Gonna be a big year for Turtles. Not only is there a collection coming, a significant one as long as KONAMI doesn't ruin it, and then others are handling a new turtles game. Think some days my nerve damage may be well enough I can enjoy it a bit. I wont be what I use to be, but might as well try and get some time in while I still can.
Hi, Top Hat Gaming Man. In a future video, you should definitely do a review of the 2007 video game adaptation of TMNT, which is based on the 2007 animated film of the same name. Please?
This game holds up surprisingly well, even better if you’re the type to pick up on subtle gameplay elements to get more out of games cause this game opens up hard when you learn that you can dash cancel out of everything which leads to infinites on most of the regular enemies and some nasty damage dealing strategies against bosses, I had way more fun with the game on my revisit than I did when I played it way back then because of that and I loved the game back then.
The last turtles game I played was on the ps2, and it was dope as hell. I'm salivating for the two upcoming turtles releases. Shredders Revenge, and the anniversary collection.
@@B33FY2011 Buy the physical "Streets of rage 4 anniversary edition" PS4 version and play it on your PS5, its dirt cheap now and has all the dlc included I'm saying this as the dlc is probably among the very best ive experienced. The "survival" mode which feel more like a Rouge like type of experience where you unlock a bunch of alternative/special moves for literally all characters , while tackling new locations and enemies (with new music) exclusive to that mode is extremely addictive and fun, plus playing with Shiva, Estelle and Max is an experience in itself.
I used to play this game a lot, both on my own PS2 and on my nephew’s GameCube. I managed to finally finish it using Raph (my favorite character back then).
The jump to 3D with TMNT is interesting. I liked the art style, but definitely agree with the in game banter. Loved the reboot series, game was fun too. I only rented but never finished due to some funky in game save data bug
I remember renting this from the video store(Hollywood Video) for GameCube back in the day, I loved it. This era of turtle animation wasn't my favorite at the time but I think it looks great now, especially compared to the bubbly, cutesy Turtles of today(they look super lame now)
Wait, I thought Raphael was 'Rembrandt'. Anyway, for what it's worth, this game is A decent enough (if repeditive) brawler. Though it would've been nice if it had 4 player co-op. However, the other two games would have that, but the second game implements it awkwardly. As well as some platforming that doesn't work. The third one at least gets the 4 player co-op right, but by that point, it was too little, too late.
Rembrandt is Rembrandt. He was a completely different person from any of the artists the ninja turtles are named after. I have no idea why THGM even said it. Side note: turtles are reptiles, not amphibians. Amphibians undergo metamorphosis to become adults, reptiles do not.
This the 2003 video game was a really good game. It was a great update and and really fun to play. I for one love playing through the storyline of whole season of the show and Konami still managed to keep it fresh with new twists and turns. These games are just as good as the DCAU Batman and Superman games that were made around that time. Unfortunately nostalgia derailed the sequels. The 2003 game was the only one in the series that didn't play to nostalgia. Battle Nexus and Mutant Nightmare altered the controls to make them more like the 1989 arcade game and Turtles in Time respectively. It think that was really bad for Battle Nexus. The 2003 game the only one with really good character moves. I guess people just could get over the old games. A shame.
Looking forward to the new TMNT game Shredder’s Revenge. I’ve been dreaming of a game that’s more of a sequel to Turtles in Time than the 3D games. Looking forward to Top Hat reviewing it once it’s out
Great vid, but….. ?! Is Donatello called “Rembrandt” in Europe or the UK? That’s a difference I wasn’t expecting. I can’t wait to see your full review of Shredder’s Revenge. When it releases, please consider giving your opinion on it. I know it’ll be a new game, but it is retro styled. And I very much respect your opinion. Thanks for the vid, gnarly dude!!!
The only issue i have with this game is that player 2 is not allowed to progress in any way. There are training levels where you can unlock new moves and abilities for each turtle, and even if you have unlocked them... player 2 cannot use them, now can player 2 enter the training levels to get them themselves. All the progress is for player 1 only, and total BS since it really holds back the multiplayer.
I used to owned this game for the Ps2, and as a TMNT fan from the 80s and 90s, I was excited about their return to videogames. At first glance, it looked, good, but after playing for a bit, I’ve found it to be extremely repetitive, and boring. It lacked the fast paced action and enemy variety from most of the previous games. I really tried to like this game, but I've ended up selling the game, even before finishing it. The DS Game was in my opinion, a far better effort.
I really liked this game. It started off so easy, and you easily racked up a bunch of extra lives. And then the later levels got BS hard, and sapped all those lives away. I never beat it.
Big Daddy Top Hat if you beat All four turtles stories you can fight Oroku Saki without his armor as a secret boss Hes much harder to fight You can also unlock Master Splinter for Story if yiu beat Oroku Saki. If you collect all scrolls you unlock Casey Jones
I had a green Konami TMNT handheld, never came across a tyger one. I remember seeing early footage of the 1st PS2 game in EB Games it was much darker like the 1990 movie.
Ive been playing this with my gf for a while now, still havent beaten it imo it is the second best split screen game for PS2, losing only to The Incredibles Rise of the Underminer It is quite hard but simple and looks amazing in 1080p
I just found my old copy of this game before I found this video in my recommended! unfortunately sense I thought I lost it I no longer have my GameCube to play so I need to get a new system so I can relive my nastolgia! my brothers and I used to play this game all the time as kids!
I'm kinda mad at kid me for getting over TMNT for Sonic when I played the PS2 because I never got to play the 2003 TMNT games! I would have loved them 😭 Time for some emulation!
Yeah the first one was my least favorite of the PS2 trilogy, as it was extremely repetitive. But the amount of content it offered was pretty impressive. I guess this one was a case of quantity over quality. I really liked the unbiased and reasonable review of it!
It amuses me that you still say "Rai-you" after all those SF deep dives years later, but said "Ree-oh" for the SNK character with nearly identical spelling. Edit: Was gonna ignore the "numb-chucks" bit, but then you seemed to go out of your way to say "shree-you-kens" for "shuriken". Why? Just why are you doing this to my weab-ish mind?
I played it on Xbox and I found it very boring, I think that instead of adding certain details that don't matter in the end, they would have made a less repetitive gameplay like the Gameboy Advance version, that was much more entertaining.
Why does the red sky season get so much flack they were actually good. Way better than seasons 2 through 7 anyway. The animation was better the story telling was better, and it got back to what made the 1st season so good. Sure it had its silly elements and moments but that's par for the course for TMNT
Played 2003 on the game cube emulator after a while felt it boring and repetitive , I loved the 2D arcade games it always had something new and exciting.
@@Launchpad05 I agree. Also the subsequent TMNT shows never quite captured the same feeling as 87 show for me - which probably led to me not enjoying the newer games as much.
@@RetroCrisis The original cartoon started out fine, but as it progressed, it got WAY too silly for it's own good despite having some clever jokes. By that point you couldn't take Shredder all that seriously, the schemes were getting too outlandish, and characters were constantly breaking the fourth wall. It tried to get a little more serious with the 'red sky' seasons, but it was too little, too late. So overall, despite it's huge success, the original was A mixed bag.
@@Launchpad05 The original started out great but after the first season or so it just went downhill. The last two seasons with Dregg...ugh. The animation or lack thereof was awful, didn't like that new kid or how April turned her back on the turtles. The second TMNT series was great but then they mucked it all up by doing that Fast Forward season. It wasn't the same after that.
I can't really explain why, but most games that made the jump from 2D to 3D i never bothered with again. Mario, Zelda lost all their charm when they stopped being 2D and i never really played any of their games after the SNES, i played and liked the 3D Turtles games only because of the IP, but none of those were as iconic or memorable as the 2D titles and the gameplay was just weak sauce. It feels like they jumped GENRES more so than dimensional planes with the jump to 3D.
Please talk bout dungeons & dragons:tower of doom & shadow over mystara arcade games,the bouncer & urban reign on ps2,mortal kombat shaolin monks,scott pilgrim vs the world game,dragon's crown,mighty morphin power rangers mega battle,revenge of the wounded dragons,& the fighting/beat em up hybrid pit fighter
the 2003 series was nutty, there were three Shredders: the OG Oroku Saki; a villainous Utrom Shredder named Ch'rell (the main baddie in the 2003 series); and an A.I. back-up of the Utrom Shedder called Cyber Shredder.

Top Hat: TMNT 2003
Me, an individual: 4Kids TMNT
This game holds up surprisingly well, even better if you’re the type to pick up on subtle gameplay elements to get more out of games cause this game opens up hard when you learn that you can dash cancel out of everything which leads to infinites on most of the regular enemies and some nasty damage dealing strategies against bosses, I had way more fun with the game on my revisit than I did when I played it way back then because of that and I loved the game back then.
The Rembrandt joke gave me a chuckle.
I don't care what anyone says I loved this Trilogy of 2003 TMNT Games
Only 2 player on a 4 player socketed system that only needed to spare gemoetry for two more turtles. The beginning of KONAMI starting to get stupid.
That was probably the beginning of what would lead to the 'Fuck Konami' era of the company.
The last turtles game I played was on the ps2, and it was dope as hell. I'm salivating for the two upcoming turtles releases. Shredders Revenge, and the anniversary collection.
Can't believe I missed this game, I didn't even know it existed. Time to get some emulator ROMs topped up.
Top Hat truly understands old school. 2D is a beat em up 3D is a brawler.
Back in the day, this ticked all the right boxes for me!
Getting ready for the Turtles comeback from dotemu devs. Their SOR4 was truly a great experience.
SOR4 was a great game. Wish I could play the Mr X DLC, but for some reason it won't for me on PS5.

Thank you for this review, I always thought I was weird for liking this game. Everyone was saying how bad it was.

I was unaware until today that there were TIGER TMNT handheld games... I was only aware of the KONAMI handhelds.
My only gripe with this game is the fact that you save your progress only when you finish an entire act.
my brother used to have this for his PS2. We would play all the time. I miss those days.
Looking forward to the new TMNT game Shredder’s Revenge. I’ve been dreaming of a game that’s more of a sequel to Turtles in Time than the 3D games. Looking forward to Top Hat reviewing it once it’s out

You mean the GBA port, right?
Think about covering one of the SUper Smash Bors.-style games, like Cartoon Network Punch-Time XL, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, and Multiversus.
Hey, Top Hat Gaming Man. How about you do a review video on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus?
Sweet now we're going to the 3d games
I've been thinking about DL this game... I just never thought it would be any good
I really liked this game. It started off so easy, and you easily racked up a bunch of extra lives. And then the later levels got BS hard, and sapped all those lives away. I never beat it.
this game is really fun, it was a good hack n slash for the time
TMNT games, a necessity for gracious living. Yeeeaaaahhhhh.
Anthropomorphic scallywags 😭💀
Finally! One of these that I own!
Using that wii shop music?
Bastard...my one weakness!
The mirage tmnt needs a game
Big Daddy Top Hat if you beat All four turtles stories you can fight Oroku Saki without his armor as a secret boss
Hes much harder to fight
You can also unlock Master Splinter for Story if yiu beat Oroku Saki. If you collect all scrolls you unlock Casey Jones
That tmnt 2003 game so damn difficult on the gc when i was a kid…😐so many memories throwing the controller 🤦
I had a green Konami TMNT handheld, never came across a tyger one.
I remember seeing early footage of the 1st PS2 game in EB Games it was much darker like the 1990 movie.
Why did you call Donatello rembrandt?
I know, right. That wasn't Raphael.
How many Kojimas did Konami hire??? And then subsequently fire, of course.
Ive been playing this with my gf for a while now, still havent beaten it
imo it is the second best split screen game for PS2, losing only to The Incredibles Rise of the Underminer
It is quite hard but simple and looks amazing in 1080p
I just found my old copy of this game before I found this video in my recommended! unfortunately sense I thought I lost it I no longer have my GameCube to play so I need to get a new system so I can relive my nastolgia! my brothers and I used to play this game all the time as kids!

There is a PC PORT

First one here love your content very well documented thank you for your hard and loving work Top Hat gaming man
I IDENTIFY as being the first person here, therefore I win !!! Identifying as something is more real than reality itself !!! 🤪
This is my favorite games teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles very good video host
This from the gamecube/ps2? Ver
Some co-OP is okay

Pretty much this.
Rembrant?
Did you call Donatello "Rembrandt"?
Ninja Turtles games lost it's magic for me after the 16bit era

Rembrandt????? who the fuck is Rembrandt????
Loved this game
Top 10 GameCube game
I struggle with this game without unlimited Ninja stars for Mikey. Lol hey did you cover TMNT 2007? The movie?
The Saudi government now has a 5% share of nintendo.
Better boycott LOL.
Rembrandt???? Clearly that's Donatello...but you knew that already Top.
Ironically Rob Paulsen would eventually voice Donatello for the 2012 series.
Rembrandt?!?!
You don't need gimmicks in your titles Mr. TopHat!!
Shedder is orku saki real name 💯
Hamto yoshi is master splinter
This game was too repetitive for me I didn’t get on with it at all
