Ninja Turtles Out In The UK (Apart from....) READ!

[jasonorme666]

Ok, well, ive been waiting for this game since I first heard of its development, and finally it gets to the day its being released, i goto town, and what do I see.

X-box, PS2 and PC... NO GAMECUBE!!!!

I could get it for either of the others, but I wanted it for the gamcube, now i either have the choice of buying it on somthing else, although from reviews I have read the graphics on the gamecube are the best, dispite the X-box being loads more powerful.

I was really really looking forward to this, infact me dream last night was about getitng the game, and Now!! I dont have it..

Im starting to loose faith in Konami, what use to be my favourite company, is starting to become a company I hate.

[jasonorme666]

Screw it, im not messing around anymore, im just gonna get it on X-box.

How bad can it be?

I will be playing it in about 2 hours.


Ok, i just got some info midway while I was typing this.

"Gamecube version is out today but isnt avaiable from shops as they carnt get any in as they are selling out so fast before they even reach the store"

I first played the game on PS2, and then bought it for Gamecube. I love how the controller is setup on the Gamecube for this game. The graphics look similar on all systems, but I think the GC graphics are a bit better. I don't know a thing about the Xbox version.

[Dinny]

I was told that the Gamecube release date was held back, and they don't know if or when it will come out for Gamecube.

I was so disappointed and pissed off, NO F**KING GameCube version.
That didn't stop me though, I bought an X-Box 3 game bundle and got TMNT separate.
I really want to get my hands on Driver 3 and Ninja Gaiden, so I was going to buy An X-Box anyway, just a little earlier than I thought.
I played TMNT for a few hours tonight and it's good but not great, the graphics are cool though.
Konami should have included way more moves and combo's, as well as some Streets Of Rage 2 type super moves, that would have made it much better.
Also it's a bit silly the way some enemies appear from nowhere, instead of walking/running or jumping in to the on screen action.
So far I'd give it a 6.5/10
No matter what score the games mags gave TMNT, I was getting it anyway like most fans.

[jasonorme666]

Ok, Konami Of Europe got back to me, they said due to shipping problems that TMNT on Gamecube will be released on 30th.


As for my progress on the game, ive completed it with Michelangelo, and I'm about half way through with Raph.

Ive unlocked all but 6 of the Art gallaery pics.

And Im just missing 4 of Mickies.

I just wish there was a way that you knew what ones ure missing on what level,

[Jonatello]

The GC version is selling the best.
159,741 sold in just 2 months

[Jonatello]

thats for US

[MikesPizzaShack]

cant u just some how import the american ver of it then?

[jasonorme666]

Well i have it for the X-box now, as for importing, you need a Region hack since in the Us its NTSC and Pal in the UK.

[MTN889]

No use in buying it for 2 systems...

[PizzaPower]

i have PS2 version and i love it. It is selling pretty good here as well. Ps2 version has all the features as Gamecube version does.

Yeah, on the PS2, developpers don't assume the gamers are stupid little kids who take a break from playing Pokemon...So they give us a little extra challenge. Long live the PS2!!

Welll TMNT on gamecube got to #2 in the game charts.
