In an era where many "AAA" developers are putting out overpriced, unfinished, micro-transaction infested games, it's so refreshing to see games like this coming to market. I wish everybody involved in bringing Shredder's Revenge to life all the success they deserve.
@@Reaperguy67 It looks cool but, I never really got into Harry Potter stuff. I was in my 30s when the franchise came out so it wasn't really my thing. When TMNT first came out as a comic, I was working in a comic shop and was immediately hooked on it so there is a lot more nostalgia for me with it.
Tee Lopes is amazing. He crushed it on Sonic Mania, not surprised the music in this is so good. Would love to hear his take on Mega Man or Castlevania.
Clearly, this game was made by people who grew up loving turtles. There’s so many references to the tv show, the arcade games, past console games, etc. I usually hate fan-service-y stuff, but this is the right kind of fan service. 😃
If you go to Dotemu's RUclips channel, they have a few videos about making this game. These went back and watched the original series, played the original games in order to get a feel for it. These devs actually cared about the franchise and fans.
Mutants in Manhattan is actually one of the games that got me into gaming, if not THE game. This series means so much to me so for this to be so good, and to hear the reviewers having such a blast brought genuine tears to my eyes. I’m so excited to play
@@joshoshea3194 -- No BS. My favorite character was Michaelangelo, second slowest Turtle after Donatello and I had couple of game sessions where I was perfectly fluid. I would know when enemy would start showing on the screen and fling them off the screen. I still remember the point system, 2pts to knockdown tossing including enemy being hit by it and 3 pts for flying them away.
It makes me so happy to see all these young gamers loving the turtles. But for us old timers who got to experience this in arcades as kids, this has been a long time coming! I haven't been this excited for a game since we got a rough port of the original arcade game for our NES. THE DAY HAS FINALLY COME!!! COWABUNGA!
@@mrqh406 🤣 I remember those Arcade's.. feel proud we experienced those time's, I'm 43 now. I remembered we used to bring a plastic milk crate to reach the controls 🤦😂
Just finished the story mode with "normal" difficulty on the Switch, definitely a very very good game with nostalgic memories coming back. Man, playing the originals back in the early 90s was such a blast. The boss's difficulties are not extremely tough but instead the herds of enemies will give you some serious challenge. I would give the game a 8/10, could be a 9 if the story mode is slightly longer as I would play mostly on single player mode.
I'm turning 47 this year. TMNT Arcade was one of my favorite games for the original NES. I bought Streets of Rage 4 about a year ago, and I can't stop playing it. This looks like it lives up to the original side scrolling up/down movement game, but with much better graphics, better moves, all while staying true to the classic TMNT storyline. I'm pretty sure I'm getting this for my Switch.
@@battlepower777 This game isn't included in the collection; The collection is a compilation release of all the old TMNT titles from the original arcade games, NES, SNES, GB and Sega Genesis. The only thing new in the collection will be the ability to take some of them online and play multiplayer with people.
I always forget how much of an insane deal Xbox gamepass is, I never grew up with the turtles games which makes me unsure if I should buy it but I always thought the game looked gorgeous and the music from Tee Lopes is a major plus The fact that I get to play this on release and not having to sit on the fence thinking if I should go for it makes me very happy
I pre-ordered right when it went up lol can't wait to play. The Turtle beat em ups were some of my favorite games growing up. I've probably played through Turtles in Time at least 100 times.
According to eShop, this game was to be released today June 16. I pre-ordered it yesterday June 15th. When I went to start the game a pop up window came up saying that it has to check with the internet if this game can be played yet. It said it couldn't and took me to the eShop where it says that the release date is today June 16th. Has anyone else not been able to play this game yet?
Yeah the company Tribute games is located in Canada .Going by their open business hours It will release sometime during the morning im guessing no later than 12 eastern time.
yes, I too am having the same problem as well. The only other difference is I pre-ordered my digital copy 3 days in advance just to wait until 2day to see the same message and not be able to play. I hope they didn't lie to us 😔
It’s up to the dev when they unlocked it. I see this a lot with 3rd party games but Nintendo usually unlocks midnight your time in my experience. Anyway I got it working about an hour ago… so good
@@Dalamartm It's by the business hours now? Every other time I've pre-ordered a game digitally, I've been able to play it at 12AM my local time on the release day except for this time and I live in Norway. I'm finally able to play it now though at 6PM my time. 18 hours later than expected.
So glad (relieved?) it lives up to the hype. I can't wait to pick this up and if as good as you have described it to be I'll have to grab the Limited Run Games version for sure :) Let's hope the Cowabunga Collection makes a nice addition to the set too!
This game continues to look better and better! 9:05 Totally agree with wishing for an arcade release of Shredder's Revenge, whether it's a dedicated cabinet, Arcade1Up machine, or even a catalog release on iiRcade or the like. For now, I'm just excited to see TMNT back to its retro glory!
Only comment against the review is that you said Channel 5 instead of 6. Glad to see and hear that the game is as fantastic as I had hoped. I would have been shell-shocked if it wasn’t.
7:56 i agreed with most of the review but saying that a game is repetitive just because of the concept isn't really an excuse they could add underwater battling that uses new attacks and riding squids so it's not the concept fault it's just that the devs played it really safe which i might be hating because of other games that did that aka (nsmb series) but there is no shame with that
Already received my "digital" copy. Its a very solid game, with more challenging gameplay thanks to dynamic mechanics and the button layout. Im just waiting a few hours to play 6 players session.
@@thafutureonline619 June 16 but I think mine's downloaded and ready since I pre-ordered. Physical games is via Limited Run Games and should be out within 6 - 9 months, according to their website, it'll probably be longer though.

After all of these years, the original 1987 series of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is still the best. Even the games look SO much better than other iterations of TMNT. I'm so happy that this game exists. I didn't think I'd ever see a TMNT game based on the 1987 series again. I wish someone would make a really good, faithful to the original Masters Of The Universe video game. Every game was either based on the newer shows, or just plain down sucked because of the era and console limitations (like the Atari 2600 version), or wasn't released in the US (like the PS2 version).
How is the the general performance of the switch version? Can I expect to have the same experience at least on a 1080p screen like the other versions for stronger hardware?
I’ve never really been a fan of TMNT media. But this game looks great and looks like so much fun. A bright, smooth, turtles beat ‘em up! Might have to pick this up.
I forgot this was coming to Game Pass. Nice! On another note: Shouldn't the bugs you mentioned affect the review score? Giving a 9/10 because patches might eventually fix the bugs sounds insincere.
Those issues don’t make me happy about the physical version possibly shipping with those bugs unfixed. It’s a modern problem but one that doesn’t have to exist. Though I’m happy those bugs will at least get fixed in any fashion (like day 1 patch).
Yea, even though these bugs will happen the game will update and take out these bugs pretty quickly. It’d be pretty surprising if they didn’t do anything about some of these lol
🙏🏾Casey J for a MK12 or MK13 guest character🤞🏾 He was born to be in this franchise,EVERYTHING about him personifies badassery💯 From his unhinged personality to his motivations for practicing vigilantism. I can see his dialogues during character cut scenes as well as his moveset during battles being absolutely ruthless considering he'd use anything at his disposal to extremely damage his opponents. Making him a truly unpredictable combatant in his own right❕ Could even add April in the mix to assist in the battle against his foes,both physically during matches and verbally during CJ's cut scene dialogues too. #pleasemakeithappenboon🤞🏾 #letsmakeithappennrs🙏🏾
I am experiencing this as well. If you wait a few minutes it will start, but it will be very buggy. If you pause the game sometimes it will freeze and crash. It also freezes at the Nickelodeon logo as well. Also if you finish a level the game will crash after the cut scene. The Game is broken for me. If You Find A Fix Let Me Know.
Agree really awesome game. Fun to play even more so in co op. Lots of nods to the original arcade game and cartoon. Controls I would say are decent not as tight as SOR4 but you can do combos. What isn’t so great is interaction with the environment. The pot holes even in your videos are not consistent. So when you thought you would fall in one you don’t. This is especially true if your in a middle of a combo and your character magical floats over the pot hole instead of just falling in. This is a minor flaw. Overall I have been having fun from day 1 and definitely worth buying
Great review. I preordered the digital version on Switch and I will also buy the physical Switch version as a collectable. Loved the old TMNT arcade games on the NES/SNES and OG gameboy. The 1987 cartoon was cool back in the day. Loved the first live action movies as well as a kid. Looking forward to finally play this game tomorrow with my kids. I hope the devs will add dlc and new game modes. Would also be cool to play as Shredder as a playable dlc/ingame unlocked character.
I preordered my copy for the switch and is says the game can’t be played yet.. the release date is today June 16.. anybody knows why this is happening??
Good game, but I’ve experienced what appears to be a game breaking bug on level 8. Playing as Leonardo, part way through the level, no more enemies appear, and nothing happens. Just keep flying through the air doing nothing. 😢
Trying to see whether or not I can play this on a 4-player arcade machine. Aside from the D-pad/movement, Start, and Select, how many buttons do you need for each player?
Is there a/an?: 1. “Inside a moving train” level, like Final Fight ? 2. Turtle-Van chase/driving level ? 3. Levels which progress right to left, like some in “Sengoku 3” ?
I am 44 years old. In 1987 when I was 9 years old I had my Atari 2600 console. Then a few years later my nintendo, then my super nintendo and then my sage genesis and turbo graphics console. I love playing TMNT game at the arcade. One of the best games ever!
If there was a mod where you have to save April instead of vernon, I'd play it.... seriously... nobody wants to save vernon.... wtf were they thinking? To make April a fighter was a straight up garbage move
I am getting my brother in law to play this with me because he loves old school beat em ups like I do. Gamepass first but I'll probably buy it on Switch at some point
I double dipped; prepurchased using eShop credit that I bought from you guys at 10% off and just put in my physical copy pre-order at Target along with 2 other games as part of their current buy 2, get 1 free promotion. This is honestly my most anticipated game this year and I can't wait to play it. COWABUNGA!
It ain't happening yet guys sadly, I've read so many different times being stated for it's drop, 12pm, 3pm, 4:30pm who knows! It's frustrating 😫 I had my day planned out but I suppose I'll do housework instead because that's just as fun 😝
(FIXED) I Installed the game on my Switch OLED with 1TB SD Card. Right at the start of the Nintendo or Nickelodeon logo I get a black or white screen. It literally takes a few minutes just to get past the startup of the game. It took me 10 to 15 minutes just to get to the Main Menu. If you pause during gameplay the game freezes and crashes sometimes. After you finish a mission it takes another 10 to 15 minutes to load the cut scene and the game crashes. I reinstalled the game countless times and also moved the game to my internal storage as well with no success. These are major issues I have encountered and I am pissed. Too bad I was very excited to play the game as well. After More Troubleshooting I Figured Out The Issue The Game Has A Bug With The 5GHz Wifi Band.
Ppl can i ask why in europe still didn't released in the psn store?! I am still waiting and nothing,they said that they will release it today!!! Can someone sged light to the situation pls? 🤔
Pure nostalgia done right. Amazing that they got a number of original voice actors from the cartoon. Going to get my physical copy from Limited Run Games and can't wait for the Cowabunga Collection release as well.
I just never realized Yakko Warner was in the original cartoon, lol. I know he (rob paulsen) has done a lot of stuff, but now Yakko is all I can hear :P
Rumor has it that they add Usagi Yojimbo as an added character later. Really hoping an Endless Survival mode like the one in Streets of Rage 4 is added. That would really add to the replay value.
Rising Tackle? Terry Bogard? And April O Neil channels a number of famous female fighting game characters. The standard combo, often shown here, is kind of associated with Karin Kanzuki of Street Fighter fame. I know that initial punch into forward hand thrust, with the other hand before smacking them with the sideways elbow anywhere. It’s like they wanted to get so close but just avoids using the exact animation.
Can't wait.. I pre-order it, checked this morning at 7am 6/16 and still not playable on the switch haha.... I'll have it on Game Pass as well, but since Turtles Arcade and turtles in time, manhattan project etc were games I love and grew up playing I had to get this on the switch for handhald mode as well...... Excited!! Especially because of the positive reviews!
only thing thar sounds off is casey jones like in the show he sounds dark and edgy And sound like he came from transelvania and he was my favorite edgy character now its just ruined i still got it but the voice bothers me. even tho it said on google its the same voice actor .
I am so sick of reviews saying "he game has bugs that will be patched out later but it's still great!" That's bullshit, finish the game before releasing it.
"unexpected shell-ebration," eh? I fully expected it to be a masterpiece and it looks like my expectations have been met! Looking forward to one shelluva time!
@@TaLaPredator usually reviews go out at least two or three days before the game comes out, this review is literally the day before the game comes out.
Also the new title movie remake of the 80s cartoon is superb and all the artists performing the music too, they really couldn't have done anymore without bringing James Avery back from the dead, RIP Uncle Phil.

Thank you wish the same to you
And this is why I finally moved from PS to Nintendo Switch. There just seem to be more games built in the ideology of the games I grew up with.

Completely agree. He seems to nail the chip tune sound right down to the original company vibe. Sega, Konami.
He would absolutely kill it at a Megaman Battle Network game
Oh plllease Castlevania!
Don't forget his contributions to Streets of Rage 4! His tracks for the DLC in that game are god-like!

Yeah. I've played the later games, and have watched the other shows. Nope. '87 TMNT is still the best.
"best turtles beat-em-up ever made" I'm glad they said this, multiple times. I agree completely

You know what my dream is? After this game succeeds sales-wise, I hope "Dotemu + Tribute Games" work on a Beat 'Em Up *Street Sharks* game! :D
Battle
Toads
It'd be good to get power rangers and x-men
THUNDER CATS
Hell yeah!
How’s the online multiplayer for switch? I have the cowabunga collection for switch and it’s online is horrible. 😑
Those issues don’t make me happy about the physical version possibly shipping with those bugs unfixed. It’s a modern problem but one that doesn’t have to exist. Though I’m happy those bugs will at least get fixed in any fashion (like day 1 patch).
Yea, even though these bugs will happen the game will update and take out these bugs pretty quickly. It’d be pretty surprising if they didn’t do anything about some of these lol
CRT Filters are corny. This game looks great and does not need it.
Just finished my first playthrough with Michelangelo...an absolute joy from start to finish and on my game of the year list...yes..its that good
Can you please tell me if one set of joysticks is enough to play this game in co-op mode, or do you need two sets? If anything, I mean offline co-op
🙏🏾Casey J for a MK12 or MK13 guest character🤞🏾
He was born to be in this franchise,EVERYTHING about him personifies badassery💯
From his unhinged personality to his motivations for practicing vigilantism. I can see his dialogues during character cut scenes as well as his moveset during battles being absolutely ruthless considering he'd use anything at his disposal to extremely damage his opponents. Making him a truly unpredictable combatant in his own right❕ Could even add April in the mix to assist in the battle against his foes,both physically during matches and verbally during CJ's cut scene dialogues too.
#pleasemakeithappenboon🤞🏾
#letsmakeithappennrs🙏🏾
Yay can't believe this is finally out tomorrow !
"best Turtles beatem up ever made".... What?
Thats a huge statment there!
I’ve just downloaded it but it seems to be stuck on the black screen with the switch logo bottom right. Anyone else experiencing this?
I am experiencing this as well. If you wait a few minutes it will start, but it will be very buggy. If you pause the game sometimes it will freeze and crash. It also freezes at the Nickelodeon logo as well. Also if you finish a level the game will crash after the cut scene. The Game is broken for me. If You Find A Fix Let Me Know.
After More Troubleshooting I Figured Out The Issue... The Game Has A Bug With My 5GHz Wifi. Try not using the 5GHz use the 2.4GHz band.
Agree really awesome game. Fun to play even more so in co op. Lots of nods to the original arcade game and cartoon. Controls I would say are decent not as tight as SOR4 but you can do combos. What isn’t so great is interaction with the environment. The pot holes even in your videos are not consistent. So when you thought you would fall in one you don’t. This is especially true if your in a middle of a combo and your character magical floats over the pot hole instead of just falling in. This is a minor flaw. Overall I have been having fun from day 1 and definitely worth buying
has the online got match making or is it invite friends only? great review by the way
Great review. I preordered the digital version on Switch and I will also buy the physical Switch version as a collectable. Loved the old TMNT arcade games on the NES/SNES and OG gameboy. The 1987 cartoon was cool back in the day. Loved the first live action movies as well as a kid. Looking forward to finally play this game tomorrow with my kids. I hope the devs will add dlc and new game modes. Would also be cool to play as Shredder as a playable dlc/ingame unlocked character.
Casey Jones must be DLC.I want more DLC characters but I can't think of anyone
Dose it feature the Vanilla Ice song from the 2nd TMNT movie?
I preordered my copy for the switch and is says the game can’t be played yet.. the release date is today June 16.. anybody knows why this is happening??
Yeah, we have to wait until they reset/update the E shop. It‘s a different time zone from where they unlock the game
It unlocked at least and hour ago. It’s up to the dev on time
How does the music hold up? Does it out do the classic Konami TMNT games OST?
Good game, but I’ve experienced what appears to be a game breaking bug on level 8. Playing as Leonardo, part way through the level, no more enemies appear, and nothing happens. Just keep flying through the air doing nothing. 😢
Trying to see whether or not I can play this on a 4-player arcade machine. Aside from the D-pad/movement, Start, and Select, how many buttons do you need for each player?
4:02 good job not fumbling that line, Zion! That was a mouthful
Is there a/an?:
1. “Inside a moving train” level, like Final Fight ?
2. Turtle-Van chase/driving level ?
3. Levels which progress right to left, like some in “Sengoku 3” ?
I am 44 years old. In 1987 when I was 9 years old I had my Atari 2600 console. Then a few years later my nintendo, then my super nintendo and then my sage genesis and turbo graphics console. I love playing TMNT game at the arcade. One of the best games ever!
Can anyone confirm whether the performance issues and bug have been patched?
If there was a mod where you have to save April instead of vernon, I'd play it.... seriously... nobody wants to save vernon.... wtf were they thinking? To make April a fighter was a straight up garbage move
I am getting my brother in law to play this with me because he loves old school beat em ups like I do. Gamepass first but I'll probably buy it on Switch at some point
Wish we could get a re release of the Turtles game from 2003. Loved playing it back in the day on PS2!!!
TMNT has been around for over 35 years old now? Crazy for parody of mature black and white comics!
Probably the most fun I have had with a game in awhile. Brings back wonderful memories of playing the old games as a kid.
Great review, party dudes, I'm so excited to try this out!
Can you change characters as you go, or only when one gets taken out?
Already downloaded on my switch and impatiently waiting to play this gem 💎
Me as well be on switch n ps4 with this game
Can you use this with 8bitdo arcade stick for the switch ?
Definitely picking up both the Switch and PC versions for sure.
“Channel 5 TV station”
Close.
Channel 6
This game albeit short is SO awesome and so much fun. Can't wait for the Cowabunga Collection
So stoked to play this, I've been on a big TMNT bent lately rewatching the 2012 CG series.
Already have it downloaded and ready and will buy the physical right away as soon as it comes out COWABUNGA DUDES!!!!!!!!!!!!
I double dipped; prepurchased using eShop credit that I bought from you guys at 10% off and just put in my physical copy pre-order at Target along with 2 other games as part of their current buy 2, get 1 free promotion. This is honestly my most anticipated game this year and I can't wait to play it. COWABUNGA!
Any info on cross platform saves?
Getting this for both switch and ps4.
it's the 16th almost 4am and it still saying not available 😩
I guess Nintendo also wanted the online experience to be like in 1990.
I was soo looking forward to playing after work too!
It ain't happening yet guys sadly, I've read so many different times being stated for it's drop, 12pm, 3pm, 4:30pm who knows! It's frustrating 😫 I had my day planned out but I suppose I'll do housework instead because that's just as fun 😝
I'm in UK btw it's nearly 1pm 🙄
(FIXED) I Installed the game on my Switch OLED with 1TB SD Card. Right at the start of the Nintendo or Nickelodeon logo I get a black or white screen. It literally takes a few minutes just to get past the startup of the game. It took me 10 to 15 minutes just to get to the Main Menu. If you pause during gameplay the game freezes and crashes sometimes. After you finish a mission it takes another 10 to 15 minutes to load the cut scene and the game crashes. I reinstalled the game countless times and also moved the game to my internal storage as well with no success. These are major issues I have encountered and I am pissed. Too bad I was very excited to play the game as well. After More Troubleshooting I Figured Out The Issue The Game Has A Bug With The 5GHz Wifi Band.
I preorder the TMNT cowabunga collection! Can anyone tell me if it's out tomorrow or it's actually a December release? Cause that b.s I can't wait
Ppl can i ask why in europe still didn't released in the psn store?! I am still waiting and nothing,they said that they will release it today!!! Can someone sged light to the situation pls? 🤔
Pure nostalgia done right. Amazing that they got a number of original voice actors from the cartoon. Going to get my physical copy from Limited Run Games and can't wait for the Cowabunga Collection release as well.
I just never realized Yakko Warner was in the original cartoon, lol. I know he (rob paulsen) has done a lot of stuff, but now Yakko is all I can hear :P
Rumor has it that they add Usagi Yojimbo as an added character later. Really hoping an Endless Survival mode like the one in Streets of Rage 4 is added. That would really add to the replay value.
Rising Tackle? Terry Bogard?
And April O Neil channels a number of famous female fighting game characters.
The standard combo, often shown here, is kind of associated with Karin Kanzuki of Street Fighter fame. I know that initial punch into forward hand thrust, with the other hand before smacking them with the sideways elbow anywhere. It’s like they wanted to get so close but just avoids using the exact animation.
Why don't they show casey jones gameplay? Is he unlockable?
Can't wait.. I pre-order it, checked this morning at 7am 6/16 and still not playable on the switch haha.... I'll have it on Game Pass as well, but since Turtles Arcade and turtles in time, manhattan project etc were games I love and grew up playing I had to get this on the switch for handhald mode as well...... Excited!! Especially because of the positive reviews!
only thing thar sounds off is casey jones like in the show he sounds dark and edgy And sound like he came from transelvania and he was my favorite edgy character now its just ruined i still got it but the voice bothers me. even tho it said on google its the same voice actor .
Is there a physical release?
Limited Run
there is under Limited Run Games, although that isn't shipping until around July
I am so sick of reviews saying "he game has bugs that will be patched out later but it's still great!" That's bullshit, finish the game before releasing it.
"unexpected shell-ebration," eh? I fully expected it to be a masterpiece and it looks like my expectations have been met! Looking forward to one shelluva time!
Is this 60fps on switch?
As a 37 year old fan of the 90s arcade cabinet version, this has been a dream to play with my kids , thank you 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
is their local multiplayer? might have missed it in the review.
FINALLY, A REVIEW OF THIS GAME.
....its been barely released.
@@TaLaPredator usually reviews go out at least two or three days before the game comes out, this review is literally the day before the game comes out.
Which Turtle you like the most?
Also the new title movie remake of the 80s cartoon is superb and all the artists performing the music too, they really couldn't have done anymore without bringing James Avery back from the dead, RIP Uncle Phil.
What about Switch performance with 6 players?
Is it a 60fps?
This review has convinced me to purchase this game.
Will we also be getting a Neon White review?
I bought both games and am interested to hear about that since I always knew TMNT was going to be good.
Does anyone know how about how long this game is? Like, going straight through the arcade mode, how long would it take to complete?
