My Goal for 2009
 
Is to beat the first NES TMNT game. I bought it last year on the Wii VC when I first got the thing...and I think it was the first VC game I bought. I've only played to just past the dam and I always get lost driving the Turtle Van around. But I am gonna sit down and try to make myself beat it before the year is up. Oh and I've got the June 1989 issue of Nintendo Power sitting in front of me to help...with a couple of maps and everything laid out to help me out, lol.

That's a cool goal, actually! I haven't beaten that one yet, myself. I may have to give it a shot again. Another TMNT game I've been meaning to beat is the Nintendo DS Mutant Nightmare one - I just can't seem to beat all of it. Like I seem to handle each turtle differently - Raphael seemingly being the easiest for me to play, then Michelangelo, Leonardo, and then Donatello who seems to be the toughest for me to play.

Good luck to ya beating that game!

Then may God have mercy, because this game won't.

You're a brave, brave soul.

It's all a matter of getting good at regulating your jumps. There were only two specific areas that I would get stuck at, and they both required that damn short-jump.

is that the part in the sewers maybe? thats where i got stuck and died last time i tried it. NP says if you swing weapons you can control jumps better but there's always like enemies flying at your face as soon as you jump.

it'll be quite a challenge, i usually just give up on a game after so much defeat, but i think i'll be okay if i can get past the dam with at least 3 turtles.

ohhh yeah i forgot about that one. is it kinda like the games they made on the gba? i played through the first one and thought it was really fun and then i meant to pick up the 2nd and that one on ds but i didn't know anything about the ds game until way after it was out. i heard really good things about the gba movie game too but i never checked that one out either... i need to catch up. and i'm sure you'll be able to beat it, probably lol.

Not entirely like the GBA - I mean you need the stylus for this one for example. It's interesting, actually. Like depending which turtle you play as, will depend on what the other turtles can do to assist you. Like if you play as Leonardo for example - Donnie can help you when it comes to getting from one platform to the next, Raph helps you do an offensive attack, and Mikey helps out lifting certain things by running with Leo on a hamster wheel kind of thing. Weird I know XD It's a fun game, but dang it gets hard to play after a while.

I've tried the TMNT GBA game, actually. It's a pretty good game! It's your basic beat-em up kind of game, but you can raise stats of turtles in things like strength and speed for example when you buy certain items in shops. You have your stages where you play as just Raph (He's the one I think you have to play most of the time from what I remember) and there are times where you can play as any turtle. It depends on what goes on in the story as you play.

Forget that Nintendo Power! If you really want to play with power, you need to follow these keys to winning:

1. Full Maps (nuff said)http://www.vgmaps.com/Atlas/NES/inde...ntNinjaTurtles

2. Don't try to high jump when you need to tap the jump button softly or simply run over the crack ala Super Mario!

3. Always pack heat. Make sure at least one Turtle is loaded with ninja scrolls. Preferrably two Turtles, in case you accidently lose the Turtle or the scrolls (don't grab throwing stars or boomerangs by mistake!).

4. Raphael is a wonderful alternative to fighting the enemies in the buildings of level 5. Keep Donatello in good health always! Use Mikey for dangerous one-hit-kill levels or streches with many enemies since he is expendable. :-D

5. If you're lucky enough to reach the Technodrome's "Death Tunnel" packed with flying enemies, Make sure you inch your way through it instead of running. If you run, those guys will destroy you, but if you can find the proper speed, you can hit them with scrolls when they first appear and they'll retreat and let you keep on hitting them from a safe distance.

wow those sound pretty dang cool. i need to check them out for sure. i liked the first gba game because it sort of reminded me of Turtles in Time.....even though i only ever played single player on it.

aand oldmanwinters, wow thanks for the tips man. hopefully ill have some time this weekend and be able to give it a shot.

Yeah. There was that sewer in Area 3 and then one of the tunnels in the airport Area.

This game was extremely difficult for a 7 year old :lol: I never did beat it until several years later on an emulator. thank the lord for those save states. interesting that you thought don was the hardest to play with. I always liked him the best because his staff did the most damage and could reach the farthest.

Well, man, how did it go? I busted out TMNT 1 yesterday to play through it again, and I was able to beat it pretty quickly on the second playthrough. Ah, yes, good times and good memories. I hope you were able to fulfill your resolution for 2009, since 2010 is just around the corner!

What everyone else said is pretty much the scenario, Nerdo. Stick to it, and you'll pwn that game.

Ninja Scrolls are your saviors.

Or boomerangs will do fine as well. I love those things! They're so easy to share amongst the turtles.

Yeah, but damage-wise, the scrolls are the most powerful projectiles in the game, and they help a lot in the Technodrome.
