Reception
A retrospective article by Tony Ponce in Destructoid called it the most unique entry in the Battletoads series, also highlighting its level of mature content ("a precursor to the beloved brand of toilet humor that made Conker's Bad Fur Day a cult classic") and violence. Ponce criticised the game's gameplay formula as less varied than in its predecessors, but added: "But then I remember that this is motherfuckin' Battletoads in the motherfuckin' arcade and everything is all right again." HonestGamers called the game "exactly what the franchise should have been from the beginning", rating it 8/10 ("excellent").

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
