Which is the best (RELEASED) TMNT game to date - Page 2

*Zulithe* · 05-22-2013, 02:38 AM

Turtles in Time (snes) but I'm very fond of TMNT II (nes) and Manhattan Project. Basically, Konami was really killing it back then. We are very fortunate that such a fantastic developer was working on TMNT licensed games at that time.

Hope the games that spawn out of the Nick show and upcoming film can hold a candle or surpass them.

I was obsessed with the Arcade Game (NES), as well as the Manhattan Project follow-up (even if it was basically just a clone of the Arcade game with new levels).

With that said when Turtles in Time came out - i remember first seeing at an arcade at Magic Mountain and being absolutely blown away (as 9 year olds easily are) . And when the SNES port came out I was hooked.

My favorite Turtles Video game story is Tournament Fighter. I wanted that game SO bad. I was already hooked on Street Fighter 2, and a Turtles-esque cross-over? PLEASE! It was all i wanted that Christmas, and it was the one thing, Christmas morning, that i didn't get. I put on my best happy face, because I'm grateful for any/all Christmas gifts. And then about mid day my mom comes to me and calls me into her room. She pulls one last gift out - TOURNAMENT FIGHTERS! She actually apologizes to me. It seems she realized someone had been snooping in her room looking for Christmas Presents, which turned out to be one of my sisters, whom realized I didn't get that game that morning, and asked my mom about it / confessed what she had done.

All this talk is making me want to go back and play the 07 TMNT game. I never beat it - I have a tendency with modern games to start them and never finish them, but I keep buying more and more games. My backlog is insane.

I like the two arcade game versions most, but just for the convenience Turtles in Time on SNES is easily the best. 2 & 3 on NES and Hyperstone Heist are very good too though.

Thanks for the story

I can relate. How many times my parents pulled those kinds of tricks on me. I wish I had kids so I could pester them the same way.... hehehe

Makes for great memories.

What tough levels? The whole game is insanely easy.

this should be a poll, it is much easier to see people's opinions then.

as for me, i would choose battle nexus for the game boy advance. its the one i played the most out of all of them.

i had the 2003 and battle nexus gba games on 1 cartridge, which i no longer have

Thats an overstatement, Try to beat it on hard with one player and see how many lives you go through.

The best has to be Turtles in time for the SNES. But in my personal opinion, i really enjoy more Manhattan project and seriously don't understand why many people here at the forum underestimated it.
Maybe because here in Argentina it was easier to get your hands on a pirate chinese Famicom and the Songa (brazilian Sega genesis) than a SNES. So my friends and i would play the heck out of that game. For me, it touches a very strong nostalgic chord. That aside, i think it really improved gameplay on what the port of the first arcade game was. A unique special for every turtle and some very "interactive" levels (hanging from the border of a bridge, the submarine level, the multiple appearing holes on the floor, the conveyor belt at the technodrome) and a new roster of baddies. Plus, it was really long and fun.
But if i had to go with the best yes, i repeat, Turtles in time for the SNES.
