And since I don't think we could get more than one TMNT port, I would definately choose Turtles in Time. I love that game!

I bet they could pry squeeze all the NES, and at least the SNES or Genesis TMNT game on one cart. After all, one of those things supposedly has the same memory as an N64 cart. Not sure how much it actually is though.

Gah, I hated the first game. In 12 years I still haven't come CLOSE to beating it. And I never will. Do you know how disheartening it was to be an 8-year old TMNT fan and not be able to get halfway through the game? It's like... it's like something that's SO bad I can't even describe it to you, because THAT'S HOW BAD.

I'm gonna go cry now. Thanks for opening up old wounds.

One time I watched my cousin Steve get passed the dam scene, but while he was in the Turtle Van scene, he lost Michaelangelo and he got frustrated so he turned the game off. I was kinda pissed at him cause I wanted to try playing.

never beat level 3.. (the Turtle van stage)

robot717 · 07-21-2003, 04:14 AM

The Turtle Van stage was next to impossible.There was one jump that was extremely difficult to make without a Turbo controller.And even if you did make the jump,getting the rope to work so you could cross the rooftops was iffy at best.

hell, i cant even beat rock steady. and why the hell did they put a mirage comic cover on a game based on the cartoon I was so puzzeld due to the "multi-colored" cartoon turtles and i didnt even know there was a comic.It was a cool pic though.

*Jephael* · 07-22-2003, 05:22 PM

I never thought anything of it when I first saw that pic of them with red masks, but I was curious about where they got that idea.

*Raven* · 07-22-2003, 09:30 PM

I think they should release the old games with updated graphics

Actually that game had a combonation of original toon and Mirage with a tiny bit of Konami's original work thrown in.

I think the first game would work well for an updated verison with character changes. They'd need to change a few things, but most they could keep in. Replace Bebop and Rocksteady with the purple dragons and Hun and that pretty much covers it other than updated character designs for just about everything. And no doubt... some cut scenes to explain things.

*Jephael* · 07-22-2003, 10:28 PM

the only problem with that is it's still entirely based on the old show where Splinter was originally Hamato Yoshi, and at the end of the game Splinter is changed back into Hamato Yoshi via the retro-mutagen ray generator.

Albrecht · 07-23-2003, 10:10 AM

then why is he still a rat in the rest of the games.

*Jephael* · 07-23-2003, 10:14 AM

Hmm, that's a good question. Guess there was a hole in the plotline there since they kept him as a rat in the cartoon show. They obviously wanted to keep Splinter in his mutated form, that way they could make his former human self figuatively dead.

RskimB · 08-28-2003, 09:34 AM

i've been wondered why they haven't done it already any tmnt game to be ported to GBA would make a great addition to its library.

Ninja Tiptup · 08-28-2003, 01:02 PM

I want the arcade game most of all! Four player with a single scrolling screen so if you play it on GB Player (for Gamecube) then you could all look at the screen instead of just one person.

SkaterMike · 08-28-2003, 08:03 PM

If I could only have one, It'd definitely be the arcade game. That's the first one I ever played, and still the best. I also wouldn't mind Turtles in Time combined with Tournament Fighters for GBA or the consoles. They could have Tournament Fighters as a seperate mode for 1 or 2 player fights (and maybe add some of the new characters like a foot tech ninja or hun.)

Donatello007 · 08-28-2003, 08:07 PM

I think they should release it on multiple platforms but be all on one cart/disk and as mp said updated graphics.

*gobo* · 08-28-2003, 09:41 PM

Hmm... Yes. I think I'll agree.

I don't. Why you ask? Because Sega doesn't have a console and other than that and a few one shot console Nintendo console have been the only systems which had TMNT games on them. Thus they should only be on GBA and/or in compilation form on the GCN. It's kind of a legacy thing. Unfortunately... I know people don't care about that so PS2 would get it for sure and likely Xbox and I guess if PS2 gets it then it's good to be fair and put it on all three. But I really do believe it should only be on GBA and or Gamecube. It would certainly be a great selling point for the poor system that doesn't get much attention from many of the third parties and it would probably get more attention as an exclusive but I guess we wouldn't know until something like that came out.

**Karpo_007** · 08-29-2003, 05:31 AM

Because of GC's bad sale numbers, we probably won't see many exclusive 3rd party games on the system.

on that topic, all you americans read the article about Nintendo in the newest issue of GMR (you can pick it up at EB)
