Oh man, talk about bringing back memories. It seems that Rare is going to be reviving one of the franchises that helped make them a star in the video game community. The Battletoads: Zitz, Rash and Pimple are back! The game has apparently been in development for a while, but they just recently decided to unveil it. So far, it appears that will be released this May 10th exclusively for the Nintendo Wii. While there are tons of Battletoads fans out there, I'm not sure if they'll drop the cash to get a Wii just for this one game, when there is nearly nothing else aside from a few 1st-party titles worth buying a Wii for. However, from the single render of Pimple we've been shown, it does appear to be pushing the Wii's power. I'm not so sure about everything else though and May is nearly here already. But, Rare has been known to surprise, for better or worse. For the time being, enjoy the official and ridiculously cheesy (as in late-night male enhancement commercial cheesy) trailer below. There is also a website available for viewing at:www.battletoadspreorder.com

Wow... that was the worst trailer I have ever seen! I'm a huge Battletoads fan and have played the arcade version countless times. If you haven't checked out that version, do so! (It added blood and decapitation to the series)
Something seems really fishy about that video... I doubt the Wii can handle graphics like that, and where was the gameplay? It looked like the game was in the pre-alpha stage of barely being rendered at all...
