Does anybody know when/if Turtles in Time SNES is being ported to the Wii's VC?
 

I love Turtles in Time, I have Re-Shelled and have played the original arcade and SNES versions. The question I ask if whether there are any plans to bring the SNES port of Turtles in Time to the Wii's Virtual Console any time soon. I know Konami made plans to release every TMNT NES & SNES game in 2007, before Warner Bros. got ahold of the license. I don't like using emulators to play games unless I have them beforehand, and my SNES is very reluctant to work, so it would really help if anyone knew of any plans to release the SNES version. Re-Shelled is a fantastic remake, but I really like the extra levels and bosses that the SNES version has.

I'm hoping for the same thing i have the original Turtle game on the Wii but i haven't heard anything yet when or if the rest of the old Turtle games will be released on the VC.

i'm hoping for more old Turtle games as well.

Unless Konami gets the TMNT license back from Ubisoft...don't bet on it.

TMNT II was on the VC ESRB list way back in 2007...but it was never released because around that time Ubisoft got the TMNT rights for the 2007 movie games that came out...

Not true. The first game was released for Virtual Console in April of 2007; the first game by Ubisoft was released a month prior. Like the TMNT Arcade Game on LIVE Arcade and Turtles in Time Re-Shelled, Ubisoft worked in conjunction with Konami to have it re-released.

So does that mean that Ubisoft could work with Konami to release the other TMNT games for the Virtual Console?

In the words of Donatello:

"Possible, but not likely."

anything's possible, just gotta be positive

That's why I'm glad that I own and only play the original copies. :)

I've mailed Konami about this.. still waiting for an answer. Guess it will arrive next week. If more people ask them about this... maybe they'll act..?

It had be very cool, to have TMNT1 (at VC), TMNT2, TMNT3, TMNT4 on the Wii console. I played the Turtles in Time on XBOX (thru Mutant Nightmare xbox game) and that was pretty cool.

lucky you, i'm jealous

same here :)
nostalgia is a beautiful thing.

Either get the original cartridge, or just pirate a Rom. It's never going to be released due to licensing issues, and potential projected sales estimates likely not generating enough revenue to justify the endeavor. That, and the Virtual Console is kind of dead anyway.

Maybe VC is just for Nintendo's own games... :-?

I haven't heard anything from Konami eighter...

have u not seen the VC? it's anything but just for Nintendo's own games

i'm still hopin that we'll get future TMNT games on the VC. but i guess it's a wait and see what happens with Nick and Viacom

I bought TMNT on Virtual Console then the next day I went to my local retro store and I found an NES console and the game was there so I bought it less than 24 hours later again. :tlol:

But I'm a bit of a game collector so I'll just buy the original carts. I just bought Turtles In Time Pal version off eBay.
