so at least we know we will get the Konami NES/SNES games :D
wouldn't mind another one soon to cash in on the movie, hoped they had started with turtles in time,


hopefully with music intact unlike the arcade ports.

Well that's pretty good news! I'm not a very big fan of the first TMNT game, but if that means its sequels will probably be on their way in the near future, then I'm all for it.

[gobo]

I hope they put out the Genesis game. The Hyperstone Heist was awesome, a conglomeration of what made the Nintendo TMNT games so fun. And, Sega's Tournament Fighters I want on VC just because I could never get the room to play right. Plus, I'm just interested in checking out all the obscure parts of my fandom. I luz me some rarities. ^_^

[ThemanthatwouldbeRaphael]

Awesomely Radical dudes.

[Hitsuji]

Of course... all that games never arrive to Spain (except for "Turtles in Time").... Aggghhhhhh, Maybe when the new movie hit the theaters they'll sell all that stuff.... I wish!!! ;___;

Sometimes I hate this place... TT_TT

[Kendamu]

When is this happening?

[Ninja Tiptup]

I'm thrilled at this news. We might get Turtles in Time that includes the original music now. But they might be releasing TMNT 1 specifically becuase it's the most "Konami made" of the old games. So because it doesn't include music based on the 80's cartoon they shouldn't have any need to replace the music (which is great of course but not as good as the TMNT IV music).

Also we can surely thank the new movie for getting Konami interested in bringing this to the VC.

And I do believe TMNT is the first licensed based game on the VC. Which also rocks in it's own way. Power to the TMNT turtle fans! Hopefully it will be the first of many.

[Kendamu]

If we do get games without the old music in the future, I hope more effort is put into it than the port of the original arcade game. That had like two tunes and no voice overs.

As long as the alternate music has some quality behind it I'll live. Otherwise I'll still play the VC versions but I'll also keep my ROMs handy.

I think they ought to release a game with all the 90s tmnt games on one disc.

This could include:

TMNT
TMNT: The Arcade Game (NES version with upgraded graphics and Arcade version)
TMNT III: The manhatten project upgraded.
TMNT: TiT (SNES and Arcade)
YMNT: Hyperstone Heist.
All the game boy and game gear games

Unlockables: All 3 versions of Tournament fighters

That would be effin sweet.

Why the upgraded graphics? Those games were classics in their own right -- I wouldn't want to see them tampered with. It just wouldn't be the same.

Definately!! Would also love that. As have gotten various Collections like that (such-as the Mega Man Anniversary Collection, Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition, etc.) and it's been great getting to do those old games again.

[Kendamu]

I wouldn't mind the NES one with upgraded graphics... It'd be like that Mega Man game on PSP.

However, as it is only an 8-bit game there's no doubt that they could fit the original with original graphics on a disc along with the other games.

[Sanjuro]

While this is good news, I think everyone would agree with me here arcade perfect ports w/online multiplayer would be sex.

[Ninja Tiptup]

Tampering with them would be an awful shame but using the arcade graphics for TMNT II and III would be wicked sweet none the less.

I was thinking an arcade perfect port of TMNT and TiT for the DS with Wi-Fi would be killer (with unlockable TMNT GB games) but as for the console port.

I just thought besides having all the games some bonus features would be nice.

That would be pretty awesome. Factor in a decent presentation (decent menu screens with music, graphics, etc.) and, like you said, some special features documenting the history of the TMNT and the games, and I'm sold.

[gobo]

Even as-is, I'm sold. ^_^

What I wouldnt do for that exact set on consoles...or even on psp...it would force me to buy one. Also, not that it really matters, but I believe the second tmnt game for gameboy was titled "Back To the Sewers, as opposed to "Return to the sewer"

[sdp]

so, gaming sites like ign/kotaku/gonintendo are reporting TMNT II : The arcade game is coming out soon for the VC.


yeah the XBLA version is already out with online however I grew up with the NES version not to mention it has more levels, can't wait for it. hopefully this means TMNT III. also we could get all 3 versions (nes, snes, genesis) versions of the tournament fighters..

I have a Wii and have downloaded this as well. It's just too bad you can't save and load anytime you want, like in emulation/ROMs. :)

Actually, I've found a way to 'pause and continue'. Just activate the returning to Wii Menu while playing, and it will halt at the point you're at. Then can continue from there next time you go to the game (it's worked on other games I have gotten from VC, at least).

Yes, that's true. The suspend mode works for basically all the games. I find that to be very nice when playing games like TMNT. It's nice to start where you left off, almost like saving really even though the games themselves didn't have save points. TMNT II: The Arcade Game will be the same way once it's put up on the Shop Channel for Wii.

Yes, it is quite a good feature.

I ended up finding out about it rather by accident, too... :D
