Favorite TMNT Game?

What's your favorite TMNT Game

[pannoni1]

This belongs in the Video Game section. Also, it's Turtles IV: Turtles in Time, not II, which is indisputably the most favorited game in TMNT history, which was my vote.

[rav4ge]

Dude, Turtles in Time hands-down. I'd be genuinely surprised if someone thought differently.

It was IV in the Nintendo console line. It was the second arcade game, though, so in that sense, he's right.

[Jephael]

I voted for the original arcade game!

[Genesis]

None of the Game Boy games makes this list somewhat lacking.

[Darth Knuckles]

I really liked the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game on the arcade but my vote has to go to for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles In Time on the arcade. It was the best arcade and TMNT arcade experience for me. I actually got to work together with other people to defeat a game. Being an only child, that was a unique experience for me. And there were the times where it was just me and my dad playing the game by ourselves. Good times.

My list so far goes something like this:

******************************
(OT) TMNT IV: Turtles in Time (Snes)
******************************

And then:
(OT) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (original arcade)
(OT) TMNT: Hyperstone Heist
(OT) TMNT: Turtles in Time (Arcade)
(Ubi) TMNT Smash Up (gotta love Brawler action)
(Ubi) TMNT Turtles in Time Re:Shelled
(OT) TMNT2: The Arcade Game
(4kids) TMNT1 (GBA)
(Ubi) TMNT Movie (GBA)
(OT) TMNT: Tournament Fighters (Genesis)
(OT) TMNT: Tournament Fighters (Snes)
(OT) TMNT 1 (Nes)
(OT) TMNT 3: Manhattan Project
(4kids) TMNT1 (GCN)
(4kids) TMNT2 Battle Nexus (GCN)
(OT) TMNT 1 Rise of the Foot Clan (gb)
(OT) TMNT 3 Radical Rescue (gb)
(OT) TMNT 2 Back from the Sewers (gb)
(4kids) TMNT 3: Mutant Nightmare (NDS)
(4kids) TMNT 2: Battle Nexus (GBA)
(Ubi) TMNT: Arcade Attack

----

Still have to play:
(4kids) TMNT 3 Mutant Nightmare (GCN)
(4kids) TMNT Mutant Melee
(Ubi) TMNT: The game (PS2/PS3/Wii/360)

[Genesis]

Turtles in Time (SNES)
Radical Rescue
Tournament Fighters (SNES)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES)
Mutant Nightmare (GCN, not that there's any difference)
TMNT (360)

Those are the ones I prefer to play in my spare time. I own Hyperstone Heist and the Genesis Tournament Fighters, and I'm certainly not adverse to playing Back from the Sewers, Arcade Attack, The Arcade Game, et cetera.

I hate and would prefer to avoid Smash-Up, and though I haven't ever played Mutant Melee, I'm not in any hurry to give it a shot. Pretty sure Smash-Up and the DS TMNT are the only Turtles games I expressly hate.

SNES Turtles In Time or the original 89 arcade.

[FoxZerro]

My vote on your list went to the original 1989 Arcade game. That game was amazing back in the day. I remember having a group of people I would play it with down at the arcade. The rumours that flew around about how you had to fight the technodrome or how there was an awesome cinematic that played where Raph and Mike disabled the wheels and Leo cut a hole in the side then Donnie used his Bo to knock in the wall. There was just such a culture surrounding it where I would go to play it and it was amazing to be a part of it.

Unfortunately, when Turtles in Time came out the only place that had it was this local video store called Paradise Video, we would go every Friday and I would be given one quarter, and I couldn't continue. Nobody cared at the store there was no sense of unity about playing the game, it would just be me alone playing the game beating Baxter and then dying in Alleycat Blues. I remember one night when a guy was playing and I saw him get to the end of Sewer Surfin' and saw why the game was call Turtles in Time. It was a huge shock to me. Luckily I eventually got it on SNES so I was able to experience it in all its glory. Though best memory from that is from high school where me and my friend Mikey D. played through on Normal and beat it in 25 minutes then me and my friend Rusty played through on Hard and beat it in 23. That was a fun night.

This post is already a rant but my favorite Turtles game was not a part of the poll. I have always loved TMNT III: The Manhattan Project. Just the unification of so many different parts of Turtle Lore and the difficulty was great. Though I still remember how disappointed I was when I realized the Triceratons were a lie.

[Victorsaurus]

I voted for: Turtles in Time.
Too bad it was never released on the Wii virtual console, I used to check everyday until they took out the TMNT NES game out a few months ago.

[MikeandRaph87]

Its a two way tie and neither are listed. I love Manhatten Project(NES) and Turtles In Time(SNES) because of the villain lineups and the levels. The abilities and graphics are both bonus attractions to these CLASSIC video games. Ninja Turles have not done better in video games and I hope one day they will. Heck,its hard to top these two gameplays!

[chrisdude]

Turtles in Time, for sure. Or Hyperstone Heist, the SEGA Genesis version I grew up playing.

But I liked the whole 4kids GBA/DS series. I still play Fall of the Foot Clan for Game Boy. The TMNT movie game for Game Boy Advance, I feel, was largely missed, but is probably my second favorite.

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

Voted for the original arcade game based on what's listed.

However, my all time favorite is Manhattan Project. Someone else has pointed out all of the villians that make appearances as bosses and mini-bosses.

Plus it wasn't quite as "Nintendo Hard" as the other games, so when I was young I could get pretty far in it without Game Genie.

[Brockon21]

Although it may not be popular, I really liked Mutant Nightmare. I loved the shorter missions and the whole beat-em up gameplay. But, I still have Manhattan Project in my heart as my all-time favorite.

[TMNT_Guy]

How the heck could you not add "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: The Manehattan Project" to the list?

Seriously, if haven't played it then you really need to.

[HeavyMetalCarebear]

I still love the original.

Forever and ever <3

Before I read the poll I thought you meant the NES one. I've owned that game almost my entire life and I still haven't beat it.

My favorite is Turtles in Time, I refuse to abbreviate it...anyways I love the way it looks, sounds, and controls. It's pretty awesome. Played the hell out of it as a kid, first game I bought with my own money. Surprised my cart still works, fingers crossed.

You know Battle Nexus wasn't a bad modern TMNT game and while we're on the subject the TMNT movie game for GBA was pretty decent too.

[HeavyMetalCarebear]

I did mean the NES one but I clicked the wrong button up there.

Fail.


If someone could change the vote, that would be awesome. If not, oh well, it was meant for the NES one.
