8:47 Worth noting, Tatsu is also Shredder's right hand man from the TMNT films.
Isn't this the only game he has been in?
Duhhhhhhh...
TriangularOrb if he isn’t the muscular blonde dude from the 00’s show, then yes
@@TriangularOrb Yeah.
@@Futuredynamo Done people have not watch the tmnt movies from the 90,s.
I really like Hyperstone Height’s run button. It may seem like a small thing, but it makes a difference in combat. Double tapping the d-pad or or using auto run on TiT just didn’t have the responsiveness of using that button. Because of that, I feel like combat is a little better in HH than TiT. Still, I agree that overall TiT edges it out as the better game and I prefer both to the arcade (at least for single player).
Totally agree with you, mate!
I agree 👍
True. Options can change it from holding down to a double tap but a single run button is still a faster method. Instead of having to step before you run, it's just an instant run.
I prefer the classic double tap xD run buttons are more for platform games. But I guess it's a matter of comfort.
@@xGunbladeKnightx honestly I actually prefer the holding down method "comfort wise" but the run button is fastest, followed by double tap. The holding foward "auto run" is the slowest but since it's default I got use to it.
An auto fire controller for punch wouldn't be bad either.
I miss the Konami of those days, especially the Musical effects and overall Music in thier games
Yr not the only the sounds use to call you wanna check out the game esp at laudromat arcade
Konami needs to stop playing around and releases all their Arcade Games in a Konami Collection. I know they have done a few between the Nintendo DS and XBOX 360 physically, but they’re were bare bones, had only about four-seven games in each compilation and included games that weren’t that popular in comparison to their licensed games. *sigh*!
He didn't know what the Mousers were. For shame.
I was completely unaware of this one. My buddy and I are planning a monthly retro gaming night. First up are beat-em-ups. Considering we've both played Turtles in Time, this should be a fun title to go through.
Have fun dudes!!!
I don’t think it’s better than either Hyperstone Heist, or Turtles in Time, but the NES game TMNT 3 the Manhattan Project is very good. Easily the best Beat em Up on the NES.
I have all three NES turtles games that I play on my retron 3 system. Turtles the Manhattan Project definitely holds up well. I also like the original Ninja Turtles game, it's just a hard game and I like the difficulty level.
i actually like tmnt 3 manhattan project more than turtles in time
Manhattan project was the best TMNT game of all time!! And it was on nes!!
Not even close. The best beat em up on the NES is Double Dragon 2.
I agree too it would be amazing to see the Manhattan project remade with the way the turtles fight in turtles in time with there original special moves!!
If you had a Genesis/Megadrive instead of a SNES, then Heist was a perfectly good substitution but it didn't even have Bebop in it and tried to cheat by giving Rocksteady his color scheme when you fought him again. The game in whole feels a bit slap-dashed so it's hard to say it's the better game.
Its not hard. Its not better its simple fact.
@@ryanjackson7387 Agreed. It was never even a question.
The flying robots on Stage 2 are Mousers, which were plentiful in the original TMNT arcade game, although they didn't fly like these did. I think the Baxter Stockman boss battle in HH is identical to that one?
Kenneth Chia I think so, yes.
I still have my copy of TMNT the hyperstone heist
I'm very jealous... I just looked up prices.
Mine was stolen by a neighborhood acquaintance when I was about 11 years old! Very unfortunate. I did manage to get a boxed copy of Hyperstone Heist much later though in a trade. It was missing manual, however. About a year after I got the boxed copy, I was in my parents house looking around in my old closet and I found my old manual for Hyperstone Heist! I now have a complete copy on a shelf at home. : )
i still have a perfect copy of this game, box and manual.💪
it's among my collection of best 100 sega games :D
Wow that Shredder is so 90's masculine in the pink t-shirt
I played this game religiously as a kid: I didn't get to play TIT until years later.
I'm a sega boy through and through. But I have to give this one to turtles in time on the snes. I don't concede often, but I have no choice this time. This is still great though. Absolutely stunning game.
Absolutely love this game, i can play it again and again! Love this forever!
Greetings from Russia, Top Hat! Best wishes!!
I still have my copy from when I was a little kid, and play it to this day with my brother lol
Seeing this video brought back memories .. I had tmnt 4 back in the day .. the 90s was truly the best decade
While Hyperstone Heist feels like a consolation prize for Genesis/Mega Drive owners who didn't have the SNES, it seems more like a best of sampler. They combined elements of both arcade games, explaining Rocksteady and Baxter's boss modes. It's weird that the game is the same yet slightly different when you look at other cartoon licenses Konami made for both the SNES and Genesis. The Animaniacs and Tiny Toons games are radically different on both systems. It was probably easier to just make a similar game with a similar fighting engine and just combine elements of the two arcade TMNT games. But massive credit to adding Tatsu as a console exclusive boss. Turtles in Time and Manhattan Project both had Tokka and Rahzar, but it's great to see another movie exclusive character in the game.
Oh. And here's the strange thing about Hyperstone. It's actually LONGER than TiT. It has less stages, sure, but they're longer and there are much more Foot Soldiers thrown at you. If you check the endings of both games, they have a time code. It takes less than a half hour to complete TIT, but over 40 minutes to complete HH.
Damn my child hood Sega Genesis. Memories and also Turtles in time was also good
My favorite Tmnt game is the 2003 one based on the amazing 2003 series. I still going back to it occasionally. It's a great example of a 3d beat em up in an era where those types of games were dead.
Funny I was thinking about this game all weekend along with Turtles In Time. To be honest, Hyperstone Heist is basically TIT for the Sega Genesis. Still fun to play though....
First tmnt arcade game is my fav of all time, but graphic and gameplay wise turtles in time is stunningly amazing
Tatsu was also from the films like Toka & Razor and Super Shredder. Some of the stages and bosses also came from the 1st TMNT arcade game, which may have included those that came from the NES TMNT 2 arcade game.
I'm. Pretty sure that baxter boss is just a recycled asset from the first tnmt arcade game as well. Hyperstone heist just seems a very patched together game rather than an original concept. I still preffer the first arcade tnmt to either heist or tit though. Purely due to it being the first turtles game I played and enjoyed
Baxter and Rocksteady are recycled from the first arcade game. Baxter is s straight rehash, whereas Rocksteady, while mechanically the same, he has a new Sprite.
The "new" asian stage looks to be an up-rez'd version of the NES TMNT 2's added asian-themed stage. This whole game looks very frankenstein-patchwork & the re-colored bosses is just lazy. No dual boss confrontations in this game, either.... Why no Be-Bop?
The sewer stage from hyperstone reminded me of the nes turtles 2 as well.
My first two genesis games were streets of rage 1 and hyperstone heist I completed them every weekend seems like.. Good times
I had different beat'em up games for my Mega Drive, such as Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, Power Rangers (surprisingly great), ... but the one I think I ended playing most was The Punisher. The iconic character, detailed visuals and fantastic controls, including a unique shooting mechanic, made that title what for me is one of the best games of the genre.
The Hyperstone Heist appears to be a mix of both TMNT arcade games, the mousers, the rolling cars from the streets and the robot enemies are all from the first arcade game and Rocksteady plays more like when he’s the first stage boss. The Stockman boss fight is from the first arcades sewer level. And a lot of the technodrome hazards like the pop up freezing traps are from the technodrome level from the first arcade game
Love these Mad Stories. Keep up the great work THGM.
The combat in the HH is much faster and fun. In the TiT I always missed the jump kick that I wanted.
Love the thoroughness of all the games you have covered. Awesome work love it
This was one of my absolute favorite games as a kid on sega.
I was a Sega fanboy growing up but Turtles in time is the better game of the two.
I played both games. If only Hyperstone Heist had more levels and content.
I had this one and I loved it. Regretfully, it was very short.
If they added just one more level, it would of been perfect.
Wow, Shredder is shredded! 4:22
Anyone else found themselves completely immersed in the background music? Turtles music in beat them ups is that awesome!
Hyperstone Heist may not have quite the peak visual flare or epic sense of scale that Turtle’s In Time did, but it was a great-looking and playing TMNT/TMHT title, especially on Sega’s console.
4:28 goddamn Shredder is Shredded.
I never realized they were THAT different.
And he said tit.... heh.
Turtles in Time for SNES is the best ever.
Love that mis-colouring of the turtles’ bandannas on the thumbnail. That’s a nice touch. 👌
Hyperstone Heist seems like a mash up of Turtles in Time and original Turtles arcade game with a few other odds and ends thrown in
I do own this game. Time to play it now. Great video, Mr Top Hat!
Video games, movie, cartoon, I'm a huge teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan til this day
Weird how the TMNT beat em-ups did not support the muti-tap if the systems had one
This game is such a classic for me. My top 3 turtles games are Turtles in time, Hyperstone heist and the 2003 Gamecube game. Quality games.
Hyperstone heist is my favorite turtles game.
Hyperstone Heist seems to borrow assets from TMNT Arcade 1 and 2 (Turtles in Time). Tatsu looks like the only unique boss mentioned that isn't in either of those games. Which is what I found the most interesting actually about this. I'm pretty sure Tatsu is a exclusive to Sega character from the live action movies... much like Tokka and Rahzar are whom appear only in the SNES and NES versions.
Will you take a look at the remake of Turtles in Time on 360 and PS3?I don't think TMNT: Turtles in time Re-Shelled is really available anywhere, sadly.
Ubisoft lost the license. You may be able to "find" it & run it via modded PS3 or emulation.
Turtles in time (snes) is the best beat em up off the 16-bit era
I own copies of both, enjoy both, and always play them back to back.
Hyperstone Heist not only recycled from Turtles in Time, but also from the first Arcade Konami TMNT game.
SUPER 😃!!! Thanks THGT! Although, I stopped halfway through so that I can experience it for myself. 😄
TMNT: Recycled Assets the game! LOL Hyperstone Heist is a good game and I'm sure for Genesis/Mega Drive owners it was a great addition to the collection. But it is not a better game than Turtles in Time on the SNES or Arcade. Even back in grade school we felt that way as I had a SNES and rented TiT several times and I had a friend with a Genesis who had HH. He always came over to play TiT whenever I would rent it!
Whoa,y hey top hat gaming man You are awesome,cheers from México...
I love both Turtles games, but I agree that Turtles In Time is better, due to being longer and more varied. But sometimes I play Hyperstone Heist just for the different experience. And really, being the huge TMNT fan I am, just about any Turtles game works for me.
That said, I'd sure love to see a 4-player Hyperstone Heist. I bet that would be fun.
I like both Turtles in Time and Hyperstone Heist, but it was short compared to TiT which is to me the best TMNT game
Yay, I got a double shout out 😎 never played a turtles game. Maybe I'll get a chance at a play expo some time 👍
My favourite Turtles game is TMNT Tournament Fighters. Very good fighting game that not many mention, an episode on that could be cool.
Yesterday I beat hyperstone 3 times online: First the regular run permited by the default settings of cowabunga collection, the second run in the hard defeculty with the comic colors, and the last run on easy in iron turtle mode: 1 life no continues.
Obvusly i end my run early in my last run been out of lives, but it was fun when it lasted.
i still own this game for the Sega genesis and it's an awesome game all the way through!💪
The hyperstone heist was kool but T.I T is 1st then the 1989 arcade edition then the hyperstone
I had both Hyperstone Heist and Turtles in Time
4:27 Shredder is SHREDDED!
The Sega CD would have easily have been able to handle the SNES version with the added bonus of red-book audio...opportunity missed...then again they might have dropped in some grainy FMV in between as it was on a CD...
Given the laziness of many developers, they would have just slapped a cartridge game on CD with a phoned in soundtrack.
that's true, but how many kids back then actually had a SEGA CD/MEGA CD drive for the Genesis/Mega Drive? So I think they they did the wise thing of putting it on a cart instead of CD. Now if the Genesis/Mega Drive had been build as a CD system from the start then it would be another story.
@@SomeOrangeCat right. Like NBA JAM. It was the same exact game but with new music. At least they did it right for 32X. But Sega CD had that scaling ability too! Just rarely used.
Sometimes the CD ports were completely different. Sega CD owners had both anyway. Batman and Robin featured the platforming on cart and the driving on CD. they complimented each other.
So basically, it would have been an almost identical port or an entirely new game.
A Sega CD version was planned?
@FieryReign The FM sound in the arcade already sounds like Genesis too, except they mixed in sampling as well.
Snes does only samples.
So the arcade sound is a mix between Genesis and Snes, except at slightly higher quality than both.
Gameplay wise I don't see why not. The Arcade didn't have the mode 7 stuff.
Tmnt 1 on nes really was the best.
It was different and had substance. It also was flawed but I'll always love it
The shop level is just the pirate stage with walls added. The cave level is mostly just the prehistoric stage. Even Rocksteady though different from the one in turtles in time he seems nearly identical to his appearance in TMNT 3
love it very much
The game dialogue reads like it was translated by some one who neither understood Japanese or even watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Awesome video
I would like to see the Tournament Fighters games be covered and how they were three different games.
Also, I want to see videos on the Final Fight sequels.
Growing up me, and my siblings enjoyed both SNES, and Genesis (Mega Drive). We however never owned either Hyperstone Heist, and Turtles in Time. We would rent mostly SNES games, and we did rent Turtles in Time. Now today I own both systems, and both games. I also want to get the TMNT Arcade 1up machine, and whenever I get a NES I'll get TMNT 1, 2, and 3 for the system. I'm that much of TMNT fan.
Tmnt began with the mirage comics in 84
Too bad it didn’t become popular. Not until the late 80s cartoon came out and it became popular.
Turtles in time hands down
the one part i did not like about hyperstone compared to tit is that you can`t throw enemys into the screen. i just love to do that
I might not be able to give a fair assessment due to first playing TiT back in the early 90's, while I didn't even know Hyperstone Heist existed until probably the late 90's
With that said, my experience with HH was (eventually) that it wasn't really on the same level, design-wise, and that it recycled too much both from previous games and internally. A lot of it also seems like filler to pad out the playtime.
Tatsu from the movies making an appearance was neat, though.
The "Alien-like" enemies are Pizza Monsters.
Turtles in Time the actual arcade game is insanely good.
It's animations are much smoother than the SNES, I'll give it that. It was, however, designed to be a quarter muncher and I have to say, after recently playing it again from start to finish, those boss fights are SO TEDIOUS. Patterns hardly matter there: you're going to get hit and die A LOT. I find the SNES port to be a much more enjoyable pleasure cruise compared to the endurance war that is the arcade game.
@@ultimateman55 Agreed. The Super NES version expands on the arcade version in smart ways that make it a better play value. The only thing it's really missing is four-player. The animations are less noticeable to me, but that's mostly because I'm too busy making sure I don't die!
Turtles in time forever.
Holy shit shredder was bulk asf in that game
I played both both I like this one also just because of the stages.
I wonder why TIT had Toka and Razar from Secret of the Ooze but not Tatsu?
Doesn't really make a lot of sense for the Pizza Monster things to come out of extremely shallow water that doesn't even cover any of the characters' ankles, but whatever.
Nice info
All of the sprites and backgrounds were redrawn for the genesis game along with the game being made with the genesis hardware in mind. The system really could have done a version of turtles in time if konami wanted but I guess either nintendo had an exclusive contract or konami just didn't want to port it for some reason.
Konami seemed to either love or hate the Genesis depending on what day of the week they were asked to make a game for it.
TiT is objectively better than HH. It's got more stuff, more modes and it looks better.
But HH is the one I accidentally never returned to the rental place so it's more important to me.
It's a secret ambition of mine to one day make a 4 player version of Hyperstone Heist.
I knew of Hyperstone Heist as a kid from multiformat magazines, but didn't realise it was that much shorter than Turtles in Time. It seems like Hyperstone went for longer stages and fewer bosses - while recycling some (Rocksteady in this game and Stockman) from the original arcade game and bringing Tatsu in from the first two Turtles movies (whereas TIT brought in Tokka and Rahzar in from Turtles 2).
It's not exactly shorter. It just uses multipart stages for its levels. If it had a boss at the end of each stage it would be about the same number of levels as the SNES game. It's a shame they didn't do that.
It's not shorter. Most playthroughs are 10 minutes longer...
@@chrisw8069I meant in terms of stage numbers, as I said later in my comment - longer stages and fewer bosses meant it ran for only 4 or 5 stages compared to the 7 or 8 distinct stages with bosses from the other games.
Before I watch this, YEP, sure is! I have my copy!
I only played once and I liked to see Tastu as a boss, that was cool, but nothing more.
Top notch quality
It’s not better than Turtles in Time, it lacks imagination and plays out predictably, but it’s still a damn fine Genesis game and damn fine beat em’ up. Being able to dash and slide and shoulder check is a lot of fun.
It show's Konami's split-personality attitude towards the console. In some cases like with Castlevania and Contra it was "Hold on to your butts! This is gonna be awesome!", and in cases like Sunset Riders and Ninja Turtles it was like "Yeah, fine. We'll make you guys one too...out of scraps."
Simply Sherbert agreed. Scraps are better than starving though.
Nothing will ever beat the TMNT Arcade game as the best game of the franchise ever...
As a kid i didn't care which was better, i was just excited to have 2 TMNT games to play.
The first TMNT arcade game and its NES port will always be my favorite, but Turtles in Time is a close second.
As a kid I loved TMNT, but never bothered with Hyperstone Heist. Because at the time, I wrongly assumed it was just a watered down version of Turtles in Time.
The NES games are garbage. Try to avoid those hits...you can't. Garbage
@@chrisw8069 3rd NES Turtles game is awesome, and can be beaten in 1 life, or 1 credit. The first game on the other hand, is not great. None are garbage though.
TIT and HSH is simply a wild game of anagrams
The sewer level in hyperstone heist was just so lazy where you walk on water, and enemies pop out of the water. Did they forget to give them surfboards in that level?
Couldn't throw enemies towards the screen, no transparency with the life bar, no mode 7, recycled/gauntlet stage, and many other things prevent this game from being much more than a shadow of what TiT brought to the table. Even with all of that stacked against it, it's still a fun romp as a TMNT game.
I could never understand why the turtles can walk on water in this game. Those sections always pull me right out of the experience.
Like, it's clearly deep water because the pizza alien monsters are swimming through it and jumping out of it, but everybody is just standing on it...
Lazy programming. Could have just put them on surfboards and it'd work
Yes! You made this video!
I played Both of them when I was a kid. I like them both. But I always like Turtles in time better.
"MY TOE!! MY TOE!!"
Woah Shell Shock😁
Tatsu is from the movie
& his stage looks like one of the added stages to NES TMNT 2: The Arcade Game.
This might sound weird, but I like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 the Manhattan project the best. It didn't fight as fluid as turtles in time but the level design and music was to me the most memorable. I Also like how the original turtles all have a different move. However, yeah the Sega hyperstone heist and and turtles in time are still great games!!
