The arcade Battletoads (sometimes called Super Battletoads, but no it isn't Battlemaniacs on the SNES) was freakin' sweet. It also has sadly never seen a console release, so well - Microsoft, if Rare is making a new one - would be nice to have that on the market place... Ok, the last level sucked, and it didn't have a speed bike mission (would be nice to see this return but as something actually fun) but other than that it was a great co-op game.
The first Battletoads was also a fine game (single player) even if you really did have to sink some hours into it to get anywhere. It was a game you had to learn (like R-Type) over one you had to actually be good at. And it looked gorgeous.
As long as the pause music from the NES one returns - I'd be hopeful.
Oh and over-the-top violence like Zitz turning his hand into a drill and destroy some people's faces.

And grabbing some dude's nuts and punching them, repeatedly - until they die.

And chainsaw kicking people's heads off.
Make it happen Rare. Make it happen...
