Turtles in Time Reshelled makes ScrewAttack's Top 10 Worst Reboots/Remakes

[Jester]

I haven't played it, so I don't know: Does it deserve to be on this list?

I think it is not as good as the arcade but it is a good fun game to play. So no i don't think it deserves to go on that list.

It's OK, but nothing I would consider a bad game. Not as good as the SNES version either, but still fun to play nevertheless. I think there's alot worse out there than Re-Shelled.

[oldmanwinters]

Huh, I was thinking this was an old video. Seems like Screwattack has been bemoaning Re-shelled since its inception. Oh well...

I've never actually played it, but I would like to experience the game, even though I suspect the elimination of x/y-axis gameplay would completely mess up the game's physics.

I'm actually shocked that Sonic 2006 wasn't at the top of the list. Perhaps the blue hedgehog's recent success has dulled the pain in the minds of the critics?

[NiNi]

I personally had a lot of fun with it. I played it once with my brother and we we had a blast with it.

Is it as good as the original? Eh, I wouldn't think so. But I don't think it really should've been considered as one of the worst reboots/remakes though.

All in all a fun game - much more fun to play with others especially.

[Sun Baked Records]

It was okay. Not bad, and doesn't deserve to be on the list. The SNES version is by far the best.

[Ninjinister]

ScrewAttack listed Re-Shelled as the most disappointing moment in video game history, period. Quite contrasting since the original Turtles in Time topped their beat-'em-ups list. I haven't the foggiest why when there isn't enough of a difference.

And hey NiNi's back! Hi NiNi!

Sonic 2006 was a horrible game, no doubt, but despite the title being simply "Sonic the Hedgehog", it was neither a remake nor a reboot.

As for Re-Shelled... there's a few things about it that disappointed me (like the use of completely original music as opposed to remixes, the completely three-dimensional movement messing me up quite a bit, and the lack of SNES stages), so while I do think the game could stand for improvement, it's far from a bad game. I still think the SNES game is the best version, and if I had things my way, I would have made Re-Shelled an amalgamation of the SNES Turtles in Time, and the Genesis Hyperstone Heist... but for what it is, it's a decent game, and still pretty fun to play. I certainly have enjoyed it a LOT more than I've enjoyed Smash-Up.

So, ya, the game's lacking, and could be better, but it's still fun, and I definitely don't think it deserves to be on that list.

Hmm, now that would have been interesting!

I still would like to see a revamp in the style of the original arcade game and the NES's Manhattan Project.

Would love to see this done ^

And from the sounds of it Screw attacks are a bunch of retards. I play reshelled alot and it is worth my 800MS points. My only complaint with the game is that u could choose when u through the people off the maps and they switched the bosses.

But I loved how they re-did the turtles, graphics, designs ect. Great job overal

Did they? I thought Re-Shelled was a "port" of the arcade game...not the (what many would call superior) SNES version.

It was a port. I guess he didn't know that. Much like everyone on youtube. "WHY DID THEY GET RID OF THE TECHNODROME AND WHERE IS SLASH?"

The only reason I put quotes around "port" is because it was an attempt at a graphical upgrade...but then again, I'm not sure what the definition of "port" is.

*Sigh* Ah yes, video-critics of games (modern and classic) really don't bother to do their research. I mean, it's all there on the internet. And they are already on a computer to begin with, right? So... why not just start typing some stuff into Google? Those lazy hacks...

For some reason, it has become popular to just bash games in video reviews for any reason without really understanding them. Kids today eat that stuff up too.

Part of me wonders if James "The Angry Video Game Nerd" Rolfe knows that and has tried to make more of his videos informative and not just "this game is a [expletive deleted] load of [expletive deleted]."

If I might continue my rant...

Sorry if this offends anyone, but Nintendo Fan-Boys are the absolute worst offenders. In my experience, they tend to be the most ignorant of anything they didn't own as a kid twenty-years ago.

Also, I blame the "ROM culture" for giving most of these posers the power to pretend they are experts on obscure games. Every time I see one of those bad Youtube videos, it just confirms my belief that most games shouldn't be judged until you've at least tracked down the game's manual or learned all possible controls.

I guess I ought to hold off my "review" of TMNT 2: Back from the Sewers, as I just have the cartridge.

[Sun Baked Records]

I think the best way to experience of the home console TMNT games is on the original cartridge. That's my favorite way to play The Arcade Game & Turtles in Time anyway, though an actual arcade cabinet would be nice...

I wish I had the cartridges (and I have looked at some of the local second end game shops). All I have are TMNT for the NES and Fall of the Foot and Back from the Sewers on the Game Boy (well...that and the Konami 4Kids games for GBA and PC.)

If you're talking about shallow excuses for "game reviews", I agree. But if you mean they're the first branch of gamers to place judgment without really knowing what they're talking about in general, I disagree. I always see PS/XBOX fanboys just sh*tting on Nintendo fans for being into childrens games with poor graphics etc. They're the ones that can't seem to differentiate poorly made games from games that simply don't interest them. No one here (in the drome VG section) has ever come off that way, but rather the general ones you see ignorantly flaming on youtube 'n stuff.
