Tournament Fighters! Yes.

*TigerClaw* · 03-09-2022, 03:23 PM

I wonder if they will include the ones on Genesis as well.

Demented Utrom · 03-09-2022, 03:29 PM

Yeah the last last konami collections included the Genesis Castlevania and Contra.Has all old the games expect the TMNT 2003 ones. Probably digital like the last 3 konami collections.I have Arcade 1up TMNT collection.Last konami collections came to Xbox,Switch,Playsation, and Steam.

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 03-09-2022, 03:34 PM

Awesome! Now no one will have to pay over $100 for the NES Tournament Fighters!

But seriously, this is amazing!

Is this confirmed for Switch or Xbox?

Chaotix12345 · 03-09-2022, 03:35 PM

I CANNOT believe this. This is the game collection of my DREAMS and to see LIKE EVERYTHING thrown in (including the multiple versions of games like Turtles in Time and Tournament Fighters) is more than I EVER thought we would ever actually get. 10000000000% buying this and if a physical version is announced, it is MINE. (Hopefully it'll get confirmed for other platforms like Switch soon as well.) To get this IN ADDITION to Shredders Revenge this year is just...*chef's kiss*.

No, weirdly enough it seems to be a PS exclusive. I'm not sure why but for now at least, it seems to be one.

*oldmanwinters* · 03-09-2022, 03:57 PM

Well, good for Sony if they ponied up the dough to get this done. I do hope it at least comes to Steam eventually. I wonder if it will feature a production art gallery like the Konami Anniversary Collections. Also, will all the original music make the transition this time?

~~Sumac~~ · 03-09-2022, 03:59 PM

So, all of the classic TMNT games (sans Manhattan Missions) in the collection?
Konami pulled its head out of its ass for 5 minutes?

I wonder how many titles will have online support?
Ideally all of them, sans TMNT'89 and Game Boy titles. It would be fan to play NES TF online, lol.
Oh, and, of course, I hope for the PC version.

My gut feeling is only the two arcade titles since the work was already done for that via Arcade1up WiFi cabs. But maybe Digital Eclipse will impress me.

Edit:
The arcade beat ‘em ups all have online co-op, but no claim was made about the fighting games.

*TigerClaw* · 03-09-2022, 04:25 PM

This is going to have all 3 versions of Tournament Fighters, NES, SNES and Genesis.

*CyberCubed* · 03-09-2022, 04:25 PM

I've been fantasizing about something like this for over 10+ years! WOW

It also HAS EVERY CLASSIC KONAMI game! Here's the list:

TMNT 1 (NES)
TMNT II: The Arcade Game (NES)
TMNT III: The Manhattan Project (NES)
Tournament Fighters (NES)

TMNT IV: Turtles in Time (SNES)
Tournament Fighters (SNES)

TMNT HyperStone Heist (Genesis)
Tournament Fighters (Genesis)

TMNT: Fall of the Foot Clan (Gameboy)
TMNT II (Gameboy)
TMNT III: The Radical Rescue (Gameboy)

Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game (Arcade, original 1989 release)
Turtles in Time (Arcade version)

THAT'S EVERY CLASSIC GAME! They didn't miss any! BOTH the Arcade versions of TMNT II and IV AND the SNES versions! All 3 tournament fighters! All 3 Gameboy games!

13 games! WOWOWOWOWOWOWoWOWOPWOWO

*Andrew NDB* · 03-09-2022, 04:28 PM

Yeah, yeah, everyone that wanted them has had the ROMs for them for 20+ years now. This is kind of "easy money" stuff Konami is doing these days instead of stuff like new Castlevania games.

How come no Final Fight 1-3?

Demented Utrom · 03-09-2022, 04:28 PM

Hopefully its not just Playstation getting the collection.Wouldn't mind playing this game on my Xbox Series X in 4K.Final Fight games is capcom.Konami is a different company then capcom.Last Konami collections included the japanese and european verisons of castlevania and contra. Dont know if this one will.

Um... you realize this isn't going to play in 4K, right? It's not even going to play in 1080p. Or 720p. Or 480p. It's going to play at its native, glorious 224p. It's not even clear if there's a "smoothening" option.

*IMJ* · 03-09-2022, 04:33 PM

That is an amazing collection, but I'm pretty confident that I have every one of those ROMS on my RG-350 which hooks up to an HD TV anyway.

But still - very cool set. Wonder if it will be PS4 and 5 or just PS5?

*CyberCubed* · 03-09-2022, 04:35 PM

I can't believe TMNT will be both Game of the Year 2022 with the new Shredder's Revenge game and with this retro collection.

It shows "PS4 | PS5" at the end of the trailer. Absolutely 0 reason this would be only playable on PS5, though it would be hysterical if it was.

It won't even make the list. It's going to rate better than Dying Light II? Gotham Knights?
