TMNT 1989 NES game no longer available for Wii Virtual Console

*pannoni1* · 02-09-2012, 03:37 PM

I've gotten word from Nintendo World Report that the first game for the NES is no longer available for the Wii virtual console.

That sucks but good thing I've had it for a while now. Any one know why there taking it off? Or why they don't put the other games up?

Ubisoft ported the game with permission from/commission to Konami. Ubisoft no longer has the license, so it has to go bye-bye.

(Those of you familiar with the NES game's soundtrack may understand a double reference here.)

i never even knew it was available for the wii. if i would have known, i would have downloaded it a looooong time ago. that sux!

Good riddance to Ubisoft, I say.

*Kendamu* · 02-10-2012, 09:39 PM

Hopefully Konami can work out another deal to get their games out on consoles in time for the new show this Fall.

Ah

TMNT and Konami is like peanut butter and jelly.

Exactly what I was thinking. I'd love for Konami to get the Turtles back. The 4Kids games aren't THAT bad.

Fixed that for ya...

I've had my Wii for 5 years, and always debated downloading TMNT, but never did. It was mainly because I always lose interest somewhere in stage 3. Now I kind of wish I downloaded it, but I guess I can't be too disappointed since I had 5 years to do so.

lizard6king6 · 02-12-2012, 07:41 PM

I had to bust out my old NES system to play it. I actually really enjoyed the nes controller. Owell, bye to the wii version.

Good thing I have the original cartridge

i'm glad i bought it too and kept it on the Wii; I play it every now and then. Can't get past the dam though...but oh well.

by the way Jester, I like your signature. is that the ninja turtles movie comic? if so, where'd you get it?

just thought i'd ask.

prophecy718 · 02-22-2012, 01:22 PM

damn they removed everything lol

when i first bought the wii, that was one of the first virtual console games i downloaded.

My sister has a Wii and I just went to DL all the TMNT stuff...GREAT! >:C

Uggghhhh. All Konami did was make some good-for-their-time beat 'em ups. They would NOT make a good TMNT game now. They're an irrelevant studio that hasn't made a really strong quality product in years.

Remember their last Ninja Turtle game?

All time classic that was. Lay off the nostalgia trip. Konami is not the answer.
