Battletoads & Double Dragon

Battletoads & Double Dragon: The Ultimate Team was released in December 1993 and developed by Rare with licensing from Technōs Japan. It had ports across various consoles and it was the first title in the series were all three of the Battletoads were playable from the start. Surprisingly, most of the content was kept intact for the Game Boy® version. As the story goes, the evil Dark Queen manages to escape the ‘Toads and joins forces with the Shadow Boss. Aboard the rat ship Colossus, they decide to attack Earth. Seeking additional muscle, they enlist the help of Billy and Jimmy Lee - the Double Dragon twins - masters of the Sou-Setsu-Ken martial art and renown street brawlers. Together, these furious five look o bring down that dastardly duo once and for all!
The developers did their best to bring this awesome beat ‘em up to the portable console with very few limitations.
● Enemies are limited to two on-screen max
● Many attack animations have been simplified
● Environments on stages have been reduced
● Bosses will have different attack sequences
● It is a single-player game only
With such an action-packed title on the Game Boy®, its popularity over the years has grown with new, sealed copies commanding prices up to $3,000. It’s steady rise is a not only a testament to its rarity but also it’s timeless appeal as one of the few beat ‘em ups on the console that plays great on the go. It is our pleasure to provide new fans and veterans a chance to own their own official copy.
Taking a beat ‘em up that performed really well on other consoles and to minimize it down to the smaller, Game Boy® screen was no easy task. The developers were able to keep the sprites at about the same size as they were on the NES® while keeping a high level of detail despite the 4-color palette. Combining both worlds of Double Dragon and Battletoads means you’ll face foes from both franchises. Despite its limitations, the Game Boy® received a great port of this classic game. Players will miss out on multiplayer, but the fighting, racing, shooting, and platforming will keep you going until you see the ending.
