Battletoads (Game Boy) Playthrough - NintendoComplete
327A playthrough of Tradewest's 1991 beat 'em up for the Nintendo Game Boy, Battletoads.
This is a different game from the "port" of the NES version, confusingly named "Battletoads in Ragnarok World". I personally much prefer this version on the old green-and-grey handheld though.
The original(ish) stages are great and the music is awesome. Not that there's anything wrong with the NES tracks downmixed to the GB sound hardware in Ragnarok World, but the original tunes in this one are no joke! It's probably my favorite of all of the Battletoads soundtracks. The graphics are also pretty awesome, with some huge sprites that dwarf the typical Game Boy fare.
It's a very impressive title for the Game Boy, but having been developed by Rare, should anyone actually be surprised by that?
This is also a MUCH easier game than just about any other Battletoads game out there. It is still fairly stiff for the Game Boy (especially the stages with the brain chase and the rocket pack), but really, it's not hard at all if you can ace the NES version.
