Microsoft is sitting on a precious Rare that still hasn't been used.

A seemingly positive MS first party OP? What the...

oh, ok. Only took one reply for the usual crap to come into play.

So their first party sucks and they won't make new IP's, then why do they care about Battletoads? Killer Instinct was essentially a reboot it's been so long since it was relevant, multiply that by 10 and you have Battletoads.

Microsoft took a while to respond to all of the people begging for Killer Instinct to be remade since they bought Rare. A battletoads reboot would sell well and differentiate Microsoft from Sony well enough from Sony on XBLA. If they handed the title to a great up and coming third party dev it would be pretty sick. Battletoads was the better franchise to me compared to Ninja Turtles until Turtles in Time came out in the 90's. 

Hey...i'm actually saying something hopeful for MS. They own a very creative company's legacy. If they cannot produce on level with their legacy you might as well have pass out their IP's to great prospective companies. I'm loving Killer Instinct.

What if the meet you half way and just put the toads in KI?

Instead of making new games, I'd like to see all the old games remade and rebalanced to be more enjoyable. If people like that, then consider a new game.
