Did you know that there's still time to pre-order your version of Battletoads & Double Dragon on the Nintendo Entertainment System? It's true, Retro-Bit's newest must-own reproduction cartridge can still be yours, assuming you reserve your copy before May 22nd. With only a few days left, I thought it might be fun to take a few minutes and see what the critics thought of the games starring the Battletoads and Double Dragon when they first came out.

In case you're wondering, Electronic Gaming Monthly reviewed a total of 17 games from these two franchises between 1989 and 2009. As you would imagine, that includes a whole bunch of ports of the original Battletoads and Double Dragon games, as well as a myriad of sequels and prequels. Today we're going to countdown the best and worst games from these two series using EGM's own words and review scores. There's no editorializing here, we're going to focus on what the critics said back in the day. Join me as we see how Electronic Gaming Monthly ranked the Battletoads and Double Dragon franchises.
