SNES of course! More levels and I'll never forget the Technodrome stage of when the only way to damage Shredder is to throw Foot Soldiers at him.

Easily, easily the original version.

It's very very tough to beat the "original". That is the way I played it when it came out, that is the way it was meant to be played.

The original always.

The graphics on the snes version were not as good, but the sheer fact you had the arcade version plus more made it better.

*Ecto Jedi* · 03-30-2013, 10:29 AM

SNES, hands-down. One of the very few instances of the home port being superior in nearly every conceivable fashion.

Does anyone know if there has ever been a mod that includes 4 player co-op in the snes version?

SNES for me becasue I never got to play the cabinet.
I really never got to play any arcades growing up.
A pivotal part in many kids lives and I missed it.

So sorry to hear that... my sympathies... From one who used to go to the arcades at least every 3 weeks during the late 80s-mid 90s as a kid. As I said in my earlier post, it wasn't just the arcade games itself but the whole social atmosphere that would make it far better than the home console experience of the same game.

SNES, cuz throwing Foots at the screen wasn't just a happy accident anymore and Slash is sooooooooooooooooooo much > Cement Man.

for me personally it's the snes mostly because i have more fun with it than the original not too say the original was bad or anything hell no but i just wished the original had more levels and bosses and that's what we got for the snes port, but i'll say this i prefer the arcade music over the snes music mostly that bassline they play in neon night riders.

Personally I like the SNES version better. But that's because I had the SNES version as a kid. I've got the HD port of the Arcade version on my PS3. I've also got Metalhead's boss battle theme from Alleycat Blues as my ringtone. Gotta love Zedge.

The SNES version was the only one that I've played, so I'm gonna go with that one. It will always be one of my favorite SNES games, and one of the few games that I can destroy in hard mode. I've seen the arcade version, and it just doesn't compare to home version. Although 4 player through that game would be awesome.

Was just playing the original arcade version the other day, and it felt REALLY off. I don't know why, it felt a bit unpolished when compared to its console counterpart. Just like the 1ST arcade felt off in comparison to its NES counterpart.

Instead of playing, I was more amused at Splinter going hyper whenever I was not moving, lol.

I prefer the Snes version by a lot. I just wish we got the theme song for Turtle Power from the arcade in it.

I posted something earlier about my choice which was "Turtles in Time" for the SNES, but now I'd like to share something:

I recently played SNES "Turtles in Time" and a disappointment came to me: Why is Rat King in the SNES version, but not the arcade?

Was he added late?

Genesis · 07-07-2013, 09:31 AM

The SNES added extra levels and changed a couple of bosses - most notably the entire first Technodrome level (Let's Kick Shell!), the Rat King following the Pizza Monsters, and Slash (mentioned earlier, he replaced "Cement Man").

The whole time travel bit starting right at the end of Sewer Surfin' never made any sense to me. The absence of Let's Kick Shell! always gave me the impression that the level was incomplete by the deadline, and they didn't get the chance to include it until the SNES port. I have no idea, of course; that's just my guess.

Either way, barring the lack of 4-player options, it's a wholly more complete and satisfying version of the game. The SNES version of the OST also sounds so much more awesome, and I've always preferred playing in "Comic" mode.

Never played the snes version, will have to check it out. Love arcade though.
