How close are the new Konami games to the story of the cartoons?

??? I saw a screen with some dialogue in it where they were talking about the mousers, and another after you meet casey jones, so I was wondering how closely the video games from Konami follow the new Ninja Turtles cartoons?

Close enough, Battle Nexus twisted a bit and added a new character and new cut scenes.

thanks for the quick reply fire.... so for instance, do you get to see all of season 1 get played out in the first game? or does it follow the first seven or eight episodes? Or does it follow season one and season two?

It starts out following the story loosely and it all builds up to rushing Shredder's palace kinda like Return To New York.

And the 2nd game starts off with your escaping his tower.

The first one is an abridged version of Season 1. No mention of Garbageman or adaptation of "The Search for Splinter".

'Battle Nexus' is a remix of Season 2. It was most of the same plot, but in a different order. It has some exclusive things, like the mercenary known as Slashuur.

'Mutant Melee' has hardly anything to do with plot at all. It's like a 'Final Fight' sort of game. The cool thing about it is the CGI mock-blooper clips that can be unlocked on it.

'Mutant Nightmare' is also a remix of Season 3, but to a much lower degree. It starts with fighting off the Triceraton invasion, then progresses to Shredder's banishment to the ice asteroid. However, "The Return of the Ultimate Ninja" was incorporated after you blow up Shredder's ship and the first set of credits play. Also, there are 25 of the TMNT shorts from Dong Woo on here that you can unlock by collecting DVD discs in the game. Funny stuff, but not all of them are available else where yet.

the reason i ask is this: I have yet to watch the new series. I've seen very little of it and that was back in 2003 when it came out. I missed several episodes due to work, and I decided to just not watch any until they came out of DVD. Well they came out in little 3-episode discs and I decided to wait for sets. Bad mistake. Doesn't look likely now. So I've been keeping up with the seasons and stuff, and the ninja tribunal (shame) and then FF came along, and I saw it on TV and thought it was terrible. So anyway I've decided to go ahead and take the plunge. I bought the first 8 volumes of the new TMNT and they're on their way in the mail. I also bought the first TMNT game on PS2 (to play on my PS3 since the 360 is only BC with the first one) Well I'm wondering if I should go ahead and invest in the other games, but it sounds like the answer is no.

Let it be known I'm a huuuuuuuuge turtles fan. Have been all my life, and I prefer the new artstyle/story telling to the old TMNT. I'm also new on this board, but I plan to be here a long time. Cowabunga!!!

The new Konami games just stink. I havn't even bothered finishing Mutant Mele for the Cube yet it's so dull, and I'm considering selling the first to GBA games. The ONLY one I had fun on was the DS Entry of Mele.

yeah, i'm playing the first one now and it's just full of some pretty uninspired elements, especially the level design. Oh well, Ubisoft will change all that.
