So anyone hoping xbox battletoads isn't as unfairly hard as the originals? That's the right direction to go with the series. Hopefully the rumors of a new battletoads game is true.
The original Battletoads is very hard, but it is also a lot of fun. I would hope that any new Battletoads would be the same way.
A high degree of challenge is a signature of the series like it is with Ghosts n Goblins/Ghouls n Ghosts and Ninja Gaiden. Don't dumb it down. Even the instant rewind feature in the recent Rare Replay version is unnecessary and lame. The average modern gamer might put 50 hours into some new FPS or RPG. Anyone can beat Battletoads legit if they put a similar amount of effort into it.
I'm with mbd here; I'd LOVE for a new Battletoads game with the same level of challenge as the NES title. I also agree the challenge is the signature for those types of games. Don't dilute it!

I will always take gameplay > graphics, so my opinion is most likely biased.
What? Altered Beast is a classic.
I never said it wasn't a classic. This also, however, doesn't mean the Genesis version doesn't play like garbage I wear my Altered Beast shirt more than I play now. People get a serious kick out in public over it!
