WHOOOOOOOA now. This vid and the reviews therein had my respect right up 'til they dissed the 2003 animated series, one of the best, beloved incarnations of the franchise.
Yoo jake is freaking hilarious 😂 whatever he’s featured in has me rolling! Great acting! And side by side with the completionist is just platinum gold 💯🙌🏾
Agreed. Jake is a great personality. Would love to see more of him. And speaking of seeing more of, Adam Sessler needs a raise because he needs to be in twice as much contenr that we've been seeing him in lately. A successful channel NEEDS great personalities. Jake, Adam, and Drunk Link needs more work! 😁
The Manhutten Project is my favorite. It's very difficult and fun to play on NES. I remember playing it multiple times on my NES just to get rid of Shredder. But Turtles In Time will always be legendary. It sets the bar so high for beat em up games
Okay, let’s get something straight here. TMNT Out of the Shadows The Game has nothing to do with the movie released in 2016. The Game’s story derived from the current 2012 show on Nickelodeon and the only thing the two have in common are that they share the same subtitle, Out of the Shadows. Why they decided to use the game title as the movie sequel title is beyond me.
@@ashnodmtg But the game was 3+ years old when the movie released and I'm pretty sure it was de-listed from digital storefronts by then. It would be like if Illumination called the upcoming Mario movie "Super Mario 3D All-Stars."
Getting really tired of people who clearly never played OotS talking about how terrible it is. The game definitely had some technical issues but the actual game mechanics were quite good. It has the best characterization of the turtles of any of the games and the deepest combat by far, with fantastic team attacks. It also has “Turtle Power” by Partners in Kryme from the first movie’s OST, which is just awesome.
well I did like the 2003 series sort of but it seemed like it was long and i mean long. The funny part was Baxter would always die and comeback to life lol
While this video and its reviews are very good and fair… I did not enjoy the slander to the other iterations of the turtles. The OG show is great! 2003 is straight up the mirage comics adapted to perfection! 2012 TMNT is probably the most ninjustu oriented show we’ve ever seen from the turtles! And last but definitely not least, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a underrated Masterpiece, funny, compelling, badass as all hell and THE BEST ANIMATION of all previous shows. I really recommend all of these versions of the turtles to anyone, choose your favorites but in my eyes, they are all awesome!
I'm an OG fan of TMNT since 1990, but yea I don't like the assumed slander of TMNT folks didn't grow up with. granted I do know the later video games haven't faired quite as well as their cartoon counterparts.
I think the '03 show is the best iteration of the turtles, the only other one that I think even compares is the 1990 movie. Granted, I haven't read any of the comics.
Shame you ignored the non-Game Boy portable TMNT games. The three games based on the 2003 show by Konami (two for the GBA, one for the DS) were legit pretty good. Maybe not quite Turtles in Time, but actually good. The GBA game based on the 2007 Imagi movie by Ubisoft was an awesome clone of the Konami arcade games, with many of those programmers eventually making Shredder's Revenge. The 3DS version of Danger of the Ooze, while definitely rushed, does have a little of that Wayforward magic in it.
Great video! Loved the turtles games growing up especially Turtles in Time. So happy for Gerard the completionist having joined the show! Great format and presentation and I would expect nothing less from G4 and x play!
It’s My Birthday Today 🎈 I’ve Been A Xplay Fan For A Long Time Since I Was A Kid, I Enjoyed Watching You All And Best Moments, This Is To Everybody of G4TV This To You All. Thanks Everybody.
Jake, that cigarette flick was phenomenal. I was legit surprised how cool that looked and how well you played it off. Love this over tired Jake character, like an old "seen too much" detective.
What is Jirad smoking? The 2003 TMNT series was AWESOME. Hell, that's the show that's arguably the best of the bunch. I adore the original '88 series but if you honestly think that's the best then you haven't seen any other series.
How is TMNT Out of The Shadows from 2013 a tie in to the movie from 2017? It’s weird that they share the same name but I don’t think they’re connected Also you guys forgot the TMNT 3DS Diablo clone based on the 2014 movie that’s actually not horrendous despite showing it’s box early in the video.
Dude this was such a fantastic video. I’ve been a fan of the completionist for awhile because he’s a wholesome game boi, but wow, Jake is freaking hilarious and his comedic acting is insanely top tier. Well done, gentlemen. Well done.
Hey, the 2003 series was pretty good. I’m curious as to why this guy didn’t like it. Unless all he saw was the future season the flash forward season which I think was season 6
How come they never talk about the ninja turtle game for the PlayStation which was really one of the most difficult games and just set up was pretty nice
I’m watching this episode on cable at the moment and it’s just replaying the first several minutes, cutting to ads and then coming back to first several mins till the half hour was up then switched to next program. Like I was literally tripping as if was watching “Off Air” for the first time by accident at 4am back in 2010.
Yeah no sorry. I don't have a problem with you guys disliking the 4kids TMNT games, but saying the 2003 TMNT cartoon was mediocre? Absolutely disagree. If you just meant the last 2 seasons (Turtles in Time/Back to the Sewers) that'd be one thing, but as a whole package there's WAY more good/great than bad/mediocre in that show.
right? the 2003 series was awesome! I even enjoyed the Fast Forward & Back To The Sewers seasons. of course, so far the only animated series I haven't liked is Rise of the TMNT and that has a lot more to do with the cringe inducing art style and divisive design choices than anything else....
Come on, you just called the 2003 series not great?! It's widely considered the best of all the series by true fans! It was fantastic. The games, fair play, they were bland, but the show 11/10.
Hey! I actually have that Kinect Turtles game on my 360 still! It’s basically a crappier Fruit Ninja sort of game. Kind of. I don’t know if I still have a Kinect to play it anymore.
Jake looks haunted while doing this with Jirards mounting panic at all these games while trying to stay positive is great. I really enjoyed this video.
Love this!!! Let's play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, this one? No. This one? No. This one? No. This one? No. This one? No. This one? Yes!!! Maybe they saw all the retirees and thought they'd fit in. OMFG!!!!!
What is the best Turtles game, movie, or show?
TMNT II Secret of the Ooze, no movie or show has come close (except maybe the first one)
Nothing will beat the original live action TMNT movies.
It could be nostalgia, but I have to say it was the TMNT arcade game. Many quarters were spent playing it on Saturdays and during summer vacation.
Turtles in Time no doubt
Turtles in Time. It isn't a fair competition.
WHOOOOOOOA now. This vid and the reviews therein had my respect right up 'til they dissed the 2003 animated series, one of the best, beloved incarnations of the franchise.
"THAT'S INSANE TO ME, JIRARD!" 😂🤣 10:40
New catchphrase. Print the shirt.
Yoo jake is freaking hilarious 😂 whatever he’s featured in has me rolling! Great acting! And side by side with the completionist is just platinum gold 💯🙌🏾
Jake is really great! I like all the cast members but he's become one of my favs. His videos with Black Hokage though are so funny
Jake unhinged was so good
Shut up bot
Agreed. Jake is a great personality. Would love to see more of him. And speaking of seeing more of, Adam Sessler needs a raise because he needs to be in twice as much contenr that we've been seeing him in lately.
A successful channel NEEDS great personalities.
Jake, Adam, and Drunk Link needs more work! 😁
Cringe😊😊
Im LOVING these deep dives into the history of various series'. Keep up the awesome work!

they were hoping the cross marketing would work. IE the hype from people seeing the movie would get people to get the game
@@ashnodmtg But the game was 3+ years old when the movie released and I'm pretty sure it was de-listed from digital storefronts by then.
It would be like if Illumination called the upcoming Mario movie "Super Mario 3D All-Stars."
Yeah they got some facts wrong. A rubbish retrospective really.
@@ashnodmtg The problem with that is the movie came out 3 years after...

He just said the 2003 series was not great…I know it’s subjective, but that one is often regarded as the peak of the series 😅
This, I was about to comment this.
Came here for this comment. But jirhard is mid 30s so it’s possible he just never watched it 😅
@@SloanJordan I'm 42, and have watched all 4 series.
well I did like the 2003 series sort of but it seemed like it was long and i mean long. The funny part was Baxter would always die and comeback to life lol
@@ec5018 He was punished so much it was body horror by the end.
"Yep. That was definitely piss."🤣
This was great, very well made... Perfect blend of comedy and gaming content. My fav skit so far since you guys been back
I love Ninja Turtles and Jirard, so here's my comment and like button press.

I would like to praise you guys for showing the archival X-Play review footage.
Great video! Loved the turtles games growing up especially Turtles in Time. So happy for Gerard the completionist having joined the show! Great format and presentation and I would expect nothing less from G4 and x play!
This is a great piece of work XPlay. Enjoyed every minute. Well done.
Love these guys. The best episodes include them.
*looks around* So we're not gonna applaud the subtle, yet RIDICULOUS Kevin Spacey joke? LOL
Yo ..this was entertaining...yall cool on gaming news history ...loved it bro...😂😂
It’s My Birthday Today 🎈 I’ve Been A Xplay Fan For A Long Time Since I Was A Kid, I Enjoyed Watching You All And Best Moments, This Is To Everybody of G4TV This To You All. Thanks Everybody.
Fantastic deep dive...need more!
I'd like to quickly point out that out of the shadows was not a movie tie in game at all it came out in 2013 the movie wasn't out until 2016
Amazing stuff. I have been sleeping on xplay. I'll be going back and watching the older videos
Jake, that cigarette flick was phenomenal. I was legit surprised how cool that looked and how well you played it off. Love this over tired Jake character, like an old "seen too much" detective.

How is TMNT Out of The Shadows from 2013 a tie in to the movie from 2017?
It’s weird that they share the same name but I don’t think they’re connected
Also you guys forgot the TMNT 3DS Diablo clone based on the 2014 movie that’s actually not horrendous despite showing it’s box early in the video.
“..and there’s another F#%KING onion in the middle!” 🤣😂
"This one makes the previous game look like Portal 2" hahaha
Jake has brought me here. 😂 you all are great! Thank you for all you do.
One of Jake's and Jirards best vids to date!!! Keep up the great work and stay safe everyone.
really love these two together
The TMNT nerd in me loved this but also, why so many games LMAO p.s. you two make a perfect duo.. in my opinion.
The funniest video I have seen on Xplay! Great job!
24:40- I've never even played a TMNT game and you've made me want to look up this footage now. 😅🍕 great video guys!
Dude this was such a fantastic video. I’ve been a fan of the completionist for awhile because he’s a wholesome game boi, but wow, Jake is freaking hilarious and his comedic acting is insanely top tier. Well done, gentlemen. Well done.
love this!! THANKS G4!
This video was so good guys. The writing / delivery for this had me legit laughing out loud. ❤
I LOVED the 2003 series and games! I was a kid and TMNT coming back was major hype for me 🤙🏼
Also! Shredders revenge was fantastic!
"FOR MONEY JIRARD!" killed me
At least our man Jake is still with us. Funny dude
Hey, the 2003 series was pretty good. I’m curious as to why this guy didn’t like it. Unless all he saw was the future season the flash forward season which I think was season 6
The action was awesome
Glad to see you guys back!! Proud G4 supporter,!!
I love these types of videos where they go through the whole gaming history of a franchise. I hope the keep them coming.
This was an amazing video and downright hilarious, but the 2003 animated series was amazing 😠.
I really enjoyed this. THIS is the kind of G4 content we like
This video is a banger! You guys did real good !!
This video is pure Platinum. Thanks to everyone involved for all the work!
Jake is amazing. Had me cracking up every time he was on screen. Love when he's in videos.
How come they never talk about the ninja turtle game for the PlayStation which was really one of the most difficult games and just set up was pretty nice
The TMNT 2003 games are pretty terrible but the show itself was great. I prefer it over the original 80s cartoon.
Great video
That’s a great review
Great Video! You two got great chemistry and should do more of these together.
X-play is amazing
Anything G4 related is amazing.
For the culture brethren lol
Good to see you guys here!
This video was great! Jake, as always, was hilarious and I loved Jirard playing the straight man to his craziness.
Jake killed it yall
FINALLY, SOMEONE TALKS ABOUT THE MANHATTAN PROJECT!
I grew up with this game and i still have my copy.
Will miss Xplay (again)
I’m watching this episode on cable at the moment and it’s just replaying the first several minutes, cutting to ads and then coming back to first several mins till the half hour was up then switched to next program. Like I was literally tripping as if was watching “Off Air” for the first time by accident at 4am back in 2010.
Oh hey, also, "Out Of The Shadows" had nothing to do with the movie of the same name; in fact, it came out years BEFORE the movie.
You guys didn't talk about the 2018 Turtles cabinet that is at Dave and Busters
Yeah no sorry. I don't have a problem with you guys disliking the 4kids TMNT games, but saying the 2003 TMNT cartoon was mediocre? Absolutely disagree. If you just meant the last 2 seasons (Turtles in Time/Back to the Sewers) that'd be one thing, but as a whole package there's WAY more good/great than bad/mediocre in that show.

Such a good video 👍👍👍
Jake, this was top notch comedy. Your delivery and faces were fantastic.
Great Stuff, as always!
Jake and Jirard are a great team. Jake's lines were hilarious.
Great documentary
Come on, you just called the 2003 series not great?! It's widely considered the best of all the series by true fans! It was fantastic. The games, fair play, they were bland, but the show 11/10.
Yeah. I stopped the video after hearing that sacrilege.
Hey! I actually have that Kinect Turtles game on my 360 still! It’s basically a crappier Fruit Ninja sort of game. Kind of. I don’t know if I still have a Kinect to play it anymore.
26:35 HAAA!!! 😂🤣
Rad job guys. Preserving history one game at a time
Jake may be my new spirit animal. Good stuff, keep it up Buttercup.
Disheveled Jake is always a winner
Yooo good vid love it!
Thank you for this! You guys rock!
Not gonna Lie this is classic Xplay level of funny. Jake at the end was great
Did he really say that the 2003 Ninja Turtles Animated Series wasn't great? I disagree whole heartedly.
The konami era gba games are a pretty continuation of the 2d beat em up formula of the arcade/nes games.
That was sooo good, awesome guys loved it ! Rock on !!
Flash Warning!!!!! 2:10 Great video guys. Jake is still killing it with the comedy. this duo is always fun to watch
How I can acces the train stage of second 11 in tournament fighters snes? Or was renove in the cawabunga collecion?
I think this is the first post return G4 video I’ve actually enjoyed
this was genuinely funny. i loved it. also, thanks for painstakingly reviewing every turtles game.
This is the kind of content that makes me continue watching and supporting G4. Keep up the awesome work!
I love these long form videos.
Jake looks haunted while doing this with Jirards mounting panic at all these games while trying to stay positive is great. I really enjoyed this video.
Turtles in Time is my favorite, but I have a soft spot for the the couple of GameCube early 2000s ones.
i like turtles
Jake is the man
Really enjoyed this.
“I don’t know where Jake ends and the Turtles begin” 😂
Great video! Thank you!
TURTLE POWER
At least you didn't try and beat every single MegaMan game.
Holy hell that intro was gold!!!
TMNT 2007 for GBA is legit! It's a really neat 2D beat 'em up that incorporates elements of River City Ransom. Check it out!
Great video! 😂
Now this is content. Keep it up.
First turtles movie and turtles in time with shredders revenge as a close second
Love this!!! Let's play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, this one? No. This one? No. This one? No. This one? No. This one? No. This one? Yes!!! Maybe they saw all the retirees and thought they'd fit in. OMFG!!!!!
