Is This Battletoads

That's right, with a simple printer, paper and a little creativity you can fool a highly trained Gamestop employee!

Battletoads, Combat Frogs, Conflict Amphibians, War Tadpoles, Internecine Anurans, etc. is one of the most awesome games ever created. It's a rival to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games. The first game was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1991 and then ported to the Amiga in 1992, Sega Mega Drive/Genesis in 1993, Sega Game Gear in 1993, and Amiga CD32 in 1994.

This meme/troll started on 4chan after a VG screenshot contest, the "Is this Battletoads?" phenomenon is now a modern classic and appears whenever someone requests a game title, information or screenshot. Another good use is to go to the most popular boards on GameFAQs and inquire whether or not the game in question is, in fact, Battletoads.

The correct answer to the question is: "No, it's Doom III", whatever the game is.

The game itself

Battletoads is known as one of the hardest video games in history, and it's also surprisingly good, assuming you don't go batshit insane trying (and failing) to beat it, chances are that you will quit within the first 2-3 levels.

The story, in essence, is that a leather-clad whore called the Dark Queen captures one of the *Battletoads, Pimple, and the princess, probably to rape them. The Battletoads' pedophile leader, Coach, tells the other two, Rash and Zitz, to rescue them. And the Battletoads, being the Conflict Amphibians they are, do so.

Rebirth of an old meme

Even though Women suck at video games altogether, they still dig the Battletoads.

“	STOP CALLING MY FUCKING STORE	„
—Random GameStop Employee

Suddenly, on the 12th, 13th and 14th of November ~~2008~~ 2007, Anonymous decided to prank call Gamestop, asking for Battletoads preorders. /b/lackup was formed in the name of the lulz and lots of prank calls were made. Moar than 40 GameStop stores were targeted, some stores received calls all day. At first, some stores were friendly and explained that they don't have it. After a few hours they got really pissed. Some employees called Anon very bad things, things you can't say on Faux News. Other employees thought this was funny, and joked about Battletoads.

A few weeks after the beginning of the raid, according to Anonymous spies, a Gamestop conference call announced that all Battletoads calls should be handled politely. 4chan was also mentioned. /b/tards were called "a hazardous group of people on the internet" and theorized to be attempting to take over gamestop.

Best video game of 2007

Over 9,000 readers of Kerrang have decided that Battletoads was the best video game of 2007, many of whom were also avid participants of the 4chan /b/ board. Lot's of people voted, but the boards got shut down since people also mass voted for some other girl as the sexiest female. The winner was supposed to get its name into Kerrang's December 2007 issue as the best video game.

Update! BestActEVER.com is currently using an autovoter for the 2008 issue which includes votes for Battletoads as the THE BEST video game.

Livejournal is on the case

Sometime last thursday, LJ user slaneyder failed to lurk moar and made a post in the community customers_suck, whining about the people calling and asking for Battletoads. Lulz ensued when several Livejournal faggots hopped onto the /b/tard bandwagon, under the assumption that being a /b/tard makes you cool.

See the full thread! - Featuring an old friend: Merle Whitefire, survivor of the First Feminazi War.

Also in the customers_suck comm, known furry defconn1 made a post about how a customer had called them upset because one of his co-workers had apparently given the customer's son a case for a Wii version of Battletoads. Obviously, as no such product actually exists, customer Jr was understandably heartbroken. "It's sad that some people are so bored they can only think of destructive things to do."

The new Battletoad games are being released

At the end of June 2008, the pre-ordered Battletoads games was still not in stores. Since the developement of the Battletoads games for the Wii and Xbox 360 took some time, Anonymous decided to release the game himself. Covers, flyers and other kinds of game art was made. The plan this time was to sneak fake covers into GameStop stores.

Not so obvious memes were added to the covers, The plan was simple, fucking with GameStop employees as usual.

Richard is a Gamestop employee that on 12/07/08 was on the verge of becoming a meme. He was asked about Battletoads nearly to the point of becoming an hero.

His fellow employee Eric picked up where he left off, while he was on "lunch break", though it is more likely that he was bleeding in a corner. Eric was a fellow /b/tard and had a taste for mudkipz.
