Battletoads/Double Dragon (fully titled Battletoads & Double Dragon – The Ultimate Team) is a 1993 beat ’em up developed by Rare and published by Tradewest. It was originally released for the Nintendo Entertainment System and later ported to the Mega Drive/Genesis, Super NES, and Game Boy. Retro-bit Publishing (under license from ARC System Works and Rare) has re-released the 8-bit NES version in early 2022 with plans to release the 16-bit versions later this year.
The Ultimate Team is a crossover of both Technos Japan’s Double Dragon and Rare’s Battletoads game franchises, although Technos had little or no credited involvement in production beyond the Double Dragon license. The game features the characters from the Double Dragon series, Billy and Jimmy Lee, two young martial arts experts; also included are the three humanoid toad protagonists from the Battletoads game. It is also the first Battletoads game to feature all three toads as playable characters. The game’s engine and design are directly based upon the Battletoads series.
After she was defeated by the Battletoads, the evil Dark Queen flees to the outer reaches of the universe and the ‘Toads and their mentor get on with their lives. However, one day the Earth’s military is neutralized and the giant spaceship Colossus emerges from the moon. Apparently, the Dark Queen is back with another plan to dominate the galaxy, and she has allied herself with the Shadow Warriors (from the Double Dragon series) to supplement her forces. Deciding to even the odds, the Battletoads contact Billy and Jimmy Lee for help. The brothers agree, and all five immediately take off for the Colossus in a mission to stop this two-pronged threat.
Battletoads/Double Dragon is a beat ’em up video game where the players, as either one of the three Battletoads or Jimmy and Bimmy, attack enemies, swing ropes, go on spaceships, and turbo bike to defeat the Shadow Boss and Dark Queen. It has three play modes: a single-player, a “2 Players A” mode where the players can hit each other, and a “2 Players B” that doesn’t have that. Its engine and gameplay is from the original Battletoads, and less like Double Dragon. Like the prior Battletoads installment, there are only three continues and no password system, and in the two-player modes, if one player loses all lives, both players have to start a level over. The 16-bit versions have identical gameplay to their NES counterparts, attacks and jumping are triggered by only two buttons.
