5 Years With the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

[@darianflewellen2449]

I always felt TMNT 3 Manhattan Project was underrated for it's time. Loved that game

[@ultrairrelevantnobody1862]

Easily my favourite NES Turtles game. It sucks it never came out in the UK.

[@persona83]

Probably because the 16 bit consoles were already at full force when TMNT 3 came out.

[@xtlm]

I had this and it was indeed a blast.

[@Thor-Orion]

It’s the best of the NES Trilogy in my opinion.

[@sonicmario64]

I've actually played "TMNT: The Hyperstone Heist" on the Sega Genesis before I was able to play "TMNT IV: Turtles In Time" on the SNES shortly afterwards, and I totally agree that both 16-bit TMNT games are excellent must-play titles. :)

[@Stephen_Eee]

I feel bad for all the youth born after like 90 or so...being a kid in the 80s and 90s was a one off experience, the amount of stuff made and sold to us was perfected, Saturday morning cartoons, The Absolute Perfection of breakfast cereal, seems like it kind of sucks being a kid today, but I have no clue.

[@Planag7]

You are blinded my nostalgia half of these games most people wouldn't even heard of other than rumors and game magazines and the other time your parents couldn't get them or for them considering they sold for way over MSRP. It's not a good time for me to remember. But I lived through it

[@SegaLordX]

Seeing the stuff my daughter was exposed to, I made it my mission to raise her on 80's/90's content.

[@ChaoticHoly]

@@Planag7 Ha. You made a funny. I dare you to find a gamer in the 80's/90's who didn't have a subscription to Nintendo Power, EGM, and/or GamePro. I dare you to find a video rental store that didn't also rent video games. I dare you to find a decent-sized town without an arcade, or a pizza parlor/family restaurant/grocery store/corner market without at least one arcade game. Everyone who cared to know knew what was out and what was going to be out. As far as selling "way over MSRP"...where the heck were you shopping? Even stores like Toys R Us only had a $5 "TRU-Tax", certainly not "way over MSRP". You may want to take off your shit-tinted glasses, because that time was a great time for gaming - even with some games just plain being bad (which were easy to avoid if you remembered to rent before buying).

[@Planag7]

@@ChaoticHoly I didn't have any of those you know what I had occasionally a Sega magazine but please keep telling me how easy it was to find games of somebody in my position. Oh wait could it be that not your experience could be different from other people hey and trust me I had a rich friend who actually was the only person I knew of who actually owned a Neo Geo AES, and one of the few people who would freak out with me when we found out that Sonic 3 was incomplete (yeah we got lock on technology but still we were promised twice as big as Sonic 2!) Yeah I remember those weird Nickelodeon shows but yeah one was made by a pedophile and the other one was made by a known pervert so cool?!?

[@SegaLordX]

I had no idea. Nice.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

Yeah I've heard that. It's pretty funny really. Imagine the main antagonist of a long-running series being killed off in the very first couple episodes. Wow.

[@nicks4802]

That part about your sister bringing you a game and asking to play it brought a tear to my eye. It took me back to when I’d bring games to my older brother and ask him to play with me. Nothing bonds siblings like fighting alongside eachother. My brother had my back, and i had his.

[@thecunninlynguist]

my childhood right here. Absolutely LOVED playing the arcade game with buddies and/or strangers. Then when Turtles in Time landed on the SNES, oh man! The only actual turtle game I had was the first Game Boy one, and I had loads of fun with it!

[@SegaLordX]

Yup. Those GB games were great at the time.

[@chumorgan443]

I never got to experience Arcade "T.in.T" until MAME made it possible. ( Our local arcade sucked). But in hindsight I hadn't missed out. The SNES port is far better than i would have thought possible.

[@thecunninlynguist]

@@chumorgan443 same here. I only saw the Turtles in Tme cabinet after playing the SNES version

[@mikejenkins4924]

Yeah, man. I was 10 years old when that landed in my local arcade, which I could literally see from my house. Me and my mates were all over that. Great times.

[@thecowboy2]

2 things of interest here. 1. The bosses of the 2 new levels of the TMNT arcade game home version, Tora and Shogun, were designed by Kevin Eastman specifically for that home release. 2. In The Hyperstone Heist, the boss of Level 3, Tatsu, was Shredder's right hand man in the first 2 live action TMNT films and the only new asset added to the game.

[@EdwinTheGreat337]

The SNES days were the best days of my gaming life.Super Mario World.We played for 3 months. We could not afford to buy games so just rent them. Luckily we got to Turtles in time. We played to 12 midnight and woke up like 6 in the morning.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

The rental days were the best. Sure you had to try to force yourself to finish a game in a weekend or less sometimes but it was an incredible experience nonetheless.

[@jediknightgeo]

I loved Hyperstone Heist. Many people have the misconception that it's a "watered down" Turtles In Time which honestly couldn't be further from the truth. The perfect summary of it is that it's a remixed & combined amalgamation of TMNT '89 & Turtles In Time, with some new content, that's wrapped around a new story. People also say it's shorter than Time but that also is false. It has less levels (5 compared to the 10 in Time) but the levels in Hyperstone are MUCH longer and have multiple section in each. When beating both games they take just about the same time to finish. My only real beefs with Hyperstone were the bosses as it was honestly a pretty paltry amount of them (Leatherhead, Rocksteady, Tatsu, Baxter Stockman, Krang & Super Shredder). What made it worse was the fact that stage 4, The Gauntlet, repeated the boss battles of Leatherhead, Rocksteady & Tatsu making it feel like a bit of a cop out. They should have included different bosses here like Dirtbag, Bebop (how and why he was omitted altogether from the game is BAFFLING), Metalhead, Rat King, Groundchuck, etc. They could and should have added any of those enemies during this stage to fight on the way to the Technodrome. Speaking of stage 4 it being in another cave like stage 2, just a different color, felt pretty cheap. Other than those 2 personal negatives I enjoy it a lot.

[@ultrairrelevantnobody1862]

Kudos to Hyperstone Heist for having a run button separate from the attack buttons.

[@juststatedtheobvious9633]

jediknightgeo Yeah, the levels are much longer...but just means it's a repetitive slog through some of the most generic levels the series has ever seen. The few advantages it had over the SNES version, just makes you wish they'd given us an upgraded port instead.

[@jediknightgeo]

@@juststatedtheobvious9633 Generic will depend on each individual, still doesn't negate the fact that while the game has less levels it and Time both take about the same amount of time to complete.

[@ultrairrelevantnobody1862]

@Just Stated The Obvious Multiple sections in a level doesn't sound like a repetitive slog. That and most beat 'em up games are very repetitive at their core. The only ones I really liked were the Streets of Rage games.

[@juststatedtheobvious9633]

@@ultrairrelevantnobody1862 It's a very limited moveset, and the enemy variety is low even by beat-em up standards. In the Nintendo games, the short length of the levels is about the right length for some quick arcade thrills. But the Genesis title feels like experience grinding, minus the reward.

[@melvinshine9841]

TMNT will always hold a special place to me. The Turtles, literally, played a part in me learning colors. Leo's part of the reason blue is my favorite color and I probably had at least 12 different Leonardo toys. You had to been a kid at the time to understand how huge TMNT was at the time. From my experience as a prepubescent kid, the only things I can think of that were bigger than TMNT were Power Rangers and Pokemon. Stopped really caring about Power Rangers a long time ago, but Pokemon has partial ownership of my soul.

These games were such a big deal at the time, and are just about all a blast to play even now. The first NES game is still a fun challenge, and the NES port of the arcade still feels pretty good. Several years ago, I bought the 4 player pcb for the 1989 arcade game to swap in and out of my Sunset Riders cabinet, and getting friends together to play it again just feels so good. I never bought a Turtles in Time board, though. The SNES version has always been the version for me, likely because I played it first and prefer its new features. Great again, as is your norm.

The first video game I ever really played with my 5 year old daughter was the arcade beat-em-up Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon (on MAME). She doesn't know what the Ninja Turtles, Simpsons, or X-Men are, so Sailor Moon was the IP to actually get her to want to try. She's gotten quite good at it. Beat-em-ups are a great entry genre for kids just getting started. When her little sister is big enough to play, maybe we'll try some 3 player Ninja Turtles (Sailor Moon, despite having 5 selectable characters, is only 2 players).

[@ravagingwolverine]

That's cool that the IP got her to try an arcade game of that sort. And it's an excellent beat-em-up game as well. Sailor Moon is good fun for everyone, as long as they like beat-em-ups.

[@mscottjohnson3424]

@@ravagingwolverine I enjoy it too. It's not as good as the TMNT games, but it has pretty good graphics, sound, gameplay, and enemy variety. I got her to try the two Super Famicom Sailor Moon beat-em-ups, but she immediately realized the drop in quality. From there, I got her to play the Sailor Moon Super S one-on-one fighting game on Super Famicom and she really liked it. From there I got her to play Street Fighter II, which she enjoyed. Her favorite fighting game now is Pocket Fighter on the Saturn. It's a good beginner 2D fighter for kids with more female than male fighters if you have a daughter and that's important to her.

I love how every Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game for every console (NES, Super NES, Sega Genesis, and Game Boy) back then is its own unique game and not a port of one another. Even the 3 fighting games were not direct port of one another and had no arcade counterpart to compare to solving the issue of asking for an arcade accurate port as there isn't one.

[@nomanland645]

Even the 2nd Nintendo game threw in two unique new levels and boss battles to help extend the game.

[@MikeC-ps1tc]

There is no doubt that there is a ton of memories to be had here from the wicked Cartoon show, the awesome TMNT movie, although I thought 2 was a bit better in terms of goofiness/seriousness, 3 can be forgotten! TMNT arcade was my first exposure due to living behind an arcade as a kid. I did have TMNT the arcade game on the NES first. Then the original TMNT, only making it to the first area or 2 past the DAM (the game is a cheat... lol). I really liked TMNT 3 Manhatten Project a ton, a mix of new moves and areas were nice! The Game Boy version of TMNT was pretty darn good for what it was from what I remember. I never did play it on the Genesis for some unknown reason. SNES was a ton of fun to play at a friends house. Overall through the experience the Cartoon is where it was at, so well done, lots of action and I was able to catch it just as it started when I got home from school!!! SLX You Da Man!!!!!

Hyperstone Heist was fun too for being something different compared to the two arcade games. I do remember SNES tourmanent fighters being fun, even if it couldn't dethrone SF2! For the most part Konami knew their stuff when it came to TMNT home games!

[@HybridAngelZero]

I was really, really little at the time, but I do remember the very tail end of turtle mania in the 90s, and while I wouldn't play any of the NES games until the 2000s, Tournament Fighters on the Genesis had a big influence on me. Maybe not the gameplay (I didn't know enough about fighting games at the time to know it wasn't all that great) but the art, music and visual design were something I had never seen before. They were bizarre, creepy and beautiful. Another big thing was the final boss of the game (spoilers coming) Karai. She was stronger than Triceraton or even Kraang in his power suit, and the idea that a human martial artist could surpass aliens or technology was something you rarely saw in western media. It was awesome

[@Choralone422]

I still remember playing the TMNT Arcade Game from start to finish at a school sponsored roller skating party back then. Me and 3 other guys all crowded around the arcade machine located less than 20 feet from the rink floor and played the game from start to finish one night. We paid no attention to the DJ & the booming music that was being played at the rink. All we heard was the the sounds coming from that arcade cabinet until we had completed the game.

Original NES TMNT story: Similar to your friend that was good at it. I only had 2 games for my NES when I first got it, and the first TMNT game was one of them. Of course I played the hell out of it and beat it. Fast forward 15 years and my buddy has a working NES and they're talking about how hard games were and how none of them could get past the Damn. I hadn't played the game in many, many years and we were all drinking and I'm like, "sure, I can do this." And I made it past the damn to level 3. Even now, it's ingrained and if I load it up on an emulator I can still make it to the Sewers. (Level 4 I believe.) I also did that with Megaman 2, "This game is super hard, bet you can't beat it!" A few vodkas later I beat it in one sitting on hard mode. Some of those things really stick with you.

When they burned out they burned out hard but it's amazing that it only took about 7 years for them to come back as if nothing had really changed. Sadly the games are never quite as good as the heyday with Konami but this next one certainly feels like a throwback to a much better time for TMNT.

I wouldn’t say they burned out hard. The comic never really went away just changed hands while the creators took hiatus or went onto bigger and better things in Eastman’s case (publisher of Heavy Metal magazine, his life long dream). The only reason the cartoon left the air in 96 was CBS decided it was removing programming they deemed not educational. Ratings were fine. They came back briefly as a Saban show before suffering several false starts including a failed pilot from Rainbow, a film stuck in development hell and a Hallmark miniseries that never materialized. The ideas from the latter went into the 4kids series.

@@pungisotu I always have to remind people though it wasn't really produced by 4kids, it was on a programming block run by them but not directly produced by them.

As someone who was born in 1979 and experienced both the 80's and the 90's, outside of the first TMNT movie which I loved and the Mirage and Archie comics which i collected, I hated the 80's cartoon, and I feel the best interpretation of the Turtles actually came in 2003. So to say I disagree with you is an understatement.

1. Is it me or is just that I realize that sometimes things go successful when you shift the tone from dark to light and it becomes successful? The same also happened to one of the 90s shows in Japan's case. 2. The main thing from the arcade intro in both games is the impression as to how they were able to fit the opening theme into the TMNT arcade games that got me hooked up.

Did Tournament fighters started the trend of beat'em up turned into fighting games? Around the same time we had the Neo Geo Double Dragon game and Golden Axe the duel.

[@shiningphantasy1393]

The first turtles NES game is still the one that I like the best on that platform; the difficulty was too much for me though as I could not make it past area 3 before running out of resources. The subsequent NES arcade port was not at all a bad effort however it did not capture the intensity and action of the arcade and became pretty boring quickly. All beat-em-ups can become repetitive but with the arcade version and the visual pop and game-play wow factor for its time is what kept it stimulating. Genesis and SNES iterations of the second arcade game were both very commendable, while being mostly similar each game is worth playing for their differences.

Excellent content as always. Watched this video with my 6yr old son who had loads of questions for me. Lots of nostalgia and now we're going to play the arcade version. Have you invested in an Arcade 1up cabs?

[@Dredd_UK]

This brings back some great memories. Thank you for the great video also you are so close to 100k subs congrats.

[@raymondgillespie]

What a great video - I really enjoyed it. I also completely agree about the second Gameboy game - those weird sprites and animations were so strange! Not a bad game though, overall.

[@pokepress]

I hope Konami can work out a deal with Nickelodeon and release a collection like they did with Contra and Castlevania.

[@robbvanderstoel7725]

Hey Konami, remember the Castlevania collection and Contra collection? Time for the TMNT collection! Any licensing costs you’re afraid of will almost certainly be made up for in sheer sales numbers.

[@jkemp6791]

This guy gets it. Make it happen, Konami!

[@the-NightStar]

Licensing doesn't just happen by throwing money at something. Both parties also have to agree to terms, and frankly this cannot happen, as the Turtles are now owned by Viacom, and they do not do business with Konami. Viacom has their own video game devisions and publishers they work with and approve and they are no longer one of them. It won't happen becuase it can't happen. Money is far from being a deciding factor.

I remember finiching the game Turtles in Time on the Super Nintendo, on the highest difficulty with my best friend in coop mode. Good old memories.
