Originally released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1991 and subsequently ported by Mindscape to the Amiga in 1992, by Arc System Works to the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and Sega Game Gear both in 1993, by Rare to the Game Boy in 1993 (retitled as Battletoads in Ragnarok's World), and by Mindscape to the Amiga CD32 in 1994. The exceptions to this were Battletoads & Double Dragon and the Battletoads arcade game.īattletoads: The Battletoads have to defeat the evil Dark Queen on her planet and to rescue their kidnapped partners, Pimple and Princess Angelica. Most titles in the series do not feature all three toads as playable characters, with one or two members of the team being captured by the Dark Queen. In each of the games, the objective is to defeat the toads' nemesis the Dark Queen and her army of space mutants. The initial Battletoads game for the NES was renowned for its difficulty, but was well received and spawned sequels for various platforms including a crossover with the Double Dragon series. The series as a whole has been quite popular and at its apex spawned an animated television pilot. Starring three anthropomorphic toads named after skin conditions, Rash, Zitz, and Pimple, the series was created to rival the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games. Battletoads is a video game media franchise by Rare that began with the original beat 'em up game Battletoads in 1991.
