"Battletoads, I was never able to beat the Turbo Tunnel"
And now a dude can clear it blindfolded. What a time to be alive.
When you think about it, Pimple is the only actual "Battle Toad". Zit and Rash are technically "Battle Frogs".
I never knew an NES version of this game even existed! O_O
If you think this is crazy, there was also a gameboy version.
The NES version is actually the original version.
I thought this was an SNES game😮
This version is the best
It came out on NES, SNES , Sega Genesis and Gameboy
Years fly by so fast , I've been watching Cinemassacre for so many years , it's part of my life, don't ever stop we love you guys!
My brother and I used to play this game on the Genesis all the time. We'd gotten so good at it that we'd play it on Mode A and intentionally kick the crap out of each other, and still beat the game. Of course, it was never easy during the best of times, but it was always so fun!
How do you know if his dog is nice? How do you even know he has one!? HUH!? HUH?
These vids keep me motivated in the low times of CZcams.
Years fly by so fast , been watching Cinemassacre for so many years , it's part of my life, don't ever stop we love you guys!
More like dark ages...
its a lesbian cat... i can tell
But PROTO!
Shutup
Never played this on NES back in the day, I grew up with the Genesis version. A classic :D
I played the SNES version. Great music. They should have used one of the 16 bit ones
This game deserves a direct sequel. Maybe even a Battle Toads/Double Dragon Neon EX
.....that would be awesome - only just got around to playing Neon tonight and loving it. Seems like a no-brainer to do a sequel, but if they can't turn it into a battle royale, they ain't interested 😬
5:05 this is the only NES game I know that has 3d effects that good they look like SNES level with how the platforms simulates 3d
Bimmy and Genital Warts,that is a good team up
Genital warts on your Jimmy.
Yes it is a good team skijumpnose
skijumpnose why do I see your comments at the top of everything? These vids and tons of ASMR videos.
He didn't play as Genital Warts though, they played as Bimmy and Gonorrhea
It is
Golden Axe 1 had the same system. You had more continues playing for one character on single-player versus co-cop where the continues were shared between two.
Loved this game as a kid. Played it with my neighbor all the time on Genesis. It's SOOO hard though, I don't think we ever managed to get past the 4th level. One of the earliest crossovers I can remember being really excited over...battletoads and double dragon being in the same game was nuts.
This game is more well-rounded than the OG Battletoads IMHO!
I owned and beat this game on SNES. Game is no joke.
I didn't even know it was on NES. I was confused by this video lol.
My neighbor had the SNES game when I was younger. We would play all the time but we never got past the Arnold Schwarzenegger boss.
that soundtrack is amazing on snes!
Lmao
It's pretty easy compared to Battletoads.
I love the nes one the most.
Great video, love watching you guys just hang out. Reminds of sitting around with friends as a kid playing games !
I've had this game since I was younger. Me & my friend used to play co-op all the time & die around the same part you guys did.
I could never beat level 2
That game is very funny if you play co-op on mode-a where you can beat your friend :)
I've had this game since I was a little kid as well Intimidation
Me either Monty Mack
Yes it is very funny Sergius
1. The rat is the same as in Battletoads game.
2. The toads are different. Zitz has the fastest movement speed, and Pimple is the slowest.
It took me a while to figure out what they were talking about when they mentioned fight, until I realized it was on the wall.
Graphics are pretty impressive for NES.
4:27 - 4:52 I didn't know NES could do floor rendering like that.
Ive waited soo long for this one to get played. I loved this game when i was younger.
I used to play the SNES version of this game at my friend's house whenever I went over there. So much fun.
I remember as a kid expecting this game to be like "Double Dragon 2" (my fav of the DD series) and "Battletoads" combined...Only to be disappointed to find that Billy and Jimmy were essentially 2 extra Battletoads in human form. It was still a fun game, but back then I didn't realize how impossible it would be to code different fight styles into one NES game.
Double Dragon 1 and 2 were very common in arcades. I remember one instance where the jump button didn't work and you had to go "down, up" on the joystick to make Bimmy jump. I had the same thing happen (on one arcade box) with the TMNT arcade game. I have never seen Double Dragon 3 in the wild; I've only played it on MAME. Hoo boy. It doesn't even look like an official game. Animation? Who needs that? It's like the developers were still in the Alpha phase and corporate told them "We need a new game. Just ship what you have."
Honestly, this is the game Battletoads SHOULD have been. Half straight brawler, half change up gimmick segments, with the difficulty toned down to what mortals can handle.
If only this game didn't feel so much cheaper and had the better production values of the original Battletoads.
"Yeah?" "Yeah" "Aha"
I always love leaving these on when I'm working in the backround or trying to fall asleep, :D
When I was a kid I used to count out a waltz time signature while playing Double Dragon 3 to help with the changing platforms that change completely out of time with the background music.
I personally really love this game; it's actually my favorite game between either franchise. This is coming from someone who loves the whole Double Dragon Trilogy, where Double Dragon 3 was actually my favorite of the NES trilogy. And the Original Battletoads was also really awesome, but Battletoads Arcade was also excellent.
3:56 This is how it's canon that even Professor T. Bird can beat Abobo.
Hey James and Mike!
Love the content, I never would have expereienced most of these games unless I saw your videos so thank you for that. I actually had a game request for you guys to play on James and Mike Mondays. The two games I request are Fury 3 (microsoft 95') on PC, and also Lemmings on PC.
I don't if you're familiar with these games already, Fury 3 is like a flight simulator game super fun (oh I should mention that these are "Good!" games), and Lemmings, The objective of the game is to guide a group of anthropomorphised lemmings through a number of obstacles to a designated exit. To save the required number of lemmings to win, one must determine how to assign a limited number of eight different skills to specific lemmings that allow the selected lemming to alter the landscape, to affect the behaviour of other lemmings, or to clear obstacles to create a safe passage for the rest of the lemmings. (wikipedia lol)
Anyways maybe consider looking at those games, or don't if you're too busy. Keep up the good work guys you guys rock.
One day when i was i kid i realised you can spam the end hit special fist or kicks by running too fast near an already damaged enemy and using the attack button very fast. Some of the bosses were getting one shot by that. But in the end you were getting less points so less extra lives
Had it for the SNES, pretty awesome game.
When you were a kid, did you ever lend a game and never got it back. I did.
8:50 - The only NES games I'm aware of that actually scaled difficulty based on number of characters playing were the TMNT games. Less enemies would come out and the health of the bosses would decrease. I think the Contra games might've done that too, but I don't know for a fact.
im so goddamn depressed watching this guys old videos make me a little happy. thanks m8
The GREATEST beatemup crossover to ever happen ever. God I love this game!
This is my favorite game of all time, i played this a lot with my dad back then, so much fun
My God, it's one of my fav. NES games EVER! Soo glad to see this..
My favorite NES game! When i was a child, i got this for 1 week to play. When i had to gave it back, i cried a lot.
Love this game!!! One of the select few I still have. Fully beat it only a handful of times. Quick tip : steal lives from the second player on type a for a single player run.
I loved this game on the NES. This, Super Mario 3, and Ninja Turtles 3 the Manhattan project were probably my most played games on the system.
14:10 Wow, more absolutely incredible audio syncing, guys.
My friend had the SNES version of this game, and we used to play it all the time. My favourite of both series.
ONE OF MY FAVORITE GAMES OF MY CHILDHOOD THANK YOU JAMES!!!!!
I loved both franchises as a kid... but I never knew this existed!
Anybody notice when James and Mike are together they both stutter like crazy?
Love this game on the SNES. Still really difficult but you eventually get in a groove and progress. Although that god damn rat space ship always gets me! Was only able to beat it on 2 player.
18:30 Jet Force Gemini is Rare just like Battletoads! Great game, unlocked everything possible as a youth
love this game. one of my #1 rented games as a kid
Jet Force Gemini was such a good game. You got to play as a little bulldog flyin' around with hover-jets in his feet; how could it *not* be amazing?
By the time 1993 rolled around my NES was an afterthought. Was nothing but 16 bit consoles for me at that point. Never got much into Battletoads/Double Dragon, but I like the separate games. I agree though, Double Dragon 2 is the best one to play.
I have the snes version and occasionally when my nephew comes over I’ll pop this in and we’ll play for hours
I played this game in the arcade and i smashed the button in. I don't think it was my fault because the guy in front of me was playing crazy.
I had no idea these games existed as one single game. Awesome I got to try it
Technically that's a pretty impressive game! Smooth scrolling in both horizontal as vertical directions, that's not the isiest thing to do on a NES. And the '3d-parallax scrolling' is pretty cool too. And great use of color as wel. I like it, though I never played it!
Simple the best nes game ever
9:00 Perfect Dark Zero is the game you're looking for. There are MUCH more enemies during COOP gameplay.
I loved jumping over people and throwing them at the same time in double dragon 3
Mike yes RARE did curve the game for the 2Player version, as they did for Double Dragon 2 and 3 (less enemies on 1P mode)
My friends and I used to play this on snes and it caused literal fist fights between us.
I could've sworn there was a SNES version of this same game that I played as a kid but could never get that far.
A remake of this on PS4 would be great.
Yeah let's hope so. Just like they're gonna do a new battletoads, and let's hope that sells well so they can keep on making more new ones in the future.
Nice one! Played this a lot on the SNES back in the day. Believe I got it for the Game Boy as well, but don't think I ever tried the NES version. Easiest Battletoads game by far, and gets even easier with Bimmy & Jimmy, thanks to their jump kicks.
The beating of the chicks with the whips is brutal.
This game looks so good that I didn't realize until halfway through the video that they're playing the NES version.
Very hard, but very fun!
Great game.
Of the 3 versions, this was my fav because of the music
You guys should play Flashback: Quest for Identity, it was an awesome game. Also Contra 3: the Alien Wars.
Billy's Spite looks so much like one of the Biker Mice From Mars.
I still have the original cart!
Fantastic game :)
1 of my favorite games reviewed by my FAVORITE CZcams game reviewer's!!!
There should be more battletoads and double dragon crossovers
I used to trade games back and forth temporarily, but nothing beyond that. I doubt my mom would ever allow that anyway even if I wanted to.
Andy..my mom just drove me to the store, most of the games i had, i bought em myself. I worked to buy the stuff i wanted as a kid. And i had lots of stuff even a snowmobile and a atc.
It wasmone of those things though. Like...you had the game for a while. Like a couple of months. 1 month being the least. Couple of months being average......and your parents even forgot they bought it for you. So trading ir...they wouldn't even realize you had a knew game. Probably think they bought it.
And as a kid...everyone had games, no one was actually trying to be sneaky with parents...it was just the mindset you had. I have this old thing I don't want, let's trade.
yeah , but mom would let you trade them to toys r us for 10% of their value..... i remember trading like 10 games to toys r us for like 20$... they got me good.
Loved this game as a kid. That OST is fire af.
How the fuck have I never heard of this game before? Lol A Battletoads and Double Dragon crossover? That’s amazing!
Never a permanent trade but more of a lend ..
and when you got in a fight with that friend and had to play nice just to get your games back but still wanted to beat their ass.
I LOVE this game, it's pretty balanced in difficulty, sure the last boss is tough as nails but the amount of 1-UPs you can get if you play well is more than enough to beat that last boss.
Beat em ups were my favorite back in the day
Loved this game as a kid.
I played the SNES version with my cousin before
This is the world's greatest video game crossovedr ever!!
I was surprised they don't try some well known tricks. Like crouch&uppercut (or fast vixen beating) on 3rd level. Or bike charge on second... But oh well...
Can’t believe this is a 90-100 dollar game nowadays. 8-bit prices are out of control
Mateo Incognito scarcity value
Ya takes the fun out of collecting, it was before people made it so expensive
its not like the carts are still in production after all.
Look up the stats on how much bigger the gamer market is than when these games were produced. The total number of carts that were made were for a much smaller population of gamers in the 80s/90s. Now you have all these retro collectors, and you can see the problem. It's why the big companies are cashing in now with stuff like mini reproductions of the SNES.
I can agree with that. Especially since SNES games are over $90-$100 recently my local game store came across a copy of Chrono Trigger SNES and they wanted $112 for it. So I can agree the prices are ridiculous
I know I beat battletoads as a kid, though it was a rental and not actually something I bought. Also beat several of the Double Dragon games but those where mostly borrowed lol. I was more into the Final Fantasy games as well as games like Shining Force 1&2 and Masters of Monsters.. Think I was more into RPGs/Strat games back then. I also got into fighting games but that was the SNES era.
I remember playing the game but I kind of noticed way back then that it is easier to play and finish the game in a single player mode.
I remember more the snes version of this game, also from what I remember it felt less cluncky.
This is gonna be a good one, yet hard one
I know this might sound dumb, but Mike's hair is on fleek right now.
You guys are the best. My fiance' likes James take on things more, and I like Mikes POV more usually. We also watch AVGN together and I like Mikes live runs on games. YOU GUYS ROCK!
I was so disappointed BTDD didn't have the OP elbow for Bimmy and Jimmy. You could spam through the entire Arcade version with just the elbow
I remember getting upset that I could not get the desert to level 3 undine. so I whatevered it and put in next to a body of what and still got the undine mission, if I remember right.
I'm here in 2020 and they recently released a Battletoads 2020 video game.
Thanks for doing this I love this game to death!
The space shooter level was definitely my road block as a kid
such a classic game. brings me back.
this was my favorite game as a kid. thank you
Quality game,i use to play it on my megadrive,for some reason it reminds me to the time EA was cool "General Chaos"
I forget how awesome the NES was! This game brings back memories!!!! U should play the Genesis one!!!
Battletoads and Double Dragon mashup! Nice one!
sweet this game is in my top list of fav hard classic games but i played it on snes
