What is your favorite old school game and why is it Battletoads?

>> No.2473753

>>2473743
Because it varies in a lot of aspects and it's got a nice difficulty, also just fun

>> No.2473760

I like Battletoads because Gamestop always has it in stock, which means my friends can own it too!

>> No.2473774

>>2473743
Because the only thing I love more than video games are memes so having them both combined into one memetastic package is like being a herm and fucking my own vagina.

>> No.2473802

>>2473743
Because Turbo Tunnel is an extremely good casual filter.


Battletoads and Double Dragon is harder, though

What a weird way to spell Wario Land.

Battletoads wouldn't even figure in my top 10 beat'em up personal list. Maybe Battletoads & DD, shit is fun as fuck.

Really? I find it hard to believe anyone would actually think this.

>beat'em up
Battletoads is only a beat-em-up for, like, 2.5 stages. The majority of the game is platforming and lethal obstacle courses.

>>2473743
It's not my favorite game but memes aside, it's quite cool. Lots of variety, good graphics (the backgrounds are really cool, plus dat parallax), neat effects like the rotating tower, good music, and just a neat atmosphere that's goofy and comic book-y.

>> No.2474548

>>2473894
I find BT&DD is way less generous with lives than the first game. The stages are also extremely long.

>> No.2474875

I don't like this game. It's too hard for it's own good in my opinion.
>inb4 git gud
Played it, beat it, wouldn't do it again. Fuck this game. Is the Battletoads/Double Dragon crossover any better?

>> No.2474905

>>2474875
The difficulty is mostly memorization, once you beat it the first time, you can do it a second time easily.

>> No.2474940

>>2474905
In my opinion that's one of the worst kind of difficulty, especially with limited lives and continues.

>> No.2477459

>>2474548
But most of them are just straight up beat 'em up segments as opposed to the devilish gimmicks of the first game.

This game is one of the worst contenders, though I find. Trial an error is usually an excuse to throw bull at the player.

I can't beat clinger winger anyways

How the fuck do you beat clinger winger

>> No.2480656

>>2480602
What controller are you using?
Some controllers make it harder or almost impossible because you spend too much time in the diagonal ranges, which cause you to slow down. Try to switch directions as fast as possible. If you're using a 360 controller the D-pad is so inaccurate you couldn't do it with all the luck in the world.

Try using a keyboard, but even then you have to adjust your timing to the release mechanism of the keyboard.

>dying to the boss of Rat Race
Sgt. Slaughter? Really? He's super predictable and is probably the easiest boss in the game other than the first. Weird.

>>2480602
>>2480656
Clinger-Winger is one of those levels that seemed super hard when I first played it, but now is practically a rest period between the hard final stages. I dunno, something about the timing, once you get it down, it's just second nature. I play on original NES hardware though.

Rat Race #3, on the other hand, is always a buttclench for me no matter what.
