Your Favorite TMNT video game
 

I think mine would hands down have to be the TMNT arcade game(later retitled TMNT 2 for the NES) It came out in that great era of 1989, along with other arcade classics as NARC, Strider, Final Fight, Ninja Gaiden, etc.
I remember how it completely blew away the NES TMNT game at the time, and the sheer exhilaration of teaming up to lay the shelldown on the bosses.

It was just so fun, especially being the first 4 player arcade side scroller beat em up. Sadly the side scrolling beat em up went the way of skinny ties and the macarena.

Other honorable mentions go to TMNT 4 for SNES, TMNT tournament Fighters, Hyperstone Heist, and The Manhattan Project(PC).
Anyone have any solid word on an upcoming TMNT game? Please dont let it be some 3d run amok game.

Of course ther Original Arcade game!

1. Turtles II: The Arcade Game
2. Turtles III: The Manhatten Project
3. Turtles I for Gameboy
4. Turtles IV for Super Nintendo
5. Turtles II for Gameboy

Sorry, turtle fans, but the very first Ninja Turtles game for Nintendo absolutely stunk. I know some people on here like it, but I hated this game.

"Hold on! That water no good for drinkin'! It be full of voodoo magic." - Leatherhead, from "Leatherhead: Terror of the Swamp"

I second that.

Although, I already made a poll about this a long time ago...but since you're new, it's OK :wink:

yeah, the original arcade was great. next id go with turtles in time (i like the snes one better).

the first gamew ould have to be an acquired taste if you ask me. when i was little, i played it alot but just b/c it was the only TMNT game at the time. i thought it did some different and neat stuff, but it ended up being tedious and damn near impossible if ya ask me. if i get past the dam, im lucky. what the hell is with that part with the DEATH SEAWEED with just a narrow path? like you can get through that without being hit? too tough a game.

Ive always liked The Arcade Game....
But TMNT One on NES was a great game...
Turtles in Time would have to be third...
And tournament fighters would be at THE VERY BOTTOM!

I'll second THAT one too :D :D :D

Well that could be the worst of them, But I think the GB ones are even worse...

*cringes at the thought of leo moving his wrist at a foot clan 2 feet away from him and the foot poofing in to a cloud of asterix*

*** <----Thats what the foot look like when you hit them...

Yeah, that is quality gaming....im being sarcastic...heh...

Hey, at least the GB games were still action games. Tournament fighting? Doesn't sound too much like a TMNT game to me...and I didn't especially like them becuase they were console-only games. Now, if, like Mortal Kombat, it started out in the arcades, THEN I might have liked it better...but that's just me.

Well I don't think the Tournament is a bad game, but not as good as the sidescrollers.

what?
 

what is with all this lame-brianed comparison??

they are different genres. one is fighting, one is action. thats like comparing tetris and final fantasy. apples and oranges, they dont compare.

I just never liked it when I had to fight my "purple counterpart/brothers" on Tourny FIghters....yeah, I hated that...

Re: what?
 

I can say I like Final Fantasy better than tetris. There is nothing "lame-brianed# in that.

Lame brained?
No, thats being "OPINIONATED" (if thats even a word)...
Whats lame about having an opinion...?

Yes, Im intrested to hear that too.

ahem
 

no, people weren't saying 'i like so and so game better'. they were saying 'so and so game IS better'. its pointless to compare video games of different genres, they werent made to do the same things.

Well my favorite TMNT games are probably tmnt the arcade game, tmnt tournament fighters (for snes) and tmnt the manhattan project (NOT to confuse with tmnt manhattan missions :dead: )

Re: what?
 

*ahem!*

There IS a basis for comparison here, thank you very much. They're both Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games. When you think of TMNT, you think of fighting hordes of Foot Soldiers, Mousers, and other enemies on a scree at once and then moving on when they're all down, then taking down a boss enemy at the end of the level.

Besides, it's YOU that's the lame-brain for making analogies more fallacious than the games. Side-scrollers and fighting games are very similar in genre (hell, I've seen both the MK games and TMNT arcade games fall under the "side-scrolling fighter" genre). Tetris and FF are COMEPLETELY DIFFERENT genres, so of course there's no basis for comparison in that sense!

As for "apples and oranges", we're not talking about fruit here!Sounds like the same thing to me.

I personally liked Turtles In Time and Tournament Fighters (SNES) though I didn't really get to play the other games so I don't really know what I was missing!
