Ok, so it's day 4, but I decided not to wait till the last minute to do something...something I'm quite guilty of actually. Anyway, DiC's version of RARE's Battletoads characters.

PSYCHOTRONIC! COSMORIFFIC!

So, there was only one episode...a pilot to be exact, written by David Wise, whom nerds like me know as the guy that wrote a lot of the Fred Wolf Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoons in the late 80's and Batman The Animated Series, and if I'm correct, is still writing cartoons today. DiC's version was pretty campy. I'm not saying the game wasn't, cause it was, unless you're talking about the Super Battletoads Arcade game, which is quite bloody and violent, but the show just couldn't stand up against the Turtles. They were just too popular. The cartoon also changed a few things as well. The kids had their original names from the game, and even the toad forms names were kept, but, they made them high school students, not game testers...take that back. They were high school students obsessed with video games. Professor T-Bird sounded like I'd always imagined him to, as did Princess Angelica and the Dark Queen. I think if someone tried to do it again, it'd be pretty successful. I also think that the calls to Gamestop and such would start all over again about pre-ordering a copy of Battletoads for the Wii, with a complimentary Wii strap, lol.

LET'S GET WARTY!!!!
