In the 80s and 90s, there were many great Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games in arcades, for NES, for SNES, for Game Boy, and for Genesis. And now, yesterday’s biggest TMNT hits are coming to modern consoles in the form of The Cowabunga Collection.
This collection comes to us courtesy of Konami and their collaboration with Digital Eclipse and current TMNT license holder Nickelodeon. And whether you’re a Turtles fan from afar or a more recent convert, this collection has something for everyone.
What do you get in the Cowabunga Collection? Here is the full list of games:
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Arcade)
- TMNT: Turtles in Time (Arcade)
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES)
- TMNT II: The Arcade Game (NES)
- TMNT III: The Manhattan Project (NES)
- TMNT IV: Turtles in Time (SNES)
- TMNT: The Hyperstone Strike (Genesis)
- TMNT: Fall of the Foot Clan (Game Boy)
- TMNT II: The Return from the Sewers (Game Boy)
- TMNT III: Radical Rescue (Game Boy)
- TMNT: Tournament Fighters (NES)
- TMNT: Tournament Fighters (SNES)
- TMNT: Tournament Fighters (Genesis)
While these games are decades old, this collection offers new features that gamers can expect. For example, there will be a special Challenge Mode and Boss Mode to match the updated HD textures. And there will also be rewind and state save features which, coupled with the collection’s custom game guides, may finally help some of us TMNT fans beat the first game for NES (curse, swim level!).
Most importantly, you don’t have to play some of these games alone. With local multiplayer, you can play arcade games, console versions of arcade games, and console-only titles like TMNT 3: The Manhattan Project and Hyperstone Heist with friends. Additionally, online multiplayer is available for TMNT 2: The Arcade Game, TMNT 3: The Manhattan Project, and TMNT 4: Turtles in Time.
We first heard about The Cowabunga Collection in Wednesday’s State of Play stream which verified that this collection will arrive on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. However, it will also arrive on PC, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X / S in the 2022.
