Josh from Controller Crusade writes: "If you were to assemble a Mount Rushmore of the kingpin franchises in the Beat em’ Up genre there’s no doubt that Rare’s Battletoads would rank highly on the list of contenders to be etched in stone. Although the series never saw a true sequel and consisted of some crossovers and an arcade port outside of the main NES title, the series built up a large fanbase for its innovative gameplay and edgy character design, as well as notoriety among players for its gruelling difficulty. 26 years later the toads have finally returned with a revamped look, but just how exactly do the Battletoads fare in 2020?"

You need a reason to fight the good fight. In video games, some of the best antagonists have been female perpetrators.
One of the most memorable fights I ever played. I almost didn't want to pull the trigger at the end.
Of course Sunset Overdrive gets a nod. It's Insomniac!
I personally think there's better on gamepass then what was listed. State of decay imo is better then anything listed. Recore seemed alright for what I played on there also.

Yeah, especially on One X or Series X. It kinda feels like a PS2 platformer, but in a good way. I liked it.
Odd that he specified 'Game Pass Ultimate' instead of just 'Game Pass' just so he could include a relatively weak choice comparably in 'Alice: Madness Returns' which is available with EA Play. SoD was a far better overlooked game to have listed.
Dont know why they keep listing ultimate. Gamepass is the better value....but the reason I think is that ultimate includes online gwg.
I mean, as someone who games both on PC and Xbox, Ultimate makes a whole lot of sense. There's console exclusives and PC exclusives. And, at the end of the day, EA Play is still a perk of having Ultimate. When I open Gamepass, the EA Play catalogue is sitting right there for me. It's as much part of Gamepass as any other title I'm looking at, right?
"Arcade1Up has released numerous 3/4-scale arcade cabinets over the years, but even the coolest cabinets only feature 17-inch monitors. That's what makes the announcement of the Killer Instinct PRO Series Arcade Cabinet so exciting. The Pro cabinet includes a 19-inch screen, SuzoHapp stick and buttons, and improved speakers. It will feature not just both Killer Instinct arcade games, but also the arcade, NES, and Genesis versions of Battletoads!" says Co-Optimus.
