Angry Nintendo Nerd: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES)

hahaha wow that's pretty funny and accurate haha

So much swearing...

Hey, I like his style. Lots of swearing and booze sipping. And a few very accurate remarks.

I watched the rest of his video reviews and they were all fairly good, except for the "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" one, where he mostly just rants over that game, without barely showing any proofs to support his critical opinion. That one was pretty boring.

LLLLLMMMMMMFFFFFAAAAAOOOOOOO!!! OMG... I can't breathe!

So true. So very true.

Stupid Konami hiding as Ultra Games. Morons.

The best thing about his rants is that he never repeats the same curse twice in the same breath.

He does reuse them in the other videos though.

You should watch the other ones he made. They're hysterical. The Castlevania 2 one is 9 minutes long, and it's all worth it.

That guy is a complete tool, but it got pretty funny towards the end. I found it more funny when he talked about the crap that I remembered being horrible in the game. That pizza placement was hilarious.

It's a coincidence i just found that review yesterday and i see this topic. His reviews are so funny most of the time, and this one obviously is my fav one.

And omg, what he says is SO RIGHT. Just what i was complaining about back in 1990 "WTF? NO KRANG? NO BAXTER? AND WHAT ARE THESE FLAME GUYS AND ALIENS?"

I only played it on the Commodore 64 then, but as he says the swimming level was a real pain, and those jumps on platforms that you have do 50 times to eventually get up on. It's one of the worst TMNT games.

Oh, and in the Jerkyll and Hyde review, he does show the proof, after much talking, but he does blab on a bit, but it really makes you not want to ever play that game! I hope he does more of these reviews!

There was a Commodore 64 version? Learn something new everyday I guess. :lol:

Yeah and it sucked lol. I enjoyed the TMNT arcade conversion for the c64 much better at the time.

the swearing didn't need to be there. i understand what he is saying without the cussing.

Anyway, since this is TMNT related, shouldn't it be in TMNT videogame forum? Because i was close to posting a thread about this in that forum before i saw this last night.

Yeah, you're right.

The original TMNT game is excellent. It's the symbolism of how GENUALLY hard NES titles were, Mega Man and Mario Bros were of the same level, and at least they had enough sense to keep it true to the original comic designs in some way before the other titles went the route of using the classic original series

Hey I can beat the first Mario, I can't even touch this game. But yeah old games were wayyy to hard.

I will say for aiming at 6 year olds the game is too hard and should have been more related to the cartoon. But the TMNT fanboy in me enjoys this game because it's a different spin that's closer to the Mirage comics than the old show (but not the new one). They could remake this game and adapt it to the new show basically by changing a few sprites. Though it's a bit strange that it does have some stuff from the old cartoon.

It is a pretty good game though and in a sea of TMNT beat 'em ups this platforming action title seems all the more "original". Shoot it's more like Castlevania than any other TMNT game besides The Radical Rescue on Gameboy. Though I'd say Radical Rescue did this whole idea a whole lot better and added more elements of the show as well so I'd be interested to see what this guy thinks of that game. And in relation to Castlevania. I swear you could put a Belmont sprite in this game or a this games turtles in Castlevania I and it would completey natural as if it was meant to be there. And that's kinda neat IMO but also rather strange.

Though despite liking this game and this different way to play Ninja Turtles I gotta say it doesn't hold a candle to arcade beat 'em up style TMNT and he sure touched on all the frustraiting points about this game. Random enemies that always respawn, horrible jumps, pizzas in a places downright impossible to reach, pointless levels and an overall staggering difficulty for the target audience.

I think I'd like to hear his thoughts on the current batch of TMNT games. I bet he'd have a lot more swearing to throw down over those ones. Though as far as relating to the property goes... the new TMNT games do manage at least that much and Mutant Nightmare is easily on par with the great TMNT games in the past (IMO).

As someone who has NEVER liked the first NES game...that review was fantastic.

That freakin' swimming level, god dammit...
