Does anyone like the Idea of Oroku Saki having his own Daughter like Karai?? Do you think Shredder 1987 would be a Better Father than 2003 and 2012????

I wanted to post the artwork and some instruction manual scans of the SNES version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tournament Fighters and the nice clean artwork of Rat King and Karai. Great work with the scans from Snes Legacy. Here's the Twitter page, https://twitter.com/sneslegacy

If anyone has all the extracted files from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Cowabunga Collection, be kind enough to send a link to my Tumblr please. I have not been having much luck getting those files. Thank You.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters (Sega Genesis)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters was released by Konami for the Sega Genesis in 1993, and is a completely different game, with a different story, than either the SNES or NES version.

Four clone versions of the Turtles appear and, what else, kidnap Splinter. The real Ninja Turtles then go on a trek across the galaxy to get him back. If I'm to give this game any credit, it's that at least this time April does not get kidnapped and is even a playable character! So there's that - probably the only nice thing I'll say about this game. I would mention that it's cool that you can play as Casey Jones, but he actually kind of sucks in the game, so never mind.

Of course, I'm not sure how much of it is that he sucks as a main or because the fighting mechanics are just broken or janky. That's my biggest gripe - the fighting feels so stilted, which is not helped by the bad frame rate (surprising for Genesis). The music and sound is a garbled mess, although I do love the music that plays during the character select screen.

The graphics are pretty drab, but I like the trippy, alien backgrounds for most of the levels. Overall, this is not only an inferior version of Tournament Fighters, compared with the SNES version, but a pretty bad fighting game in general.

Why does Oroku Saki and Karai have Lightning Powers in Konami's Classic TMNT Games and Dotemu's Shredder's Revenge, I don't know

These games aren't as good as I remember them being. Some of the music is, though. I dont remember them being so hard. Nostalgia is so funny. (Shredders infinite still works in tournament fighters) I am bad at all of these games Why did I do this, why, why.

[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time] : Color Mode

The Super Nintendo port of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time is as good, if not better than the arcade original. In my opinion though, the SNES version and the arcade original have differences that make them both worth playing.

One of those differences in the home port is actually hidden away in the game’s options menu. Within these settings, is the ability to choose between “animation” (the game’s default) and “comic” colors for the game’s playable characters.

These options are also available in the de facto Sega Genesis port, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist. Unlike the SNES game, the color changes aren't reflected on the character select screen.

While they’re labeled “comic” colors, I believe they’re probably based on the colors of the 1988 TMNT toy line.
