Episode Notes:
1. Arcade versions captured via MAME.
2. Game Boy versions captured on the Super Game Boy via RGB from the SNES.
3. Genesis versions on the Mega SG.
4. NES versions from the NES Classic.
5. SNES versions from real hardware.
6. I am considering a video that includes the other Turtles games around this time.
7. Of the original movies, my favorite is the first by far. Part 2 was decent itself, but part 3 was pretty bad.
8. These old games see reissue every so often. They typically get delisted pretty fast due to licensing issues, however.
9. Turtles in Time was remade some years back but it turned out pretty weak.
10. My daughter collected TMNT toys for awhile. She gave them to me when she turned 10, telling me she was too old for them.
I always felt TMNT 3 Manhattan Project was underrated for it's time. Loved that game
Easily my favourite NES Turtles game. It sucks it never came out in the UK.
Probably because the 16 bit consoles were already at full force when TMNT 3 came out.
I had this and it was indeed a blast.
It’s the best of the NES Trilogy in my opinion.
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. :)
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.
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
Seeing the stuff my daughter was exposed to, I made it my mission to raise her on 80's/90's content.
@@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).
@@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?!?
I'm not trying to be funny frankly I'd rather enjoy animation now as there's variety but you keep with your pasty white pudding cake
@@Planag7 i mean i can respect if you did not like that time because of some personal reason but come on, it was not the same for us. Neither good or bad were an absolute. And neither are today
Turtles In Time is my all time favorite beat em up. The gameplay, stages and soundtrack are all the gold standard to me. I still play it occasionally and it never ages to me.
Its a nice game to pick up and beat sometimes. 30-45 minutes
Im always Raphael because I like his special
Fun Fact. The Shredder dies in the 1st ever issue of the 1984 comic. It wasn't until the 1987 cartoon they brought the Shredder back.
I had no idea. Nice.
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.
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.
LOL @ the sprites in that second TMNT Game Boy game.
could use some modern accessories for retro gaming :P
Looks constipated 🤣
dude the white flashes are terrible.. could really help with a warning,
Stupid Game Chasers
A million times better than the Tiger handheld games at the time, lol
Really looking forward to the new "Shredder's Revenge" game coming soon!
It's my most anticipated game for this year.
Definetly a night to grab a pizza and revel in the nostalgia.
The fact that it's being developed by people who worked on the INSANELY overlooked but INCREDIBLY solid TMNT 2007 GBA game and Scott Pilgrim Vs The World has me even more excited for Shredder's Revenge.
What system?
PC and Switch right now.
// Fondly remembering coming out the movie theater, singing the "Ninja Rap" w/ my best friend and his lil sis ....... :-D
Ah going to the arcade and hearing "Shell Shocked!" in the background was good times :D
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!
Yup. Those GB games were great at the time.
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.
@@chumorgan443 same here. I only saw the Turtles in Tme cabinet after playing the SNES version
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.
TMNT 2 for nes was one of my most rented games. Finally my mom bought it for me for xmas... ironically she bought it from the video store we rented it from when they were clearing inventory.
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.
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.
I had the Genesis version of TMNT Tournament Fighters. I took it back to the store as soon as I could.
This is why I watch this channel! You bring me right back to this era of my life every time. Love it man!
Glad you approve.
Ah childhood, this is a great vid SLX, thanks for doing this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
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.
Almost at 100k, early congrats bro. Keep making these retro vids they are good for the soul.
One of my small cherished memories was renting turtle in time back when i was 7. Staying up late trying to beat it as many times as I could before i had to go to bed. Very nice memory.
As someone who wasn't alive when the Turtles were big, the games are a huge reason I've grown so fond of them.
I was literally just playing Hyperstone Heist right before this video dropped. So perfect timing!
Good choice!
The Cowabunga Collection and Shredder’s Revenge ohh me oh my, I cannot wait for those to come out already! And me, my brother and friends always played the Turtles games together, the NES versions all bring back wonderful memories. And Hyper Stone Heist is my favorite of the two 16 bit side scroller beatem ups.
The early TMNT games carry so much nostalgia for me. What a great era. Gotta say, I’m stoked for that new one coming out from the Streets of Rage 4 guys. They nailed the look.
I agree. The first NES game I enjoy, even it is not a very good game but nostalgia transport it's for me.
Yeah that Shredder's revenge one looks so damn good. I cannot wait to play that game.
TMNT Turtles in Time Arcade and SOR2 are The 2 Greatest Beat Em Ups of All Time
I have the first two on NES! not a super fan of the original but the home port of the first arcade game is still pretty fun, even as tough as it was! even with the extra lives cheat I haven't made it to the end yet!
turtles in time I recently picked up this year after moving in with my wife! (and luckily she's a little more into videogames so its not a hard sell to get her to team up with me on it! already beat the game on easy and normal, eventually we'll have to go back and finish it on hard to get the actual ending... one of these days!)
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!
Also while I don't know when it's releasing I'm definitely all kinds of hyped for Shredder's Revenge, DotEmu's take on Konami's classic beat-em-up formula!
I have The Hyperstone Heist for the Mega Drive and Turtles in Time for the SNES. I recently played through them both with my nephew and he absolutely loves both games! Us kids of the late 80's/early 90's definitely had it good in terms of TV shows, toys and video games. 👍
My parents bought me a Super Nintendo on Christmas ‘92 because I wanted TMNT 4. Came with Super Mario World as a pack in and I remember being stoked
Never been this early before. Love the videos brings a lot of nostalgia from my childhood
I was hoping you'd appreciate it.
I really loved the TMNT 2012 show on Nickelodeon it have some funny moments and dark moments
it was totally rad and great quality for a weekly show
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.
The 8 year old version of me thanks you for this video. Excuse me while I go play tmnt 3 on nes, finally.
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!!!!!
12:21 You actually made me cry
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.
Kudos to Hyperstone Heist for having a run button separate from the attack buttons.
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.
@@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.
@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.
@@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.
Never noticed that all those games were released in a 5-year period. Amazing.
Great video. It really brought childhood/teenager memories.
I had never thought about it like that, either. But then again, technology was advancing so rapidly, that even just a year or two made a huge difference... So maybe it just felt longer.
Turtles in Time & Fall of the Foot Clan are my absolute favorites!!! What a time to be kid! 💚🐢🎮
This video really hits home how many turtles games zoom down from a city skyline onto a man hole on their title screens
This was fun! Small nitpicking: The Amiga and C64 were not "micro-PCs", they were microcomputers. The PC itself is a microcomputer.
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).
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.
@@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.
Topics like this is why I love your channel. Thank you for this.
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.
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.
Those Tiger Electronics were the worst. I knew it when I was 4 and I know it now. I was so happy when my brother and I got that Nomad for Christmas when I was 5.
I remember playing the TMNT Nintendo game...in my TMNT pajamas...eating my TMNT cereal...out of my TMNT bowl on a Saturday morning, Life was Good. 🐢🍕
Thank you for all that you do Sega lord X I’m a Sega guy myself master system genesis cd 32x saturn Dreamcast
I'm a big tmnt fan and yeah they got a lot of great games in the past
Dude I love your channel , feel like you are my spirit animal …. Every time u put out a new vid it’s so freaking nostalgic … thanks 🙏
Awesome video man, you always have great content.
I appreciate that!
I watched all the movies in the theatres, and bought TMNT 2 Arcade Game for my NES, still love the 80s turtles, and watch it to this day, nothing against the newer iterations, they are good in their own right, but nothing beats the 80s tmnt for me
TMNT tournament fighters is criminally underrated. He undersells it, IMO. It is a very good fighter for sure. I personally think it can go toe-to-toe with Street Fighter on the SNES.
I had it on the Megadrive and played it more than SF2
@@darkchild130 Interesting. I should play that version. I only ever played the SNES version.
Being born in '82, my brother (born in '83) and I didn't become fully aware of TMNT until '89, and that was the same year we got an NES with...TMNT.
I fixed my Wiiu up and can play all these with my sons. Dream come true.
Thanks Mate, this games are my childhood, turtle power!
Who remembers those Late 80s early 90s Ninja Turtle pies with the pudding inside?
Didn't they also have some kind of green drink at the time kind of like the slimer ecto cooler Hi-C or whatever it was?!
@@JohnDoe-wq5eu Yeah I believe so. Some type of ooze drink.
I absolutely loved TMNT on the NES. I must've been about 6 or 7.
I still remember that music lol
My first turtle game was TMNT the hyperstone heist on mega drive, i remember my uncle let me and my brother play it on his mega drive and we had a lot of fun.
Sadly nowdays i mostly play it by myself because my brother hates retro games
It's still great single player at least!
My older brother and I used to beat that and streets of rage 1 every damn weekend lol
Are you Japanese? Or do you mean Teenage Mutant HERO Turtles?
@@Carsonj13 Nope, Ninja: in Italy we never used the HERO in the name. It always was Tartarughe Ninja
In the US we called em ninja turtle as well.
I was like 5 or 6 when I play Turtles of Time on the SNES and I rented it from Blockbuster so many times because it so much replay value.
The TMNT beat em ups are still damn good. Go, Donatello! 😂
Turtles 2 and Showbiz Pizza/Chuck E. Cheese went together like peanut butter and jelly back in the day.
Those were the days when fun was at its best. When life was just simple and gaming was just just fun factor. Thank you for brining me down that memory lane again. I love it. Sometimes it just makes me wanna cry😭
Who here has actually made it through TMNT NES with all 4 Turtles alive? That game is impossibly hard!
I had a buddy that could crush it. No joke.
This game and ghost n goblins used to make me rage quit as a child ...lol
You just need to stock up on scrolls. Theres a spot you can farm them about halfway through the game.
Up up down down..A B AB...select start!!! Lol
I did. It's hard
Turtles in Time is still my favorite game almost 30 years later. Can't wait for Shredder's Revenge!
This video made my day! Thanks Sega Lord X. Are you going to do a special video for 100k subs?
I'm working on a small celebration video. Nothing extravagant.
You just made my week-end! Merci beaucoup
Thanks for watching it!
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. Good times back then!
This was posted 4 hours ago. 7.5k views. Good for you sega lord x 🙏🙌👏
Way to develop a solid following
I remember playing the first TMNT game on MSX around 1990-91 and never touched the franchise again until the SNES, in 1993. That's how bad the game was on the MSX.
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
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.
This guy gets it. Make it happen, Konami!
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.
exactly what I wanted to see...bring me back to the good old days brother
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.
I really enjoyed this episode, thanks for the trip down memory lane! I’d love to see you do a segment on the donkey Kong country series for the SNES 😎
I'm an 80s kid and you can bet that I grew up watching TMNT. Got the toys, clothing, blankets just about anything of the turtles. My first turtles game was definitely the NES game hard game but it took me time to beat it especially I was 8 years old back then. Been playing all the turtles games since then. Very excited for Shredder's Revenge this year.
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.
I hope Konami can work out a deal with Nickelodeon and release a collection like they did with Contra and Castlevania.
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.
Even the 2nd Nintendo game threw in two unique new levels and boss battles to help extend the game.
Can’t wait for « Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Shredder’s Revenge » by DotEmu. The same studio that developed Street of Rage 4 😍😍😍
With the OpenBOR game engine right?
@@eppskevin no
TMNT was such a huge part of my childhood. These games really bring it back for me. Thank you
*the first turtles arcade game brings back so many memories. I went to America/Florida for the first time in 1990 and they had it in the hotel's arcade and I used to go there after the buffet breakfast. I remember when i died i ran back to the restaurant "mum, dad, nanny, nanna quickkkkk! I need quarters now im winning quick quick!!" and used to peg it back there before the countdown timer ran out. aaaahh good, times! I miss the the 80s and 90s like crazy*
Trying to describe the arcades of the '80s and '90s to people who weren't around for them is damn near impossible. I can't imagine another time when giant arcade machines were literally everywhere every possible conceivable place they could be, they were. It was a time unlike any other before it or since it and I do miss it greatly too.
Arcades that you see today or nothing like they used to be.
Even places in Japan are closing that's how you know the era really is over now.
@@JohnDoe-wq5eu tell me about it. My Gf has no idea about stuff when I try to tell her about stuff. lol different generation! Yeh its sad to see places go like that. Sometimes you really wanna like have a trip out to the past and see all those places and see the stuff in the shops form back then. It saddens me so much that it can never happen. ive always dreamed of having enough money to open like holiday parks not where there are rides and that, but in different periods of time, liek the 80s area. where you could walk around the arcades and go to shops and see all the old foods and toys on display. watch old tv with the old adverts and that! ahhh, shame itll never happen lol. Yeah with the arcades now. just crap. we still have a lot her ein Thailand but a lot of Japanese machines and most games are silly things drums, dance stuff and win a cuddly toy. those places dont bring back nostalgia at all lol.
You are not lying about that comment in regards to TMNT II the arcade game for NES, that game tied me and my brother together significantly, I have many great memories of this game and SoR 2 for Genesis and they all involve me and my brother spending time together sitting down and kicking butt on our old CRT tv.
Great trip down memory lane!
This was a quality video mate! Absolutely loved watching this and reminiscing about TMNT! So good! 👍🏼👌🏼
You absolutely MUST check the fangame "TMNT: Rescue-Palooza!" by Merso X. It's inspired by the NES games, but with 4 player support and 60 playable characters to unlock.
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?
I love TMNT since I was a kid
Love ALL the TMNT Games (minus the Gameboy games because I never played them). The first three are my favourite because they are the most nostalgic for me. It brings me back to a time when I had friends and feelings :)
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.
One of my favorite channels. SEGA forever. Miss their hardware days.
Ahh my childhood in a nutshell from like 6 to 11 my whole life revolved around TMNT ty SLX for being back some long forgotten memories. Been battling cancer for a bit now. It’s nice to go back to a happy time.
This brings back some great memories. Thank you for the great video also you are so close to 100k subs congrats.
Got my "Hyperstone Heist" in my Genesis right now...
Great game.
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.
I dont care what anyone says today, we were all lucky as shit Konami brought TMNT arcade to NES and made it awesome too, such a important game that gets harshly shit on today because of modern criteria
Nostalgic childhood memories! Cowabunga!!!🐢🐢🐢🐢🐀
Yeah, it was definitely a fun ride while it lasted. The late 80s to the mid '90s were a great time to be a TMNT fan. 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.

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.
These games were pretty much my time spent playing them after school or on the weekend Soo much nostalgia with those turtle games
Same here. I played the NES Arcade game all day everyday till i beat it
I've loved the Turtles since I was a kid. I grew up on the 2003 series and the games. But after playing the original arcade game, that instantly became my favorite TMNT game.
Hyperstone Heist was my personal favorite. Having a sprint button instead of having to double stick made it feel so much better to play.
I would gladly play $60 for a Konami tmnt collection for the Nintendo switch
I played several of these Turtle games back in the day with my cousins.
We had so much fun back in the nineties.
Great times... Dear nostalgia
