Battletoads & Double Dragon

Battletoads & Double Dragon is a side-scroll beat 'em up developed by Rare that came out for the NES, Genesis, SNES, and Game Boy in 1993. For the first, and only time, we get to see two of the hardest beat 'em up games out there combine into one kick-ass adventure! For use of this review we're going to be looking at the Genesis version because it was my childhood and the SNES version sucks! You heard me.

The title screen gives us our selection of one and two players. Two players is separated by mode A and B which basically means do you want friendly fire on or off? I don't know why anyone would want to play Mode A. One of you would have to stand back during all the boss fights or you'd just hit each other. There's no advantage to it. Once you decided on a mode you can start your game.

Elliot/Jason: Celebrates with her

Ayen: Guys, guys! I have a great idea! We should use that highly advanced transporter we've been working so hard on and be the first to go to a different dimension!

The others look at Ayen blankly.

Ralph: Ayen, you're drunk.

Ayen: No, no, guys. It's a great idea. We can go and be back before they even know we're gone, even though they have hundreds of people monitoring the machine in all hours of the days and night.

The Others: … Okay!
