Only for Nintendo Gamecube????

What can this mean? If you check out EBgames web site, the box for TMNT 2 says "Only for Nintendo Gamecube". If anybody remembers, last year they did the same thing for TMNT for GC and it was priced at $49.99, $10.00 more than the PS2 and Xbox versions. Then a few weeks before the release they dropped the price $10.00 to match the PS2 and Xbox prices, as well as the "Only for Nintendo Gamecube" logo. I think the original plan was to include the original arcade version of TMNT on the first Gamecube game, but they scrapped it at the last minute and put it off until the sequel. We already know the original arcade will be on all 3 versions of Battle Nexus, but what's exclusive to the GC version? Could it be Turtles in Time, or maybe are they going to drop the logo again right before the release? I don't really care because the SNES version of Turtles in Time is better than the arcade version anyway. I'm just glad they're finally giving us a decent version of the original arcade game.

it's not exclusive to GC.

and the SNES version of TMNT Turtles in Time is not better than the arcade version

What's not exclusive to GC? We already know that the original arcade will be unlockable on all 3 consoles, but what's exclusive to GC? There have been no confirmations anywhere that Turtles in Time would be included too, and I wouldn't even believe that the original arcade was included if it weren't for the PS2 screenshots on Gamespot. And Turtles in Time for SNES is better than the arcade version because I just played it all the way through at the arcade a few weeks ago. The SNES version has better levels and bosses, although the graphics were slightly better at the arcade, and Super Krang was MUCH harder to beat. He must've taken me at least 4 or 5 tokens to beat.

reasons the arcade version is better:
4 Players (SNES version is only 2 players)
better graphics (SNES version is missing 1/3 animation and lots of details like the writing on the wall, the futuristic city, lighting in the caves etc.)
better sound (SNES version is missing lots of the voices)
over a dozen enemies onscreen (the SNES version can only show a measly 4 foot soldiers at once and you can't fight Stone Warriors and Foot Soldiers at the same time)
Much more challenging (the SNES version is way to simple and can easily be beaten without using a continue even on the hardest difficulty)
Longer levels (the surfing levels in the SNES version became really short bonus levels where enemies die in one hit)

The only advantages of the SNES version is the extra level, VS mode, and replaced bosses which is hardly enough to make it better than the arcade version.

You need to stop jumping to conclusions. It's probably just preliminary box art EB slapped up on their site for the game. A little triangle that says only for...think they really noticed or cared?

I do like a few things about the SNES version better but overall the arcade vesion is much better. The graphics look good even compared to current 2D games.

I know Im getting it for GC and I liked the SNES version of Turtles In Time mainly because I dont have the arcade version on hand

[Orochi Chimera]

Thes SNES version is still good and very fun to play. I think if they spent more time on it the game could have had better graphics.

There was at some point. IGN, Gamespot, something confirmed it. Guess they were wrong. TMNT Turtles in Time will NOT be in it, reguardless of the false confirmation.
