TMNT T.I.T. for SNES and for arcade

NeoBix · 08-11-2004, 04:53 PM

That's a kind of funny abbreviation for Turtles In Time lol

but anyway... did anyone notice that in the SNES version when you get to Super Shredder at the end he doesn't have a green laser sword (kind of like a light sabre from Star Wars) in the SNES version, but in the arcade version he has better animation, more detail and also has a cool green laser sword.

sure the SNES version is great, but I just noticed that and wonder why they didn't give him a sword in the home console version.

In the arcade version, he doesn't turn into Super Shredder, which is why his attacks (and animations) are different.

There are other differences as well. In the arcade you don't fight Rat King. In the SNES you go to the Technodrome after the sewers, and are from there sent back in time, but in the arcade you are sent back in time from the sewers. In the arcade in the prehistoric part you fight a mud monster, in the SNES you fight Slash. On the pirate-themed level you fight Tokka and Rahzar in the arcade, and Bebop and Rocksteady dressed as pirates in the SNES (you fight Tokka and Rahzar in the earlier mentioned technodrome level).

interesting... yeah you're right. i didn't catch those before. in the first arcade game, didn't they put a special snow level on the NES version that wasn't in the arcade? and you have to fight a mutated polar bear or wolf or something at the end who has a freezing gun

Yeah they added two stages to TMNT 2 for NES. One is the one you mentioned, and the other was a japanese style building and the boss was a Samurai Looking guy.

the arcade version is also 4-players, has more sounds, better graphics, more enemies on-screen, and is much more challenging.

JDavis · 08-12-2004, 09:40 PM

The graphics are pretty close. About as close as they could do on the SNES. I always thought it was funny that they through in an option to change the Turtles' palletes to something that was supposed to be like the comic versions

Plus, they added a cheap versus mode and Time Trial mode.

And there was also a two player version of the arcade Turtles in Time, you know.

*Spitfire* · 08-12-2004, 09:55 PM

Yeah but Ive never seen one They were always 4 player

Ive only seen 2 player for the orgnial game

jasonorme666 · 08-22-2004, 09:54 AM

Ok, i own the arcade machine, and the snes cart, the differences

"Roadkill rodneys were replaced by robots with boxing mits"

"You do not fight Rat king in the arcade version"

"You dont have the first technodrome level in the arcade version"

"There are no mousers in the arcade version"

"Rocksteady and Bebop are no in the Arcade Version"

"You fight Tokka & Rahzar on the Pirate Ship"

"Shredder does not turn into super shredder"

"Rock soldiers have more weapons in the arcade version"

"Neon night riders is at a side scrolling perspective"

"Instead of fighting slash you fight Cement Man"

there are just a few of the differences.

NeoBix · 08-22-2004, 11:31 PM

I like the arcade version more than the SNES version.

jasonorme666 · 08-23-2004, 05:04 AM

Yup, me too.

Plus the music kicks ass on the real machine.

Hyper Metal Sonic · 08-23-2004, 06:43 PM

If you really want to see a difference, put the SNES and Arcade versions next to each other and compare the animation. The SNES version seems to be missing over 1/3 of the frames of animation.

jasonorme666 · 08-23-2004, 07:01 PM

I would... but the arcade machine is too heavy to move...

roms are bad.. tut tut...*downloads more roms*

Once I get my arcade emulator working I'll try and rip some sprites to offer as comparisons.

From what I've seen/played of the arcade, it's much more articulate. Not surprising, actually, as that's the way arcades have been compared to console releases since the beginning of the video game age.

There are few "perfect" translations to consoles, even today. Well, if there are I apologize for my ignorance and would encourage you all to enlighten me.

NeoBix · 08-23-2004, 10:38 PM

acute observation Hyper Metal Sonic, and actually I noticed the exact same thing... the SNES Turtles in Time has MUCH worse animation. The arcade version feels and looks a lot smoother and just better overall. In fact... if you will notice, in the SNES version, when you fight Super Shredder at the end of the game, he only has TWO, and I repeat TWO animation sprites when he is walking. It is ridiculous and looks terrible!!!

Orochi Chimera · 08-25-2004, 07:28 PM

The arcade version has much better graphics. I haven't played the arcade version for years until recently and was really surprised to see how different it was.
