The boss fights are almost all just back and forth slap fights, ugh. (Admittedly there are almost certainly techniques here for not sucking that I don't know.)
Overall, yeah maybe this isn't the greatest arcade beat-em-up--at least not single-player. I suppose back in the arcades in the day I only played it co-op--drained too many of my quarters otherwise! ; D The animation is a little slow compared to, say, Capcom beat-em-ups, and the boss fights are pretty boring. Nice art, though!
Oh also, I'm an idiot: I think I said somewhere in here--or was it in the next episode, on the NES one--that Konami should've taken a clue from Capcom's Final Fight or something and made the action snappier. But TMNT came out on Oct 11, '89--and Final Fight didn't come out until a month and a half AFTER that: Nov. 25th, 1989. So...I guess Konami can't be blamed for not copying Final Fight. = P
Cut off the 16:9 sidebars since the arcade game itself is 4:3, so that's why the sides of the Collection's menu screens are cut off.
