I think I found proof for a new Battletoads

Try: jet force gemini rare.co.uk
It's more related to the popularity of recent searches. Nobody really knows how Google's algorithm works.
And no, you cannot type in any title. It has to be a previously released Rare game. And as said before, that "trick" has been known for years and you can find all of those non-existing game pages via Google. Some are ranking higher, others lower.

Can't wait to hit my partner on accident so many times and then crash into walls on speeder bikes. Epic.
Exact same thing as the previous poster did. 404 pages lead to the main website, you can put anything at the end of the link in their games section; /games/goldeneye-3000 or /games/buttcream-corps, it all works.
But if you search explicitely for the website of those games like I did you won't find a link to Rare's website.
I expect Battletoads to happen and will eat crow if it won't.

They might, but probably not in a new game.It'd be nice though if we could play all those classic rareware games again in some sort of collection. (^_-)
I agree with the first half of your statement, but the second half is in contradiction with it.
There's every chance that neoRare will come up with a decent Battletoads title that I'll want to play, because it will be nothing like the old games. They should stay far away from most of Rare's other IP, which I actually have fond memories of.
Yes, but that does not happen with /games/battletoads, /games/donkey-kong-country, games/killer-instinct or other old titles. They have their own fake game pages.
I don't get forwarded to any website if I access those pages via Google or change the link in the browser.
You will find it for all old Rare games. Try "blast corps rare.co.uk" or "jet force gemini rare.co.uk".
Might still happen, but I cannot see how you find evidence in something that's been there since 2010.

Some of the BT games are not so good, but many of them are pure classics, nostalgia or not. I think it's wonderful news for a game franchise deserving a second chance.
If there are still any doubts, check Archive.org from 2013:

You know you best not fuck with GAF right? Been a while since we've had a good classic games comp.
Great! We can put this horrific thought behind us now, and focus on Banjo Threeie!
I would still buy a new Battletoads tho

I disagree. conker and banjo are way over hyped outdated platformers that have trouble appealing to todays crowd. With the right game they could make a comeback, but both have tried once. It's time for something different. Different IP or even better NEW IP.
I could care less about yooka laylee, ( no offense but a banjo clone is not the kind of platformer i would want today. ).

I think it was already pretty well known that a Battletoads was coming. All those hints over the past year already showed that. Phil Spencer was even wearing a Battletoads shirt at that Windows 10 event.
There is no doubt in my mind that something is happening with Battletoads, no matter what anybody says.

What would a modern day Battletoads be? 3D Beat-em up?

If you honestly do have some information it'd be awesome to hear it. Please do tell.
