Game Overview

Battletoads & Double Dragon is one of those ridiculous, over-the-top NES brawlers that somehow works. You get the Battletoads' weird mutant powers (like turning your fist into a wrecking ball mid-combo) mixed with Double Dragon's classic street-fighting moves—and yeah, it's as chaotic as you'd expect.

The first level throws you right into it: smashing through neon-lit alleyways, chucking enemies into the screen, and occasionally hopping on those infamous turbo bikes (which are somehow even harder here). The Dark Queen's goons come at you with everything from laser guns to... giant floating heads? It's pure '90s nonsense, but in the best way.

Play it solo if you hate yourself, but it's way better with a friend—just be ready to argue over who gets stuck playing as the less-cool Battletoad. The difficulty spikes are brutal, but pulling off a co-op piledriver never gets old. This is the kind of game where you'll die 20 times on the same spot and still come back for more.
