Saw this myself, gotta thanks BWWD for getting me into them because of his mod. I only beat the original game on the genesis by abusing save states, I'm not skilled enough at it to beat it otherwise. I've tried but at least I can say I can make it to my favorite level, Surf City, but I've never gotten passed the snake pit. Never got through Battlemaniacs but beat Battletoads and Double Dragon, again, save states, and I still play the arcade game every once in a while.
I do have to say I agree with Madgear that it would've been nice to see the Toads the way we see Rash in KI3, and seeing how Sonic can't get out of this nostalgia slump he's been in, I am a bit disapointed the toads had to go the same route, a brand new game that has to be like the original rather then something that tries to be new. I'll still give it a shot though.
