Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time (Arcade vs Snes) Side by Side Comparison

[@smoothALOE]

Now that I’ve seen these side-by-side, I’m convinced that this might’ve been the best arcade port of that era.

[@sloppynyuszi]

I would say the SF2 Turbo is still the better arcade port, but it’s really touch and go between the two

[@smoothALOE]

Sloppy Toons what was that one that was ported to the SNES late in its lifespan? It had some special chip that allowed it to work on the console, but it caused the cartridge to get really hot. Was it SF Alpha?

[@MarioRodriguez-or9fn]

@@smoothALOE yes, SF Alpha 2. It even had loading times before every round.

[@smoothALOE]

Mario Rodríguez it was impressive.

[@ofonruiz]

@@sloppynyuszi SF2 turbo was a good game but far for a great port.

[@doncreech]

Turtles in Time, what a game. I actually appreciate the accomplishment of the SNES version even more looking back on it after all these years. Surprisingly little was sacrificed in the visual department, almost as if the developers used the lack of frames to inherently tighten up the combat. Like any good beat-em-up, you really do feel the 'oomph' of an attack landing. The vocal samples, lo-fi as they may be, are truly charming and memorable. Presented are extra levels with added, redrawn and rearranged bosses. Oh, and that exemplary soundtrack. Its only real flaw is the lack of four player support, though I imagine the frame rate would struggle to competently display the myriad of player and enemy sprites. A top 10 title for the Super Nintendo in my opinion.

[@paulolameiras861]

I loved this game on Snes but didn't know it was such a good port. Impressive!

[@knightshifter2201]

They did an amazing port for the Super Nintendo.

[@pietjebel9130]

i agree

[@LanIost]

Yeah, honestly I forgot what the arcade version looked like but having lived in that era I figured it'd be much, much better like every other arcade/console version was (although, they were the closest we had ever had at home). ... Really, if the snes had another 2mb or so for extra animation frames they would be almost identical graphically except for the larger shredder image on the tv and the smoother scaling when throwing things towards the screen. Either way, at some points I literally forgot which side was which.

[@shr00mhead]

Dude, more levels, Bebop and Rocksteady. 2 P vs. The Technodrome, Rat King, Slash, Throwing things at Shredder while he shot you. Literally the only thing Arcade has is 4P. Ill give this to SNES. Not by like alot, but ya, SNES wins.

[@fernandopalmeira622]

@@shr00mhead the greatest difference is in how many robots u ve in screen, animations, voices and in control (the arcade version moves a lot better compared to the snes)

[@shr00mhead]

Turtles in Time may have been the first game that really made me think the gap between arcades and home consoles was shrinking.

[@Retromancers]

SNES Version was actually a really excellent port and one of my fav beatemups ;)

[@needhambunch]

Honestly back in the day, we didnt have comparison videos to be able to see the nuances that were different. But I thought (and still do think) that this is an excellent port and when it came out I thought it was near perfect from what I could remember! I really enjoyed playing both the arcade as well as owning and playing this on the Super NES!!

[@hababacon]

Arcade but the SNES port is pretty damn good in my opinion.

[@hababacon]

Ruby Williams Anti UTTP Nope, resolution appears to be lower, and the arcade seem to have higher FPS.

[@hababacon]

Ruby Williams Anti UTTP I'm pretty sure the arcade is higher, with more frames of animations, and higher frame rates. Look around the 6:00 mark. The fire hydrant and water is higher res, and more frames of animations. Look at the characters, the arcade version has slightly larger, but noticeably bigger characters. Arcade version color depth appears higher as well, looking around the same six minute mark, the background appears washed out on the SNES. The door opening in the background is actually black on the arcade version, while it's grey with signs of dithering on the SNES. Fast forward to 9:42, look at the fence on both versions. The arcade fence is clearly more define which indicates higher resolutions, and or color depth.

[@hababacon]

I don't know what you're looking, or if you're trolling. I pointed out several scenes and why, you just replied back with higher color depth and resolution without examples, or addressing my examples.

[@zuane1981]

IMHO you have right. I have the pcb and the snes version. Arcade has better graphic, more animations (for example foot soldiers), stages with more details and colours (for example the Technodorme). The snes version is fantastic with more stages than arcade (as nes version of turtles the arcade game). The problem of the snes game is that the enemies can't be more than 4 insted in the pcb can be 12.

In fairness, the arcade version was also 16 bit. The hardware wasn't all that different, honestly. The CPU in the arcade version was a little faster, but other than that - if they had put this on a 16MBIT cart the Super NES version could have been identical to the arcade version.

[@Ryuujin1078]

Thank you for doing this comparison of one of my favorite arcade/console games ever!! I always knew the snes port was missing animation frames and other things but it was an awesome port. But it made it up by adding extra stages and rearranging bosses. The combat was also improved in the port like hit detection and throwing the foot at the screen was an actual command and not at random like the arcade. The arcade had a difficulty curve meant to eat quarters so it was a a little bit easy on the snes. The music to me had a better arrangement on snes with a bit more bass. But the arcade was much clearer. Again both are awesome games. Even the Genesis mashup title, HyperStone Heist, is deserving!

[@TwesomE]

Aside from the ost,and the sound on snes was a little better!

[@Syklonus]

Smoother animation and a higher fps on the arcade game plus a few more colours, but holy shit at a glance they are indistinguishable. In fact, even after a few seconds it's sort of hard to tell. Konami were on fire in the 90s when it came to SNES games.

[@enricomazzarellosimracing6502]

Personally, i hate this tendence of Nintendo to modified classics Coin op ( in the Nes SNes time ) with the intent of releasing a better product . With this system, they ruined so many classics , from Double Dragon ( 1 & 2 ) on Nes, to Ghouls'n'Ghost, Final Fight and many others on Snes. Not always to have exclusive contents on a game, gives good results. For my personal opinion, when i play one porting of one coin op, i just like to have the feeling that i'm playing something really close to the original ... excepts some kind of games ( like Pvp games )... on this perspective Sega Genesis, respect much more my game philosofy ( even if Sega also did a few times, and Final Fight on Mega Cd is an example ), but take for example Double Dragon ( the first cause the second was also mod on Sega Genesis 😢) , one of the most high fidelity port from a Coin Op to console, gameplay was almost the same of Arcade game ( only a lot of more smooth ), but the satisfaction to repeat exactly what you can do on the "bar machine" at home ( for that time ), was far much better experience for the than get an alternative ( Nippon style ) mod, with extra levels ( in some cases even abilities never seen in the originals example Super Ghouls'n'Ghost, has many structural difference even in Gameplay, not only in contents ), which just exagerate the game experience. .. like in the kitchen, put too much of anything in a dish, could ruine an otherwise awesome dish !

A rare instance of the SNES port being better than the arcade original.

[@gargonovich]

The Arcade version has better animation, and 4 player support, but the whole thing just feels... off. Your attacks have no oomph in the Arcade, whereas in the SNES you stagger the enemy a bit more and the combat feels more solid and controllable. Neon Night Riders is way cooler on SNES as well, and I prefer the SNES soundtrack and sounds in general. For me, it's the SNES, but I can definitely see why some would prefer the Arcade. Amazing port either way, though, and especially considering how early this was in SNES' life.

The Arcade ver. has the classic high difficulty in order to make players spend a lot of money. The Snes ver. had a more balanced gameplay for everyone.

Now go back to unironically calling others biased while you pray at your giant Nintendo shrine.

[@IanPeon]

This is the first and only (as far as I'm aware) port of an arcade game that ends up being better on console. Why is it better? Because of more quality content, i.e. the first Technodrome level with the first Shredder fight (which incidentally makes more sense), and the boss fight with Slash instead of some clay monster in "Prehistoric Turtlesaurus." The only thing missing in the SNES version is 4 players, which may have actually been possible if the adapter would've been available on launch (see the N64's 4 ports being standard).

[@philiplonidier]

Yeah, I never understood Shredder banishing you to the past while you're riding along in the sewer in the arcade version. Doing it from the Technodrome just made a LOT more sense.

Couldn´t agree more with you, also in the SNES port the gameplay and hit detection was polished and made it a great experience, in the original arcade the gameplay and controls are kinda crap, feels like you dont hit the enemies at all when you land blows on them, how could explain, feels like everything is too slippery, like is all in the arcade game was made of soap.

Better soundtrack (IMO). I’ve played both back to back recently, and the SNES version is far superior. I was getting bored playing the arcade despite the fact it was 4-player, and I was really missing the fun of slamming enemies or throwing them toward the screen whenever I wanted which is always satisfying.

I'm sure a lot of the things cut from the Snes version were actually just cut because it had to be squeezed into a small cart and small amount of RAM not because the system wasn't capable of it.

It definitely possible! Turtles 3 on the nes was definitely konamis TIT like port. It had 2 shredder levels just snes, lots of fan service and you can switch turtles when you die allowing use of all 4 turtles.

[@mcdelloboy]

GXSCChater are there really any difference gameplay wise should the consoles be able to do more against an arcade

[@GXSCChater]

@@mcdelloboy YES! see the arcade throws in the game was random, snes allows you to controls throws now. SO you can throw as many foot solders into the screen as much as you want, or slam them on the floor. This is need to fight shredder in the technodrome.

[@mcdelloboy]

GXSCChater oh ok was the arcade version harder

[@drewski4u]

thanks for having my childhood game in this i really appreciate it

[@idkg-idontknowgames]

Abertura do Arcade pra mim é uma das melhores já feita. Vou de empate, gosto e joguei bastante ambas.

[@LGDRetrogamer]

Acho ambas boas.

[@mdo7]

Well, I'm glad both version(s) are getting re-released and coming to current and next gen consoles as part of the Cowabunga Collection. They both are great games in their own way, but it's going to be hard to say which version is better.

[@jeremyscout3464]

I like the sound more on snes. When you hit an opponent in the arcade version it just sounds flat and doesn't have much weight to it. The music is really iconic for snes as well. Visually they're not much different

[@mdo7]

@@jeremyscout3464 As I said, that's why I'm glad this upcoming collection will have both version. I mean if you have kids and you want to teach them compare & contrast before they even learned it in school, having both arcade and SNES version of Turtles in Time would be a great teaching and entertaining at the same time. See if your little kids can detect small differences between the 2 versions.

[@YoureStandinOnItDude]

When they did the Reshelled game years back, i wish they just utilized the graphics & sound of the Arcade & pasted that over the SNES version.

[@adroharv9213]

The arcade version lacks a sense of actually hitting your enemy coming off as decidedly weedy. Both the Snes and MD versions have a much more satisfying sense of contact. In this sense it's very hard to play the arcade version when so accustomed to the much tighter solid weighty feel of the much better console versions. Also remember that the MD version is quite a bit different too regards to it's levels being different and worth checking out. Anyone who champions the Arcade version over console surely isn't doing so based on it's awful floaty feel

[@beezle1976]

Megadrive game is my 2nd favorite in the series. It's something along the lines of the ultimate remix of the 2 arcade games (which Im sure you realize seeing as you brought it up :-) ). My overall favorite in the series though is original arcade game (is there anyone this isn't true of though? :-) )

[@Andronicus87]

This is one of the rare instances where a console game outdoes it's arcade counterpart in many ways.

[@bruceleeroy8302]

I would love to have all the stages and bosses of the SNES version, with the graphics, music and mechanics of the Arcade. Somebody, make it happen!

[@AlexOjideagu2]

The SNES version controls better but the arcade looks better

[@elizandrolopez6295]

Difficult, because SNES doesn't have the CPU the arcade has. It seems konami used the same hardware to make both games but with different engine for sound , graphics ect... The arcade rom has more than 3MB the SNES barely can reach 900kb to just 1MB only in special games. But however, this is the bettest arcade port of all time if we compare it to the genesis version who is very poor.

[@bruceleeroy8302]

@@elizandrolopez6295 But today, 3MB is nothing. They can easily remake the SNES game with the graphics sound and play mechanics of the arcade.

[@elizandrolopez6295]

@@bruceleeroy8302 I agree with you, today it can be done but the thing is, this one was made by konami and the licensing of the turtles is now at the hands of nickelodeon. To make this possible konami has to remake from the sctratch cutting, adding ,editing ect and sadly i don't think they have any interest in doin this kind of task at this point. 10 years back was possibilities but now i doubt it sadly😕 But how i wish to see this done, it worth praise it once again in a new style.

[@TheRelen222]

@@elizandrolopez6295 Probably not but they could outsource it. With the new Turtles game on the way, let's hope it motivates them to release a definitive version on steam. Or even a compilation of all the turtles beat em ups.

[@smittysmitt375]

Overall of course the arcade version is superior, that's a no brainer, but in some ways I actually like the snes version better. For one thing I like the addition of the tecnodrome stage, it makes more sense to me that shredder would show up on the screen in the tecnodrome and send them into a time warp through a dimensional portal, than the arcade version where his face just shows up in the sewer and sends them. I also like the choice of bosses in the snes version better. In prehistoric turtlesourus they have slash instead of that stupid blob thing. On the pirate ship they have bebop and rocksteady, but yet they don't get rid of tokka and razar either, they just move them to another stage. Of course the music's better in the arcade version, but the controls on the snes are better.

[@reginaldojunior5353]

Jogaço. Versão do SNES fantástica. Pode perder uma coisinha aqui, outra ali, mas no geral não tem como não dar nota 10 para conversão.

[@steveothehulk]

Wow what an incredibly good arcade port, I wish they brought the other turtles arcade to snes back in the day

[@aaronmerkel5216]

For the snes, I dont know why they skip out on some voice samples or frames of animation. Did it honestly cost that much more to put more animation frames? Also, pizza time with no posing on the snes. I suppose the more megs the more costly but they probably could have made an almost perfect port. One thing that bugged me is the “mode 7”when enemies were thrown towards the screen, it is like two frames. Where is the mode 7?

[@davezanko9051]

Mode 7 only worked on backgrounds, not sprites. So Mode 7 is in Neon Night Riders, not the flinging of Foot Soldiers.

[@Dashawn2007SigmaBlood]

When it goes to the (boss battle death's) I'll give that to the Arcade.

[@fjimenezSK]

I like the way you edited at 13:51 and had the footage line up with the SNES when it says Let's Kick Shell. Very nice video.

[@AtomicKG84]

Wow I just realized something cool watching this. The room where Shredder is shooting you from his turret in front of that big Portal/Screen on the SNES bonus level, is the same room you fight Shredder and Krang in the final battle of the original arcade game.

[@GraveUypo]

as someone who grew on home consoles and did not go to the arcades at all, seeing the arcade versions of the games i liked is pretty damn cool. they feel like remasters with their smoother animations and better graphics. but worse music in this case.

[@great159]

The arcade had more detail in the levels, better music/effects and better gameplay (everyone moves faster) than the SNES. SNES added a level and altered 2 levels (Sewer Surffin and Neon Knight Riders.) Both are good, BUT ARCADE IS BETTER💯👍

[@jordanbyrd9821]

Totally.

[@masterlee1988]

For 1CC SNES is better for that as Arcade version is busted difficulty wise. With dynamic difficulty that affects the number of enemies on screen depending on how long you live, the absurd 5 minute time bombs that creates problems like forcing a slower play style and listening to music loops to try to dodge it, cheap enemies and bosses, pretty much being forced to used specials over regular attacks for 90% of the game and only half of the turtles that are worth using(like Mikey and Donnie) it's clear that they went out of their way to make one of the hardest games to 1CC for ridiculous reasons. And I finally 1CC the arcade version recently and while it was rough I was glad I was able to do it.

[@alainazor3990]

SNES GOOD PORTS👍+ Very close to the arcade adding more stage

[@TheHulkingMenace]

the original arcade is always the #1 of my choice, The Snes is an excellent port with few additions and setbacks. but this is a good comparison.

[@home1261]

Can't beat arcade always wondered why arcade games look alot more detailed then console when console came out after.

[@itchyisvegeta]

I dont care what they say, i love the SNES game more and think its the better game

[@JustinEvitable80]

Anyone else think all of the Turtles in the SNES port sound like Donatello (80's - early 90's version)?

[@danzig3764]

Both versions are amazing and can’t go wrong with either one.

[@roldanrosario243]

The 4 player option gives the arcade version an edge. But, I’ll still take the SNES version over it.

[@great159]

The SNES is VERY close to the arcade BUT the arcade is still better. Shredder has upgraded himself since the the first arcade game. Look at his helmet. He used it to send the turtles in time, he has a lightsaber, he shoots fire from his hand AND levitates to shoot beems at you. His outfit is a different color and his gauntlets are different. Lastly he's SUPER tall and big like a Super Shredder💯👍

[@earlspencer7863]

The voices of the arcade are so great!

[@davidbermudez7704]

SNES port is the closet to Arcade it’s amazing so many great times and memories renting the game at a video store in 90s 😊

[@Mr_Green1017]

They did a great job on the snes port

[@SpeccyHorace]

SNES version feels so much better to play.
