Nintentunes is back! Let’s start with the Rare classic Battletoads

Infendo Presents: Nintentunes

Back in the day, I had an Infendo series of sorts dubbed Nintentunes, where games were featured that had excellent music. Well let’s oil up the gears on the old Infendo company blog generator and see what pops out.

This weeks featured game is Battletoads for NES, the Rare classic…well maybe classic is too strong a term. I mean it controlled well enough, it was just so brutal!

Honestly, the main draw for the game is the music, which is excellent. Battletoads was composed by Rare veteran David Wise, whom by the time of the original release of the game, had already proven himself and was accomplished and well regarded within the industry. All I know is that every time I boot up the game, the title music makes me smile

Too bad that smile is so short lived…

Yeah, in all honesty, the only way I was able to make it to this level of the game was to use a Game Genie. No joke. Well that is before Rare Replay was released that is as the Xbox One title features a rewind mode. So close to beating it too!

What do you think!? Did you enjoy the resurrection of the dead Nintentunes? How can we make it better?
