There’s an old arcade Turtles arcade game I use to play at a kabab shop when I was a kid. I can’t remember it’s name but if it’s in this collection then this is a day one buy.

@Rambler you mean like the original black and white comics?

I read them once and noticed they are a weird size and I found out it was because they were an independent release they got a Chinese menu place to print the comics on the cheap so it’s done as the same size as a take out menu rather than a comic.

@jump
The ones I read were in colour, but I believe those were later ones when they were picked up by a publisher (I could be wrong - it's been many many years) - or maybe they were reprinted in colour?
They were the ones with the scratchy, angular artwork and violent content.

Never knew that about the original run!

Digital Eclipse is the developer so will have to hear about any bad input delay

I wonder when we'll start to see collections like this for more recent games? You could have a Turtles collection covering games between 2000 and 2010:-

1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003 - GBA)
2. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003 - GameCube, XBOX, PS2)
3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus (2004 - GameCube, XBOX, PS2, GBA)
4. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare (2005 - GameCube, XBOX, PS2, DS)
5. TMNT: Mutant Melee (2005 - GameCube, XBOX, PS2)
6. TMNT (2007 - XB306, Wii, PS2 etc)
7. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash-Up (2009 - Wii, PS2)

There are other franchises who could do collections like this...

@Rambler Sounds like the orginal, there probably did a repint done in colour.

It's shocking that that two kids made this up (and even called themselves "Mirage" as their studio didn't really exist lol) and made BILLIONS from it. Both DC and Marvel hasn't created something as big as that since then and even the biggest new comic book franchises that came afterwards like The Walking Dead, Spawn, Watchmen, Hellboy, Kingsman etc despite their succes can't touch the Turtles.

I've just checked and it looks like the old arcade game I use to play was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time so it should be in this 🙂

Pretty sure Dark Horse reprinted the original Eastman/Laird Mirage run. I was looking at a set of the originals on Monday. They’re worth a small fortune. I couldn’t get the seller to break a set (he had multiple full runs), so I picked up a couple issues of Usagi Yojimbo for my daughter instead.

Woke up this morning still in disbelief that this is real. Wow. I simply can't wait. I'd imagine this is no more than a couple months out from release date. I'm fairly certain every recent Konami collection after announced released no later than 3 months after, starting with the arcade collection, contra collection, and so on.

I wonder if the NES versions will have actual a proper save progress, Like the games save after every level you beat.. Not just a save state..

@Tasuki What's your opinion on this?? Because what's the point of a save state then when you run out of lives you have to start back from the beginning

There was an 8-bit game of the Ronin rabbit iirc

@Bmartin001 Not to play the game lol. I totally agree with you which is why I probably won't even touch the NES TMNT game.

I’m curious, do you think we will get the Pizza Hut coupon in this collection

Yes. We will most certainly get IT. Has there been any rumblings on when the physical version will be up for a pre-order? I have a feeling you'll need to jump on that right away due to demand.

If I don’t get a coupon for a personal pan pizza in 1989, I will be angry.

@Rambler - You sent me to google with this information, and it looks like there were two Usagi games on the Spectrum as well as a modern phone game. It’d be cool to play the old ones, it looks like one was an RPG.

I’m not even into TMNT (haven’t been since I was a single-digiter), but I love Game Boy games, and I’m keen on grabbing this for those alone.
