Does anyone have Pics of Shogun? [from NES game]

[RayH]

Does anyone have any good pictures of Shogun from the TMNT 2 arcade game on the NES? I have a few pictures of the in game sprite already. But I'd love to find artwork.... I coulda sworne i remember seeing a drawing of him in the manuel

Huge thanks if you can hook me up with pics.


..and come to think of it the purple crazy armed guards from the stage as well.... I'd love to see good pics of those guys.

I was searching for Shogun concept art (yes, he was drawn in the manual) but by sheer accident I found this, which is even more awesome:

Yeah, Patraw's work is cool


I believe this is what you were looking for.

I found that too when i was searching through google, it's really cool and it's very helpfull seing things "real" cause i want to make a customs of of the game bounty hunters.

Thanks Ninjinister! That was exactly what i was looking for it's perfect and theres even a few things on there i was looking for that i didn't ask about. AWESome, huge thanks again!

Just in case someone's looking for this as well.

I unfortunately do not have TMNT3 or Tournament Fighters' manuals. I actually bought TMNT3's manual off of eBay last month but it never showed; after asking the merchant twice about its whereabouts and getting no response, I had to open a trouble ticket with eBay. Thankfully I got my money back, but I would have rather had the manual.

[Patraw]

Man, that Patraw guy's Shogun custom sucks!

Those manual scans may prove useful to me someday, Ninjinister, thanks for posting 'em (I've got the games, but not the manuals, as I bought them secondhand and loose). I noticed that my "Shogun's Cyber Shinobi" actually has a legitimate name--Blade. I'll have to update my web page for that figure and fix that.

Here's my take on said "purple crazy armed guards", RayH, if you're interested. There's some game sprites of them down at the bottom of the page too that I made/captured.

"Cyber Shinobi" is a better name, and more descriptive to boot, than "Blade", though.

[Patraw]

True, but I like to be accurate to the source material whenever possible. It's curious that none of the FAQs, etc., I looked at mentioned them by the correct name, the authors must have not had the manual either. Even an old issue of Gameplayers magazine I have with the game's walkthrough in it simply referred to them as Hunchbacks.

[Ninjinister]

Back in those days, if they weren't named in-game or manual (or if the manual was missing), my friends and I would always name things after whatever we thought the 8-bit sprites looked like.

You've got some great work, Patraw! I was hoping to check out your full gallery but when I click, "Return to the Konami Fan Art Index" all I get is the defunct geocities site. Do you have a link to your full work?

I remember in TMNT1 one of the later enemies resembled Blade from TMNT2. I think they were the ones that would split into smaller versions of themselves whenever they were hit.

Thanks for these neato scans, ninjister. Never seen em before. Maybe I'll scan some of my old school booklets like fall of the foot clan for gameboy.

Thats Perfect! I had not seen this one, i have your granitor also saved for refrence, just spectacular sculpting on those. I love the head on it, I have allot of stuff i want to copy. Very inspiring like i said it's so helpful seeing it in 3d already over the sprites.

Yeah, I'd love to see that, Powder!

I'd like to see the one for Radical Rescue.

Ninjinister: I went ahead and corrected my Shogun's Cyber Shinobi web page (henceforth forever known as Blade). I also added the (edited) manual artwork down in the sprites/screenshot comparison section (I fixed up a few other things while I was at it too). I credited you for the valuable assistance down in the 'References' section, Ninjinister--thanks to you, the accuracy of the page is much improved.

oldmanwinters: Sorry about the broken link, there's tons of them strewn thoughout my site since Geocities went belly up. I fixed the link on Blade's page, but, if you want to see all my TMNT figures, it's probably best to visit my 'Master Figure Index':

http://www.angelfire.com/ult/ace/figure_index.html

They're listed in alphabetical order, by franchise, so you'll want to scroll down to the T's for TMNT--but check out the K's for 'Keepers of the Maser' too to see Frezzato's T.M.N.T. robot parody.

*******************

Does anybody else find it amusing, that, in the TMNT II Arcade Game manual, Traag is treated like a generic grunt while Granitor gets all the prestige?

You are my new Hero, I am in love with your customs, I'm on a very similar wavelength as you. Like i really want to make Splatter house customs i thought I'd be the first to do it and make like a cool dio of that room to go with rick and youve already done it.

Theres so much stuff on there that i was planning on trying to make, cause i love classic games and want to make customs of them. Like metroid, contra, splatterhouse, super ghous and ghosts... etc etc...

very uselful site i have it bookmarked. I'm totally loving that stuff..

[Patraw]

Glad you enjoyed my work and the site!

I'm not the only one that's done Splatterhouse customs. Jin Saotome did a nice Rick (w/boreworms) a little while back, and I've seen some other ones too.
