Battletoads: A Classic In Multiple Variants

Battletoads is a legendary action platformer that first appeared on the NES in 1991. It was later ported to other systems like the Mega Drive/Genesis, Game Gear, and even the Amiga CD32. Each version brings its own unique features and challenges.

Inglebard Gaming has put together a comprehensive comparison video showing how all these versions stack up against the original NES version, making it easier for fans to decide which to play.

Highlights:

  • Mega drive/Genesis Port: Handled by Arc System Works – great visuals with additional parallax scrolling in some stages. Turbo Tunnel runs faster and smoother on the NES.
  • Game Gear Edition: Unique effects such as an AI-style overlay during boss battles at the end of level one.

What’s interesting is that each version has its own strengths and weaknesses, reflecting different development approaches back.

Watch the video for more detailed insights.

Which Battletoads port do you prefer? Do you think there's a definitive best one based on these comparisons?
