Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Arcade vs NES - Game vs Game

[@TheDaliPopka]

I'll never forget when I got the NES version: I was getting out of school, my mom picked me up and asked if I wanted pizza for dinner, i said sure but why, then she handed me the game and said "to go along with this!" Great times, great game. Oh, and great video! :)

[@GamevsGame]

that's an amazing thing to have come out of school to! i only remember getting a handful of the NES games i did, and none with as awesome a story as that! thanks Jay!

[@TheDaliPopka]

:D Thanks!

[@TekMoliGy]

that would be an awesome surprise. I got it along with a big majority of my nes games when my dad bought the console and about 20 games and a bunch of old nintendo powers from a garage sale when i was 4. The rest of my games i got slowly as i would ask my mom for 5 dollars to go buy an nes game (i wish they were still that cheap) from the local pawn shop once a month or so.

[@GiantMoth]

With the upcoming Cowabunga Collection apparently having both the arcade and the NES versions of this game in it this was pretty good information.

[@andywolan]

I remember getting this game for Xmas from "Child World." I felt Konami did a great job working within the nes' limitations to make a faithful port. I still feel that way today.

[@Dirgenudel]

not a port, but i know what you mean

[@LorenHelgeson]

Once upon a time, Konami gave a shit. They really were one of the best developers/publishers out there.

[@GamevsGame]

they really really were, growing up i always knew looking at a Konami or Capcom NES or SNES game that i was in for a treat.

[@LorenHelgeson]

Even their Ultra Games label, which was slightly unpolished by comparison, had a certain quality to it. Games like Gyruss, Metal Gear, and the topic of this video. I really need to pick up a copy of TMNT 2 off eBay or somewhere else and give it another shot.

[@Video-Games-Are-Fun]

i liked skate or die as well. lotsa fun with friends in 1989

[@Slaytanica666]

The arcade version was by far superior. Everything about it. I used to go to the arcade every weekend to play it. I had the NES version and nothing against it, I loved it, it just didn't have the arcade feel to me. The music and everything was better on the arcade cabinet.

[@RabbitConfirmed]

The Arcade version is just better

[@franksmith613]

The only thing that makes the NES verson better are the extra levels.

[@autodidacticprofessor869]

Well, Konami had custom 16-bit hardware, no ROM size limit and it's own sound DSP chips, so obviously it's going to be superior.

[@jove1155]

The main thing with NES was the hit detection. Compared to arcade, it took longer to be able to hit an enemy in the NES. Drove me nuts, this is supposed to be a button masher!

[@chickenalaking1319]

There’s nothing like it, when a ton of Foot Soldiers flood the screen in the arcade.

[@Dirgenudel]

I truly prefer the arcade version, but the nes version had tons more levels, much longer game, glad i have both!

[@Dongled]

Oh wow, I had no idea Kevin Eastman created those two additional bosses! Also had no idea that the game is actually a sequel to the movie.I learned so much! :D Anyways, about the music, i'd imagine it was tough to convert FM style music to NES chip, but Konami were engineering masters when it came to music. MAKE KONAMI GREAT AGAIN.

[@GamevsGame]

yeah the sequel to the movie business is just kind of... weird haha. just trying to cash in on the movie's success for sure. i really do love the NES era Konami sound, the Contra's, Castlevania's, Turtles, Life Force, hell yeah.

[@jayNicks10]

I like everything you said there, except the last part, I agree that it has to happen, but it just makes me think of that shit face Donald Trump.

[@FreeOpenTruth]

It is NOT a sequel to the movie!!! Its a sequel to the 1987 TV Cartoon show!

[@pferreira1983]

@@GamevsGame Ah yes LifeForce and Mathilda May...

[@freakyfornash]

If the game was an actual sequel to the movie, than where does that leave Ninja Turtles II: The Secret Of The Ooze though? That would make no sense if so too, since this game, nor the movies were never referenced to each-other at all either.

[@andrewzapata3427]

A new option being the arcade1up machine for about $400

Great video! Love the way you compared both games. The TMNT for the Arcade is one of the best games of all time for me.

The master of unlocking refernce was perfectly executed. Great video, as always.

Thank you so much for not crapping on the NES game for not being Arcade perfect. You were clearly knowledgable. Great job!

[@marccaselle8108]

Great video. 🙂. I appreciate the use of the goonies 2 password theme at the start of the video. I enjoyed the arcade turtles game and played at it every arcade I could find back in the late 80,s early 90s. When the NES version of turtles 2 came out, I bought it right away.. I also enjoyed my free personal pan pizza that I got via the coupon included with the game when it was brand new.

[@anniegonzalez5707]

Thanks for this episode yo. Was nostalgic and enlightening.

[@GamevsGame]

[@dimitrisbam1132]

If u didn't play it the time that it was released u can't know the feeling u had when u played the game on the nes!!! Today u expect everything on a condole...then it was unbelievable that I would play that game in my bedroom! Fantastic port with extra stages!!

[@stepheng8061]

This was the first game I ever loved they had the arcade at my dads college and my best friend had it on nes

[@SuperCrippledGamer]

Aw man, this was the THE game me and my bro played on our NES all the time. This video brings me baaack! :D

[@GamevsGame]

those are some of my fondest memories as well, playing coop with my brother, like Guerilla War, Rampage, the X-Wing games on PC, great times. awesome that you and your bro played this together.

[@SuperCrippledGamer]

We only had like 7 games growing up. It was mainly THIS game, SMB 3, and Punch Out that we played the most.

[@GamevsGame]

awesome, Super Punch-Out was a big one for us, he was always way better at it than me though. I could never beat the Bruisers at the end, he beat the whole damn thing with a perfect record.

[@KWKBOX]

I agree the NES version is truly a unique addition to the series and should be noticed. Well presented sir.

[@GamevsGame]

thanks very much, glad you enjoyed!

[@ricksanchez9899]

Strange that the best TMNT arcadegame wasn't either TMNT games but the arcade experience is TMNT : TOURNAMENT FIGHTERS , even though it was clearly not an arcadegame .

[@thejoe_snotbombsskateboarding]

[@freakyfornash]

That was from an early version of this game, which was never officially released up until the port on the T.M.N.T. Battle Nexus console games.

[@ExtraLivesMusic]

We DO love the music from this game since we started performing it. But holy cow, that is SO cool you could play the classic cabinet game via secret trick in TMNT2 Battle Nexus. Thanks for the tip!

[@joegoesretro]

My cousins had the NES version and we played the hell out of it when I was over. Especially when I got the Nintendo Power with the cheat codes (I still remember the 10 lives & stage select code!) That's what I think of most when I think of that game. A pure nostalgic memory. Same story with Mega Man 2. I'm one of the lucky ones who managed to get the Xbox Live version when it was available. I'll probably never get rid of my 360 for that reason.

[@GamevsGame]

nice :) i loved messing with the codes from Nintendo Power, just added to the allure of each game that there were ways to change the rules of the game. this is one I actually still use the code on, Krang and Shredder just wreck me. even with the 10 lives, i was down to 3 i think when i finally kicked Shredder's face in.

[@joegoesretro]

That's exactly how I felt about it. I'd see some secrets or a walkthrough in Nintendo Power and sometimes it made me want to play a game that I might not have even considered.

[@Imgema]

"Original Arcade not available". If Konami delisted it and doesn't care to sell it, you can always play it on MAME like most people do for decades now. Konami doesn't care in general anyway anymore.

[@GamevsGame]

true, MAME is an easy option for most everyone. i generally don't enjoy gaming on my computer anymore so if there's a console option, i'll take it. thought it would be interesting to talk about in the video.

[@Imgema]

I also didn't enjoy playing emulators on a PC in the past but now there are many great options like RetroArch that also emulate CRT TVs using a lot of great shaders. You can also use it for couch gaming if you don't like sitting on a desk. You can also pair it with Hypespin for all the media goodness you can get. The Homebrew emulation scene has gone places. But yeah, i still plug in my console every now and then for the nostalgia feel, although that doesn't last more than a few minutes.

[@paxhumana2015]

We can always buy out Konami and the rights to TMNT, Imegema.

[@danc6524]

when i was child i play the nes version before the arcade, and i was pretty disapointed with the arcade, because is really short... i really want to see those 2 extra stages in arcade version

[@freakyfornash]

Well that wasn't too uncommon for the console versions to have more to them, which was done in order to make up for system limitations when it came to graphics, sound, and general gameplay, etc. Same was also the case with Turtles In Time for the Super Nintendo, which had the extra Techodrome level not featured in the arcade. That along with a new final stage for Golden Axe on the Sega Genesis for that matter as other examples also.

[@autodidacticprofessor869]

One of the best arcade games of my teenage years. You can play the TMNT Arcade game on MAME, if emulations are your thing.

[@INTOTHEFOLD]

You are a great narrator! Perfect for this job. Subscribed

[@16BitJay]

It is amazing what it actually did in comparison, like a great example of scaling back where necessary and focusing on the strengths. I enjoyed the video.

[@GamevsGame]

right?! exactly my point, i've always loved seeing cases where the devs knew they would have to cut back, but there's a difference between just cutting and cutting wisely. TMNT 2 did it wisely. thanks for watching!

[@matthewstreets9662]

Great video and thank you for uploading it. I've got this game on my smart phone as an emulator but the original will always beat it any time of any day.

[@sidineirossifilho4495]

I've played so much the NES version, what a great game, bring back good memories!

[@MellowGaming]

Good stuff as always Eric. The NES port is a damn impressive one. Not many scrolling beat'em'ups survived the translation to the NES intact but TMNT was a smartly done one. I was looking at getting the NES version recently and then decided I'd rather eat and pay bills. All the TMNT games for the NES go for a fair bit in the UK. Didn't realise the XBLA version had been delisted. I've got that luckily. I'm pretty sure we played it on a stream once. Might be worth doing a proper LP of it some day.

[@GamevsGame]

thanks Ant! i am bummed i missed out on the XBLA version. it seems Konami just torched everything they could as they stepped out of the active developer scene, of course there was the PT debacle, but TMNT Arcade and Reshelled are gone, haven't looked into their other XBLA titles, but guessing they're gone too.

[@MellowGaming]

well if you ever cover that turtles in time reshelled version I could always capture a load of footage for you. got that too.

[@GamevsGame]

i've legitimately thought about calling Ubisoft to see if even though they can't (or won't) sell it anymore if they've got a code i could have :) i doubt it'll work, but i've got definite plans for Turtles in Time, so i'll have to take you up on it

[@MellowGaming]

It would be a cool one to cover cos the actual arcade version has never been released for home consoles. The SNES one is based on it, the unlockable one on GC has different music and no scores and Re-Shelled is entirely remade. I should consider doing a LP series of Re-shelled so I have all the footage for ya.

[@cienciamarcial]

Excellent. This game is the proof that they could have made a much more accurate Arcade versión of Double Dragon. I hope someone make a homebrew versión someday so we can see how much the NES was capable of. Greetings!

[@nbttl1975]

Great video, and the intro reminded me how much I miss chu chu rocket as well.

[@TekMoliGy]

This is one of the best beat em ups of all time i think. Me and my brother used to play this so much and it's probably one of our most played nes games. I never really was a huge arcade fan growing up so i never understood the people that always said arcade was better. For me personally the way i looked at it was i never even noticed the differences in how much better arcade versions looked back then and i always had all the consoles growing up so i just figured why would a spend my hard earned quarters playing on an arcade when i can go home and play as much as i want for free. With the side by side comparisons i think i actually prefer the nes music over the arcade. Something about the NES sound is just PERFECT for video games imo. The snes is my favorite console ever and even i think the nes has the best music.

[@NefariousDreary]

I had no idea this game was a sequel to the movie. that's killer!

[@asmallquest]

Cool episode, I love TMNT 2 on the NES. It's a really fun game that I keep playing oftern on my NES. Looking forward to the next episode, hoping for a Halloween related one :)

[@32_bit_gamer]

I never knew about the arcade game in battle nexus, Thanks!!!!!

[@XboxerBriefs]

Great video! If I could have a single arcade unit it would be a tie between this and Simpsons Arcade, but the NES port is 100% a fitting alternative until that time comes. Keep up the great work - your effort level on these videos definitely shows.

[@GamevsGame]

thanks Musty! i keep rattling that question around my head as well... still not sure what i'd settle on if it was only just 1 cab. Simpsons would be really tough to pass up.

[@Nintality]

Hero or Ninja turtles was a region difference back then, all the games and even the cartoon had this. Now it's the same no matter the region Special attack stayed the same in the famicom release, pressing both buttons at the same time (the game is easier then the ntsc or pal versions). Ntsc and Pal versions the special is changed as mentioned in this video

[@RVArmy-is1fy]

TMNT 2 on NES was one of my favorite NES games. I still think it's ten times better than the first turtles game on the NES. I can't believe people like that game now. I didn't like when it came out, and I feel the same way about it today.

[@Ecotic]

The NES game was a favorite of mine as a kid. A great port.

[@JakeWerkmeister]

This game should've been loaded on the NES Classic. Thank goodness for the Rom community.

[@AmigaCammy]

Great video, I really enjoyed your analysis and agree it's one of the best games on the NES. I'm an Amiga girl, and our port was pretty disappointing, being a straight port of the Atari ST version with no music and shoddy gameplay. But now in 2019, we finally have the chance to own the real thing thanks to Arcade1Up! I imported their new TMNT arcade machine from America all the way down here to Tasmania. My life is complete now!

I would have liked you too mention the difference, which occurred in bosses. Not fighting Beebop and Rocksteady together, fighting Baxter the Fly instead, I think. Great review. I've been waiting for somebody to put this one together for a while now.

[@JustinEvitable80]

I played the NES port constantly as a kid but only played it once in the last decade. Mostly TMNT3 is the only NES TMNT game I'll play these days. Only have the PS2 Battle Nexus, therefore can only play as Leo or Mike and wish this game had the same music.

[@richiehustle]

Gotta respect the effort and time

[@GXSCChater]

Great video! I have to say turtles 3 the Manhattan project is super amazing for the nes, it is the turtles in time for the nes and that engine is much closer to original then that first engine.

[@nickaguilar4007]

I have never wanted anything more than I wanted that game. Seriously.

[@ConsoleWars]

Nicely done! I like how you brought up Pizza Hut. I was so upset there we no pizza huts near me when this game came out. Never got to use that coupon...

thanks Dan! the most surprising thing is that you didn't have a Pizza Hut near you, i hope that's been changed over the years?

[@moishtar]

I got this game from a Kmart going out of business sale.. it was crazy there were games and stuff all over the floor and the prices were so low people would try to take stuff from your shopping cart.. and yes the nes music is better cuz thats how i remember it..

[@jplaya2023]

i did for this game they wouldve 4 player ported it to sega and snes with the additional stages and 16 bit sega graphics in addition to turtles in time and hyperstone heist

[@GamevsGame]

that would have been awesome, original arcade AND Turtles in Time on 16 bit hardware!

[@Sinn0100]

I loved this game and when it released I did my very first game trade in ever. I remember having a Sega Genesis at the time (launch of 89) and was pissed that it was not on the Genesis. I literally traded a Sega Genesis game in for TMNT and the clerk thought I was crazy. I was like 10 years old (or was I 9, cant remember), what do you want from me.;) He even told me I was dumb and tried to talk my mother into either stopping me or paying for it herself. She wanted me to learn to make my own decisions and accept them if they were less than ideal. Thankfully, this game was such a watershed moment, one last Wow factor before putting the old 8-bit hardware down for the last time (I still have one and yes I still play but you get it...). What really struck me about the Nes Ninja Turtles Arcade game was the fire at the beginning and how truly good it looked. Lastly, I totally disagree with you on the beat em' up's dying quip. We just got Streets of Rage, Final Fight was killing it in the arcades and dont forget The Simpsons Arcade as well. Following that we got Streets of Rage 2 (best beat em up ever made), Final Fight on the Snes and even better- the Sega CD. Lets not forget Nintendo's excellent rendition of Knights of the Round or Sega's Golden Axe series that was like Streets of Rage ahead of its class. If Sega or Nintendo was not your bag, SNK was rocking some excellent beat em' ups like Mutation Nation (okay but pretty for its time), Burning Fight (terrible), Robo Army(decent), Super Spy (fantastic), Crossed Swords (excellent), and the amazing Sengoku series (especially 3). I think the beat em' up genre was finally leaving that small River City Ransom/Double Dragon beat em' ups with Bad Dudes as a transition to characters that were not squat 8-bit looking games of the past generation. We were leaving the 8-bit generation as fast as we could for better and brighter things wether Nintendo wanted us to or not (Nintendo had no plans to move foward and were happy to let us lament in 8-bit land for another 4 years, thereby holding back progress).

[@AlexKidd]

I think what he meant is arcades are dead now, not back when this came out

[@Shritistrang]

There are practically no arcades in Germany, so we never got to experience the same feeling other countries did. So it's a shame we barely got to play the original TMNT Arcade game at all. Instead, we had to settle with Turtles in Time for the SNES. And yes, it was called Teenage Mutant HERO Turtles over here. A stupid change, but not one I'm too bothered with.

[@bruceaskew2107]

Great video,,, i miss old school arcades,, but i own a pandora's4s

[@paxhumana2015]

Well, you also have to consider that a. the arcade software that Konami was using was essentially 16-bit and the NES was 8-bit and Nintendo software honestly was a bit more limited that the Konami arcade cabinet and b. because of this, the arcade game had essentially more room for more sprites, better details in everything, and the ability to far surpass the capabilities for voices on the NES, which very few, if any, NES games had voices in them, let alone GOOD quality voices in the game, Game vs Game. Also, anyone that likes the MSDOS port of TMNT is a moron that should be pimp slapped so hard that Adam and Eve would feel the impact on both of their faces throughout time and space. Finally, although the arcade game was hard, the Nintendo port, to its credit, actually had NEW bosses, enemies, stages, and themes, not to mention that the stages in the NES port were actually LONGER than its arcade counterpart. Now if Konami or whoever could do so, then I would love for there to be a special commemorative version of the game in which the things from the NES version of the game were added to the original arcade game and all of that was done in 16-bit, along with another all new stage where The Rat King would be a boss, namely, an underground stage that was right before the Technodrome.

[@witchhatter]

I'm guessing this was posted before the arcade 1up home cabinet came out.

[@jayNicks10]

I like the TMNT arcade game on NES but I could’ve done without the 2 extra levels. As well as the enemy recovery time.

[@robertlauncher]

This is a really impressive port

[@DubiousGamingOnline]

dude, super cool how you showed both levels compared at 5:56. good work. Nice video, although i think i'd argue that the NES port didn't do thaaaat great of a job. It's pretty scaled down compared to the magnificent arcade release. I remember at the time of release i was so stoked about the arcade game coming to the NES as that was my favorite arcade game but playing it for that "all tmnt game" review i did a few years ago it just feels lacking by comparison... but that's just in my opinion. So are we gonna see Turtles in Time get the same treatment?

[@GamevsGame]

thanks Dubs! yeah its definitely scaled down, but that's to be expected for the NES and one of the things Sega would push that they're games were more arcadey. i don't mind, i think they did the NES port really smart. and don't you worry, i've definitely got plans for Turtles in Time :)

[@danielmelvin4525]

I love NES version but I only got to play original at Arcade version a few times, and by the time I was really of age Turtles In Time machines had taken the originals spot in most arcades. I was also used to playing home consoles and NES was my go to Even after we got a Sega. I felt the NES had a much better library ,and graphics though important didn't seem to decide a game for me. TMNT 3 Manhattan project really stepped things up as well still not arcade style but man the turtles and the whole game backgrounds looked so much better. They also added.to the move set with a special energy draining attack,which the best attacks were given to Michalangelo and Raphael since they had the shortest reach. I'd say Manhattan project was my favorite and had it been released on SNES I'd say it would have been better than Turtles in Time, as I preffered both the storyline, levels, and music of Manhattan project to TIT.

[@traviseisner5519]

I was offered a cabinet of TMNT for 20$ but the screen was broken. I should have taken it

[@IHATEDRIVING2]

The Arcade game was very easy to die. When a ninja grab you from behind and another start to hit you. that alone can cost a life. The wheel robot with the electric wire do a lot of damage too. While in the Nes version there wasent anything like that, but the levels where a lot longer and when you are in the last level you can feel very tired affer been playing a beat em up since an hour ago. That tiring feeling I never experienced with plataform games like Megaman but with long beat em up games I do.

Great video! Just found your channel thanks to Jimmy Happa. Subbed! As for the games, eh, I feel TMNT 2 on the NES has aged really poorly. I've tried playing it as an adult and it is just so incredibly repetitive and samey. The arcade at least is still pretty exciting, albeit, also limited and repetitive. But I appreciate both of them for the relics that they are and I learned quite a bit from your vid. Great job!

[@GamevsGame]

that Jimmy is such a precocious lad... i get that same feeling actually on a lot of beat-em-ups but strangely, never have with TMNT 2, maybe it's the nostalgia of playing it at a Bowling Alley arcade, who knows? but thanks again for stopping by, glad you enjoyed the video and appreciate the sub!

Ps1 was not supposed to do 2d as well as the Saturn and yet certain Street Fighter titles, Castlevania and even some shmups looked as good if not better than their Saturn counterparts.

I love and hate that time in gaming as it pretty much was the beginning of the end for Sega.

Were there original songs for the 2 unique levels?

I had a talk a couple of years back on the comment section for the same game having a port of the first turtles arcade game on 16bit snes.And said that i believe that the snes could handle masterfully the original arcade graphics.A guy answered me in my comment telling me that he think that even snes wasn't strong enough to lift the original arcade's power.I still believe though that snes would handled really good the first game without a problem.Since they did that awesome job with turtles in time,and that arcade had even better graphics why not the first turtles game? I wish there was some kind of a way to port this to a snes and see if the system could work with the power of the system.Tell me your thoughts people about that matter,and happy new year to all.

Or you could get mini arcade with both arcade games that was released last year.

Ive got the conversion of this to the Amstrad CPC. It looks nice but is a bit dull sadly.

I thought the nes version was older than the arcade judging by its 8-bit style. Guess I was wrong.

[@franksmith613]

Is it possible someone could hack and update the arcade rom to include the 2 extra levels from the NES port?

The Irate Gamer was really unfair with the NES version of this game in his review. Regardless of how you feel about him, that's neither here nor there. He mainly trashed the NES version because it didn't have arcade graphics and lost the four player mode. I mean, I will admit, my first time playing the NES version when I was a kid, it was SLIGHTLY disappointing as it wasn't 100% like the arcade. But for most of us, it was that or nothing. I used to not be able to get passed level 4, until I discovered that one-hit move and that kicking the bosses defeat them faster. If you don't compare the NES version to the arcade version and view it on its own merits, it's a good game. Much better than the first TMNT game.
