Why was the Konami games based on the 4Kids cartoon were adaptations.?
The Konami games based on the Fred Wolf cartoon used original storylines instead of being adaptations, Why didn't Konami came up with Original storylines on the games based on the 4kids cartoon.

Wow, you've been on a thread-starting kick today, haven't you?
As far as the game-based plot, I'd say that either A) 4Kids requested the games cross-promote their cartoons or B) Konami thought that would be the easiest route to go with the story since the old games really didn't have to worry about story and cutscenes with the exceptions of the opening and closing bits.

Legal battles are a likely reason.

Hey, they had some original concepts, like Slashuur.

Honestly, I think I would have liked it a lot more if the 2k3 games had original storylines, though. If I really wanted to see episodes of 2k3, I'd just go watch episodes of 2k3.
One of my most favorite aspects of the old Konami TMNT games was the mixing of universes, but even if the new Konami TMNT games couldn't do that, I would have liked that the games didn't just repeat the plots of 2k3 episodes.

I didn't mind them so much. I had a good bit of fun with Battle Nexus and Mutant Nightmare, and I've no problem admitting it.

Maybe cause 2K3 continuity was so tight the games would look weird with 'side-stories' or whatever that would contradict the cartoon. They can't for example, completely defeat Shredder or Karai cause in the cartoon they were still around. Nor could they make Baxter take some form never seen in the show. Or jazz like that.
The OT was so random... there easily could have been an episode of Shredder blasting the Turtles through time or raising Manhattan Island while they were vacationing in Florida....

That's a really good way to put it. Perhaps, then, the games should feature independent stories. Games tend to do better when not restricted by something pre-existing.
