- Episode 27 - Let's take a trip down memory lane and play the OG home console TMNT NES game. This game gets a lot of hate, but does it deserve it? Some might disagree... let's take a deep dive and disarm those bombs!

Anyone who owned the game on release never said it was bad to begin with. It has poor controls and the enemy respawning sucked but this game was in everyones house on release n we loved it😂forget about kids who started 10 years later on more advanced hardwares opinions, those are obsolete.
I tried this game out not too long ago expecting nothing that good, but just started loving it more and more as I played.It’s an underrated gem for me
I never knew people disliked this game until TH-cam. I still love it.
My 2 games as a kid also were SMB3 and TMNT. All the other games we had growing up were like tetris, Dr mario and The olympics one with the step pad... forgot what it was called. Anyways yeah this game was hard for me as a kid. I remember the first time i beat the dam and i was like man i hope thats it..... NOPE. lol I think the farthest i ever made it as a kid was the technodrome but died before ever getting to shredder.
this game is a blast, and its one of those games that is in every retro game store for under $10
It became evident to me a few years back that most games that were "NES hard" were primarilly because I went to them from the simple gameplay of 2600 titles. I was an impatient child during the NES era and was usually playing the games like I was going for a speedrun. I didn't bother things like timing or patterns back then, and tried to brute force all progress. I was only completing a game back then if it had fairly generous health drops, or I could find an infinite lives code for my Game Genie.
This was always my favorite Turtles game. I was never a huge fan of the beat’em ups, because they were better played with friends, and I didn’t always have people around to play with. I liked adventure, and got it with this game. I beat it several times as a teenager, and then a couple more times years later as an adult. I never found the game to be all that difficult, nor have I ever understood why so many people hated it. It will always have a special place in my heart, along with its amazing music.
I'm playing this while watching! Dam good video. New Sub! Keep em coming!
This is the game of nightmares...the dam level is all I have to say. They had no mercy with NES games back in the day, you had a finite amount of lives that after depleting make you start over. If you lost an essential Turtle...or THE essential Turtle (Donatello) you were f'd. He had the only weapon that allowed you to cheat essentially with fights like Rocksteady just hitting downwards while he jumps into your hits. When you are stuck with Raphael and Michelangelo, you might as well restart...and that can be as early as just after the dam level.
Nice channel to randomly show up on my home page. Thanks Algo
I like the fact that you give your honest opinion about these games instead of just parroting the most popular TH-camrs like most game reviewers. I often wonder if they ever actually even play the games they review? Anyway, subbed! Very good content man, keep it up!
Beat-em ups tend to age the worst. You really have to be craving that specific gameplay loop to enjoy it, otherwise you’ll quit as soon as it gets boring.
Like Simon's Quest this is much more enjoyable with the corresponding issue of Nintendo Power by your side... and a bowl of Ninja Turtle cereal.
I really enjoy this game. I've finished it several times and it does provide a good challenge. I have one subtle gripe with this game that on the surface seems insignificant, but would've made this game far better in my humble opinion. If the enemies did not have invincibility frames. I-frames are the reason that Don is so far out in front of the other turtles in terms of power because his slow speed doesn't become a factor when the enemy can't be damaged. The enemy post hit invincibility lasts approximately one second. This essentially gimps the turtles that were meant to be faster, so everyone except Don! If you could dispatch a foot soldier with two quick swipes in rapid succession before he started getting all flippy dippy and jumping around, that would be amazing. If you could smack up chainsaw dude with a couple whacks before the dude could move, that would be awesome. My point being, the DPS loss these turtles suffer due to the I-frames makes their speed practically obsolete. Had they made that subtle change, we would've remember this game and the other three turtles way more fondly. Fun video :D
I remember beating TMNT on NES back in 2020. Took me 20+ years but I managed to win. I take it over the 2 NES sequels. It's tough yet beatable like Ninja Gaiden or Silver Surfer.
Both James and Mike has pointed out that they actually like the game(For the most part) :P
Aaah...I get it. The game the two games that hit me the most are Contra and Ninja Gaiden. I loved Ninja Gaiden so much that even though I got my Genesis on Christmas of 1989 I still couldn't put it down. I connected my new Sega Genesis up and went right back to playing Ninja Gaiden that Christmas Eve night. That's how hooked I was. ;)
This might be a dumb question but I always wondered why all the turtles have a red bandana on the cartridge art. I know in the original comic they were all red. It’s just weird that when playing the game they all have there separate colors but show them all with red on the cartridge.
I've always liked this game as a kid. Only got to stage 4 once though. There are some tricks that make the game easier, like being able to walk across 1 tile gaps. The game actually tries to teach you that. Of course we didn't have the internet back then to look these things up lol.
I was always a fan of this one. I was definitely bothered it wasn't closer to the tv show when I was a kid and back in the day I remember feeling like the coolest kid in the world when I got TMNT 2 for my birthday so I preferred the beat em ups then but today, yeah I'm with you. I still like both 2 and 3 but they're definitely repetitive while this one offers fun challenge and changes things up along the way.
