Topic: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge

Okay so the technodrome level Is really starting to annoy me! Those dang charging rock dudes that i can't remember the name of keep killing me.

@Truegamer79 I think you are talking about the Stone Warriors

@bimmy-lee Dude I am loving it. And I love all the Easter Eggs and references they included just not TMNT but other Konami Arcade games as well. I am very pleased with this game and can't wait for my physical copy to show up.

@bimmy-lee Of course mate, I hope that you and your family feel better soon.

@Truegamer79 I usually evade them and hit them once they get stunned or just jump and do a special attack which usually instantly kills them.

I Finally managed to beat Chromedome so that's a relief! So far that's been the hardest level at least for me. I'm kinda wondering if you get anything special for completing those requests Like finding Erma's diaries or Vernon's vhs tapes.

@Truegamer79 If you collect them all you get

I think I might actually get this on Switch, even tho it’s on Gamepass lt just seems like something that should be played in handheld mode.

@Losermagnet Leo is my favourite too so I understand Magician mate haha. I take the 2003 series, comics and turtles and batman movie as reference as honestly I don't think the 80s cartoon is a good way to see the characters personalities. It really hasn't aged well in my opinion. Leo may be disciplined, but he still has humour, he's smart and he accomplished being the best through hard work. I understand the appeal of the others but Leo is the best for me.

Oh and about the other two:

Shredder, not even close. He's the absolute best.

Pepperoni. I'm a basic dude haha.

It should be played in every mode.

So I finished my first playthrough this morning and this game is my GOTY without a doubt. Everything was perfect with this game.

I finished this time with me playing Donatello while my son played April both are now maxed level so we started a new game with Raph and Casey. I will probably go into more detail in the review thread as I don't want to post spoilers here.

Whew, I was shell shocked for a few days, but now I’m back with credits galore. I took Splinter through story mode last night after the update and noticed quite a bit of tweaking in the game. It seems quite a few adjustments were made to the boss fights. It seems they became a bit easier, while the aggression of the Foot might have been bumped up a tick. Glad they’re working on an already excellent game.

@Tasuki - No spoilers, but the last few levels are CRAZY! It’s so fun. Glad to hear you’re enjoying it with your son. My kids ask every day if we can play it. I don’t know much about that Kunio game coming at the end of July, so the only game I know for sure that can compete with this for my personal GOTY is River City Girls 2. Personally, the combat in RCG is a notch above this game, but this one tops that game in all other categories, except maybe the killer soundtracks are even.

@roy130390 - Yo, I’m gonna hit you up for some Turtle Time this weekend. Bet we can put up a respectable score in arcade mode.

@bimmy-lee Yeah the soundtrack is awesome even to the point I am debating on getting the soundtrack itself for those Turtle tubular tunes lol. Yeah the final levels are crazy but where still good. I wonder if I should create a spoiler thread. There's stuff I want to talk about but I don't want to spoil stuff for others.

And where are my two TMNT bros @Waveboy and @Ryno at? I thought for sure they would pop in here.

@bimmy-lee Of course mate, tell me when you are free or even send me an invitation to join. I just finished it again today with my girlfriend haha.

@roy130390 - Think I missed you by just a few minutes last night. I should be on one of the next couple nights.

@Tasuki - Yeah, I’d like a physical copy of the soundtrack, preferably vinyl. There are so many little details and animations packed into this game, I’m still noticing new things every time I play. Soundtrack related, I think the coolest moment I’ve ever experienced in a video game is when Shredder jumps onto the screen for the first battle and Wu Tang starts up with an original song all about him... I couldn’t even believe it at first. I think I briefly turned into a beam of pure light.

I just think that whilst I have this through Gamepass, it seems so appropriate for the Switch in handheld. Not regretting the double dip…

@bimmy-lee That was fantastic mate, it was really fun to team up with you! You are really good at the game, I hope that we play another time!

@roy130390 - Had a blast, we make a good team! Good for 90 millionth place, haha! You were the one saving me with that delicious za. I’d definitely like to play again, maybe we can round up more Turtles from this thread next time.

Loving this game on game pass, and ordered the LRG physical from Amazon, but I'm going to be pissed if the major bug fix patches aren't on the physical. Nothing ruins a potential classic like a broken game on cartridge. It especially irks me when they know before release that there are bugs and already have a patch ready. Just delay the game in that case, logistics be damned.

Sorry to be a downer though, this is game of the year (tied with Kirby IMO)

@Roz1281 nah you're right. Hoping the same honestly. No reason not to have the patch on the cart when it hits my doorstep, whenever that may be.

@NeonPizza Hahaha Good to see you bro. Yeah I haven't seen Ryno for a minute either looking back on his profile it seems he hasn't been around since 2020. Still I thought maybe the shout out would get his attention. To by honest I don't spend much time here like I use. Alot of the old people who I use to chat with I don't see anymore and the new ones coming I just don't get. They talk about DS games and GameCube games as classics like we do NES and Genesis, which don't get wrong are great games but not retro or classic and when I usually point that out it leads to an argument and I just don't have time for that crap.

Yeah I get the LGR stuff. Since my house burned down last year it put alot of my collecting in perspective. I mean yeah I like the stuff, especially that Shredder action figure, but honestly am I going to use it? Who am I showing it off too?? In the end it's one more thing of clutter. That like you said will end up on ebay in a few years. Although I will be getting the $60 set with the VHS sleeve. Seeing that sleeve brings back to many memories for me to pass on it. Memories like hitting the video store in the late eighties with my dad on the weekend after spending hours feasting on large amounts of sugar and watching Saturday Morning Cartoons and seeing the TMNT videos on a shelf waiting to be rented lol. Heck seeing that VHS slipcover and instantly I hear that F.H.E. jingle in my head lol.

But however you play you don't want to miss it. It definitely made me feel like a kid again playing it.

@bimmy-lee Oh yeah, a full turtle team would be great, count me in!

By the way guys, has anyone passed Gnarly difficulty on arcade? It's a considerable difference between normal and that mode. I see people saying that the "taunt" mechanic shouldn't be spammable, but I think that Story Mode is for a chill run/training so it doesn't matter there and that it's a really useful mechanic in Arcade mode. Besides, you can only have one energy bar there so there's a big difference. I actually found Gnarly Arcade harder than Fight N' Rage, which is considered a challenging beat'em up.
