Boutique publisher Retro-Bit Gaming has posted an image on Twitter teasing a Battletoads 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.
