600 Points. Have fun!

Yes, I've been waiting for the NES TMNT game to be available. The last 2 Mondays I expected to see, but at least it's now finally up. I just started playing it. I last played it in 1990 I think. I never could get past a certain point. I hope to go further in this game now.

Why is this 600 points?

NES games are 500 points, aren't they?

EDIT: That is such ********. Why is this game more expensive than evey other NES game? I only have 500 points so Im going to have to spend another $10 to get it. Wtf...

Yeah, it's messed up. I don't know if Konami or Ubi-Soft is doing this but whoever it is needs to be punched in the face. It's a fun game but by no means better then a lot of the other NES games on there like Zelda, Mario, etc, and they are only $5.

PS: Does anyone know of any cheats for this game besides the ones on GameFAQS? is there any kind of invincibility or infinite lives cheat? I have this on Wii so I can't use GameGenie.

I would guess it's more because it's a licensed game. Isn't it the first licensed game for the VC?

Yeah that's true, it must be it.

It's just they set the prices and then they spring this on you. It is just another dollar, but you have to buy $10 worth at a time...it's just annoying.

I remember getting this game when I got my NES, way back when I was 4 (and a very young TMNT fan). I remember getting frustrated because it was so hard, and I never got very far (those bombs in the dam? ugh!). But now I'm determined to pick this up and finish it.

Thanks for the heads up! :)

Until today I had never gotten to Rocksteady....so the dam levels and underwater level were all new to me, haha.

I had 3 turtles with full power, but I could not get through those pink, shocking plants....it's just insane.

I was able to get just past the dam part back when I first played the game. I've been playing the game today and I'm at Area 3 just after the dam part.

I've gotten all 4 Turtles with full health and no continues yet. There's a fairly simple way depending on how you look at it to do this. It's by no means cheating. Get to the dam area with all 4 Turtles health fairly high. When going through the dam don't let any of them lose all their health, just change to another one and finish the level.

In Area 3 enter the building and fill up on the slice of pizza and leave and keep coming back to fill the health meter up on all 4 Turtles. You'll have to do it many times, but at least you have full health and 2 more continues left after this point.

I like the game. It's challenging, but I know I'll finish it finally one of these days.

There's actually a speed run video on YouTube of someone finishing this game in 20 minutes.

It's pretty unreal.

in my childhood I could ever reach the 3rd stage until I got a game over.. that one jump.. ugh!

I got it yesterday on VC as well, and just did some for fun. Man, getting back into it it's tough.

Back in the day I could usually get to the 3rd area (with the Turtle Van), but would always be roaming the city trying to get through the area.

I just watched that...incredible. I hope to just beat it one of these days.

Oh, and I love how Splinter returns to his human form once Shredder is defeated. :lol:

Not sure if mentioned yet (took a quick look first) but the arcade TMNT game is out on Xbox Arcade. Its been awhile so it might have been mentioned before.

I remember playing this game long ago, and freaking out over the underwater lvl (did beat the lvl though). I cant seem to remember where it is I stopped playing at, cause I know I never beat the game. As hard as the game was, it was alot of fun. :sleep:

I downloaded it! Love it love it love it!

I'm personally honored to see the TMNT make the Wii lineup so soon.

I just use www.everyvideogame.com for the old NES stuff, but that's just me. That 20 min run has some holes in it though. Just for an example, how does he know which sewer to pick to find the Technodrome. It is supposed to be random every time.

good site but i can't play advneture island 2.. game is so slow.

tmnt is easy to find for nes..

It's amazing. This game will likely cost more than Super Mario Brothers 3. Wonderful.

It's a shame. Such an awesome game to be so goddamned awful. I'll have a review up on AMN soon.

yeah I saw some parts that looked blatantly edited, that was a MAJOR one. And that's a cool site. Thanks for sharing it.

I just got the NES cart....
