Gameday: Battletoads Double Dragon (NES)

This is probably one of the best original Nintendo system games that were created. It features everything a kid could want in a game, monsters, action, two player co-op, and giant frogs which girls found icky. We couldn't get enough of this back in the day.

Though most games can't stand the test of time, this game is one of the few that have both the nice warm retro feeling and also the feeling of a good game at the same time. Visually its not one of the best things I have ever seen, but I can't really complain about it all that much, it was good for its time and everything looks how it should even now.

The music is actually pretty fun to listen to during the game and it enhances your emotions during game-time which adds to the excitement. The sound effects are pretty awesome too.

Gameplay is very solid even with the very small amount of controls you'll need you can still pull off some pretty cool looking combos and pick up weapons and do battle like a champ. Overall its pretty fun and I find that playing this is actually better than playing some of the newer games out there these days.

My only real complaint about the game is that some of the enemies don't really make much sense. Hands that come out of fans on a spaceship that have balls for arms? Typical retro enemy that makes no sense at all. Thats more of a problem with the times than it is with the game itself though.

All together, I found this game to be a heck of alot of fun and I suggest you check it out.
