Ninja Turtles III
 

I don't know about you guys but i would love to see this game updated. You know, better sprites more color,similar or better than TiT.:D

This game was very cool but NES was very limited.

I still love that game! By far one of my favorite TMNT games. I'd love to see it updated too.

This game had so many good stuff in it. The enemies were awesome.
Imagine it with modern colorful sprites and faster moves. I would kill to see that.

I had the game but my cartrige would freeze every time I got to like the 3rd or fourth level. I can't remember which one for sure but I remember getting so frustrated that I just stopped playing because it wasn't fun not to be able to get all the way through.

Oh sucks to hear that. Did you buy it new back then? or did you rent it?

I can't remember. I'm sure my parents bought it new for me.
How did the game end?

They should've sent it back. I had the same problem with Double Dragon. That bugged the hell out of me.

At the end of the game you beat the Shredder ( as usual ;)) and then Manhanttan returned to it's rightful place. Short ending but the game was alot of fun.

The villians were the main reason the game was good. So many mutants. Dirtbag was in this game if I remember correctly.

I vaguely remember this game...I would love to see it updated...ah, childhood...so many awesome NES games & SNES games to be had :)

Yes, Dirtbag and Groundchuck, two of the more obscure Turtles villains, acted as level bosses in TMNT III, which is my second favourite Turtles game, what with its superb graphics (the prettiest on the NES, in my opinion), great gameplay and awesome music. It doesn't beat The Arcade Game in my mind, but it's still a classic. And, not to mention, one of the hardest Turtles games in existence...I've owned it for fifteen years and have only managed to beat it once.

Damn that Super Shredder.

Oh yeah It was a tough one indeed. I remember how hard it was to beat Super Shredder but he wasn't as tough as the normal bosses. Oh I wish someone took the time at Konami and re-released this game.

Super Shredder is rough especially the first time cuz you beat Shredder with like 3 bars and you're like YAAAAAAAAA! Then it happens :tgrumble: I always liked how you could pump the special move when you had one bar left, Leo's ruled the most by far (the tornado spin if you don't remember). This might be from II but who the heck is the polar bear boss? I never could figure that out.

His name is Tora and yeah, he's from the second game. I don't think he was in the arcade version though.

Yep, he was a NES-only boss, featured in one of two NES-only levels.

Yeah, Tora and Shogun were two intergalactic bounty hunters Shredder hired in the NES version of TMNT 2.


I liked TMNT 3 over part 2. The arcade game was very poorly handled in the NES, I just thought it was super-uber-1337-awesome at the time. But TMNT 3 added some features the Arcade Game had that the NES version left out. Namingly, how each turtle's weapons actually had a different reach and how you can throw the foot soldiers (something the TMNT 2 NES version left out). Giving each turtle a different supermove also helped set them apart, plus, being able to switch turtle with every life was awesome as opposed to TMNT 2 that had you be forced to keep the same turtle throughout the entire game.

And of course, the bosses. I mean we had, Bebop, Rocksteady, Slash, Dirtbag, Groundchuck, Tokka, Rhazar, Shredder, Krang and Super Shedder. And things like Mousers, the Foot, Stone Warriors and even Fugitoids as regular enemies (the hell?). The game had alot of cool stuff, even going to a Foot manufacturing plant seeing how they're assembled and jump right off the assembly line to attack you. Plus who can forget that short 'victory' when you defeat Shredder and rescue April... and then suddenly, he gets right back up and escaped in Krang's spaceship proving that the game wasn't over yet. I also loved how they kept Shredder's particular theme from TMNT2. Makes me wish they used a variation of it in Turtles in Time.

Do you have a screenshot of the Fugitoid bad guys? I can't remember them. I didn't like how Bebop had a wrecking ball on his head though.

I think it as based on a figure Bebop had out recently, I think it was called 'head-spinnin Bebop' or something, which also had the wrecking ball on his head.

As for the Fugitoids, they were brownish like the action figures at the time, and they were in the Technodrome and spaceship levels. They basically leap back and fire three shots from their guns. Annoying thing is they always leap back when you're trying to hit them.

Now that's what I call a review!! This shows how much love you've got for this game. Imagine the awesomeness of this game in TiT standarts!! Oh boy so cool. One can only dream.:D

In Turtles III I am sure that Leatherhead also showed up as one of the bosses of the game.

I am with odupianist here, got any pics of the Fugitoids? I can't remember them either. :P I feel bad for that.

True the Bebop from the wacky action line.

For those wondering on this 'Fugitoid' in TMNT 3. I checked YouTube, to see if they had any play-through videos of the game, and did find some (done in sections, per-usual for the site). And the robots have a minor similarity to the Fugitoid toy, but are rather different as well.

I guess I'll just have to go to www.everyvideogame.com and play it lol. Is it bad taht I remember the cheat code for that game after all these years of not playing it? (Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Start)

I enjoyed TMNT III: The Manhattan Project back when it first came out for the NES. It's been so long since I've played this game. I wish I kept all my NES games. I hope to see it come to the Virtual Console for Wii.

I've already got the first TMNT game from the NES from the VC, and TMNT II: The Arcade Game will be coming within the next month to the VC as well. I'm sure by the end of the year we'll see it released.

Oh cool. I remember the beach, I used to love that stage as a kid.:D

heh, I remember that. Having a Triceraton right on the main focus of the cover, yet nowhere in the game. Plus in the far left corner, Casey is somewhere to be seen.

I played the game again yesterday. I found the Fugitoid enemies. My friends and I called them the jellybean enemies cause their guns looked like they shot jelly beans

Back in the day my bro and I called em Urkelbots cause they kinda.. sorta looked like them.

They need to release a "TMNT collection" video game like the Megaman collection.

Yeah. That notion was brought up in another thread a while back.

Would be great to have a TMNT Collection game (with all the ol' games).

I second that because you know how on the Mega Man Collection there's a Mega Man Racing Game on there that was never released to the U.S?

Well the included game for the Ninja Turtles collection should be either Ninja Turtles World Tour coloring PC game or Manhattan Missions or BOTH! :o

Just Manhattan Missions thanks.

I think it'd be cool if they let you unlock a graphically updated version of TMNT 1, 2 and 3 though where as the regular one would be standard.

You know the chance of the games being rereleased is slim to none right now. Knomai no longer has the license, Ubi Soft does. These games are Konami, so that won't happen.

The only way for this to happen is we make it ourselves. We, as in anyone here with program skills and dedication. Didn't someone here release a game with the TMNT Arcade Engine for the PC for you to mess around with? It would be awesome if that person can try something similar with TMNT3 for the NES.

Make an engine and improve upon the game as well. The NES was limited in how many sprites it could pump out at once, something like this wouldn't be a problem on PC. Tweak the combat a little more like the SNES game, allow more colors on screen, and the ability to fight 10 foot soldiers at once would be awesome.

This was the best I could do. Took me 4 lives, Dirtbag was giving me hell. I would call them Fugitoid-esque.

^Next time just use the code to get to the Technodrome level :P

That's them alright. You have to remember, the Fugitoid action figure at the time looked very different from how he did in the comics, having that browish color and all that. The game was still based on the older show and toyline, so natually, the Fugitoids they used there were based on the action figure that was out at the time. Oddly enough, in the ending where they showed every single character one by one, they never showed the Fugitoids.

he was rusty

These Credits for Ninja Turtles III Manhattan Project were my favorite; and Turtles in Time did the same thing.

Dude believe me I tried. I think it doesn't work cuz I'm playing on a Yobo :ohwell: . So I just had to rape face (Dirtbag not included) to get there.

Oh yeah, those credits rocked. It's great how they went with the "movie-style" scrolling credits at the very end, too...Very, very nice.

here's some more; sorry if some of the images are small.

I realize most of them are of Leonardo, but nevertheless, here are the game images :D

I think every 80's gamer memorized the Konami code.

Yeah, that would be cool like the way to original Mario Brothers series was updated on Super Nintendo and Game Boy Advance.
