Turtles in Time Reshelled makes ScrewAttack's Top 10 Worst Reboots/Remakes
 

I haven't played it, so I don't know: Does it deserve to be on this list?

I think it is not as good as the arcade but it is a good fun game to play. So no i don't think it deserves to go on that list.

It's OK, but nothing I would consider a bad game. Not as good as the SNES version either, but still fun to play nevertheless. I think there's alot worse out there than Re-Shelled.

Huh, I was thinking this was an old video. Seems like Screwattack has been bemoaning Re-shelled since its inception. Oh well...

I've never actually played it, but I would like to experience the game, even though I suspect the elimination of x/y-axis gameplay would completely mess up the game's physics.

I'm actually shocked that Sonic 2006 wasn't at the top of the list. Perhaps the blue hedgehog's recent success has dulled the pain in the minds of the critics?

I personally had a lot of fun with it. I played it once with my brother and we we had a blast with it.

Is it as good as the original? Eh, I wouldn't think so. But I don't think it really should've been considered as one of the worst reboots/remakes though.

All in all a fun game - much more fun to play with others especially.

It was okay. Not bad, and doesn't deserve to be on the list. The SNES version is by far the best.

ScrewAttack listed Re-Shelled as the most disappointing moment in video game history, period. Quite contrasting since the original Turtles in Time topped their beat-'em-ups list. I haven't the foggiest why when there isn't enough of a difference.

And hey NiNi's back! Hi NiNi!

Sonic 2006 was a horrible game, no doubt, but despite the title being simply "Sonic the Hedgehog", it was neither a remake nor a reboot.

As for Re-Shelled... there's a few things about it that disappointed me (like the use of completely original music as opposed to remixes, the completely three-dimensional movement messing me up quite a bit, and the lack of SNES stages), so while I do think the game could stand for improvement, it's far from a bad game. I still think the SNES game is the best version, and if I had things my way, I would have made Re-Shelled an amalgamation of the SNES Turtles in Time, and the Genesis Hyperstone Heist... but for what it is, it's a decent game, and still pretty fun to play. I certainly have enjoyed it a LOT more than I've enjoyed Smash-Up.

So, ya, the game's lacking, and could be better, but it's still fun, and I definitely don't think it deserves to be on that list.

Hmm, now that would have been interesting!

I still would like to see a revamp in the style of the original arcade game and the NES's Manhattan Project.

Would love to see this done ^

And from the sounds of it Screw attacks are a bunch of retards. I play reshelled alot and it is worth my 800MS points. My only complaint with the game is that u could choose when u through the people off the maps and they switched the bosses.

But I loved how they re-did the turtles, graphics, designs ect. Great job overal:tthumbsu:

Did they? I thought Re-Shelled was a "port" of the arcade game...not the (what many would call superior) SNES version.

It was a port. I guess he didn't know that. Much like everyone on youtube. "WHY DID THEY GET RID OF THE TECHNODROME AND WHERE IS SLASH?"

The only reason I put quotes around "port" is because it was an attempt at a graphical upgrade...but then again, I'm not sure what the definition of "port" is.

*Sigh* Ah yes, video-critics of games (modern and classic) really don't bother to do their research. I mean, it's all there on the internet. And they are already on a computer to begin with, right? So... why not just start typing some stuff into Google? Those lazy hacks...

For some reason, it has become popular to just bash games in video reviews for any reason without really understanding them. Kids today eat that stuff up too.

Part of me wonders if James "The Angry Video Game Nerd" Rolfe knows that and has tried to make more of his videos informative and not just "this game is a [expletive deleted] load of [expletive deleted]."

If I might continue my rant...

Sorry if this offends anyone, but Nintendo Fan-Boys are the absolute worst offenders. In my experience, they tend to be the most ignorant of anything they didn't own as a kid twenty-years ago.

Also, I blame the "ROM culture" for giving most of these posers the power to pretend they are experts on obscure games. Every time I see one of those bad Youtube videos, it just confirms my belief that most games shouldn't be judged until you've at least tracked down the game's manual or learned all possible controls.

I guess I ought to hold off my "review" of TMNT 2: Back from the Sewers, as I just have the cartridge. :P

I think the best way to experience of the home console TMNT games is on the original cartridge. That's my favorite way to play The Arcade Game & Turtles in Time anyway, though an actual arcade cabinet would be nice...

I wish I had the cartridges (and I have looked at some of the local second end game shops). All I have are TMNT for the NES and Fall of the Foot and Back from the Sewers on the Game Boy (well...that and the Konami 4Kids games for GBA and PC.)

If you're talking about shallow excuses for "game reviews", I agree. But if you mean they're the first branch of gamers to place judgment without really knowing what they're talking about in general, I disagree. I always see PS/XBOX fanboys just sh*tting on Nintendo fans for being into childrens games with poor graphics etc. They're the ones that can't seem to differentiate poorly made games from games that simply don't interest them. No one here (in the drome VG section) has ever come off that way, but rather the general ones you see ignorantly flaming on youtube 'n stuff.

Yeah, I guess I don't recognize PS/XBOX fanboys as true fans worth mentioning. ;) They probably won't even play a game if it doesn't have cinematic cutscenes and oodles of high-res polygons.

*This statement lacks factual support. It is merely the bitter ravings of a man up too late past his bedtime watching E3 videos. Good night, all!*

U would be right powder I am one of the younger fans, I grew up towards the end of the 87' craze so I mostly grew up with 2k3. But I do have the SNES version of Turtles in Time, I did not get a chance to play the Arcade version, but have heard high praises about it. But I still wish they would have used the bosses from the SNES

I didnt think it was that bad i played through it bymyself and online co-op , what were the reasons they said it was bad ?

You say you're a younger fan, but you grew up in the late 80's? Sounds like you're older than I am, lol. I was born in '90 but I've played the arcade version in arcades, sports plus, etc. as a little kid & more recently via emulators.

I was born in the 90's I said that the wrong way, I was born when the turtle mania was at its end or so.

It seems to me that games like this miss the mark. When you take a vintage old SNES/arcade 1990s game and update it with modern day 2011 graphics without actually bothering to boost it to what is expected of modern day 2011 gameplay... the old fans looking for a nostalgia fix are just going to pick it apart and the non-fans won't find anything of value in it.

Everyone loses.

How does everyone lose? There are obviously people that enjoy it, and thus they don't lose.

Or maybe I missed your point. It's still early.

If I wanted Nastalgia I would brake out my Famicom twin and play my TMNT in time

I played reshelled more than I do that. I like reshelled for what it is and i will always enjoy it

I didn't really like it too much at first either, but once I gave it some time and learned the controls better I warmed up to it. The colors are still a bit too homogeneous, adn the music being replaced seems pointless, but it's still an alright game. I think it was somewhat overpriced though, and that might be part of the distaste many people have for it. And yeah, they should have attempted to add in some of the SNES content just for the sake of more content. Still, it's fun game now and then.

It did go down in price what is it like 600 or 400 MS points???

Yeah it's cheaper now (I got it when it was on sale I think), but I'm sure if you bought it day 1 and were a fan of the SNES version, you'd be pretty pissed.

I don't understand what's the big deal. It was simply a port of a game with better visuals, it wasn't a remake or a reboot. Sure, it wasn't a port of the better one but who cares? It's not like the game was horrible. That's why I hate when people review ports of a game. What where they expecting, a brand new game. At least Reshelled added better visuals.

Well no, Reshelled actually did a lot more than that. Personally, I thought that the only thing that wasn't improved was the music - but I often don't pay attention to TV/video game music unless it really captures my attention anyway.

But see, here's the thing... there are a lot of people that had a few nitpicks with the game, and a lot that straight-up despised it (some for completely arbitrary things, but let's not go into that). ScrewAttack is the only one I've heard that has made this big of a deal about it, not only making their worse reboot/remake list but also topping their worst moments in gaming overall. Because... really? Did they fall asleep during the past 30 some years?

Just so everyone knows, ports and remakes are different. A port is the same game on different hardware. Re-Shelled is a remake of the arcade game.

I know right????

I mean come one
Virtue Boy (probably most famous)
Halo 3 (Halo 2 gameplay makes this look like crap)
PS3 was a pretty big **** up initially but they made an excellent rebound
Atari ruin the gaming industry in America along with all the other one shot system...
But there are a load more, a lot of these are screw ups imo, doesnt mean they are

I despise Halo in general but none of the games scream "worst moments in gaming".

Yeah I a lot of people jst dont like Halo. I used to love it, but when Halo 3 came out. I tried to skip school and go pick it up. Well when I got home went and played it with a few friends. We beat the campaign, it was so, so. I was looking more towards the multiplayer and to my surprise it sucked balls. The game was glitchy, bad connections all around, horrible map designs, unbalanced teams 6v4, wtf bungie?????? It was jst a horrible let down all around for me. I held on to the game for three months and waited to see if they would fix it and alas they didn't do a thing....

i love it. it doesnt derserve this.

It took me awhile to get into this game but once I did I enjoyed it. I'm not a big fan of the 3D graphics because they aren't as detailed and kinda stiff, but that's subjective. They didn't do anything to adapt for the 3D gameplay, but it doesn't have that big a negative effect on gameplay (I still beat the game on my first playthrough without loosing all my lives). And some of the music may have changed, but as I recall Pizza Power is still there (unless I am thinking of Hyperstone Heist).

Also I'd add that using the voice actors from the newer show is much better then the generic voice actors featured in the original arcade game. Not as good as if they could get the original voice actors, but still an improvement. Overall it's much better then some of the newer games I've played (2k3, Mutant Nightmare on PS2) which is really pretty sad. Also it's fun to fight regular shredder sometimes, instead of Super Shredder.
