TMNT 2: The Arcade Game - Part 4: Happy Ending - 'The Cowabunga Collection'
4This week we cover the sequel to the original NES game - 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Arcade Game' - which on the NES and not the arcade, but which was based on the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game, which came out before the original NES game.
...I don't understand either.
NOTE: In addition to the official TMNT games I'm covering in this playlist, I've also got a bunch of videos planned for games that are not specifically TMNT games but in which you can play as the Ninja Turtles. I was going to save all of them for later, but with the recent release of Ed in Street Fighter 6 I was inspired to cover his training as Leonardo (I bought the costume). It's a 3-part miniseries of videos I'll be posting this Saturday, Sunday and Monday at the usual time of 8:00 AM (EST). But don't worry, I'm still covering TMNT 3 next week as planned, starting on Tuesday, and covering the rest of the Cowabunga Collection after that.
The play order that I've decided on for this collection (which probably won't make sense to anyone other than me) is as follows...
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Arcade, 1989)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan (Gameboy, 1990)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Back From the Sewers (Gameboy, 1991)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: Radical Rescue (Gameboy, 1993)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES, 1989)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game (NES, 1990)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project (NES, 1991)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles In Time (Arcade, 1991)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles In Time (SNES, 1992)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Hyperstone Heist (Genesis, 1992)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters (SNES, 1993)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters (Genesis, 1993)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters (NES, 1994)
(Yes, the NES version of Tournament Fighters came out AFTER the SNES version. I have no idea why.)
Because each game takes a different amount of time to get through, but I still wanna keep videos between 20-30 minutes whenever possible, it's hard to say exactly how they're gonna be scheduled each week, but I will probably aim for morning releases for most of them (8:00 AM Eastern Standard Time). And I'd like to get through one game per week. That may mean I end up releasing multiple videos in one day with some of them, but I'll try and avoid that lol.
