TMNT 2: BattleNexus video on Gamespot

*Ecto Jedi* · 08-28-2004, 03:01 PM

Has anyone seen the video on Gamespot (in the PS2 section, anyway) of the unlockable arcade game in BattleNexus? If you have, could you tell me if the music in the level is the original music from the arcade?

NeoBix · 08-28-2004, 11:53 PM

Regardless of the fact that I own the arcade machine, I have the music of that entire game memorized.

In that video clip of the game, the music they played was much different from the original arcade game's music. I don't know if all of the music throughout the entire game will be different, but that particular segment was.

Also, I noticed that they took the voices out of the game. When the turtles die, they're supposed to say "Arghh.. shell shocked!"

In that video clip, it just makes the little KO sound, but no turtle voices. Hopefully they at least kept the sound effects (sans the voices) in tact from the original arcade version. Aside from that, the look of the game looked very nice.

And... if it's any consolation, and it's probably not, the new music that I heard on there didn't sound that bad. It actually had a pretty cool, upbeat tune. However, I, along with many of you, I'm sure, would've much rather had the original music on there.

Yeah, it may seem a little surreal to have the sound effects and music altered from what I've grown to know and love about the original TMNT arcade game, but I can see me enjoying the remake just the same.

*Ecto Jedi* · 08-29-2004, 10:26 AM

Well, I suppose it's all about how you look at it...You could consider it a new and improved version of the classic...

I don't remember the sound effects, so I'm not very concerned about those...but I own TMNT II on the NES and I still play the Arcade occasionally, and it's going to be wierd with new tunes...

JDavis · 08-29-2004, 12:01 PM

We can hope that they'll include the option of the original music/talking/etc., but such hopes are usually never fulfilled.

*Ecto Jedi* · 08-29-2004, 01:41 PM

The reason they're using new music is because legal issues prevented them from using the old tunes...So they're definately won't be an option like that.

JDavis · 08-29-2004, 01:56 PM

Well craptastic.

NeoBix · 08-29-2004, 08:27 PM

Yea JDavis... it sucks. We agree with you bro. lol

i'm gonna be optimistic and enjoy the game for what it is though. not loath it for what it's not.

Ninja Tiptup · 08-31-2004, 12:59 AM

Well that music is "interesting". It's doesn't hold a candel to the original but it's alright. I'll miss having the old voices and music though. It's a pitty they don't have some kind of substituion for the voices. They could even have the new VA's do some clips.

I'd love to here the new turtls calling out classic lines like

"This cave is creepy", "Shell shocked", etc.

*tOkKa* · 08-31-2004, 02:10 AM

-->> ..it's odd.. why the heck are there all these 'legal' problems.. holding things down.. so damm confusing.. no wonder why lawyers go to hell..

.. just direct port the d4mm thing uggh..

JDavis · 08-31-2004, 08:48 PM

tOkka has a good point. What excactly are these mysterious legal issues?

NeoBix · 08-31-2004, 09:18 PM

I have to agree... they don't even elaborate on what the legal issues are... it's freakin ridiculous. And yeah, I also agree with the lawyers goin to hell thing LOL... so now we know why!

SURRENDER THE ARCADE MACHINE TO ME! I really want one

NeoBix · 09-01-2004, 02:50 PM

LOL Spitfire!!

Just save your money up for a long time. The machines aren't going anywhere bro. There are still a lot of people out there who have the machines and take decent care of them, and they don't know their true value, so when you get enough cash just go out there and look for one and buy it. CHANCES are GOOD that the majority of people out there who own them are NOT big turtle fans, so they don't care if they give it away for a sort of cheap price.

That's what happened in my case. The guy I bought it from didn't know the difference between Leonardo and Michaelangelo, so he let it go for cheap, cuz he didn't care about it. Now the machine is right where it belongs, in the hands of a hardcore TMNT fan. lol... keep your chin up and you'll get one if you want it bad enough.

*Spitfire* · 09-01-2004, 03:52 PM

Well Im going to save up about 200 bucks and maybe more if I can then go hunting. But if I spend all the money Im going to spend it on one thats for 4 players

They didn't take the voices out of the game.

They only said it when the player lost his LAST life only.

NeoBix · 09-02-2004, 12:13 AM

Oh, really?? Interesting... I never noticed that before, but thank you for correcting me. I will have to go play my arcade and check that out. Peace.

Ninja Tiptup · 09-02-2004, 01:01 PM

I'm pretty sure it was whenever you died not only on the last life.

They left in the sound effects though. Which keep that classic arcade feel intact.

Demented Utrom · 09-02-2004, 02:15 PM

Dan Berger said the reason the Arcade Game doesn't have any old Music or voices on it because Fred Wolf Productions sold the rights to the old cartoon to bunch of other people just to be jerks probably.

He also said Mirage would like buy back the rights to old cartoon.But because of Fred Wolf selling the rights to a bunch other people it would be to costly to buy them back.

X · 09-07-2004, 01:03 PM

Wow, that was... Interesting... To say the least, I just saved 50 bucks. I was looking forward to this game mainly cause for the first time, the orginal Arcade game would come home to a console intact. Yet, they still managed to gimp this port of the Arcade game in some way. First off, what made the arcade game so fun imo was the music. Who can forget the Technodrome music, or the last fight with Shredder, those tunes rocked. Now it's reduced to someone mashing on a keyboard. I woul hate to think what they'd do if they put T.I.T. arcade port in there. Favorite music in that was the arcade's orginal future music. Well's there's always TMNT 3 where hopefully they'll keep music in it, that for some reason needs to be liscensed even though they're not technically done by some well known artist. I still may rent this game, just to see how bad the music get's in original arcade game. If it get's even semi better then that jalopy I just heard, I may warrant a purchase of this game.
