"The only minor issue is that the original voice work had to be replaced due to legal issues, but the new voices aren't at all bad, and don't ruin the experience in the least."

From a review with the link put on the official site:

Doesn't mention music but looks like bad news also

Trust me, if they leave the original music, I'll be happy in pants. I don't want another gimped version of an Arcade game I loved so much and have always wanted to come home in a truly faithful manner.

Now that they don't list music on that review, I will probably buy it. I will probably buy it anyway since I still own the first, and for the sake of being a completist, I won't look forward to unlocking the Arcade, nor care maybe, unless that music is changed.

Excuse me think I'll go vry in my corner now

X I know exactly how you feel man.

It is a blow to any TMNT fan's pride when they take out a huge chunk of the continuity of the original arcade game.

If I lived close to Konami's headquarters, I'd be outside of their building right now with a sign that says "WE WANT THE ORIGINAL ARCADE GAME, NOT JUST PART OF IT!"

Well, I have always thought that maybe one day they'd pull a Midway, or an Activision, and release some kind of Arcade compilation that had the Konami four player games in it. Namely TMNT, TMNT:TIT, X-Men, Sunset Riders, The Simpsons, and any others I may have forgotten about. Well when I first heard of this, and the rumors that both Arcades on there, I nearly lost it, I was like heck yea, bring it. Alas, after hearing that only the first would be added I was sorta down about it, but thought, well when and if TMNT 3 is a reality, maybe my favorite TMNT Arcade would finally come perfectly. I mean to hear those tunes and sounds on a home theatre and on a 53 inch TV, I couldn't wait. Then I see that video, I was like

Anyhow there's always MAME I guess. Here's hoping though, they bring it home with at least the music in tact. I won't miss the voices, however, they'd be nice too, since that would make it gimped as well.
