[@John-vx7fe]

The Ninja Turtles arcade game was how my stepdad bribed me and my brother before he proposed to my Mom. He had to have spent well over a $100 and we spent hours until we finally beat it in the arcade. 30 years later and he is still one of the finest men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.

[@bravo1oh1]

That's a very precious memory . Very wholesome 🤗

[@UCanBeatVideoGames]

What a great memory! Honestly, your stepdad must be a special guy if he understood how to bond with you like that. Thank you for sharing 😁

[@StCerberusEngel]

I remember playing the arcade version for what must have been hours in my local Pizza Hut as a kid. TMNT and Street Fighter II until the food was ready, then home to eat pizza and watch movies and play games rented from Premiere Video. Often this very NES port, in fact. Weekends were something special back then. Man, those really were the days.

[@oliverg6643]

This comment brought back soo many memories. Those for sure were some of my best childhood memories.

[@stacks74026]

[@jcrowellz2000]

Same here. I think it was because you didn't have the instant gratification of being able to play games 24/7. It was on the weekend or summer when you were able to do that

[@DamonNomad82]

One of my fondest video game-related memories was from when I was 9 years old in the early 90s. My family was visiting my dad's brother in another state. He had a son about the same age as me, and my dad, my uncle, my cousin and I went to the arcade and spent a big bag of quarters playing through this game in 4-player mode. After that, we HAD to pick up a pizza!

[@ackulakan]

OH MAN! This game brings back great memories. I used that coupon at my local Pizza Hut back in the day. I still remember it fondly because my mom was so happy that I was so happy. Those of us who grew up in the late 80's and 90's really did have the greatest time.

[@FatherSaunders]

They really were very unique, special, and of course nostalgic times for sure. I was born in '79' so this is right uptown for me. I have to pull myself away at times because I get lost in those memories knowing they will never happen again. Nostalgia is both awesome and dangerous if not kept in check. At least for me they are.

​@@FatherSaundersyou never know... between global warming and nuclear war it's entirely possible we could go back to analog in our lifetime 😮

When my Mom and older brother came home from Toys 'r' us with this game, I was so damn excited I couldn't even tell the difference from the arcade version until years later when I went to an Arcade while my parents were gambling in Reno, NV. I cannot believe I was able to beat part 1 when I was 4. Way too many hours in front of the electronic babysitter. LOVING THE NOSTALGIA. GREAT VIDEO MAN! SUBBED.

[@UCanBeatVideoGames]

That's awesome! This was a great one for families, I remember playing this and Rescue Rangers with my brothers.

I also played this over and over with my siblings. Sometimes we completed it twice in a row, crazy to think now we didn't tire of it. :D

[@UCanBeatVideoGames]

Yes! This, and Rescue Rangers were also very popular at my house growing up. It was always fun to be able to play a good game where both players could play at the same time. I liked games like Contra or Double Dragon 2, but those were hard for my younger brothers - these ones were more on the fun side.

TMNT, rescue rangers, DuckTales and Dark wing duck was really good as well as Blaster master and final fantasy and other games too 😁

[@xonegamer7274]

One of my memories about this game is the first when was shipped to a video store. My parents was at work and I could not wait my mam and paps to return , I was so excited that I can barely explain what's was so important , my mother thought that something wrong was happening with grandma, then I ask mom to go with the video store and rent the game . She is the best in the world and we went there, it was dark and cold winter day, I thought it was december around 1992-3 . I was 12-13th at that time. What a special day that was. This memories is so bright in my mind like it was yesterday. I am so happy that my mom and dad are still here with me to this day and they never stop support me like in this cold winter day . I love this game. I always will . It's special. I always play it in snowy dark cold winter days and evenings. I was happy back then, I am happy now. Piece to all that have such a memories with video games or movies. This things is like time capsule. Wish you all great fellow gamers.

[@dalesfailssagaofasuslord783]

[@JeffreyD44]

This really takes me back. I met a lot of people as a kid playing this at the arcade and loved it on NES. Thanks for the video.

[@matthewbingham1326]

I didn't even know you could dodge Shredder's de-mutation beam like that in the NES version. That's quite nifty! Also, in the fight against Krang, if you wait for him to shoot his laser and then kick him almost immediately after his laser shot disappears, Krang won't retaliate since it takes a few seconds for him to use his kick attack after he fires his laser. Quite useful in conserving your health when fighting him!

[@AcidGlow]

Watching Shredder clone himself was so cool back in the day. Still my favorite boss 😆

[@Femaiden]

"to do the special , press A slightlt earlier than B" i discovered that on my own, but the way i always did it was to roll my thumb horizontal across the buttons , so the ball hits A and quickly squish B with the tip. . if that makes sense. it doesn't require you to hold the controller in an awkward position like what was suggested in this video

[@UCanBeatVideoGames]

I just find that method to be slightly less consistent. Sometimes it turns into a Jump Kick

[@retrogamerdad9621]

Yeah I definitely held the controller like normal. It's almost a double button press, but the knuckle of the thumb goes down first. No rolling or trickery needed.

[@stormykeep9213]

Exactly. Unless you're using the NES Advantage, of course.

[@jcrowellz2000]

It becomes 2nd nature to attack like that, when you're not doing the jump kick, while playing through the game

[@alvinforde9288]

The missiles you was referring to in the sewer stage, only come out to attack you when you fight these foot soldiers shown at 18:17 and you go into the water. Otherwise it is safe to be in the water. Just a lil something I remembered playing this classic as a kid. Thanks for the memories.

[@flinten7485]

I always thought the missiles only come out when the moving gate is in the top portion to try and give a deterrent to just ignoring the gate and walking in the water past it. I didn't think the missiles came out otherwise. Maybe at the boss fight?

[@UCanBeatVideoGames]

They come out mostly when there aren't too many enemies on the screen. Probably a limitation on moving sprites.

[@derektereve286]

Fun Fact: If you time it correctly, you can bounce the manhole cover back and kill the Foot Soldier

[@Animebryan2]

Fun Fact #2: In the sewers, you can farm the missiles for points. They don't infinitely spawn, but you can get a decent amount of points by destroying them until they stop spawning, assuming you can get the timing right.

I have the coupon. It expires December 31, 1990. I was disappointed because it actually says 1990. I have a Ghostbusters II Hardee’s coupon that expires July, 31 89. I’ve considered taking it to a Hardee’s since it doesn’t specify 1989 to get a 39 cent cone.

My mother used to rent me games so your channel made me realize I've played everything and beaten nothing. Love the content. Peak nostagia.

[@pikaplayer2870]

Are you gonna do the third one?

[@UCanBeatVideoGames]

Definitely!

[@kpilatzke]

My cousin and I played this game repeatedly Leo and Donnie were always our go to, we continuously beat it over and over. Such great 90’s fun

[@hardtymz2517]

He doesn’t know how to hit the manhole (giggity) cover back at the Foot Soldier?? That’s one of the main selling points of this and the arcade game. Buy Pizza Hut.

[@wyldelf2685]

To be fair about that ,in Mario Bros series it's not a reflex thought to deflect a bullet back the direction it came from,,,it's more like an "ohh shit I better jump out of its way", moment so I can understand that in TMNTag when a tire or manhole cover is coming at you,,,

[@gibbs615]

Both the arcade and nes versions of TMNT 2 were two of my favorite old games to play too way back!

[@maevethefox5912]

I'm pretty sure this is the first NES game I actually worked through and beat! So cool to see again!

[@kdwb32]

Thank you for bringing back memories for me. This was the closest thing to the arcade back in the day. Really enjoying your play through videos! Would love to see you do DejaVu and Bart VS. the space mutants

[@beewebber3231]

I can't wait for you to do more TMNT games! Also a star tropics 2 MUST be done! I love what you're doing and i'm actually learning new things from a game i've played for 30 years!

[@Lional]

Me and a friend used to play this all the time, and once we learned how to perfect the special move it was mostly cake. Great video, love the nostalgia!

[@brandonfrancey5592]

I remember beating the arcade version in a hotel. Mom gave me $10 to do with as I wanted. It was the most money I ever pumped into a machine. After I beat the game, with a little help from some other kids who came and went, I think I still had $2 or $3 bucks left over.

[@cavendishbandana8706]

The first clip of the ice level and the lion drawings coming out sparked a memory of me playing this game. I didn't remember playing anything but the arcade version until right then. Thank you. Edit: 38:42 I would think the actual transport would be called the Tubular Transport, not the flying enemies.

[@thehowlinggamer5784]

I remember playing this so much I could easily get to the paper tiger level before losing my first life. Can't tell how many blistered thumbs i had swiping a to b for the special attack.

[@ericowings8310]

When I was a kid I could beat the first game but I struggled with this one. Still some of my best childhood memories playing these games.

[@metrorican]

This video is great, and brings back fond memories. I got this game for my 8th birthday in 1990, and beat it the same day with one of my cousins who was at the party. It's one of my favorite childhood memories.

[@UCanBeatVideoGames]

That's so awesome! This is one of the best 2 player games on the NES for sure!

[@mappybc6097]

An easy way of doing a quick B,A input is to place you thumb on the right edge of the B button then slide it over to the A button as if you were swiping your phone's screen right, only with slightly more pressure applied. In actuality the standard NES controller's buttons don't need to be pressed too hard for the input to be registered. This trick is often used to perform the helicopter kicks in Double Dragon, hope it helps.

[@BlottaMcTablets]

In 6 months you'll have over 200k subs, my friend. These videos are quality af. You've inspired me to go back tackle Zelda 2. Thanks.

[@Animebryan2]

Don't forget, Zelda 2 has a ton of replay value thanks to a randomizer that changes the overworld & where everything is located, but you have to be pretty good at the original to fully enjoy it.

[@mkv2718]

11:58. one of the reasons i love this channel right here; too many people will tell you only the “perfect kill” solution and never give alt strats in case people can’t execute it. it doesn’t even matter that i’ve beaten this game dozens of times, it’s just common dang courtesy. edit: tho i would say that the jump kick strat would be going “toe to toe” 😉

[@josh-c4h]

My name is Josh and I just want to say thank you I watched your video on teenage mutant Ninja turtles for the NES and I finally get to I finally beat the Ninja turtles for the NES I just want to say thank you and I love your KZbin channel please keep making movies and I love Richard retro video games

[@stevehail76]

I just played this on my NES Classic yesterday. Great memories of playing this for Christmas 1990 when I got the game originally.

[@MrChicagoIllinois]

Even though it's not the same as the arcade version, it's still fun to play ! I just beat this game 2 weeks ago !

[@Koshea69]

I never mastered the special attack but that v shaped jump kick served me well all the way through beating the game in the arcade and then I thought I was the business on the NES with this game, and man if only I had known how to consistantly knock out that special attack.

[@phlebiax5592]

I always did the jump-kick on all bosses, because i learned as a kid that in the next level you will get full health! One of my favorite NES games ever! And most of the time i returned the tire or manhole's back at them!

[@DeadmanRetro]

Brother, thanks for all your guides and videos, love from México and this guide was crucial on my RetroAchievements hunting. Then again, thanks. :D

Playing this as right now! I haven’t played since I was a kid. I got a Miyoo mini a few months back and have been playing all the old games again! Man they were good games!

[@chrisjackson3587]

you can farm the missiles in the sewers for points too, its been a long time since i played this one but i recall there were 2 or 3 sections where missiles would come at you, and each one had 10 or 20 missiles before they stop spawning. i cant be exact not having played recently but i remember getting a significant amount of points, if you get into a rhythm with the strong attack they arent a problem. that being said, i had never thought to farm baxters mousers before!! that aside, ive truly been enjoying your videos. ive watched almost all of them, and i have only one piece of advice: dont change a thing!! you do such a great job, are exceptionally thorough, theyre an absolute pleasure to watch. i hope you dont mind me chiming in with my tip, perhaps you hadnt thought of farming the missiles, theyre a great way to farm up points without baxter flying around!! thank you!!

[@Jedimichael]

When young, I would record myself playing to cassette tape. Friends joked that one day we would probably film it.....long before the days of youtube. I have actually spent hours at the motorcycle part racking up points and extra lives. I see our playing style in the game is pretty similar. I've never seen anyone else fight Baxter as the fly like that. I've told so many friends over the years about that trick, funny. But....always room to learn. Never have known about the "invincible" spot when fighting Shredder. So of all the NES games.....and really, of ALL the games I've played, this is by far the one I have beaten the most. Happy playing!!!

[@Jedimichael]
