The Manhattan Project came out particularly late in the NES’ lifespan and really pushed the hardware to its limits. 4) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project (NES, 1992) A good old-fashioned beat ’em up featuring a nice art-style and silky smooth animation, this is easily the best Turtles game since their early-90s heyday.
#NINJA TURTLES GAMES TO MOVIE#
Ubisoft’s console game based on the 2007 CGI TMNT movie was mostly a disappointment, but the Game Boy Advance version of the game was shockingly cowabunga-worthy.
The game was at least as playable as, say, Mortal Kombat (yeah, I said it, bring it on) and had a really eclectic character selection that drew on the comics (both the Mirage and Archie version), cartoons and live-action movies. In 1993 Konami took a stab at stealing a piece of Capcom’s sweet, sweet Street Fighter Pie with TMNT: Tournament Fighters and, well, they weren’t exactly successful, but the game is nothing to be ashamed of. 6) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters (Genesis, SNES & NES, 1993) The game feels a bit like the original NES TMNT game, except, you know, actually good. With Radical Rescue Konami tried something a little different with their portable TMNT games, doing away with arcade action in favor of more platforming and a simple Metroid-style world. Back From the Sewers is a god-awful title, but a fairly competent take on Konami’s arcade-style Turtles games given the Game Boy’s harsh limitations.ħ) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: Radical Rescue (Game Boy, 1993) While Konami was kicking ass with Turtles games in arcades and on consoles, they were also churning out some pretty solid handheld games as well. 8) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Back From the Sewers (Game Boy, 1992) I also enjoy the weird busted pornstar April O’Neil featured in the game’s art. They had this baby at my local 7-11 for a while, and I recall it being a pretty solid game of pinball. 9) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pinball (1991)
