I'd sooner trust a remake or new installment for a series like this in the hands of Nintendo over MS, but time will tell what, if anything, they do with it.
Blumpkin:
Probably a Kinect game. ::)
Megatron:
Well, the MS-Rare remakes don't have the best track record.
However, Conker: Live & Reloaded was pretty damn good, and (I think) an upgrade to the original....but for every positive example there is a Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts, or Perfect Dark Zero. I can't see this as a disc release, though. More likely Xbox Live. But eh, we'll see.

Looking over it, the announcement doesn't say anything about Rare making it... and I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing. Rares more recent work has been less than impressive, but who are they going to give it to? Microsoft doesn't really have a partner that seems like a good fit for Battletoads.

I loved nuts and bolts. Sure, it wasn't a traditional platformer, but boy was it fun building those vehicles. I never understood why it go like zero love :(
