There’s significantly more voice acting in the arcade version and most of it is comprised of one-liners which are both corny and humorous. On Super Nintendo, the stage introductions are voiced and most dialogue is in text form. It should be noted that if you beat the game on the hardest difficulty mode in the Super Nintendo version, you can watch the special or true ending. The plot is certainly silly and the game plays out in scenes or stages. The Turtles spring into action and fight the Foot Clan on the streets and in the sewers of New York, and the Technodrome if playing the Super Nintendo version, before Shredder sends them through a time warp where they fight Shredder’s army in both the past and future. Krang flies in and steals the Statue of Liberty and then Shredder laughs because that’s what evil villains do. The intro cut scene shows the Turtles watching a news broadcast, with April O’Neil reporting from Liberty Island. We would have covered it in this review but it’s not available at this time. A remake titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled was developed by Ubisoft and released for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network in 2009 and from what I hear, it sucks. We played the arcade version using the MAME emulator and we played the Super Nintendo version on the Analogue – Super NT system. For this review, Jeremy and I played through both versions. It was ported to the Super Nintendo in 1992 and re-titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time to continue the numbering from earlier games on the NES. What’s not to like? Developed and published by Konami, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time is a beat ‘em up arcade game released in 1991. They’re obsessed with pizza and they kick ass.
Despite my lack of knowledge on the franchise, I love the turtles. From what I understand, the turtles we know today are vastly different than how they were originally depicted in the comic book. I’ve seen most of the films, played a few of the games, and that’s about it.
It could have been comics, movies, TV shows, games, maybe you saw or owned some TMNT merchandise, and at this point, they’re pretty well known. Honestly, I haven’t paid attention to most of the TMNT media but I know they first appeared in a comic book and I guess they just took off from there. If you were around in the eighties and nineties, you probably saw the turtles in something. They fight crime and evil and their archenemy is Shredder, the leader of the criminal organization known as the Foot Clan. They’re ninjas that live in the sewers of New York City and were trained by their rat sensei, Splinter. Everyone has heard of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, right? Well if not, TMNT is franchise about four teenage anthropomorphic turtles named after artists.
