Official Nintendo Magazine writes: "Well, here's a surprise. There have been many Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games over the years, and the vast majority of them have been absolutely rancid. Indeed, last year's movie tie-in was so inconceivably craptastic that it wasn't fit to shred for terrapin litter. So imagine our surprise when we sat down for our first hands-on session with Smash Up and the shocking realisation began to dawn on us that... no, surely not... it can't be... yup, it's actually really rather good. Believe.
Here's the deal. It's the Turtles' 25th anniversary this year, so to celebrate, Ubisoft called up Japanese developer Game Arts with the idea of creating a Wii-exclusive brawler to mark the occasion. So, why should you care? Because Game Arts count ex-members of the Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Dead Or Alive (the much-loved busty arcade beat 'em up) teams among their ranks. Clearly, when it comes to fighting games, this lot know their onions."
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been on many consoles since it was released on the NES back in 1989. Many fans of TMNT who grew up during the late 1980s and early 1990s may have watched the TV show.
So do I and watched the 1987 TMNT on TV and video tapes. I had one video tape that had the Burger King Kid's Club promo.
Glad to hear that your kids also love TMNT.
Go ninja, go ninja, go!
From the original arcade game to the most current releases, Prima Games has you covered on the history of Ninja Turtles, dude.
ahhh i remeber this game on the snes, as far as memory can tell it was either this or battletoads doubledragon as the first game i laid eyes on since birth i was below the age of four, cant really remeber it well now lol
Turtles in Time is one if my favorite games ever. And it is probably the games I've beaten the most times. My cousin and I beat it dozens upon dozens of times to improve our completion time.
It was the perfect beat'em up game.
Still hope they revisit this franchise and give it the Batman Arkham City treatment.
GotGame: We take a retrospective look back at the TMNT games throughout the years. Not every game, mind you, but the key titles that have shaped their gaming history and why they helped or hurt the legacy of TMNT.
