Battletoads & Double Dragon (Genesis) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

A playthough of Tradewest's 1993 beat 'em up for the Sega Genesis, Battletoads & Double Dragon: The Ultimate Team.

Played through as Rash.

Like the SNES version of the game, Battletoads/Double Dragon on the Genesis is a heavily upgraded port of the NES game of the same name.

You can find my video of the SNES version here:    • Battletoads & Double Dragon (SNES) Pl...  

And the original NES game here:

The SNES and Genesis ports do have sine differences between them, though. While the SNES game has better graphics and much higher sound quality, the Genesis cart features much improved cutscenes and more characters on-screen at once, some altered level layouts, and it overall feels a bit more responsive.

Both versions are great, but I think that the Sega game has the definite edge here. That being said, despite the constraints of the NES hardware, I still think that the 8-bit original is still the best overall version of the game.

Still, you can't go wrong with any of the three.They're all good, classic beat 'em ups, and it's clear that Rare poured a lot of care and attention into all of them.

If you like the idea of combining unattractive skin conditions with martial arts, Battletoads and Double Dtagon is an ace pick.
