Battletoads looks like a cheap basic cable cartoon.

That Altered Beast game on PS2 certainly wasn't AAA or a success by any measure.

Cutting edge in the 90s is very different than cutting edge today. The reason studios make less games now is because AAA games are much more complex and expensive. You have to consider that when you ask for a cutting edge Battletoads game today.

I don't see this as a lesser form, its more like par for the course. Cult following doesn't mean this IP can sell many millions of units per se. Frankly, MS has other IPs that more people would like to see revived.

If Battletoads were to get a AAA game, in my mind it would be a project similar to God of War, Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden, etc. That's what a modern AAA beat em' up looks like to me these days. That would be interesting, but we didn't expect a AAA game nor was that hyped.

Maybe in the future MS will work with Koei Tecmo to create a Battletoads Warriors game! That would be huge among the Battletoads fans in Japan...

Frankly, I want Battletoads to get every type of game. Classic 2D beat em up, AAA game, Dynasty Warriors clone, a VR game, a kart racer, a party game, maybe an open world Grand Theft Battletoads and lastly they can make the World of Battletoads online MMO! I mean this IP is so huge and has so much potential, MS is just wasting it! Battletoads has the potential to be a Mario Bros killer!

I'm a little confused, you say it shouldn't be an AAA because it wouldn't sell much, but then you say it have potential to be a Mario Killer.

I was wanting an AAA Battletoads. I didn't say Altered Beast was AAA (but certainly seemed a bigger project than this BattleToads, and closer to the top games of the time it released), but that I liked it while this idea for BattleToads I don't like much.

I don't know exactly what you're confused about. I don't think Battletoads is as popular as you think, I guess that's what I'm saying.

Hey, I would love some sort of AAA stab at Battletoads, but it wouldn't be anything like the classic games if you were gonna go that route. Like I said, it would probably be more like God of War, DmC, etc. What we're actually getting is pretty much what I expected, although I'm always disappointed with this modern cartoon style.

I'm saying a AAA Battletoads makes as much or less sense than many old IPs getting the AAA treatment. I want many old IPs to become mega budget modern games, its just not gonna happen.

Double Dragon never got the AAA treatment. But I loved Double Dragon Advance and Double Dragon Neo, some of the greatest games in the genre. With that said, I will reserve judgment on this new Battletoads until I actually play it.
