Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Turtles in Time vs. Hyperstone Heist: 1990s Critics Pick the Winner
89In this corner, we have Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time, the Super NES beat ‘em up based on the arcade smash hit. In the other corner we have Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist, a console-exclusive brawler that brought the Turtles to the Genesis for the first time. These are two of the most-popular beat ‘em ups of all time, and an important part in the Genesis vs. Super NES console war. But what did the critics say 32 years ago? Was it this hotly contested or was there a clear winner in this 16-bit showdown? To answer that question, I decided to flip through the pages of Electronic Gaming Monthly, Mean Machines, GamePro and more classic magazines that reviewed both of these brawlers back when they first came out. Today we’re going to see where the critics landed and maybe, just maybe, settle this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles debate once and for all in this pizza-loving episode of Magazine Match-Up!
