Fave all-time TMNT Videogame

*Coola Yagami* · 11-16-2009, 02:02 AM

Well now that Arcade Attack is finally out and there are (so far) no other Turtle games announced, I can finally do this.

I can't fit all the choices of course, but if anyone has a choice that wasn't in the poll, be sure to post it.

*Ninjinister* · 11-16-2009, 09:12 AM

Almost picked Turtles in Time Re-Shelled, but went with the arcade original instead.

*Weapon X* · 11-16-2009, 09:29 AM

After disregarding the bottom 6 I picked Turtles In Time for SNES. It was either that or Hyperstone Heist, which If it was longer and had a different selection of characters as bosses(come on no Bebop?!?!) it probably would have got my vote.

Turtles In Time was the cartoon and toy line thrown into the oven with an SNES cartridge. What was baked is probably the greatest representation of "Turtlemania" in game form.

SNES Turtles in Time. Somehow I just don't like the newer games as much...

*Icebot* · 11-16-2009, 03:48 PM

TMNT 2: Battlenexus on Gamecube

Ninja Tiptup · 11-17-2009, 06:14 PM

Turtles in Time on the SNES. While the arcade is better in the aspect of harder difficulity, slightly better graphics and 4 player option I prefer the bosses in the SNES version along with the extra levels and extra music. It's only 2 player but it's easily as enjoyable as a 4 player TMNT game. I've yet to find a more enjoyable TMNT experience.

Aztec General · 11-17-2009, 06:15 PM

The following games are all amazing:

1) TMNT (Arcade)
2) TMNT IV: Turtles in Time (SNES)
3) TMNT II: The Arcade Game (NES)
4) TMNT III: The Manhattan Project (NES)
5) TMNT: Tournament Fighters (SNES)

hadoolket · 11-18-2009, 11:09 AM

i voted for the original arcade, the classic quality graphics and simple gameplay and awesome soundtrack (so many orchestra hits) and the little details such as verbal exchanges in game just does it for me. the soundtrack really sells it though, especially when it's outputted from arcade speakers at high bass levels and it really pumps the game up, and i couldn't enjoy the turtles in time soundtrack as much as i did this one

*shuriken* · 11-18-2009, 07:32 PM

TMNT 3 the Manhatten project. great variety of enemies, great level designs, and the fact that it wasn't based off of any arcade game made it so bad ass for me. That coupled with each turtle having a special attack made it my fave TMNT game of all time.

*Ninjinister* · 11-19-2009, 12:40 AM

While I personally wouldn't say that Manhattan Project was the best one, it was definitely the most underrated TMNT game.

Buffy · 11-19-2009, 04:35 AM

I also voted for SNES turtles in time. My second favorite would be TMNT 2: Battle nexus for the xbox. I loved playing as Karai

*Eiko* · 11-19-2009, 05:14 AM

Best Turtles game for me is Turtles in Time for the Snes wish they would make more Ninja Turtle games like it.

TMNTbrotha65 · 11-19-2009, 08:26 AM

top 5 from best to honorable mention:

1. Turtles in Time (SNES)
2. The Manhattan Project
3. The Hyperstone Heist
4. TMNT the movie game (GBA)
5. Arcade attack.

*Coola Yagami* · 11-19-2009, 08:56 PM

For me, it'll always be the original Turtle arcade. I dunno, I still like it better than the sequel.

Yeah, something about the graphics and gameplay of the original just scream vintage. I like how it is slightly harder to kill enemies in the original game since you have to rely more on jumpkicks and the perfectly timed two-button special attack rather than the super-effective combos and life-draining specials of Turtles in Time. I hardly even bother with jumping when I play Turtles in Time.

cklinejr · 11-20-2009, 09:39 AM

Totally Turtles in Time (first played on SNES, but the Arcade is awesome)

Prehistoric Turtlesaurus!

Patraw · 11-20-2009, 10:41 AM

I'm going with TMNT III: Radical Rescue on Gameboy. Bashing hundreds of Foot Soldiers amused me when I was a kid, but that kind of shallow gameplay is a turnoff for me these days, which is why I didn't vote for any of the sidescrolling beat-em-ups. I like Radical Rescue because it's got a similar structure to Super Metroid and Castlevania: Symphony of The Night, forcing you to think and explore, not just thump on the bad guys. You have to use all of the individual Turtles powers to succeed, which gives you more of a team feeling too. I also like to think of Radical Rescue as the original NES game done right, without ridiculously impossible difficulty (it's still a tough game, but do-able).

I still think the ultimate TMNT game would be a Grand Theft Auto type 'sandbox' game where you could run around New York doing all kinds of missions or just goofing off.

sirroscoe · 11-21-2009, 08:00 AM

TMNT 4 for the SNES will always be the best Turtles game of all-time. It's also the most adored and respected Turtles game of all time too. Ask anyone who was a Turtles fan back then, and this game will pop up almost immediately. It's quite a shame the quality and success of that game has YET to be replicated, even by remakes (here's looking at you Re-Shelled).

TMNT as a GTA-style game...hmm... It can work, but there's no doubt a lot of time, money and resources will be needed for that game to be a success. Unfortunately, the franchise's draw power is too weak to convince anyone to invest in such a game.

Honestly, I myself want a Tournament Fighters spiritual sequel, perhaps made by Capcom? Using the SF4 engine? Imagine the possibilities of THAT!

I really enjoy that game as well. I know a lot of people were turned off by starting out with only mikey but I think it's really cool that you have to rescue your brothers to not only progress but to beat the game. Although I wouldn't even call it tmnt (nes) dones right, it is a very under-rated game.
