Honestly, you gotta admire how they were able to pull off what they did with the NES version of Tournament Fighters. Maybe with a bit more tweaking and not being hard as balls, it could've been better received.
Still waiting for a release date. I suppose Konami delayed the game so it doesn't come around the same time as shredder's revenge and mess with the sales, though I think most people would buy both of them anyways, so I don't really see the big deal. Anyways good video, I'm mainly buying this collection to play Turtles in time on SNES, which is one of the best Beat em ups that came in the 90's. I sure miss the days when Konami make awesome games.
I honestly feel if Konami didn't sneak in "Ultra Games" in its earlier years, we would never see these TMNT masterpieces. So glad they decided to do what they did, to bypass all the Nintendo mumbo jumbo, then Nintendo became more lax with the SNES for Konami.
@@truemperahzentertainment6133 No it is not, that’s the general “placeholder” date for most games in a year (last day of the month) when the date has yet to be revealed.
Games back in the day used to have such great music. It was memorable and made you want to play the game as soon as you got off of school. The soundtrack to a game is so underrated.
ya they had bad jumping maniacs in the nes days and some people prais those types of games just because they were difficult becuse of the horrible manics sh
That Dec 31, 2022 is not the release date, it’s a place holder date that they hate to give games when they decide the year to release. It basically just means that they are expecting to release it in 2022 but haven’t picked the date yet so the system just puts the last day of the year in its place at default
TMNT Tournament fighters is the best NES fighting game. It has the best collision detection and physics, the special moves are easy to pull off and it also has turbo mode. You can tell by the way you play that you have never played this before. My only problem with it, is that it has only 7 playable characters.
Great idea for a video. But after the introduction, I was very disappointed you didn’t have any commentary. If you included this, I think your channel can grow very well.
The December 31st release date is just a placeholder. It'll come out before then for sure. Personally I'd rate TMNT1 on NES as good in your ratings scale. I think that's a really cool and interesting game in how it's structured. Too hard by the end, yeah, but the journey is fun.
I agree. I always liked the original TMNT game. It's not fantastic by any means but it's a good fun game that's fun to pick up and play once in a while.
@@nigelallison5549 I think the Technodrome at the end with those jet pack guys are a little ridiculous, but I got to that last hallway as a kid, so the game is doable.
Just want to throw out there that TMNT for the GBA is a very respectable beat’em up and follow up to the original series. I was hoping it would be here but since it’s a tie in to the 2007 movie I’m sure it can’t for legal reasons. Very much a hidden gem.
Turtles 2 on NES was the first game I ever finished, the soundtrack is still amazing and I look forward to playing it again, when this collection is on discount since 40 euros is too much for a nostalgia trip. Especially since several games are sort of repeats and I don't care for the gameboy games at all. I'd love to see them make a new tournament fighter since they made Shredder's revenge too. There's a lot of potential for the roster in a turtles fighting game and somehow they tossed in characters for these fighting games that weren't even in the cartoon or comics of this time. Could be cool to see Ninjara, Katmandu, Slash, Bebop, Rocksteady, Splinter, the frogs, fly Baxter and others on the roster.
👍. I always thought that both Shredder versions should have been in the SNES port. He could have broken mutagen on his arcade normal self & mutated into SNES Super Shredder. Prob time & memory constraints.
I used to play the heck outta all of these! Me and a buddy of mine used to stay up all night playing TMNT 3! This will finally be the only way i was ever gonna finish the Nes original aside from the times I emulated it on my computer. I still have great nostalgia for it and you gotta admit the music is catchy but fun or fair that game was not. I mean the turtles die if you fall in water yet there's a whole level based on swimming. Like WTF they're turtles for crying out loud!
Actually fighting games can work on the NES, look up Joy Mech Fight on the Famicom, it's actually a pretty solid fighter for an 8 bit game, and it's from the makers of Kirby, Hal Laboratories. I do own a majority of the games on this collection in their original forms, other than the arcade games of course, the NES version of Tournament Fighters (I kick myself for not buying it when I saw it years back for $10 locally, the price shot up on copies shortly after), and the third Game Boy game, which I have never spotted locally on my old game hunts, and is pretty expensive and has been for years.
Sorry mate but I cant agre with You about TMNT TF on NES. I’ve played many fighting games (MK series, SF series, GG series, SS series etc), and for me, TMNT TF on NES in turbo mode is great. Every character plays different, ballance is good, music and graphic are awesome.

I haven't played TMNT Tournament fighters since I was about 8 years old in 96! Being able to play that plus Turtles in time and the OG Nintendo TMNT game is going to be well worth the asking price for this collection. Can't wait!
TMNT 2 the arcade version will always be number one for me. The nostalgia and crowds around that machine waiting for a chance to play with a pocket full of quarters are unforgettable.
Who remembers using a game genie to play as Rat King and Karai in the SNES version of TMNT: Tournament Fighters? Will they be playable in this version?
Aaah but the original theme song to the show is going to be in the game just not where everyone thinks...watch the section that talks about the GameBoy titles. From roughly 16:10 forward you can hear a very nice 8-bit rendition of the song. Now, let's see if Konami catches it when the port is finished. ;)
You started out with a voice over but then seemed to give your thoughts in text at the bottom of the screen? Really should have done a short VO for each game. Apologies but I only watched 5 minutes.
The games I'm most likely to play from this collection would be TMNT1. I think it's fairly underrated, but it is hard kind of like most NES games. With a guide on how to beat it though it's not too difficult, without knowing what to do though it can be really frustrating unless you just do rewind, or save states instead of the old fashion way. Turtles in Time is always a good time. TMNT Arcade is great too. My favorite fighting game on the SNES is TMNT Tournament Fighters. It just has the best gameplay to me, and is actually played in some tourneys still! I might actually be the most excited for this if I can play it online. Side note, I'd place both Tournament Fighters for NES and Genesis in garbage tier. No reason to really play them. Though I will say your strategy of just jumping attack is better in the side scrolling beat em ups instead of those fighters. lol As cool as TMNT 2 and 3 on the NES was back in the day. I don't think they are too fun to play now. They are kind of slow moving, and lack a lot of animation. And get tedius really quick imo. They may have overshadowed TMNT1 originally. But I think TMNT1 on the NES is a much more fun experience today. Hyperstone Heist I never really played much of. But it always felt like a slightly worse Turtles in Time. Not a bad game though. Maybe I'd play it some time. Gameboy games I have no idea. Never played any of them.
Turtles 2 NES hasn't stood the test of time all that well, but I will tell you TMNT 3 on NES is an absolute blast to play, it had no arcade version to live up to, and if anything, that helped it in being unique. The Game Boy games are pretty good, though a little slower paced.
#BloodyNights you are so wrong....tmt ninja turtles are so fun to play even today...contra series...tmnt series... mario series..ninja gaiden series will be always fun to play.
Excellent: The Manhattan Project, Turtles in Time (SNES), The Hyperstone Heist Great: TMNT (Arcade), TMNT II: The Arcade Game, Turtles in Time (Arcade), Radical Rescue Good: Fall of the Foot Clan, Back from the Sewers, Tournament Fighters (SNES) Average: TMNT (NES), Tournament Fighters (NES) Garbage: Tournament Fighters (Genesis)
Nice video Greg. I think to me, the 3 games that sell this collection to the younger fans who have yet to play this game are the 2 arcade games from 1989 and 1991 and the Hyperstone Heist on Genesis. The 2 arcade hits are evergreen and timeless and the SNES Turtles in Time is just the arcade game with 2 players while the Hyperstone Heist while there are similarities in level design and the like from Turtles in Time? It is a different game. Out!
SNES turtles in time is VERY different from arcade. All new levels and more importantly, the turtles are different, some slower, stronger or better range. It’s way better than the arcade.
Turtles in Time SNES is a far different beast than it's arcade counterpart. I have played both many, many times, outside of some stages they don't quite play the same. You might be one of the few who are hyped for Hyperstone Heist, everyone else is geeked out for TiT SNES. Hyperstone Heist is good fun, but pales a bit in comparison compared to TiT. It feels like Konami just cobbled elements from other Turtles games, and threw them into Hyperstone Heist, nothing is original in it outside of Tatsu. The game's Boss Rush stage also feels like a cheap cash in just to add another stage to a game that lacks many stages, or much variety in them. The Boss Rush stage should've been scrapped, and maybe one or two more original levels should've been added in.
For me, I grew up with TMNT: The Hyperstone Heist. I absolutely loved that game as a kid. Briefly we rented TMNT: Tournament Fighters on Genesis, I hated it. Shortly following that, I remembered going to a friend's house whose playing the SNES TMNT: Tournament Fighters game. A couple years later, I had the Xbox 360 port of TMNT 1 Arcade. I guess I ended up on the rarer side with Sega here. Obviously play TMNT: The Hyperstone Heist don't bother with TMNT: Tournament Fighters on the same console.
It's just weird that they would have the theme song removed. It would be like having mario bros collection and not allowing the main theme to be present. Like why would you even allow that to be an option? Many of the stages have songs that simliar to the main theme so do those get redone too? I feel like this choice is really going mar this collection of games.
I can play Turtles in Time over and over again. Definitely the best of the bunch. Hyperstone stone is fine, but the 5 long levels instead of 10+ definitely weakens it. Boss rush at the end was so "who cares." I never really understood why anyone would prefer HH. I've played them both and beaten the multiple times and i kept going back to 1 over the other. Really none of the games are bad at all.
@@GregsGameRoom probably not very many and the popularity of Ninja Turtles was starting to drop around that time due to the failure of the 3rd movie and the cartoon was being overshadowed by Power Rangers as well as darker animated shows like Batman, X-Men and Gargoyles.
@@wallygator92 Who remembers the fifth turtle from that awful show the next mutation or the song pizza power from that singing turtle band thing they had? Yeah i think that's about when i stopped caring.
Yeah the Genesis/Mega Drive version of TMNT Tournament Fighters is terrible vs the SNES version and it is a lot more difficult too. I would have rated the Genesis version of TMNT Tournament Fighters garbage as well because of how it looks graphically if you look at the HUD and then look at the HUD of the SNES version on top of the difficulty level of the Genesis version vs SNES. The GameBoy TMNT games are very interesting especially the 3rd game they made it similar to a Metroidvania type of game.
I mean I’m not making a stink about the theme not being in the game I know what gaming I’m Playing i don’t need the theme to tell me what Game I’m playing . All I have to do is listen for a cowabunga,pizza time , let’s kick shell & look up & see four turtles with different colored bandannas , weapons & I already know it’s tmnt 😂
Imma get game just for nostalgic reasons only 😌 some games on this list I played as a kid some I missed out playing but shredder Revenge got most theses games beat play wise and look lol like that game is the arcade beat-em-ups we been looking for to play home since the 80's but I'm still going to get this collection
Dude, ain't you a bit harsh on Tour Fighters NES? Soundtrack and the sound effects are 👍 Yes, there's a limitation, but for an NES quality, this fighting game is above everything else there is, on NES.
I can't argue with your ratings. Although I would bump the original TMNT on the NES up one tier. I think that is a pretty decent game overall. The enemy selection is pretty poor but the gameplay, music and fun factor I there I thought. Except for that damn water level haha. And I wouldn't say tournament fighters for the NES was garbage... Haha not that great but garbage is a little harsh considering some of the terrible games the NES put out.
@@GregsGameRoom oh there's no doubt it's probably the worst game on the list. And as you stated, fighters just don't work on the NES that well. And the crazy thing is, that game is by far the most expensive one on the list too haha.
@@DonaldDnicefromtwitcH Demand's very high for this one, no way they don't release physical right away. This will not be a Limited Run Games release, Konami is doing the physical release themselves.
TNMT TF for NES is way better than must people think of in a first impression. I disagree on that the nes shouldn't have any fighting game when we live in a world where Joy Mecha Fight is a thing. The Genesis version in the other hand is quite hard to say something positive about it.
I wonder why they weren’t able to get the theme song, because the newly released Shedders Revenge has it with Mike Patton singing. Also I’m surprised you rated Tournament Fighters on Snes excellent because I’d much rather play any of the Street Fighter games that released on that system, it’s okay but it definitely ain’t Street Fighter.
That garbage ranking of NES tournament fighter is rough, I think they did great with the hardware, I prefer the NES version over the Genesis, it was more fun in my opinion, but hey its your ranking.
The NES version is trash Konami should of done a remake on those if they wanted to add them im buying it to play the arcade versions so I should not have to pay $40
Tournament fighters a gem! We need a power ranger collection like this for us 90s babies
Big Apple 3 am. Man the memories, got to get this.
TMNT II: The Arcade Game will always be one of my favorites. So many hours invested with great memories to boot! Good one, my friend!
Yeah, I used to beat it regularly. Looking back though... what a chore it was!
It's the best followed by turtles in time.
Best side scrolling beat'em up of all time.
Followed only by battletoads 2.
Good time to be a TMNT fan love this and Shredder Revenge game❤
The TMNTurtles arcade game and the Simpsons alongside Xmen I spent a pretty penny as a child so nostalgic
My S Tier Excellent Games are
1. TMNT TIT SNES
2. TMNT Hyperstone Heist Sega Genesis
3. TMNT 1989 Arcade
4. TMNT 3 Manhattan Project NES
All of those are a ton of fun!
TMNT TIT Arcade Version is good
Honestly, you gotta admire how they were able to pull off what they did with the NES version of Tournament Fighters.
Maybe with a bit more tweaking and not being hard as balls, it could've been better received.
Genius ;p
I would rate the tournament fighters on Mega Drive as garbage. Way too hard, I actually cried tears of anger as a kid playing that crap.

Turtles 2 on NES was the first game I ever finished, the soundtrack is still amazing and I look forward to playing it again, when this collection is on discount since 40 euros is too much for a nostalgia trip.
Especially since several games are sort of repeats and I don't care for the gameboy games at all.

There's a lot of potential for the roster in a turtles fighting game and somehow they tossed in characters for these fighting games that weren't even in the cartoon or comics of this time.
Could be cool to see Ninjara, Katmandu, Slash, Bebop, Rocksteady, Splinter, the frogs, fly Baxter and others on the roster.
Turtles in Time is one of those rare games where the console is better than the arcade
👍. I always thought that both Shredder versions should have been in the SNES port. He could have broken mutagen on his arcade normal self & mutated into SNES Super Shredder. Prob time & memory constraints.
Then you must not have played the arcade game in a while. Basically everything about it is superior.
@@The_Bad_Guy. the only thing the arcade version has better is 4 player and animations.
@@capt2001 I would say that's pretty significant
The SNES version is great, but the arcade game had much better sound and felt a tad smoother in my opinion.

I can play Turtles in Time over and over again. Definitely the best of the bunch. Hyperstone stone is fine, but the 5 long levels instead of 10+ definitely weakens it. Boss rush at the end was so "who cares." I never really understood why anyone would prefer HH. I've played them both and beaten the multiple times and i kept going back to 1 over the other. Really none of the games are bad at all.
Yeah they should have broken up HH more. I understand a hack is in progress to make it more like Turtles in Time. Should be awesome.
HH needed to be on a larger cart I think. 8 megs was pretty small considering all the animation on the turtles and the various sprites.
Placeholder release date. Nothing ever launches on 12/31.
Don't know why they even made the nes version of Tournament Fighters seeing the nes was pretty much dead in 1994.
$$$. Wonder how many copies they sold?
@@GregsGameRoom probably not very many and the popularity of Ninja Turtles was starting to drop around that time due to the failure of the 3rd movie and the cartoon was being overshadowed by Power Rangers as well as darker animated shows like Batman, X-Men and Gargoyles.

Who remembers the fifth turtle from that awful show the next mutation or the song pizza power from that singing turtle band thing they had? Yeah i think that's about when i stopped caring.
@@jasondillon2462 those were dark times for the franchise.
@@wallygator92
Indeed! Right about then is when i was like "I crave TMNT no more"
I got all these on my jailbroken snes mini and sega genesis mini. They should've added scanlines
10/10 100/100 awesome collection for Nintendo swich
I want to play this so bad but don't have a ps Xbox nor switch
It’s also on PC
I'll be getting that on steam.
Yeah the Genesis/Mega Drive version of TMNT Tournament Fighters is terrible vs the SNES version and it is a lot more difficult too. I would have rated the Genesis version of TMNT Tournament Fighters garbage as well because of how it looks graphically if you look at the HUD and then look at the HUD of the SNES version on top of the difficulty level of the Genesis version vs SNES. The GameBoy TMNT games are very interesting especially the 3rd game they made it similar to a Metroidvania type of game.
I mean I’m not making a stink about the theme not being in the game I know what gaming I’m
Playing i don’t need the theme to tell me what Game I’m playing . All I have to do is listen for a cowabunga,pizza time , let’s kick shell & look up & see four turtles with different colored bandannas , weapons & I already know it’s tmnt 😂
Imma get game just for nostalgic reasons only 😌 some games on this list I played as a kid some I missed out playing but shredder Revenge got most theses games beat play wise and look lol like that game is the arcade beat-em-ups we been looking for to play home since the 80's but I'm still going to get this collection
Dude, ain't you a bit harsh on Tour Fighters NES? Soundtrack and the sound effects are 👍 Yes, there's a limitation, but for an NES quality, this fighting game is above everything else there is, on NES.
I've actually played pirate/unlicensed one-on-one fighters that were MUCH better.
So is excellent better than great? Or just two words that mean same thing.
I can't argue with your ratings. Although I would bump the original TMNT on the NES up one tier. I think that is a pretty decent game overall. The enemy selection is pretty poor but the gameplay, music and fun factor I there I thought. Except for that damn water level haha. And I wouldn't say tournament fighters for the NES was garbage... Haha not that great but garbage is a little harsh considering some of the terrible games the NES put out.
I may have been a bit harsh on NES Tournament Fighters. But after playing the SNES (and even Genesis versions) that one just frustrated me!
@@GregsGameRoom oh there's no doubt it's probably the worst game on the list. And as you stated, fighters just don't work on the NES that well. And the crazy thing is, that game is by far the most expensive one on the list too haha.
i need this collection right goddamn now holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please make a similar video for Capcom Fighting Collection really exited for Drakstalker comeback
Hm, I've only heard of a couple of those games!
I know but I really exited for Gem Pocket fighter and Darkstaler Vampire saviors cant wait for this friday release
Turtles in time Snes and arcade, the arcade version of the teenage mutant ninja turtles, mainhaten project and hyper stone hist are my top 5.
Hyperstone Heist is one I really want to play. Never had a Genesis so I missed out on that one
Its be digital 1st on all platforms at launch n physical later
That’s Shredder’s Revenge, it hasn’t been confirmed / denied that physical will not be released in tandem with digital.
@@jacobniehaus U see no physical copies at launch trust me I know mine tech stuff it be digital only on all platforms at launch u see
@@DonaldDnicefromtwitcH Demand's very high for this one, no way they don't release physical right away. This will not be a Limited Run Games release, Konami is doing the physical release themselves.
TNMT TF for NES is way better than must people think of in a first impression. I disagree on that the nes shouldn't have any fighting game when we live in a world where Joy Mecha Fight is a thing. The Genesis version in the other hand is quite hard to say something positive about it.
I wonder why they weren’t able to get the theme song, because the newly released Shedders Revenge has it with Mike Patton singing.
Also I’m surprised you rated Tournament Fighters on Snes excellent because I’d much rather play any of the Street Fighter games that released on that system, it’s okay but it definitely ain’t Street Fighter.
True, not quite as good as SF2. But it’s Excellent when compared to the other 12 games in the collection.
I’ll finally have the chance to get past the third level of tmnt 1.
That garbage ranking of NES tournament fighter is rough, I think they did great with the hardware, I prefer the NES version over the Genesis, it was more fun in my opinion, but hey its your ranking.
SO THATS WHERE SNK GOT ITS RYO STRIKE !!!! FROM SHREDDER !!! WOOOOW !!!
I thought the release date was August 30th 2022.
Ohhhhhhhhh he callled that game garbage 🗑! Ohhhhhh ohhhh oooo
Dang son dang dang
I have a release date for August 30th 2022 on Nintendo Switch?
So this collection isn't coming out the same day as shredders revenge? I'm so disappointed..very stupid on there part
Probably better not to have two TMNT games come out too close to each other so they don’t compete.
@@GregsGameRoom it would of been nice to have both same day and try the others as well
Shame about the theme song... that might be enough to turn me off to this release. (That and the fact that I don't need any more games, ha.)
what System should I get this PS4 or SWITCH?
June 24th! Be ready!
The NES version is trash Konami should of done a remake on those if they wanted to add them im buying it to play the arcade versions so I should not have to pay $40
Getting this mainly for tornament fighter snes
So Turtlevania is a bad thing?
12:41 did donatello bite chrome dome he biting steel
They need to add the gba turtles games too
Those weren't classic tmnt, they were games based on the 2000's reboot.
Anyone know if it’ll come with the rewind feature?
