Battletoads come in like a wrecking ball for Killer Instinct on Xbox One

By
The classic Battletoads franchise made an unexpected appearance at Gamescom today, as Microsoft announced that mutant amphibian star Rash is now a playable character in Double Helix’s Xbox One fighter Killer Instinct.

Rash serves as a playable preview for Killer Instinct‘s upcoming third season of content, launching in March next year for Xbox One and Windows 10.

Rash is downloadable for Xbox One owners who have purchased any previously released paid DLC for Killer Instinct. Players who own the recently released retro compilation Rare Replay can also unlock Rash by completing the game’s “Do You Have Battletoads?” achievement, detailed here.

Rash joins the Killer Instinct cast with an array of signature moves previously seen in 1991’s Battletoads for the 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System. As in the previous Battletoads games, Rash’s limbs grow to enormous size when performing classic moves like the Big Bad Boot, Wrecking Ball, and Battering Ram within Killer Instinct.

Players can also use Rash’s tongue to snatch and devour projectiles from mid-air. Rash’s Instinct Mode special move pays tribute to Battletoads‘ infamous Turbo Tunnel sequence, equipping players with a hoverbike that they can ram into opponents.

Microsoft notes that the currently available version of Rash is a work-in-progress, and warns that his appearance, animations and moves may evolve drastically by the time Killer Instinct‘s third season launches in 2016.

Microsoft announced at E3 earlier this year that Killer Instinct will launch for Windows 10 as a free-to-play title that enables cross-platform competitive multiplayer with opponents playing the Xbox One edition. The Windows 10 port is compatible with all Killer Instinct controllers and fightsticks, and returning players will retain their purchases and unlocks earned in the Xbox One version.

Rash’s Killer Instinct appearance is the latest in a string of announcements hinting at a forthcoming Battletoads series revival. Two never previously ported Battletoads games are now playable on the Xbox One with this month’s launch of Rare Replay, and a recently issued Xbox One port of indie platformer Shovel Knight includes a bonus level featuring the Battletoads characters.

Rash is available as a downloadable Killer Instinct character until September 8.

Xbox is shuttering its Avatars, but you still have time to customize yours

Remember your Xbox Avatar? Well, your ability to change them up is going away soon. Xbox quietly announced that it's shutting down the Xbox Avatar Editor early next year, and therefore, basically all Xbox Avatar functionality.

Microsoft wrote on an Xbox Support page (spotted by Pure Xbox) that it's sunsetting the app, which let you create and customize an avatar with items you could buy in the Xbox Store, on January 9, 2025, due to "low engagement" and the need to shift its priorities to other projects.

Warcraft Remastered is a trip through history that never was, and always will be
An orc and human battle in Warcraft Remastered art.

I played Warcraft II for the first time at a friend’s house, on LAN multiplayer. I didn’t know what Warcraft was; I didn’t even have much experience with the best real-time strategy games. I’d grow to love games like Age of Empires II and Starcraft, but at that point, I didn’t know what I was doing. I chose Orcs because they looked cool, had dragons (dragons were also cool), and probably lost all the games we played. I didn’t think about it again, until years later, my World of Warcraft-obsessed friends, convinced me to play that. I picked a mage because the one in the opening cinematic fighting an Infernal was, again, cool, and the rest is history.

I came to love Warcraft III after the fact because those same friends wouldn’t shut up about it. I bought a Battle Chest and everything. I still have it. And when I went back to Warcraft and Warcraft II out of curiosity, several years later, I remembered that I had seen all of this before. It was like watching a movie on TV, and then going back, years later, and watching all the sequels out of order.
