Battletoads

Quite unfortunate because the last arcade game was REALLY good (maybe even the best yet) but still hardly anyone's played or even seen it.

Yes, it really is a great game. It was one of the first boards I looked for when I got into arcade PCBs and I had it in my friend's arcade for awhile where it made quite a bit of cash.

Yup, Rare still has BT's and Blast Corps as well.

“We kept [the rights to] Killer Instinct, Banjo-Kazooie, Conker, and a number of other character sets that were not a part of Nintendo,” said Hochberg. “That includes Battletoads, Blast Corps, and Perfect Dark.”

Thanks for the link, I can't believe I missed that article, I always enjot reading Steve Kent's stuff.

Aha so the possibility of a sequel somewhere down the line is not out of the question. As much as I like their 3D platformers, I sure as hell wouldn't want to see them going that route with a seuquel.

Man I almost forgot about the arcade game, I think I played it once at some arcade in Taiwan. I remember there were even rumors of it going to 32X.
