Ah, not many know about this gem! If only there had been more games. More accessible ones.

Man if Usagi had been marketed right he could have been as big as Turtles. I have a feeling Stan chose not to because he wanted full creative control over his character.

Nope, Ninjimister, if wasn't known to me. This is the first I've ever heard of it. Maybe somebody shared its existence on the Technodrome Forums in the past, but, if so, I must have missed it.

On a semi-related note (Usagi in video games), I know Usagi appeared in the console/PC version of TMNT 2: Battle Nexus (as an oppenent in Battle Nexus mode), but did he appear in the Game Boy Advance version of that game?
Aside from being mentioned at the official UY site and the UY Wiki page, I don't see the game getting much publicity. We've very briefly mentioned it on here, so I'm not surprised that it's news to a lot of people.

Not that I recall.

heh that game would have been great, its got that great retro look to it.
They did try to make an Usagi cartoon, but Fox shot it down.Why they hanged Usagi's voice from his 80's voice is beyond me.(i think his 80's voice was always best)And yes this is where the toy comes from lol

The toy derives from the comic, which is what the show is based on.

When Usagi was under Mirage studios, Stan made a Space Usagi story arc.

The guy who wrote it is working on a TMNT article for HG101.

this looks really cool and looks like it would be really fun to play, it really sucks that it never came out for NES or SNES.
