Rare Reveals Five New Battletoads Facts

, , , , , , , 0

British game studio Rare has put out a new video in their Rare Revealed series, this one about the making of the Battletoads series. Five new secrets are told from the mouths of the original staff. The first story they tell is why they wound up making a game about toads in the first place. Contrary to what everyone’s assumed up to this point, choosing a creature that would originate from the same pond as a turtle wasn’t the main motivation. According to artist Kevin Bayliss, Rare started dabbling in original games when they found the licensed material they had been working on to be too limiting (he mentions a pro wrestling game specifically, and he must really have wanted to give Hulk the ability to grow a giant foot and boot Jake the Snake across the screen). Bayliss recalls that when asked for ideas, he piped up and suggested toads. When asked why, he said “Well, I’ve really been into pond life ever since I was a kid.” CEO

When Rare Replay was revealed at this year’s E3 during the Microsoft Media Briefing and the game subsequently appeared on the Xbox.com store, some people raised an eyebrow at the seemingly low download size of just under 12GB. That seemed like an incredibly low file size for what was 30 games, several of which are full retail Xbox 360 games. Well it turns out that the 11.26GB download is just the initial game itself with the earlier NES, SNES, N64 and Xbox titles. The Xbox 360 titles included in the collection come as separate files and will take up a further 38GB, meaning that the full size of Rare Replay will approach 50GB in total, or around 1/10 of the total space available in the normal Xbox One hard drive. “After purchase, the Xbox 360 titles within Rare Replay will also be added to your download queue. Installation space for all titles will require a further 38Gb. If you cancel the installation of a title, you can reinstall at any

The benefit of this is that you get to use your existing achievements to get a head start in unlocking the bonus content within Rare Replay,” he said, “Furthermore, your saves carry across too thanks to the wonders of the Cloud – if you saved it up

Thank heaven for Rare Replay. It’s a very good thing that Microsoft has decided to remaster and re-release so many classic games from Rare’s history, games that until now were rotting in the N64 library, doomed to forever be cartridge exclusives at low resolution. Classics like Blast Corps and Jet Force Gemini deserved better. Here is the full list of titles Rare Replay includes. They’re not all winners, of course, but the ratio of winners to losers is very high for a compilation title. I should point out that with Jetpac’s inclusion on the disc, a Rare game is now available for both a current-gen Nintendo and Microsoft console at once.
