Favorite TMNT Game?

What's your favorite TMNT Game

[pannoni1]

This belongs in the Video Game section. Also, it's Turtles IV: Turtles in Time, not II, which is indisputably the most favorited game in TMNT history, which was my vote.

[rav4ge]

Dude, Turtles in Time hands-down. I'd be genuinely surprised if someone thought differently.

[Genesis]

It's Turtles IV: Turtles in Time, not II.It was IV in the Nintendo console line. It was the second arcade game, though, so in that sense, he's right.

[Jephael]

I voted for the original arcade game!

[Genesis]

None of the Game Boy games makes this list somewhat lacking.

[Darth Knuckles]

I really liked the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game on the arcade but my vote has to go to for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles In Time on the arcade. It was the best arcade and TMNT arcade experience for me. I actually got to work together with other people to defeat a game. Being an only child, that was a unique experience for me. And there were the times where it was just me and my dad playing the game by ourselves. Good times. :tgrin:

[shihe]

My list so far goes something like this:

******************************
(OT) TMNT IV: Turtles in Time (Snes)
******************************

And then:
(OT) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (original arcade)
(OT) TMNT: Hyperstone Heist
(OT) TMNT: Turtles in Time (Arcade)
(Ubi) TMNT Smash Up (gotta love Brawler action)
(Ubi) TMNT Turtles in Time Re:Shelled
(OT) TMNT2: The Arcade Game
(4kids) TMNT1 (GBA)
(Ubi) TMNT Movie (GBA)
(OT) TMNT: Tournament Fighters (Genesis)
(OT) TMNT: Tournament Fighters (Snes)
(OT) TMNT 1 (Nes)
(OT) TMNT 3: Manhattan Project
(4kids) TMNT1 (GCN)
(4kids) TMNT2 Battle Nexus (GCN)
(OT) TMNT 1 Rise of the Foot Clan (gb)
(OT) TMNT 3 Radical Rescue (gb)
(OT) TMNT 2 Back from the Sewers (gb)
(4kids) TMNT 3: Mutant Nightmare (NDS)
(4kids) TMNT 2: Battle Nexus (GBA)
(Ubi) TMNT: Arcade Attack

----

Still have to play:
(4kids) TMNT 3 Mutant Nightmare (GCN)
(4kids) TMNT Mutant Melee
(Ubi) TMNT: The game (PS2/PS3/Wii/360)

[Genesis]

Turtles in Time (SNES)
Radical Rescue
Tournament Fighters (SNES)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES)
Mutant Nightmare (GCN, not that there's any difference)
TMNT (360)

Those are the ones I prefer to play in my spare time. I own Hyperstone Heist and the Genesis Tournament Fighters, and I'm certainly not adverse to playing Back from the Sewers, Arcade Attack, The Arcade Game, et cetera.

I hate and would prefer to avoid Smash-Up, and though I haven't ever played Mutant Melee, I'm not in any hurry to give it a shot. Pretty sure Smash-Up and the DS TMNT are the only Turtles games I expressly hate.

[Walkabout]

SNES Turtles In Time or the original 89 arcade.

[FoxZerro]

My vote on your list went to the original 1989 Arcade game. That game was amazing back in the day. I remember having a group of people I would play it with down at the arcade. The rumours that flew around about how you had to fight the technodrome or how there was an awesome cinematic that played where Raph and Mike disabled the wheels and Leo cut a hole in the side then Donnie used his Bo to knock in the wall. There was just such a culture surrounding it where I would go to play it and it was amazing to be a part of it.

Unfortunately, when Turtles in Time came out the only place that had it was this local video store called Paradise Video, we would go every Friday and I would be given one quarter, and I couldn't continue. Nobody cared at the store there was no sense of unity about playing the game, it would just be me alone playing the game beating Baxter and then dying in Alleycat Blues. I remember one night when a guy was playing and I saw him get to the end of Sewer Surfin' and saw why the game was call Turtles in Time. It was a huge shock to me. Luckily I eventually got it on SNES so I was able to experience it in all its glory. Though best memory from that is from high school where me and my friend Mikey D. played through on Normal and beat it in 25 minutes then me and my friend Rusty played through on Hard and beat it in 23. That was a fun night.

This post is already a rant but my favorite Turtles game was not a part of the poll. I have always loved TMNT III: The Manhattan Project. Just the unification of so many different parts of Turtle Lore and the difficulty was great. Though I still remember how disappointed I was when I realized the Triceratons were a lie.

[Victorsaurus]

I voted for: Turtles in Time.
Too bad it was never released on the Wii virtual console, I used to check everyday until they took out the TMNT NES game out a few months ago.

[MikeandRaph87]

Its a two way tie and neither are listed. I love Manhatten Project(NES) and Turtles In Time(SNES) because of the villain lineups and the levels. The abilities and graphics are both bonus attractions to these CLASSIC video games. Ninja Turles have not done better in video games and I hope one day they will. Heck,its hard to top these two gameplays!

[chrisdude]

Turtles in Time, for sure. Or Hyperstone Heist, the SEGA Genesis version I grew up playing.

But I liked the whole 4kids GBA/DS series. I still play Fall of the Foot Clan for Game Boy. The TMNT movie game for Game Boy Advance, I feel, was largely missed, but is probably my second favorite.

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

Voted for the original arcade game based on what's listed.

However, my all time favorite is Manhattan Project. Someone else has pointed out all of the villians that make appearances as bosses and mini-bosses.

Plus it wasn't quite as "Nintendo Hard" as the other games, so when I was young I could get pretty far in it without Game Genie.

[Brockon21]

Although it may not be popular, I really liked Mutant Nightmare. I loved the shorter missions and the whole beat-em up gameplay. But, I still have Manhattan Project in my heart as my all-time favorite. :)

[TMNT_Guy]

How the heck could you not add "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: The Manehattan Project" to the list?

Seriously, if haven't played it then you really need to.

[HeavyMetalCarebear]

I still love the original.

Forever and ever <3

[Spitfire]

I still love the original.

Forever and ever <3

Before I read the poll I thought you meant the NES one. I've owned that game almost my entire life and I still haven't beat it.

My favorite is Turtles in Time, I refuse to abbreviate it...anyways I love the way it looks, sounds, and controls. It's pretty awesome. Played the hell out of it as a kid, first game I bought with my own money. Surprised my cart still works, fingers crossed.

You know Battle Nexus wasn't a bad modern TMNT game and while we're on the subject the TMNT movie game for GBA was pretty decent too.

[HeavyMetalCarebear]

I did mean the NES one but I clicked the wrong button up there.

Fail.


If someone could change the vote, that would be awesome. If not, oh well, it was meant for the NES one.

[Yep It's A Trap]

I can't get enough of the original Arcade game and Turtles in Time. Although Fall of the Foot Clan for the original gameboy holds a special place too just for its strong nostalgic influence and the fact that I played the hell out of that game.

[Godzilla]

TMNT The Arcade Game

Can't even imagine how many quarters I fed this thing during my youth. :oops: :D

[DonatelloDomeHead31]

Went with Turtles in Time for the Arcade...though I still keep my debate about Slash in the SNES version.

Slash Vs. Clayman...I wonder who would win that battle??? :D

[markberry]

my favs are Turtles in Time and The Classic Arcade version that i always played at Showbiz (aka Chuckie Ckeese)

[Mintyfresh]

For me its defiantly turtles in time.

[actionnate]

Turltes in time

I honestly have not played a TMNT game since TMNT 2007

[NiNi]

I like Turtles in Time and TMNT Tournament Fighters basing on classics. The 2003 series turtles I like Mutant Nightmare and Mutant Melee.

But basing on those if I had to pick the top favorite - I would say Turtles in Time. Mostly because when I was a kid, my brother and I played it at the arcade and we beat it. X3

[TurtleTitan97]

TMNT the arcade game is my favorite because it was the first TMNT game I played as a kid. :)

[Mzx10484]

TOURNAMENT FIGHTERS !! Was my first Turtles game on the SNES, CYBER SHREDDER RULES !! Maybe I would vote for the great TURTLES IN TIME, but unfortunately didn't have the pleasure to own it.... played it later on ZSNES ...

[ctt4lfecw]

I have to go with TMNT 2 Arcade game. But I really like Manhattan Project because it has Groundchuck and Dirtbag. The first one was great as a side scroller, and I was able to beat it. And I love T.i.T because it has Rat King in it.

[plasticturtle]

The original arcade game is my favorite. The memories I have of playing it can't be topped! Honorable mentions go to Turtles In Time for SNES and Fall Of The Foot Clan for Game Boy.

[Garfield]

TMNT tournament fighters due to nostalgia and the fact that I have an affinty towards fighting games, but Turtles in TIme is probably the best game. I like that one too.

[shuriken]

Manhatten Project. But it isn't there so I won't vote. Plus this is like the umpteenth thread about favorite video games.

[frank_one]

I know a lot of people hate it but I have great memories of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: Radical Rescue. I've always liked the ending where you have to beat all the bosses again and then you fight with Cyber Shredder.. two times!

[Shredder.]

Hard to choose but I'm gonna say Battle Nexus.

[Theli]

What about the Gameboy and other DS Games ?

[Pachira]

”Turtles in Time ’’ ... This one!
In Japan 1991, 9 years old girl was bought SFC soft release day!! :tlol:

[Theli]

I just try to finish The Arcade game on the NES but is hard as ****. Its is harder than turtles in time if you ask me.. theres lesser moves, but i like the way they do scene in this game to make it feel more dynamic.. Like in Bebops level where you can go down a street. Pretty amazing for a side(!)scroller. I can't remember turtles in time had this.

[NinjaMan]

The original Arcade game. I remember the first time I saw it as a kid and was surprised to see so many grown men playing it lol.

[Cipher]

I just try to finish The Arcade game on the NES but is hard as ****. Its is harder than turtles in time if you ask me..
It's definitely harder than Turtles in Time. The original Konami series gets easier with each entry.

Turtles II on the NES is almost as hard as the infamous first game, in my opinion. I don't think I'll ever beat it, especially without a second player.

One vote for Turtles in Time, by the way. Still the best after all these years.

[Yorae]

I voted for the 2007 game, only because its the only one I've played!

I would love seeing a TMNT console game in the same style as Dark Horizons though!

[Icebot]

My favorite is TMNT 2: Battle Nexus. I like how you can explore so many different places.

I think my second favorite is the first arcade game.

[prez]

I spent so many quarters playing the original arcade game in the mall when I was a kid! That's my vote, I hope to play it with my daughter when she gets older!

[Bocce]

NES ftw

[Zulithe]

Lots of love for the arcade games! I'm glad the fandom is mostly of the same mind on this -- they are classics.

I hope we have some good TMNT games coming down the pipe based on the Nick show.

I will always be fond of the original NES game for nostalgic reasons but it's a pretty bad game when you examine it :P But I do love the graphic, music, and a few iconic things about it such as the overworld with the turtle van and some of the levels such as the super rage-inducing underwater electric seaweed area D:

[Shark_Blade]

I won't vote. You forgot these two games!!!

TMNT 2

Turtles in time for the win! Best tmnt game ever!

[Triceraton Jones]

I've got a lot of love for all the old games arcade, NES, Megadrive and Gameboy and I often re-play them. But TMNT movie game was so much fun (really easy, but very fun). Its just running around on rooftops for a lot of the game, its just really enjoyable controlling a turtle running and jumping around rooftops. But in my opinion the first game based on the 4Kids series is an amazing game with so much playability to it and the difficulty just keeps ramping up the further you get into it, I played that game for months a thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. Although maybe not a popular choice and my nostalgia wants me to choose differently I'm going with 2003 TMNT for the PS2.

[Gwydion]

I too actually wanted to vote for The Manhattan Project, but I went for the original arcade game since it wasn't as option. I never got the chance to play Turtles in Time - we didn't go to arcades much, and our family skipped straight from the NES to the N64. I'd love the chance to play it, but it'd feel weird doing so alone - I was never a great gamer, so I would usually play with my brother (he didn't like playing the one where you could steal lives because he'd have, like, 3 left when I died, so I'd always steal one, haha).

[Nameless]

for me, and it is mostly nostalgia, its the Turtles 2 :the arcade game for the NES. i wasted hours upon hours playing this game and can beat it no problem now (at least i think i can, it has been awhile). i still have my original copy of this game.

[Slade]

Tournament fighters. I played the s**t out if that game but a very very close second would be Turtles in Time

[BabyTurtles]

darn.....I wish I could have played some of these games...they sound cool... :(
