I've held off on commenting until now.

The game may look bad. It may even be bad--but I thought the same thing of Bayonetta back when. I even made a thread about how terrible it looked. Turned out to be one of my all time favorite games.

Basic stimulus response.  My dog sees a petco bag.  He has experience with these bags and knows that in the past, petco bags have generally contained toys for him.  So when he sees the bag, he feels excited.  

Since I was kind enough to answer your question, kindly answer this one.  Are you aware that words have multiple usages?

Original games as in what made the Battletoads franchise what it is (or was), drawing a destinction between then and now. Also "original games" as in, why reducing Battletoads to one game? You say the original wasn't very good, but what about Battletoads Battlemaniacs and Arcade? The "baseline" is definitely bigger than one "original game".

People comparing battletoads with cuphead should get a sight check, battletoads looks like a cheap 2d game while cuphead is probably the best looking 2d game ever made, also the old battletoads games got many ports and spinoffs, but the original arcade game remains one of the best arcade beat em ups ever, the sprite work and animations were among the best of the time, also playing with 4 people is really fun.

Are you being pedantic on purpose?  We're talking about a series where the first game is by far the best known and upon which everything else is based.  Even one of the games you mentioned is basically a remake and the other was a bomb that almost no one played.  The original game is the baseline for the franchise, like it or not.  

It is great to see someone who used to play the "english is not your first language" and similar dismissive talk to deny my points get the same threatment.

Needs some coherence, we have hard for a lifetime that Rare had freedom and that they decided tho make Kinect games, now it was MS that defined that even though claiming they had no say in anything Rare done?

Uhhhhh... not really sure if that was aimed at me or him.  I sometimes ask that, because a lot of times English is not someone's first language, and if the issue seems to be one of comprehension, that's relevant.  .  In this case, command of the English language (how look is used figuratively vs literally) is the actual issue at hand.  If it came off as dismissive, that wasn't my intention.

Rare had all the freedom they needed when making Perfect Dark Zero, Banjo Nutz and Bolts, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, Kameo, Viva Piñata, Conkers Live and Reloaded etc. I wrote a whole article about this ages ago. 

Rare was underperforming and instead of MS sitting back watching Rare destroy all there IPs, MS asked them to make Kinect games which Rare was very successful with. Kinect is possibly the reason MS never closed Rare down due to the amount of success Rare had. So we should be thanking the move and Kinect for that very reason. 

MS only recently gave Rare all there freedom back where Sea Of Thieves was made, which turned out to be a success. Rare's next project is also out of freedom while we must remember that Battletoads isn't made by Rare, its made by a Indy studio DLaLa. Much like Killer Instinct wasn't made by Rare either but instead Double Helix / Iron Galaxy.

It wasn't aimed at you, sorry if it looked like that.

I'm not native to English, but even in portuguese the "seems like" "looks like", etc equivalents aren't reduced to just seeing or sight. They have exactly the same purpouse you used of figuratively "seems like" being "from what I've experienced this situation is similar to this another so I induce this...."

The person you replied to have used 3 or more times the argument I don't speak english as native language to avoid a point or mock me (funny enough every other user, native or not, understood the point perfectly).
