    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) was one of those games that many kids wanted growing up in the 80's. It had the characters, the action, the look, the sound and even the pizza...or did it? Well let's find out how they screwed this one up.
    In this episode the Nerd plays one of his childhood games to re-live the torment that is TMNT for the NES. He tries his best at fighting, jumping and swimming his way to defeat the insidious Shredder. Teased by out of reach pizza, taunted by impossible jumps, enraged by electric seaweed, what could possibly go wrong?
    TMNT was released in 1989 on the Nintendo Entertainment System and developed by Konami. The game is centered on platforming action in which the player has to go through a series of Castlevania like levels to complete the game. As per Turtles fashion pizza restores life points and getting hit by enemies decreases it. Getting hit enough times knocks out the Turtle so the player has to select another until all 4 Turtles are dead.
    Released under Konami's Ultra Games brand, TMNT was a successful game but lacked overall quality, with glitches and unusual game design. However, due its success the game managed to get a sequel, TMNT 2, but that was a port of the original Arcade game however.

      Definitely not the best NES game but far from bad either. I'd say it's one of the better ones. The thing about the AVGN is, it's in the name, right? He is the *angry nerd*. All those game critics and everything should be taken with a grain of salt.

      It’s just like what AVGN said about the Atari 2600. Even though stuff like the 5200 (aka the new episodes) tried to replace the 2600 (the old episodes), they failed and that old dusty 2600 lived on.

Was no internet back then. I was looking up the Japanese TMNT OVA, and came across your video. Now I'm hooked and debating if I should go back and play it. It's crap, yet I own it and haven't beaten it. Thanks for making your videos.

    There's a speed run of this here on UA-cam. It was done to raise money, and the gentleman that did it was really impressive, if maybe a little nerdy. For the sewer jumps, he explained that there are three distinct jumps one can do. He talked about how all of the turtles attacks actually hit enemies behind them(besides Ralph, who is basically a sacrificial lamb). He knew the spawns of the game, and how to generate which enemy spawn set. He knew the percentage odds of reaching the Technodrome depending on which sewer pipe you go down, and he knew of alternative things to do when attempting a world record(which I think he owns). It was fun to see someone fully dissect one of my favorite childhood games.
