Recommend me the best TMNT video games?

[Wildcat]

Surprisingly I have no TMNT games....Iv played the old arcade game and one on NES,which I dont remember the name off and they were both fun....but I suppose I never bought any because sometimes were afraid to buy movie/cartoon licensed games because they might be bad.

So could someone please tell me the best TMNT games,old and new....like for Sega Genesis and current-gen systems.

I have an N64,PS2 and Dreamcast....but I dont think any TMNT games were made for those consoles...especially the Dreamcast.

Thanks in advance

PS2 has TMNT 1, 2, and 3 games based on the 2k3 toon, and they have the TMNT movie game.

For the best TMNT games ever made, I reccomend TMNT the 1989 Arcade Game on XBox Live Arcade and also available on the first Nintendo, though not as good. I also like the TMNT movie game for XBox 360 (which is the same game as the PS2 version) and I really enjoy TMNT movie game for Game Boy Advanced, because it plays a lot like the classic turtle games from the past.

Oh and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 Battle Nexus on the PS2 has an unlockable 1989 Arcade game, only the sound is diferent from the original version. TMNT 3 Mutant Nightmare has an unlockable of the arcade game Turtles in Time, and again the sound has been changed.

Add Edit: I highly reccomend TMNT 1989 Arcade Game on XBox Live, as mentioned earlier, as well as TMNT movie game for console systems and the movie game for gameboy advanced. The Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo games are also great, as well as the NES games, but the frist TMNT on Nes is way different from the other games. I really don't reccomend TMNT 1 on the NES ( t's the worst TMNT game I ever played), but you may want to get it anyways.

It's late and I probably repeated myself in the post.

OH yeah there was games for the PS2 based on the 2k3 cartoon!...can't belive I forgot.

I have a 360...so I could get the '89 arcade game on LIVE.

For Genesis I was thinking of getting "Hyperstone Heist"....and the reason I didnt get the recent movie based games was because the reviews I read were just average.

Anyways..Thanks...

You're welcome. If you have an XBox Live Gold account, maybe we could play online and battle the Foot Clan together.

I'm Sam24007 on XBox Live.

I don't have GOLD...but Id like too get it....I'll save your name so I can remember when I do

[Toonami Tom]

Ok sounds good to me.

When did you activate your XBox Live account? Because everyone gets one month of Gold for free when they first sign up.

Actually I dont even have Silver...I got my 360 last year,Iv just never got around too it cause none of the Arcade games looked good to me up til now....like TMNT and Bejeweled.

[Toonami Tom]

Oh ok. Yes, they have a lot of fun arcade games.

The TMNT movie game is $20 on PS2.

Well maybe you should juts use an emulator for the older games, and so I would recommend "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters" for the SNES,emulator...

To me that was the best TMNT game, sadly no new one-one one TMNT fighting games have come out.

Well I still have my Sega Genesis,and it works fine....so I dont need an emulator for that....but SNES yes....I never had a Super Nintendo.

Seeing as you have a Genesis, I recommend The Hyperstone Heist. To me, that game never gets old.

That's the only old-school TMNT console game I still have yet to find... -_-

The original arcade game, which can be emulated with MAME, found on Xbox Live for the 360, played through the not-as-good-but-still-really-fun NES version (TMNT 2), or if you're really hardcore you can get on eBay and try to buy the old arcade machine.

Turtles in Time, the second arcade game, is also really cool. The SNES version (TMNT 4) is on par with the arcade version. This can also be emulated with MAME or an SNES emulator such as ZSNES.

TMNT 3 for the NES is also really good. It took a good thing with the port of the original arcade game and took it to it's NES-level limits. Of course, this can also be emulated.

Hyperstone Heist, while not my favorite, is still also a really good game that you can find on the Genesis or can be emulated. It's similar to Turtles in Time with the graphics and music but goes by a different story.

I've only played the first two Gamecube/PS2 TMNT games based off the 2k3 series. I prefer the first one. You'll have to ask someone else about the third one and any others, though. I think there were 4 altogether.

The PS2/Xbox 360/Wii TMNT game based off the newest movie is like a much easier version of Prince of Persia. It's got a lot of acrobatics and rooftop running in it with some cool action sequences throughout the levels. Still not my favorite, but I still play it from time to time.

Out of all the recent games, my favorite is the TMNT movie game for Gameboy Advance. It plays like an oldschool TMNT beat 'em up but you can level up the turtles and call in back-up for restoring health or helping take out a few enemies when things get tough. It follows the story pretty closely and each Turtle has strengths and weaknesses of their own which makes playing as different Turtles create different challenges and points-of-ease. You can also pick up and throw downed enemies or take weapons from emeies you've knocked out completely and use them for a short period of time similar to River City Ransom on the NES.

If you're really wanting to kick it oldschool, you can play the original TMNT game on the NES. Most people would'nt recommend it, though, because the challenge is waaaaay up there like it's Level 99 of Tetris or something. Pretty cool if you like a lot of challenge, though.

hyperstone, turtles in time, one, two and three for nes. the second one for the ps2 or xbox because you can just unlock the first arcade one, and the movie one is very good too, but the best is three for the nes it's longer and has more diverse old school bad guys.

[ToTheNines]

As long as you're a turtle fan almost any TMNT game you pick up will be fun. Except the first NES one.

[Spitfire]

Turtles In Time, the TMNT movie game was fun, the NES games were good, except the first one as mentioned, and the SNES Tournment Fighters. Oh and the new toon Gameboy games! The movie one rules to!

The new toon games are ALRIGHT but not that good, I hear the third one isn't bad though.

[shuriken]

It kinda depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for an adventure style game then the first NES, but it's pretty hard still enjoyable. But sidescrolling beat 'em ups I suggest TMNT 2 and 3 for NES and Hyperstone Heist. Hyperstone heist is a bit short but very enjoyable. Just don't get Tournament fighters for genesis. Sadly it isn't nearly as good as it's SNES counterpart. As for the GB and GBA go with the old school ones. my fave is radical rescue. But that's just me.

Actually, no. it is not in the least of the sense of the word "enjoyable." It's a game to play if you think that everything in life is going your way and you want a reason to end your life. it's that bad. That level with the dam exploding is bad enough, but when you actually do get to the end of the game, you have an endless hallway of people shooting you. it's not even a challenge, it's a death march. And since when Did Shredder have a legion of fat guys with boomerangs that stomp you to death?

Avoid TMNT 1 from Ultra for NES by ANY MEANS necessary. If someone has the cartridge in their house that lives near by, move. move as far as you can. It's evil I tell you! EVIL!

That said, I recomend TMNT2, the arcade game (though I don't think they did us any favors by adding that dojo level in) and especially TMNT 3, which is much better and the least frustraiting, yet still challenging of the bunch. Why? Special moves help you pass annoying villains that take forever to killl.

Oh c'mon, it's not that bad. I like it. But I do agree that the legion of fat guys is a pain in the ass to get through. I don't know why I like this game, but it has a certain "coolness" about it. Call me deranged or insane for liking it or whatever but I do. Some people also like it, not many that I know personally but there are a few . But I must agree that TMNT 3 for NES is awesome.
