Which Tournament Fighters do you prefer?

GreasyBoi · 12-22-2009, 12:30 AM

I am planning to get a Tournament Fighters TMNT game, but have no idea which one to get: SNES, NES or Sega Genesis. Please tell why you prefer it too.

EDIT: The title should be "Which Tournament Fighters do you prefer?", not fo.

Lotsa luck finding it nowadays, but yeah, get the SNES version. Best graphics, best music, best SF2-ish gameplay, awesome Ultimate Attack Moves and a good mix of OT, Archie comics and Mirage comics characters.

SNES is my favorite. The NES version is actually the only one that is a wee bit tougher to get your mitts on for a fair price. Hell, I won a Genesis version on eBay from Steve effin' Murphy, still sealed, for only $15.

I see a lot of them on eBay.

The SNES era was the place to be for TMNT games. Tournament Fighters was no exception.

The Super Famicom version, even over the SNES one. Why? Aska's thong ^_^

I'm dying to get the NES version.

SNES version no doubt. Anyone who suggests otherwise should jump off a bridge with cement shoes on.

Aw, come on, the Genesis version is an acquired taste but it's alright.

I cant say which is better, but I did win one off of eBay for the Sega Genesis. Never played any of them so I really cant say too much.

*Ninjinister* · 12-24-2009, 12:41 AM

Genesis one actually reminds me of Fatal Fury, without the plane-switching. Not terrible outright, but still nowhere amongst the SNES version's level.

NES version was good for the system it was on, but you have to realize that it came out the day after the 16-bit versions, which overshadowed it completely.

hadoolket · 12-24-2009, 06:53 AM

i recommend the snes version above the other two platforms, simply because the snes/sfc version actually looks, sounds, plays and feels like a solid basic level fighting game, whereas the genesis version is as what ninjinister said. but if you're more driven by roster and you like having access to casey jones and april (wtf her costume?), i guess genesis is the way to go.

I always figured the Genesis April design was a shout-out to Sega's own Blaze Fielding from the Streets of Rage series. I really want to know if that was intentional because the resemblance is uncanny:

EDIT:
Found this original commercial for the game, although the sound is really faint:

Konami seemed to only showcase the SNES version so it looks like they knew which version was the trump card.

Not to mention the fact that she wore a headband in the first game:

Blaze's own design seems to be an homage to Sega's previous game, Flashgal.

Which was apparently an unlicensed attempt at a Wonder Woman arcade game?

So funny!

The funny thing about that commercial is the that Nickelodeon now owns TMNT.

On topic: I would get the SNES version.
