It was fun and rewarding to burgeoning masochists.Īlmost 26 years after the latest entry, “Battletoads Arcade,” a follow-up has finally launched, rebooting the franchise. Half the allure was its advanced visuals for the 8-bit age and the other part was that challenge. It’s a horrible experience, yet “Battletoads” is still revered among core gamers. Thumbs will ache, controllers will be thrown, tears will be shed and curses will reverberate through the house. Taking on the classic on the NES or Xbox One is torture. It’s a game that requires superhuman reflexes and monkish levels of patience. The 1991 beat-’em up is notorious for its difficulty. Despite hours of mind-numbing effort, I could not conquer “Battletoads” as a kid.
