The first Game Boy Battletoads cart was really hot. Gamers who haven't seen the NES version will probably enjoy the original game more than this Game Boy tadpole. However, most gamers that hop on down to the store are gonna be lookin' for a new pond to play in. Tradewest and Rare have a great thing going with the Toads. The Toads can also grab weapons dropped by defeated foes to whack the remaining bad guys. Repeated punching or kicking still pulls off the Big Boot, an impressive kick that sends enemies to the showers. Button B is for hitting and kicking, and Button A is for jumping. The two-button controls make maneuvering simple. Just try to find the ball to throw at the Walker at the end of Level 1.Īlthough it's not as challenging as the NES version, Ragnorok's World has all of the great game play that made the Battletoads a kick. What worked on the NES doesn't have enough contrast to be clearly visible on the Game Boy. The problem is, they're too nicely detailed and tend to blend into the backgrounds, which makes tiny objects almost invisible on the small Game Boy screen. Sound familiar?

This time around, Zitz and Princess Angelica have been captured by the Dark Queen. The bad news is that fans of the webfooted trio aren't gonna find anything new here, except perhaps a severe case of eyestrain.īattletoads in Ragnorok's World is a one-player action game with arcade-style hack 'n' slash game play.

The good news is that the original Battletoads is a great game. The first thing Toad aficionados are gonna notice about Battletoads 2 for the Game Boy is that it's actually a black and white version of the original Battletoads on the NES.
