Wrong forum dude. This should be in the VIDEO GAMES Forum. Also, i have no clue what you are talking about.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Collection
 

When is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Collection going to get released for PlayStation 3? Are they going to release Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Collection for PlayStation 3 containing all Teenage Mutant ninja Turtles games and two arcade games of Teeange Mutant Ninja Turtles and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time?

That's been out for ages, dude.

Dude, dude dude dude dude dude dude dude?

Dude, that wasn't a good joke dude.

No to all the questions you've asked already! You're either expecting way too much or just pulling our chains.

Ooo burn by a 5 year old.

oooo burn!... Dude!

And just where have you been Lurky!

There's a TMNT video game collection? :-?

You'd think something like that would be discussed all over this place.

no kidding, i'd like to know more about it, what games are in it, etc.

That'd be really awesome, so if something like that were coming out, odds are you would see stuff about it posted all over here already.

Not really. That was my ridiculous reply to an equally absurd question. Didn't mean to be fooling anyone...

*waves fist* damn, i thought there was breaking TMNT game news there for a sec! :D

Dude, I gotta get in on this... Even if I'm late.

Rats! Here I was hoping that a TMNT video game disc was developed and released recently, and was just kept really quiet among the fans. :lol:

that would be great if it was true

With the Mega Man Collection Games, they did two of them. One covered the Mega Man NES series 1-8 and then the PS2 covered the Mega Man X series.

Maybe they could make 2 collections: one that covers the NES series and SNES/Genesis series, and the 2nd collection covers the new TMNT series.

But that's just me talking...

NES/SNES/Genesis games would be good, but i'm not buying a collection of the new TMNT games, i refuse, cause there would be no difference in the current versions available

Indeed they would... with the two arcade games thrown in for good measure. But I doubt it'll happen. For that matter, what's with this topic? It kinda makes it sound like such a thing is actually being made, but to my recollection, it isn't. Did I miss something?

probably just the OP's way of wording it, thats all.

Yeah, if you missed something, we all must have... which we didn't. :)

It'll come out when there's more than 100 people who still like Ninja Turtles and actually give a sh*t about owning all the games.

Be aware, the arcade version and ninja turtles II for the nes were the same with the addition of a level or 2. Also, for the turtles in time arcade and snes version, same thing with a few levels added.

the only way that would work is if they were combined in a way.

DUDE!!! i wouldnt have said it if i knew everyone was gonna repeat it. lol.

I think such a game collection would likely still sell pretty well. People remember those games quite fondly. The first TMNT game for the NES sold quite excellently on Virtual Console (despite the fact that it's one of the more hated TMNT games among many people), and while Smash-Up hasn't gotten that much buzz outside of TMNT fandom, the Turtles in Time remake is getting EVERYBODY'S attention.

I disagree. The NES version of the first arcade game had more levels, but the graphics and sound were obviously not the same as the arcade version, plus the 4-player element was left out. Same thing with Turtles in Time. As for Turtles in Time, specifically, don't forget there's bosses that only appear in each version, not to mention that Neon Nightriders is totally different. So you see, there's plenty of differences between them to warrant both of them being included in a collection.

How about a TMNT collection with the TMNT 3: Manhattan Project using Arcade Graphics as Special edition Bonus. In addition to that, the other Arcade Games, Hyperstone Heist, and TMNT (The evil NES platformer TMNT game.) If they remake it with better 2-d graphics it would be awesome.

You know, since you're bringing up the notion of an updated Manhattan Project, I can't help but wonder if that might be a possible sequel if the Turtles in Time remake does well enough. Hmmm...

now that is a great idea!

an updated Manhattan Project would be cool because then the first level (which is the beach) would be awesome as far as graphics go. I would definitely support that.

Manhattan Project doesn't get much respect. An updated (2-d or 3-d) would look great for a great game.

A TMNT game compilation title would be cool, but I don't think it'd happen due to Konami having to emulate multiple engines/systems (NES, SNES, Genesis, Arcade, and even Gameboy) to accomplish it.

The most realistic scenario, in my opinion, would be just the arcade versions of TMNT the Arcade Game and TMNT: Turtles in Time on one disc, as the arcade engine(s) was developed by Konami, so they presumably own the corresponding hardware rights, and wouldn't have to finangle with Nintendo or Sega for their NES/Genesis/SNES/Gameboy engine rights or risk litigation with doing their own emulation of Nintendo/Sega systems.

And, lastly, Konami would almost certainly have to work out a new licensing agreement from Laird & Co. to re-release them, which might not float if Ubisoft has anything to say about it.

Bottom-line: It'd be cool if it could be done, but I think there's a fair amount of hurdles that Konami would have to jump through first.

Well the Megaman collection games had to emulate Snes, NES, and PS1 engines for their Megaman Collection games. But Megaman is a Capcom original and doesn't need to do the liscense stuff. That saved them some money.

Well, I've noticed Ubisoft has been involved in all of these recent releases of old Konami TMNT games, so I don't see that as being much of a hurdle, provided that Ubisoft is involved.

Technically, they only emulated SNES and PSX. The NES games were just ports of the PSX releases of those games, rather than actual emulations (which is why all the NES games in that collection had adjustable difficulty levels, the option to change to remixed music, as well as a Navi mode).

Still, you make a good point, in that the emulation of those systems isn't necessarily a hurdle.

I'm not saying it's hard to do the emulation; I'm saying Konami would have to be careful with how they went about it to avoid litigation. Nintendo/Sega own many patents pertaining to their home consoles, if anyone infringes on those patents, intentionally or otherwise, they could be in for a world of legal hurt. The best, and safest, thing to do, is to get Nintendo/Sega's permission/support for the project, even if that includes paying them a fee to do so. While it is possible to emulate a given game system without infringing on any patents, that also involves additional work/expenses for the developer in creating their own engine(s) to do so--that could very well be time/effort Konami isn't willing to expend.

The point I'm trying to make here is that Konami would almost certainly have to go through several parties to get such a compilation title released, each of which would want a piece of the profits, and may even be antagonistic towards the project, thereby decreasing Konami's own take, which might make it not worth the effort in time or finances. If you own an intellectual property, like Capcom does Mega Man, then yes, things are simpler, but you still have to deal with your games being on someone else's architecture if you don't own the hardware/engine the games initially appeared on.

Again, I think it's a good idea, but I don't know how feasible/economical it would be from Konami's perspective.

Hmmm, when you put it that way, it does sound like it'd probably be more trouble than it's worth. Plus, there's the whole thing with the music and sound effects, as well (since in both the unlockable arcade games in the 2k3 games as well as the X-Box Live versions of the arcade games, it seems that the music was replaced).

Seeing that an "official" collection is unlikely to be made. How about fanmade TMNT games? Do they exsist?

The Chinese Amazon sells a CD with emulators and all emulated 20th century TMNT games.

but buying emulators and roms is illegal... I think... Slightly mopre illegal than over 90% of all the MUGEN, Beats of Rage, and the other fighting/sidescrolling beat-em up engines have to show...
