Battletoads and Double Dragon: The Ultimate Team is a beat 'em up developed by Rare, published by Tradewest, and was released for the NES, Gameboy SNES, and Genesis. It was the first cross-over game made by Rare to feature characters from both Battletoads and the Double Dragon series. Double Dragon was developed by Technos. Tradewest, at that time, had the rights to the Double Dragon series and gave Rare rights to integrate them into one of their own games. Technos had little to no involvement in actually creating the game.
Plot
(Summarized from the SNES manual)
The Battletoads, having recently defeated the evil Dark Queen, have gone into relaxation. Monthes have passed, and suddenly an energy beam shoots down to Earth, rendering all miltary-aid useless. From that point, a spaceship called the Colossus, which is the size of a city, breaks out of the moon. Professer T. Bird worries come true that it is the Dark Queen doing all this mayham, but she is not alone. The evil Queen has teamed up with the Shadow Boss to take down Earth. On the way to the space ship, the 'Toads pick up Billy and Jimmy Lee in the Battlecopter to get things even (as two different bosses and many more henchmen are too much for the Battletoads). With that, the ultimate team of Battletoads and Double Dragons head off to defeat the Dark Queen and Shadow Boss.
Facts
BT&DD is a sidescroller, featuring five playable characters: Battletoads from Rare's previous games (Zitz, Rash, and Pimple) and Techno's Double Dragon protagonists Billy Lee and Jimmy Lee. The Super Nintendo and Genesis versions of the game are nearly identical; the only difference being graphic and sound quality. The Gameboy and NES incarnations are also virtually the same. However, the Gameboy edition of the game only supports single player (as no link functionality exists).
