Who was/is your favorite Turtle to use in videogames?

Who was/is your favorite Ninja Turtle to use in video games? I know many of us picked the Turtle based on their weapon but wasnt necessarily our favorite Turtle. Although I liked to switch it up in these games using all 4 Turtles my preference was always Donatello.

Leo seems to always be the best.

As a kid i always picked raph, since he was my favorite. But in games like TMNT 4, the range of leo and don are more helpful imo. but i gotta go with raph since ive beaten games with him most

I know in the first game for the NES, Donatello was the go to guy, but in all the arcade style beat-um-ups, I always went with Raph. I mean, in a game like Turtles in Time does it really matter?

Agreed. Whenever I start playing a TMNT game, I choose Leo.

Yeah it seemed each turtle had the same advantage in Turtles in Time didn't it? These days when I play I always pick Raphael since he is my favorite turtle I never liked playing with Leo for some reason not sure why.

In Time's case, Raph had the most speed, which matters if you care about the time/point counter at game's end.

Anymore, in my current gaming sessions (save for the first NES game or Radical Rescue), I tend to play only one Turtle throughout a game, to see how far I can go with each specific one. In overall preference, I prefer Leo, as he is the Jack of All Stats, don'tcha know. Or I like the character, or he has good-to-decent range, even though, Don has better, etc.

In the original arcade game, my overall favorite was Michelangelo, for his nunchucks were ideal for close-in attacks, though not ideal for most boss enemies. In Turtles in Time, like you said, the Turtles' individual styles were less important, so I could use any Turtle. I haven't played any of the other games though.

Yep, vintage Raphael had speed but also a glass jaw.

Ironic that he morphed into the slow but strong character for the 2nd generation go-round of TMNT games, isn't it?

DonatelloDomeHead31 · 04-16-2012, 11:51 PM

Donatello in Turtles in Time & Tournament Fighters (SNES). Always my first choice.

Now for Manhattan Project...Donatello was a first choice but sometimes I chose Leo.

For the Arcade game...Michaelangelo. I'm told from reliable sources he's a good choice.

*ssjup81* · 04-19-2012, 12:29 AM

Can't say for the later games (like the ones based on the 4Kids series), but as a kid, I always always always chose Raphael, not because of his weapon, but because he was my favorite character (from the OT series and the movies). If I couldn't use Raph, I'd go to Mikey.

When playing the first arcade game a few weeks ago, my friend was with me, he chose Raph (as a kid, he always chose him too), and I used Donny. His long range is very useful.

Leonardo!

*Candy Kappa* · 04-19-2012, 07:51 AM

Leonardo and Donatello

*Plasticplayhouse* · 04-19-2012, 01:10 PM

I always use/used Leo. Him and Donnie are my fav turtles but I always preferred the katana over the bo.

IamtheNorm · 04-19-2012, 01:27 PM

Always picked Mikey if I was playing with more than one person, but if it was just me then I would pick Don.

*Powder* · 04-19-2012, 01:36 PM

Always Don. In the beat 'em ups he had good reach with his bo, and in TF his spin attack was bonkers. Leo on occasion for being my favorite turtle.

*MikeandRaph87* · 04-19-2012, 02:27 PM

I always will like Michelangelo the best but this is the one time I will choose Donatello first. His range can get me farther in any game than any of the other turtles especially in the first wave.Don for the win!

Nintendophile · 04-21-2012, 11:36 PM

Michelangelo first, Donatello second.

DonatelloDomeHead31 · 04-29-2012, 09:27 AM

I forgot about the 4Kids series ninja turtles games...but when I did play that series, I only chose Donatello--I was more familiar with him fighting.

now when i unlocked the Arcade game in the TMNT video game, then it was with Leo (it was the only turtle you could be if you were the 1 player).

Filespit · 05-06-2012, 05:18 AM

I always switch since I love them all, but if I have to pick one I'll say Raph. He's usually the strongest isn't he?
