Battletoads is the sequel to one of NESâs best games ever. When it released on Xbox One and PC recently, the game was a major let down. Reviewers have criticized the game for being lazy, obnoxious, and unfit for 2020. People have even mistaken that the game must be bugged because it felt so inane. Nonetheless, Battletoads seems to have nothing compared to its predecessors.

Few have even compared the game to a Netflix series;
4 and a half hours into this game and I fucking hate it. I have to complete it... but god... should have just been a netflix animated series. Battletoads 2020 sucks balls.

But the disappointment is most common in all reviews;
Watched some of the Battletoads cut-scenes on YouTube, it's very american cartoon, which is to say it's aggressively self aware, over written and ironic, I'm not gonna pretend to be a hardcore fan or anything but it kinda sucks that they went this way.
The biggest aid to this disappointment is that the game was an Xbox Game Pass release. Most people believe anybody will play a game if they pay a subscription. It is like watching low rated movies on Netflix, which you would never buy tickets for otherwise. Of course, the nostalgic element did hit some. They chose to oppose the general hatred this game was getting,
Iâm really digging #Battletoads so far! I really donât know why people are hating on it so much aside from Angry old man donât like change MAH CHILDHOOD Itâs 2020 and we have a new Battletoads game. Deal with it. Or just keep scrolling. đ¸
It seems like the mixed publicity has done the game some good. Battletoad is now in the top 50 Xbox One games of 2020 on Metacritic. That is not so bad for a game people are complaining has lost all its previous charm. We also have to take into account the fact that this game has released after 26 years. A tweet very accurately summed up this huge reboot gap;
The Dark Queenâs gets an updated design. Honestly, it was quite a view to watch the character in dynamic motion;

Battletoads in its time was one of the most advanced gaming builds. The biggest disappointment comes in from those who expected more out of the gameplay. Also, the graphics feel like the 20s minigames on Windows XP. The combat is not very demanding or skill-based. The content has limitations as many would point out. There are only 4 different types of enemies. The game also ends very fast, which for most will seem like a disappointment.
26 years later this fan-favorite might take you by surprise, but the emotion depends on the receiving end.
Huh. Played a few levels of the new Battletoads and...it's pretty good? Huh.
The game is also available on Steam.
