Honestly if someone with terrible luck was selling Lottery tickets they haven't scratched I would buy it. Whats more unlucky, buying a losing lottery ticket, or giving someone thousands of dollars for 2 dollars.

"I made him three inches shorter. Doesn't seem like much, but his WHOLE LIFE will change." True and actually really fucking funny

"Skeleton Warriors" [Jackpot Noise] "Oh okay." That entire bit was golden.

As someone with a straight up smear frame of an animation from this game as a pfp, I think this game worked as a great introduction to the Battletoads franchise for newcomers.

I always knew that Bumbles McFumbles was the master of sound based humor, but when he used the wrong buzzer to make megalovania, that just got me laughing for ages.

You know, this is by far the best review of Battletoads 2020. A thorough review that acknowledges its strengths and weaknesses while not trying to play the compare game.

Gotta be honest: I never knew they even made a new Battletoads game. I wondered why the “do you have battletoads” joke died, I guess I know now

Man, looking at all of the funny little sequences that were designed for 3 players, it's criminal this game wasn't given online co-op. I cannot imagine how much fun it would be to do little warioware mini games or play rock paper scissors in the middle of your beat-em-up on like a Discord call

Seeing the ability to swap between each of them in the middle of a fight now just makes me wish they were in a Marvel VS Capcom style fighting game.

_Battletoads_ really is one of those games that tests your determination, and that's what I love about it. It doesn't get nearly enough attention or love in my opinion.

it so weird because when i played the original the defining trait for me was that it was cartoony, the way they stretched, the weird enemies, throwing enemies into the screen, for me the only correct way to make them is leaning more into it

30:56 is most glorious frame of animation I've ever seen.

This is why we should all give “middle of the road” games a chance, either you’ll find one of the worst games you ever played, or you find a diamond in the rough.

Ok, who said the artstyle sucks? It looks fucking awesome

"Or they're three toads that punch." Yeah I'm sticking with this one.

Wait...that Pimple platforming section...did Bumbles *just praise a section inspired by Donkey Kong??*

2:32 Mummies Alive was actually a pretty damn good show. EDIT And so was Samirai Pizza Cats, even the japanese studio that created it thinks the US release (which was basically an abridged version of itself because they didn't have the original script to work from) is the better version.

Thanks to this video, the phrase "Chug my Dump-Truck!" is now part of my vocabulary and I cannot thank you enough for that.

After your struggles with the bullet hell section, I'd like to see you try a Touhou game. Interesting history, rabid fanbase, brutal difficulty... perfect for a video!

21:59 - 22:05 Okay people. Why you always say that Eric Bauza is remembered for voicing ONLY Bugs Bunny? He actually voiced lots of other characters since 2000s. He is the mimic voice of Shaggy, Marvin the Martian, Speedy Gonzales, Henry Hawk, Woody Woodpecker, Baby Fuzzy, Stimpy, Gizmoduck, Atomic Ant and Puss in THE Boots. And he voiced normaly characters like: White Panthera, Slip and Slide, Foop, Lord Stingray, Red-Faced Kwan, Bahdeuce, Slab, Pillowmint Buttler, Iron-Spider, Master Frown, Albedo and Lord Takagami.

Have you ever heard of Pizza Tower? It aims to be a sort of spiritual successor to Wario Land, and I think it's amazing, and that everyone should at least look into it.

"we take the president's dog and make him buff" *Overwatch, the tf2 based Undertale au's Megalovania*

2020s Battletoads game is under appreciated,and it’s such a shame it’s one of the best made beat em up platformers ever made by RARE. Glad that your reviewing it,cause Battletoads deserves to be recognised today.

I like the art style-I think that there aren’t enough 2D cartoony games coming out today. This (funnily enough given its original nature as trying to capitalize on the Ninja Turtles trend) really reminds me of Rise of the TMNT in the general reception described here. Both have extremely bouncy, unique, colorful, and (dare I say) overall good art styles that deviated so much from what fans expected that they were dismissed immediately by said fans.

Honestly, as someone struggled with playing through the Battletoads at an early age, I really enjoyed the series in a bizarre way because it was still so fun to go through the zany story and interesting mechanics just to progress and see where the story would take you. And when I remembered that Battletoads had actually entered into Killer Instinct 2013 in the form of Rash being a playable fighter, I just knew there was something beautiful to behold about the whole series and the concept of them. Anyways, I really enjoyed your video and looking at a retrospective of the series as a whole, and I wish you the best of luck with all of your future videos. Speaking of which, could you please try and consider making a followup to the Kanto Pokemon as pets video for all of the Johto Pokemon? It really meant a lot to see it and I really liked your observations and takes on it, so please consider doing a followup if possible, please?

I swear ever since I started playing Killer Instinct 2013, the Battletoads have started to haunt me

Okay it might not have taken off like TMNT but Samurai Pizza Cats was a pretty great show 💀

I like how the only person that wasn't censored was AVGN

Don't have much to contribute to the comment section but,bumbles you make the most unique videos i've seen on the platform and in this time of youtube hell every comment helps wih the algorhythm

With people saying that they hated the artsyle, it kind of reminds me of how people absolutely hated the Rise of TMNT art style when it was first revealed. It was revealed during the giant cartoon shitty reboot wave and it, along with Mikey saying "Memes are lit" turned off people HARD.

I like how the point commentary from the Tony Hawk video made a comeback near the end.

Yeah I think the backlash to the Dark Queen's redesign and then the dev response to said backlash (basically calling anyone who didn't like the redesign sexist) overshadowed the game itself so you essentially had an inbuilt hate audience before the game even released. Meanwhile Streets of Rage 4 was, straight up, just a better game than Battletoads. Not to mention it didn't even live up to the other 80s nostalgia beat'em up which set the gold standard, Double Dragon Neon, which came out 8 years earlier in 2012, let alone Streets of Rage 4.

Thank you for reminding me that I have this game, and also thank you for motivating me to actually play it!

Hi! I had a huge binge-watch of your content yesterday, and this was the video that encouraged me to subscribe - you have an INCREDIBLE sense of humour and comedic timing! :) I also missed much of the original Battletoads mythos, as the genres I played when I was younger didn't overlap. So the 2020 game honestly just looks awesome, and I'm sad it was received so poorly. A lot of gaming seems to suffer from that currently - great projects tanked due to differing consumer expectations.

10:18 A sound reference to Lyle “Dad” Wrath, it’s appreciated, very nice.

28:30 A *major* genre swap makes sense to me for someone trying to take a break from the usual.

I wish this channel had more subs, it really deserves it.

i cant pinpoint why but that part near the beginning where youre listing off failed tmnt knockoffs really got a good laugh out of me, i dont usually like that kind of bit but you did it in a very funny way with your editing, and thats why i like you bmf :]

This game looks pretty good to me. I might have to pick this one up. Without this video I probably would have no idea it exists, so thanks. Really enjoyed the video!

The entire TMNT knockoff bit just makes me thing of "she strogan me off til I beef"

Surprised you didn't mention their appearance in the Xbox & PC version of Shovel Knight.

2:46 The shitiness became so bad it devolved into Megalovania

Finally a reveiw where they bothered to play the game

Favorite part of my Saturdays is when i get to watch the new bumbles mc fumbles video

You know you've made it as a youtuber when you get multiple comments on your video MINUTES after it comes out.

14:50 last words spoken before they flew straight into the sun and got vaporized. 29:10 they look pretty easy to me

How’d you not mention the Cheetahmen when going over tmnt knockoffs? *To be fair some things are best forgotten*

I picked this up on sale because I just had to know if it was as bad as people say, but I still haven't played it yet because I apparently didn't need to know _that_ badly. Regardless, Battletoads is weird. I can't think of another IP whose appeal primarily developed from the first three levels of a single game. Seriously, I never knew anyone who got past the Turbo Tunnel, and I only occasionally encountered kids with Battletoads games beyond the first. I think people are more enamored with the idea of Battletoads than the actual series. (That arcade game is really dope, though. Too bad it's technically unfinished.)

Road Rovers was actually pretty fun… what I saw of it, anyway… Also, cute baby cow blep!

24:07 The fact that someone referenced Skull Kid in 2020 brings peace to my ten year old self.

Yay more bmcf to watch on loop when I don’t got something else to do

Would I have ever clicked on a battle toads video on my own accord? No. Are your videos so good that I end up watching things I never otherwise would have? Absolutely.

I guess you could say this game was frog the jammin?

Ok, at least Bucky O'Hare is a fun concept. I could see it returning at least.

One good thing about this game, though it was inspired by TMNT it likely inspired Shredder’s Revenge….

20:48 this needs to be in a dlc

I always feel like looking the cutscenes is like a more sucessful idea of how to make a animated series of the Battletoads, better than the DIC series

What many GameStop employees fear .

Mu friend: how do you suddenly know a lot about battle toads ? Me - bubbles Mac fumbles

The campy flavor of the game and stylized look was perfect to me. I mean, how serious should a show about anthropomorphic toads be anyway?

Can’t believe you named the video Toadally Awesome next to the day that Toadally Awesome is set to be executed in Yugioh Master Duel

I know that tag line is bait. But I'm takin' it.

2:45 - the description plus the megalovania buzzer sent me. 3:07 - the Stone Protectors just didn't have a chance in hell, did they?

I played this battletoads game, and I had fun in its beat em up sections, but dreaded the non beat em up stuff like the space section or the meditation platforming section. I guess that's how it was back in the day then, huh. Weirdly enough, I enjoyed the newer sinpler artstyle, but that may be because I never grew up playing the classics. I still hope that microsoft grows smart and lets rareware bring back more of their ips too for the peeps who love them!

The artstyle for this game makes the Battletoads feel like the weird slightly gross TMNT knockoff that Cartoon Network would've aired in the 90s if they could. Big Cow and Chicken vibes, in the best way.

Maybe it's due to my love of soft big guys but I'm now extremely attached to Pimple and want to seek out a long play of this. He's just trying to live his life...

Also funny how Rash has a cameo in Grounded as a action figure and landmark on the map.... that's all

I don’t get where some people were coming from when complaining about the art style it’s not bad and it clearly had a lot of effort put into it. I don’t know how you would expect a game where you play as anthropomorphic Toads and not be at least be a little cartoony.

Biker mice from Mars had an amazing game, so that redeems them

Can’t wait to finish work to actually, y’know, enjoy this video.

I'm so bummed, why did they have to ban the Battletoads boss monster? Friggin Sprights... May as well go back to Wetlands Beatdown.

I was disappointed they didn’t have any of the rope climbing levels. They were my favorite in the original

Glad to see I'm not the only one who thought this game looked awesome.

NGL, The Reason for hate for the New Battletoads art style is exactly the same reason Rise of the TMNT got hate. Because of ART STYLE... HMMM

Yea this game got kinda screwed. Sucks because it's pretty fun, just got kinda everything wrong in terms of showing it off. I think the biggest miss was the art style. It's not bad but a nostalgia peice like the battletoads probably should have leaned in to that and looked straight up like a playable 80s cartoon. But like how you remember them in your head over how they actually looked

The 2020 battletoads art style reminds me of the 2018 ninja turtles reboot

Oh this will be a fun video, I think to my self. Immediately remind Drawn to life 3 was canceled for a mobile platformer.

I'll admit Im on the fence about this game. On one hand I LOVE the simple, yet difficult to master combat of the arcade game with intense bosses and nigh universal attack prioritization from said bosses and enemies, which really added a sense of adaptation to the game and its difficulty.. I also feel like going down a much more grosser n' gritty route for the Toads' aesthetic fit way better.. On another, I appreciate this game and the blood, sweat and tears poured into this games' animation and aesthetic. I also love the expansion of gameplay, swapping health-tied heavy attacks to individual attack buttons and the various gameplay styles.. I do wish the bosses could've expanded on the Arcade, fighting the bosses DIRECTLY and gradually tearing them down.. The gore and blood, along with the cartoonyness combined with the grungyness of the sprites made it way more fun..

0:16 facts

Ur title made me sad poor toadally awesome…

36:50 "Look at these schmucks!" That got me. XD

16 million? That’s skater tier!

Yayy bumbles Mc fumbles

Did you just did a frog-pun at 16:38? Wow. Lol. Something like that i would expect that from Amphibia retrospective.

Don't act like I don't know what toadally awesome is a reference to .

I’m surprised you had the ability to hold back the puns.

Hey Samurai Pizza Cats was awesome! And following the Power Rangers trend more than the TMNT trend.

I played this game two years ago and honestly thought it was pretty fun. Was worried to play it because of the bad reputation it got but I was glad to see I thought it was alright. Definitely has some flaws and it's not very great, but I see nothing but vehement hate thrown this game's way so I'm glad to see a more balanced take here. Personally my favorite part about this game is the art style. I really don't think it fits the Battletoads IP - I was hoping it would be more like the gritty comic book style of the arcade game - but it looks so nice and I'd love to see more games that have that same gloriously vibrant style. It looked like a cartoon came to life on my screen, I loved it. Of course the biggest problem was that it wasn't anywhere near as difficult as the original games.

Sadly, this video shows me why I just don't care about the battletoads: the variety is not good. Everyone talks about the beat em up stage of level 1, which is always the shortest part. Because then you get bombarded with stage after stage of different game design, and none of them are what you came for. And I get it, just focusing on the beat em up stuff would not really be in the image of the franchise, but it would make it way more interesting to me. Basically, alot of my childhood is just playing through the first level of battletoads in battlemaniacs and then switching to final fight 3.

Only 10 more videos until the funni number is achieved

I mean I don't think the most replayed part of that trailer was because they liked her redesign.

Honestly, they could be more accurate to the original design art or using 3D instead. The beam'up sections are one of the best of the genre with a focus in variety and mobility that is lacking in other games. Their should be focus in that and not make the other part so dawn long and it was a winner game.

There was a show based on battletoads, which was cancelled after one episode

11:18 Seeing Battletoads 2020 being the 2nd most hated game from that E3 2019 chart and it only having half as much Pokémon SwSh shows how people went nuclear on those game like it was the end of the world. Jesus Christ.

Now take a look at the unsuccessful NES video game tmnt clone, *cheetahmen*

Petiton for Bumbles to do Gen 2 ranking!

Just HAD to slip Frog The Jam in there, huh mister?

Immediately mentioning drawn to life is the easiest way to sell me on a video.

29:02 got me way harder than it should’ve

26:42 You're actually wrong here. In multiplayer everyone HAS to press the button the correlates with the rail or else one of the toads will bite the bullet.
