They will in a sense but not like we did. With the rewind features and save states they're giving in the collection the worst they'll do is keep rewinding.
This game took me forever to beat. I was quite disappointed at Shredders skills. He was painfully easy. He looked so badass during the TV part of this game. He looked all big and muscular. The level with the Technodrome was so difficult to me. I was stuck for years at that level.
Yeah I think the technodrone level was the biggest middle finger of the game. Once you reached it, you’ve used up all your continues and all your turtles are on life support and there’s no opportunities to replenish them
i know, right? Her tips are useless. As a kid in level 3, I thought that the clues given were what you needed to do. Like when she says, "find a rope to move to the next building." Turns out that not only do you NOT need the rope in level 3, but the one time you can use one is in a totally optional building that helps you in no way. Thanks, April! If I had my choice, she'd still be held by Rocksteady.
Y'know, when you think about it, it's been mentioned that Battletoads was obviously inspired by TMNT. But a thing that their first games have in common, that I don't hear many people think or say much about? The part everyone knows: the first sixth of each game is a breeze (Levels 1 and 2 of Battletoads, Level 1 of TMNT), and the next level after that sixth is over is where the game suddenly and brutally shows you what you're REALLY in for. But the part most people don't think about, or even get the chance to realize? Beyond those levels, IT GETS SO MUCH WORSE.
Oof ikr? The turbobikes are tough when you first get to them, but if you can't get through that level, you haven't got a prayer of getting through anything beyond it. That f*ing level with the trippy hippy circle that chases you... just thinking about it makes me grit my teeth still.
I vastly preferred TMNT 2 and 3 on the NES over this game, but it still has its charms. In particular, not many people know that the different Turtles in this game actually all have different abilities. Leonardo is the all-rounder in terms of speed, reach and damage. Raphael has the shortest reach of all the Turtles, but he does vastly increased damage to flying enemies, often killing them in one hit. Michaelangelo has the fastest attack speed, and actually deals more damage the less health he has, so he's best used as your "last chance" Turtle against a difficult boss or area. Donatello has the longest reach and does more damage overall compared to the other Turtles, but he also has the slowest attack speed and his attacks cover the least area (particularly horizontally).
yeah... that's my favorite part of all his vids. sometimes i won't even necessarily watch the gameplay, and click just to read the description. he's an excellent writer.
This game was my introduction to TMNT! Holds a special place in my heart, even though it is pretty challenging. Like anyone who played it, i hear the *ZAP* sound in my head anytime i see even a picture of the damn stage... XD
When I finally made it past the water level around 9 or 10, I felt like a GOD. Then came the other frustrations - missing the jump in the sewers, not making the jump when on the rooftops, not falling fast enough in the crush room, THE HALLWAY WITH THE LAZER MEN, until you learned how spawning worked, lol. The music though - Coolest level of them all - Shredder's Hideout. Fun fact that no one seems to know about - Each turtle is strong vs certain enemy types, while Don is just a menace. Mikey can stunlock the maniac chainsaw men. Raph can take out the flies in one hit and the ed-209 looking robots in 3 hits where it takes Leo and Mikey 2 and 4 respectively. They all get a power boost when they're under 50% hp and I think Mikey is 2nd strongest overall in that sense.
I’m still so excited about the Cowabunga Collection! This game is where the memories lie for me. I would rent it every time I went to the grocery store. I only got past the dam but driving around in the Turtle Van was so much fun!
i played this as a kid and i still have the nes cassette to this very day (have the nes console just nothing else), and i will be buying the cowabunga collection when it comes out. do you know when that'll be?
The very first of many video games starting the heroes in a half shell. Can you believe this was the best selling third party title on the NES? Yea it does have a plethora of problems, but I enjoy this game and grew on me on each revisit.
Yeah, that really is nuts to think about. I guess it just goes to show how popular the turtles used to be, and the NES had a lock on the perfect demographic for the license.
It's really cool how many rarer/expensive games are in the collection so people actually get the chance to own them. For example, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: Radical Rescue for Game Boy is a super rare game and I've always wanted to try it.
They only had the comics and the "new" toy line to guide them while making the game. They made up most of the enemies themselves trying to emulate what they thought the show might be like.
Such a classic first ever NES Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ever done and how I remembered. The game was fun, but frustrating at the same time. The level that no one forgets is the Dam Level with those electric seaweeds. I nearly gave up on that, but I pressed on and managed to pull through. It is too bad that I still can't beat the part to find the Technodrome.
I was never able to figure out this one at my Aunt's house, but it's gone on to prove to be an NES classic that withstands the test of time. (Incidentally, watching these just makes me hanker for the Cowabunga Collection even more). I still can't believe Konami is actually giving us this many games--they must have realized there is profit to be had from doing a good job releasing their Castlevania stuff (especially the Advance Collection), so I hope we see more and more of their back catalog released!
Wonderful memory with this good retro game that reminds me of my early childhood. I still play it from time to time thanks to an emulator. And I confess I still love it so much.
My only major gripe with this game (and I hope I'm not the only one who has this gripe) is how you could unexpectedly collect a sub-weapon weaker than the Scrolls, and you don't get the option of replacing it, or keeping the scrolls. This can be very frustrating, especially if you're trying to stock up 99 scrolls with all four Turtles.
Well, I feel dumb. When I was a kid, it never occurred to me to hot swap the turtles like this guy does. I pretty much used one turtle until it died and THEN switched. And after completing the water level, which was hard enough in its own right, I never figured out what you were supposed to do next.
Esse jogo é um inferno de difícil, mas eu gosto bastante, sempre me sinto voltando a minha infância quando jogo ele, muito obrigado por trazer mais essa pérola para o canal🙏
i remember playing this game, man it was hard..never could get past the 3rd stage. i know people complain about the dam stage, but i really never had problems with it.
It's like this gamer dug my History note pad out of my dads back yard and played this game page by page. This stuff was insanely difficult to master when you're 2-5 years old, but I beat the water level before I got out of pull-ups. Gamer 4 life lmao xD
😲😂 He was behind/inside the Turtles TV the whole time! They coulda just ended him right there in their sewer lair!! Leo, skewer him with a katana, right now!!!
I LOVED this game's music and sound FX. 😁👍 It was so hard, though. I didn't understand English back then, so I always got stuck in games. 😩 EDIT: 6:39 I totally forgot how beautiful the underwater dam music was, especially that chorus. 😭 This game also had the best snare drum sound on the NES. So dry and snappy.
Nice to see someone else with a positive opinion on this one. I never could beat it but I enjoyed trying every time. If I remember correctly different enemies were weak to different turtles so while Don is the powerhouse there were foes that Mike or Raph could beat easier.
Great walk through! I never thought to use the scrolls on Shreddrer. BTW, I cannot seem to get your website to work right. All I get is the Toki front page, and that has been for years, I think.
Never got much past the reservoir at the dam whenever I played, but damn if it wasn't loads of fun trying. Also, can we talk about the fact that the foot clan had freaking FIRE PEOPLE as henchman? That goes way beyond just ooze, I think
My first ever game, on NES btw on black and white TV screen back then since at least I was so lucky to have an old TV and the NES System, never got any further then the vehicle, had no boms enough, talking about +25 years ago man. Thanks to (yeah, I searched it myself out of nostalgia, but you know...) you, I will install an emulator and try to beat the game tonight man!
So as it turns out, Nobuya Nakazato was a graphic designer on this game according to his resume and interview in the bonus materials for the Contra Anniversary Collection. This was one of the first projects he ever worked on.
That's a good dad right there. Well done. I remember my dad waking my sister and I, maybe at 3am, to watch him beat TMNT Arcade Game on NES. Also, when we had to go out like to dinner or a movie, and we were far in Super Mario bros 3 or World, we would leave the console on and point a fan at the power cord. During the Modern Warfare years he would play and beat the game from very easy to veteran and then star all over again.
Even as a kid who loved the Ninja Turtles, I was never really a fan of this game. The respawning enemies can be really annoying, Donatello's Bo is easily the best weapon compared to everyone else's because their limited range, those stupid steamrollers on the overworld, and who could forget that underwater level where you have to diffuse bombs in a time limit while "avoiding" electrical seaweed that saps away your health... Easier said than done. [6:20] And then, there's *this* nonsense! [3:07] But... I do like the graphics, the music is really good and I always liked how you can play as all 4 of the turtles unlike some other games.
One unfair complaint is that only a few of the characters from the cartoon show is present. They tend to forget that this cart was released in the spring of 1989, when the show was on the air for just two seasons at that point, the five-episode miniseries and the 13-week Saturday run.
This game has bad rep, and I'm guessing it's due to it not being like it's more "crowd pleasing" beat-em up sequels, the fact it was the subject of an early AVGN episode and yes....it's quite tough. I think it's pretty great though. It has it's fair share of 8-bit BS but no more than a lot of other games from that era. Plus I love how WEIRD it is. I love slinking around the trainyard in the 5th area - kind of atmospheric almost.
@CS Local Yeah I find myself coming back to this one a surprising amount. Sometimes I can beat it, sometimes I can't (damn jetpack guys in the last hallway). That makes it even more exciting to play I guess
This game gave me chills and a post-traumatic feeling. That glitching activity at game interface made me go back and forth in the shop and every time, I tried to tell the staff that it was broken, then I had to play it in front of them to show which part of the game it was glitching. Unfortunately, most of the time I fail to prove it and my mom starts to doubt me... 😂🤦♂️😂
TMNT: Donatello's Adventure. Don does all the work, while the rest of the guys decide to only help when there's swimming involved. Then Michelangelo comes in to take all the glory at the end.
As a kid, I took the difficulty of this game rather personally.none of my schoolmates would admit struggling with it.also as a turtle fanatic back then (who wasn't). I was also disappointed in myself for not seeing all the sights and sounds depicted on the back of the packaging. Reaching the technodrome was always my limit.
I beat this game 2 years ago. I remember having trouble in the Technodrome but I did not give up. I even beat Battletoads (With a warp and Bootsy beats Battletoads videos), Adventures of Bayou Billy, Silver Surfer and Ninja Gaiden 3 that same year. I did make some rules like No Game Genie. Level select codes are fine if a game has one. If it doesn't, I'm on my own.
I never had too much of an issue with the undersea level, but the Technodrome, especially those damn jet pack soldiers was a NIGHTMARE. And then Shredder ends up being the easiest fight in the game.
Nes games - " ok kid you all grown up now , it was nice playing with you . I can't fit in this new pubg and free fire world I'll miss ya 😀 " Kid - " you gave me best memories of my childhood 😢😢😢"
First got TMNT as a birthday gift in the early 90s and it was challenging…years later I finally beat TMNT put the game back in the box and left it in my closet…can’t wait until the tmnt cowabunga collection is released…not to brag I’ve beaten every tmnt game since I finally beat tmnt on Nintendo years later….
Battle roads may have the speeder bikes but at least there are places you can camp. TMNT give you no place to camp and if you die you have to worry about lives and losing party members.
A whole new generation is finally gonna be able to feel the pain I had trying to beat this as a kid with the new collection coming out
good old donnie glitch saves the day.... they ripped off the old mirage magazine and forgot to include the stats etc
I'm currently in a ptsd fetal position as I type..
They will in a sense but not like we did. With the rewind features and save states they're giving in the collection the worst they'll do is keep rewinding.

The electrified seaweed on "The Dam" level still scares me.
It's painfully hard, but I've always loved this one!
Yup me too
It is. I couldn't beat it when I was a kid
Are you gonna play Ninja turtle collection in your channel ?
There's hard and then there's NES hard.
Pretty much my sentiments. It has a certain something that subsequent games, enjoyable though they are, lack.

Ever notice this game bears a closer resemblance to the original comic than the contemporary animated series?

Wonderful memory with this good retro game that reminds me of my early childhood. I still play it from time to time thanks to an emulator. And I confess I still love it so much.
9:30 I love how the hand is out of the screen
Yeah that's pretty funny
I was never able to finish this game back then and it was not the water maze the problem but an impossible jump in level 3.
My only major gripe with this game (and I hope I'm not the only one who has this gripe) is how you could unexpectedly collect a sub-weapon weaker than the Scrolls, and you don't get the option of replacing it, or keeping the scrolls. This can be very frustrating, especially if you're trying to stock up 99 scrolls with all four Turtles.
Yeah, more than once I've screwed myself by accidentally grabbing something like the stars when I already had scrolls.
That's just a carry over from Castlevania. Frustrating is an understatement.
Great video. I've had this game for decades and never even got close to finishing it.
This game had the weirdest enemies. 😂
Mind sharing a bit about your set-up? Are these recordings from emulation? Looks great!

Very difficult, but very good game. Dig the soundtrack, too.
Does anybody know what the powerup with the dude walking on something does cuz idk
Man, this game has even more graphical glitchiness than Metroid 1 when there’s too much stuff onscreen
Hardest part for me was stage 3. Couldn't decipher the maze like like area as a kid.
there is no way you can calculate my level of hype i have for the tmnt collection

I play tmnt on the nes when I was a kid and it's still excellent today. 😀👍🐢🎮
The Cowabunga Collection with it's saves, rewind feature and ability to remove sprite flicker made this game almost tolerable!
I had this one as a kid but never beat it, I got up to the technodrome

Hopefully the collection on Steam will include some features to make it more bearable.

First got TMNT as a birthday gift in the early 90s and it was challenging…years later I finally beat TMNT put the game back in the box and left it in my closet…can’t wait until the tmnt cowabunga collection is released…not to brag I’ve beaten every tmnt game since I finally beat tmnt on Nintendo years later….
Some of the best 8 bit music.
Good old memories
Battle roads may have the speeder bikes but at least there are places you can camp. TMNT give you no place to camp and if you die you have to worry about lives and losing party members.

I loved this game when I was little (5 years old ) in 1990
They need to put this on the nes switch online. A true classic.
Coolest sounding game for sure
right down the memory lane
