Thread 715694329

Remember when Battletoads got a lot of promotion and build up in 2015 for a game that would only be properly revealed in 2018 to negative reception, release in 2020 to middling scores, and was quickly forgotten?

Look, I get it was for charity and I can respect that but frankly I'm more surprised this guy's appearance in this game hasn't aged like milk

I honestly thought it was funny

It's kind of jarring given Killer Instinct and Shovel Knight did them justice and then here comes the actual game it was leading to being a multi hour long Dorkly sketch

Calarts Battletoads lmao

>>715694329 (OP)
Why did they place their bets on Battletoads of all things?

>>715695591
Did they ever explain why they chose this character?

A massive overestimation of meme magic and how far that would translate into actual sales, along with being ten years late to the party. Probably the same thing as Prey 2016 too where the devs wanted to make an original IP but the publisher demanded it have an existing brand name attached to it for marketing purposes.

>make a revival to a game series
>everyone involved in the revival besides the composers seemingly doesn't understand the appeal of the franchise or actively doesn't like it but made it anyways
but why though

I'm still upset about Smash having too much Fire Emblem characters since Smash 4.
