New 8 Bit Online Game: Donnie Saves A Princess
 

Donny Saves a Princess
 

Donatello chases Princess April across three classic 8-bit genres!

It's a fun little distraction, at least...

I love Nick Donny, but his fantasies do kinda creep me out at times!

Man, I can't believe you got this up before me by 8 minutes while I was busy taking screencaps:

Heh, the game is a mix of Zelda and Mario.

I can't believe how they ripped off Mario and Zelda in the first two levels.

YOU'RE TOO SLOW-Sonic The Hedgehog

This has got to be one of the coolest games on the TMNT site right now, it goes through 3 different levels, all with bosses and awesome "princesses" at the end :lol:

The Legend of Zelda level with Kraang (prime?) boss fight

Super Mario Bros. level with Fishface boss fight

Star Wars/Turtles arcade games level with Shredder boss fight (complete with a cameo of the technodrome and the line "Tonight I dine on turtle soup"

I wouldn't necessarily call it a ripoff when it's clearly an intentional homage/tribute. All in good fun when it comes to Donny's weird dreams.

One thing I appreciate about the Nick show is that it's made by people who grew up playing the 8 and 16 bit stuff and intentionally pays tribute to the past. The 4Kids show was made by middle-age adults who simply modeled the video games in the episodes after whatever was a current trend in the gaming world. Those guys didn't necessarily grow up loving and playing the stuff, but simply were trying to appeal to what modern day kids would be familiar with. All the video game references I've seen in the Nick show are clearly a product of the stuff the creators loved in the their youth.

I'm not, but my computer and internet connection might be!

Anyway, I'll just post these Princess pics here since our threads should be merged sometime in the near future:

And I was really excited to see the old Technodrome showing up too:

Next time you should make the thread as soon as you see something thread worthy and provide something small, like a link, and then put the screen shots in after, to make sure your the first to have a thread about the subject ;)

Eh, what can I say... I like to be thorough. Truth be told, I just assumed somebody had already made a thread about it since I had already been playing the game for about an hour. Eventually I just figured I'd put one up myself.

I'd never survive as a news reporter in the instant-social-media age.

So... the other turtles are the princesses? Lol!!!!:lol:

Yeah... Mikey's kinda hot too. :tlol:

But then again, I've always loved the classic Toadstool look with the bright white dress.

Yeah, this game is pretty neat. :D

I keep getting stuck on Fishface level. Anyone know how to beat him?

Jump. Over. Him.

:tanime:

Ah, I figured as much. I kept trying to do that before, but I always timed it wrong. Thanks OMW! :)

One of the most entertaining internet games I've played in a while. I had fun. :tsmile:

soooo did he ever save April? XD

Man, I suck at timing my jumps in the Super Donnie-o-Tello level...and I'm using Joy2Key.

Gotta nitpick.

This game isn't 8-bit. It kinda bothers me when people see pixel art and say 8-bit. Pet peeve.

Oh man, this game is awesome. I hope what we get on 3DS is akin to this. An e-shop title with 16 bit graphics would be great. I love how it changed styles each time, how fun.

It's not you. It seems like the levels are randomly generated and some of the gaps are generated exactly as long as he can jump.

This game is dreadful. I'm glad to see this kind of attention for the TMNT, but really, this game isn't fun.

From lousy ju8mping in the 2nd level to horrible hit detection the 3rd, I'm surprised Adam was able to finish for the screen caps.

I think that's a problem on your end. I was able to beat each level in one go...

No, Jester's right. Like what I said about the level generation and the hit detection IS bad. You can be well underneath Shredder and still get hit. It's doable, just bad on a technical level.

However, it's a flash game. Things like this should be expected.

Fun game, just had to stress a little at the sewer jumping

This game man... this game... lol.

this is so NOT 8-bit at all.

Indeed. I suppose "8-bit inspired" would be the more accurate designation. :tcool:

Oh, yeah, I'm just skilled like that. :twink:

Donny never did find the princess he was looking for, but he still got the girl he wanted!

I hereby dub this game: The best TMNT game ever. After TMNT 2 that is. :lol:

Burn baby, burn!

I just figured it was 8 bit since it was in the same style as The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros, which are 8 bit games.

haha, The Technodrome is floating in space out the window. :tlol:

I just realized that! Haha OT reference, I love it!!

Shredder also says his famous "Tonight I dine on turtle soup" too.

It took me a few playthroughs to notice but the intro cutscene totally drops a Turtles in Time reference:

Yeah, lots of little homages to the old games:

Gotta love how there is already some Princess Turtle fan-art up on the net!

I was just pointing it out and you go and get all snippy. Alrighty then.

Someone can't take a joke...

I certainly wouldn't mind seeing this idea expanded upon. I was hoping we might see some more "save the princess" game styles homages like Ghouls n' Goblins, Battletoads, Prince of Persia, etc.
