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.

Yeah, I guess I don't recognize PS/XBOX fanboys as true fans worth mentioning.

They probably won't even play a game if it doesn't have cinematic cutscenes and oodles of high-res polygons.

U would be right powder I am one of the younger fans, I grew up towards the end of the 87' craze so I mostly grew up with 2k3. But I do have the SNES version of Turtles in Time, I did not get a chance to play the Arcade version, but have heard high praises about it. But I still wish they would have used the bosses from the SNES

I didnt think it was that bad i played through it bymyself and online co-op , what were the reasons they said it was bad ?

You say you're a younger fan, but you grew up in the late 80's? Sounds like you're older than I am, lol. I was born in '90 but I've played the arcade version in arcades, sports plus, etc. as a little kid & more recently via emulators.

I was born in the 90's I said that the wrong way, I was born when the turtle mania was at its end or so.

It seems to me that games like this miss the mark. When you take a vintage old SNES/arcade 1990s game and update it with modern day 2011 graphics without actually bothering to boost it to what is expected of modern day 2011 gameplay... the old fans looking for a nostalgia fix are just going to pick it apart and the non-fans won't find anything of value in it.

Everyone loses.

*Ninjinister* · 06-09-2011, 08:46 AM

How does everyone lose? There are obviously people that enjoy it, and thus they don't lose.

Or maybe I missed your point. It's still early.

If I wanted Nastalgia I would brake out my Famicom twin and play my TMNT in time

I played reshelled more than I do that. I like reshelled for what it is and i will always enjoy it

I didn't really like it too much at first either, but once I gave it some time and learned the controls better I warmed up to it. The colors are still a bit too homogeneous, adn the music being replaced seems pointless, but it's still an alright game. I think it was somewhat overpriced though, and that might be part of the distaste many people have for it. And yeah, they should have attempted to add in some of the SNES content just for the sake of more content. Still, it's fun game now and then.

It did go down in price what is it like 600 or 400 MS points???

Cryomancer · 06-10-2011, 12:56 PM

Yeah it's cheaper now (I got it when it was on sale I think), but I'm sure if you bought it day 1 and were a fan of the SNES version, you'd be pretty pissed.

*Turo602* · 06-10-2011, 05:32 PM

I don't understand what's the big deal. It was simply a port of a game with better visuals, it wasn't a remake or a reboot. Sure, it wasn't a port of the better one but who cares? It's not like the game was horrible. That's why I hate when people review ports of a game. What where they expecting, a brand new game. At least Reshelled added better visuals.

*Ninjinister* · 06-10-2011, 08:57 PM

Well no, Reshelled actually did a lot more than that. Personally, I thought that the only thing that wasn't improved was the music - but I often don't pay attention to TV/video game music unless it really captures my attention anyway.

But see, here's the thing... there are a lot of people that had a few nitpicks with the game, and a lot that straight-up despised it (some for completely arbitrary things, but let's not go into that). ScrewAttack is the only one I've heard that has made this big of a deal about it, not only making their worse reboot/remake list but also topping their worst moments in gaming overall. Because... really? Did they fall asleep during the past 30 some years?

Just so everyone knows, ports and remakes are different. A port is the same game on different hardware. Re-Shelled is a remake of the arcade game.

I know right????

I mean come one
Virtue Boy (probably most famous)
Halo 3 (Halo 2 gameplay makes this look like crap)
PS3 was a pretty big **** up initially but they made an excellent rebound
Atari ruin the gaming industry in America along with all the other one shot system...
But there are a load more, a lot of these are screw ups imo, doesnt mean they are

*Ninjinister* · 06-12-2011, 10:52 PM

I despise Halo in general but none of the games scream "worst moments in gaming".

Yeah I a lot of people jst dont like Halo. I used to love it, but when Halo 3 came out. I tried to skip school and go pick it up. Well when I got home went and played it with a few friends. We beat the campaign, it was so, so. I was looking more towards the multiplayer and to my surprise it sucked balls. The game was glitchy, bad connections all around, horrible map designs, unbalanced teams 6v4, wtf bungie?????? It was jst a horrible let down all around for me. I held on to the game for three months and waited to see if they would fix it and alas they didn't do a thing....

*ssjup81* · 06-27-2011, 12:27 PM

The game wasn't that bad. It had a few things I didn't care for (I sorta did prefer the original music), but nothing much. It was fun overall. I just wish it'd been based on the SNES version as opposed to the arcade version.

*PizzaPower* · 06-27-2011, 04:38 PM

i love it. it doesnt derserve this.

herugrim · 08-26-2011, 01:00 AM

It took me awhile to get into this game but once I did I enjoyed it. I'm not a big fan of the 3D graphics because they aren't as detailed and kinda stiff, but that's subjective. They didn't do anything to adapt for the 3D gameplay, but it doesn't have that big a negative effect on gameplay (I still beat the game on my first playthrough without loosing all my lives). And some of the music may have changed, but as I recall Pizza Power is still there (unless I am thinking of Hyperstone Heist).

Also I'd add that using the voice actors from the newer show is much better then the generic voice actors featured in the original arcade game. Not as good as if they could get the original voice actors, but still an improvement. Overall it's much better then some of the newer games I've played (2k3, Mutant Nightmare on PS2) which is really pretty sad. Also it's fun to fight regular shredder sometimes, instead of Super Shredder.
