Rare Replayed returns with our most retro episode to date, taking you back to the '90s for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. No, wait - Battletoads.
We're joined by former Rare artist and new Playtonic recruit Kev Bayliss to discuss one of the iconic British developers' earliest hits and the start of one of its most fondly remembered franchises: the original Battletoads for NES.
During our discussion, Bayliss reveals more about the studio's ambitious, then-unprecedented plans to build a multimedia franchise, and the design decisions behind the title's challenging gameplay.
Toads out!
