Publisher Retro-Bit is teasing a Battletoads announcement

destructoid.com:

Boutique publisher Retro-Bit Gaming has posted an image on Twitter teasing an announcement for tomorrow, April 19 — While the image does not explicitly name any franchise in question, it seems to quite clearly point to Rare’s goofy brawler series Battletoads, and in particular classic crossover title Battletoads/Double Dragon.

The image, which you can check out for yourself in the tweet below, features the shades of scaly scrapper Rash and the belt of Pimple, also accompanied by a set of brass knuckles and a pair of nunchucks. A simple message reads “Get Ready for Double Trouble”, along with branding from both Microsoft and Arc System Works, the latter of which currently owns the Kunio-kun and Double Dragon license.

What form will this new endeavor take? We’ll have to wait and see, though Retro-Bit Gaming is known for its merchandising, soundtracks, hardware, and classic game re-releases. The teaser was also retweeted by Limited Run Games, so all signs point to a physical release of something — be it a fresh pressing of the 1993 NES, SNES, Game Boy, and Sega Mega Drive releases of Battletoads/Double Dragon, or merely merchandise based on the old-school brawling franchise.

Either way, stay tuned, as we’ll be sure to keep you updated right here on Destructoid.
