I received the nes version as a gift for my seventh birthday in 1992 (30 years ago!!). I had been playing the arcade for months and it was amazing to see the same game on an 8 bit. Best present ever!!

The NES version is a fine example of a Arcade port done right. 1. Graphical effects like the fire in scene 1 were done really well on the NES. They even had the elevator section from the Technodrome. Also the cutscenes were good recreations from the Arcade. 2. The music was great also. Some fine chiptunes right there.

When TMNT 2: The Arcade launched I could not believe my own eyes. "What kind of black sorcery was this?" I thought. The game was so excellently crafted that I constantly lost myself while playing and feeling out of place when I stopped as I was not sitting in an arcade. The graphics were incredible, music sublime, and gameplay that is every bit as good as the arcade. I remember being a bit angry this game never made it to the Sega Genesis as it could have done it full out. It was one of the very few Nes games that drew me back in after getting my Genesis in 1989.

I spent some of my paper route money on this game when it first released on the NES. I was absolutely blown away by how good the port was compared to the arcade version. It still holds up all these years later.

This is one of the best comparisons you've done, the pauses are exactly where they needed to be. I didn't know the NES had exclusive areas not found in the Arcade version!

Its incredible how they managed to port this game to nes. Really faithfull and also has more stages. Gameplay is really solid too. For me, Nes version wins for he merit it has.

One of the most beloved and successful downports of all time, much love for Konami on all of it

Great conversion for a 8 bit console

That MMC chip in that cartridge was putting in some serious OT! Had fun with the nes version back in the day!

OMG the use of right and left channel sound is absolutely BRILLIANT!

I always loved when home consoles added something a little different to their ports to not only compensate but in some cases offer something great you couldn't get on arcade. TMNT on NES unique stages, Turtles in Time SNES and Hyperstone Heist on Mega Drive, Double Dragon on NES, Final Fight CD, Shadow Dancer and ESwat, etc

I never had this one, but I had TMNT III: The Manhattan Project & that was one of the best NES games I've ever played. I kept my NES for 20+ years just for that game & as luck would have it all the classic TMNT games are now being rereleased in a Cowabunga Collection. That's just rad.

Esse eu joguei muito no Arcade e depois no nintendinho em casa, sem gastar fichas😂.A experiência de jogar um jogo de Arcade em casa não tem explicação. Só quem viveu a época sabe a emoção.

I remember the 3rd game, Manhattan project, looking a lot more similar to this presentation from the arcade, especially the menu and character select. So I think they got a lot more out of the NES later on.

I never really appreciated just how good the NES port is. Awesome video.

This port was insane back in the day

Thank you for making this like totally radical comparison, dude! It's surprising how the NES port is both longer and harder than the original arcade game hahaha! In most cases it's the other way around. However, Super C on the NES also fits that description. In terms of other NES ports that did an incredible job in recreating the feel of the arcade experience, while actually managing to surpass their original counterparts, Gun.Smoke and P.O.W. Prisoners of War come to mind, as they both came up with new content and were much more fun to play, compared to their angry parents. Anyway, be sure to keep it up and NEVER give up!

I absolutely adored this game. Putting my quarters into the machine and destroying everything. Those loud explosions from downed foot soldiers are forever engraved into my brain.

O Nintendinho fez um ÓTIMO trabalho dado os parcos recursos que detinha em relação ao arcade !!! Foi o 1° jogo dos Tartarugas que joguei em 1993 no meu saudoso Top Game !!! Obrigado Marota !!! Nes make one AWESOME port this arcade game !!!

Esse cart é simplesmente uma das melhores combinações personagens de filmes/TV + jogos já criada. Sem sombra de dúvida, o mérito da versão do NES é trazer a experiência arcade pra casa, porém a emoção de jogar esse game num fliperama na época é indescritível. Gráficos muito fiéis, efeitos sonoros marcantes com a trilha original da franquia, além dos quadros de diálogos marcam profundamente a memória de quem via a máquina da lendária Konami em ação.

Incrível essa versão, preciso jogar 🙏🏻 ótimo trabalho ❤️

Someone: You can't put the arcade game in the Famicom Konami: Challenge accepted

I wish they would have made this for the SNES as well

So much time spent on the arcade cabinet ! 😍

man this game is my passion on arcade, even today sometimes I play this game here, just amazing

Eu amo a Konami dos bons tempos! Os efeitos sonoros da versão nes são a cara do nintendinho kk

Yeah I remember renting this as a kid on nes...last year I bought a retro system that plays NES and SNES games and TMNT turtles in time...I also spent fair share of time playing the arcade version...I bought shredders revenge last month and pre ordered TMNT cowabunga collection...can't wait to it till it ships...I just learned this year..that TMNT arcade was on Xbox live arcade but ..de-listed for the Xbox 360 and I still have my Xbox 360 as well

Top notch content!

Man I remember as a 7 yr old playing this in the arcade was a dream we couldn't believe it after playing the TMNT 1 on the nes that was super hard and didn't really look like the TV show. But this made us wish and when TMNT the arcade game made it on nes we were blown away. I remember my grandma rip took me and my older brother to Kmart and said we could get one game I wanted this so bad and my brother wanted Metroid 😡🤬and I don't remember but she got Metroid and I was pissed at my brother, the memories but I end up getting from a friend. Good ol days trading games. Now gaming is trash compared to them days. God I love being a turtle fan!!!!

For me this was the game that let me know it wouldn't be long before home consoles would catch up to Arcade machines. I loved the NES port of this game so much that once I got it I would only play the arcade if I could play with 3 other people.

An absolute masterpiece from top to bottom. This is genuinely the gold standard on how to port something onto weaker hardware.

My childhood!!! Loved the arcade and got the nes version for Xmas 😍😍😍

Ótimo Port, conseguiram adaptar o jogo sem tirar a essência.

An NES port I was truly impressed with as a kid. My brother and I loved this game.

I remember when i got this at the time... having the arcade game at home with bonus stages also was so cool... huge conversion for the NES hardware! i love it.

The NES version was one of the first games I ever played when I was a kid. I never had an opportunity to try the Arcade version. I look forward to giving it a try in the Cowabunga Collection.

O ARCADE FOI UNS DOS JOGOS MAIS DIVERTIDO QUE JA JOGUEI AO SABER QUE TINHA ESSA DESGRAÇA POR DYNAVISION UAL - POR ISSO NES WINS , E TEM OUTRA VERSÃO QUE DA PRA 2 PLAYERS NO NES , ERA IGUAL TER UM ARCADE EM CASA - *NES WINS*

Considerando que é um console 8 bits e é um port de antes dos anos 90 esse jogo é basicamente PERFEITO e tem mais estágios que o original além de novos chefes de fase. IMPECÁVEL! Parabéns pelo vídeo!

I wish there was a 16 bit port of this game. surprised they didn't make one for the genesis at least

Essa foi melhor conversão de um arcade pro nintendinho,meu pai alugou esse jogo num fim de semana,só q não zerei,de tão difícil q era

Replaying these games on the Cowabunga Collection. Highly recommended. 👍

I remember living in Guantanamo bay Cuba and they had the arcade out in front of the Navy Exchange. My dad let me chill out there with 5 bucks which was a lot at the time. When he came out I was super bummed to leave but I saw the outline of the NES game in his bag and could faintly make out what it was. I immediately shut up and was the best kid ever. I still remember opening it on Christmas. 😃 Now I'm playing it with my 4 year old son and having a blast.

Wow im surprised to see somebody finally did it a side by side comparison

Cowabunga collection comes out this week! Can't wait!

I haven't played TMNT Shredder's Revenge but TMNT arcade game 1989 for me still is the best TMNT game I ever played. I am looking forward to the TMNT cowabunga collection which looks awesome. TMNT 1990 movies were the best, not crazy about the reboots 2014 and beyond with Michael Bay as they really got a lot of things wrong. The cartoon show from 1989 was the best of all as well. If they make a TMNT movie or TMNT 4 film I would prefer with the 1990's animatronic style TMNT movie rathe then the CGI style turtles which did not work that well and looked over exaggerated and buffed up

Agora assim, sempre achei esses dois jogos muito difíceis, aí ela zerou os dois numa gameplay só! Impressionante!

GOOD JOB,brother

Walking out of a movie and seeing this game for the first time as a child , the fresh scent of pop corn in the air and watching a ton of kids playing this game drastically shoving quarters in the machine was a very very badass experience

I would have loved to have seen this port on SNES or Genesis

看到忍者龜的遊戲畫面就讓我想起小時候的回憶了的說！ 當年每次跟朋友們一起去電玩店，第一個選擇一定就是忍者龜的機台！有沒有跟我一樣的小孩一起長大的說？

When I was kid my mind played tricks on me making me think the NES port’s graphics were almost the same as the Arcade version.

Amazing!!!

Muy buena adaptacion. Yo tenia un salon arcade a una cuadra y tener esto en casa hacia que me sintiera poderoso .cuando otros tenian que ir al arcade

The arcade version is easily my favorite beat em up ever. The NES version is amazing considering the limitations of the hardware, and was a blast to play. Still is.

Na minha infância eu fui comprar um Master, mas nas lojas só tinham o Phantom, esse jogo valeu a pena, pra mim foi o melhor game para o Nes, eu tinha o cartucho e joguei muito.

One of the best 8-bit games.

O Port que fizeram pra esse jogo no Nes é algo surreal. Os recursos que a Konami tinha e ainda conseguiu entregar um jogo tão parecido é digino de prêmios.

I think the real issue at the apartment complex is that people stored giant bowling balls in the top floors, that seems like a code violation to me hahah...especially unsecured and ready to just come lose and fly down the stairs. Bad timing that giant novelty bowling ball collector had hit apartment burn down and have them find their way down the steps! I loved Arcade game of this game as well as the NES version. The NES Version was way better because the fight with Dirt Bag in the snow level and the Samurai Guy in the typical dojo level. Also the battle against Baxter the Fly instead of Beebop and Rocksteady....which is ironic because the re-worked Sega Genesis game of Turtles in Time (Hyperstone Heist) has you fight him in his human form instead of his fly form in the Arcade/SNES versions of actual Turtles in Time. Hyperstone Heist was fun but the difference in sound is unbelievable between the SNES and Genesis, they're version of the amazing boss themes is just terrible. It sounds like they have sample rate of 16hz @ 96bits. SNES ALWAYS had that over Genesis...2 years difference in technology made a huge difference (Genesis/Master System), especially back then. They truly had some of the best sound in video games of that era and some are all timers like from the Squaresoft games (Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy "6", and Super Mario RPG (I can't believe I'm buying a System years after playing video games just for that game, but I bet Nintendo counted on that for being born in the mid 80's that played that game to death and have it in their top 5 video games ever. I bought a PS4 for 3 games: Kingdom Hearts 3, Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes. Just like I bought the Dreamcast back in the day for Code Veronica...only for it come out...and buying the"director's cut" for PS2 with my favorite (Wesker) literally 6 months later (with a demo to the upcoming amazing Devil May Cry).Games were infinitely better back then and slowly turned to trash at the end of 2000's...but also had showed some signs of that up to that point.

Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade love that game takes me back

I love the Nes port, but the Arcade version is a masterpiece!!!!

This is a great example for TMNT at home.

Just one more week to play these gems again on my playstaion 5 so happyyyyyyy

I LOVE these two games !!!

Now this is how a port is supposed to be.. if you can't get a 100% 95% will do.. I know the NES was limited but what Konami did to make this port work on the NES is nothing short of amazing..

I had this game as a kid and loved it. It looked great! Especially compared to the first turtles game fighting metal bugs. 😂 I also remember playing this game at the different pizza joints.

This was a fine job

The very first time I saw TMNT's arcade cabinet, I had the fortune to see it with a screen really big, just the wide as the joysticks table. I think it was a 40" size, 4:3. Correct me if I'm wrong.

one of the great NES games that managed to use its power a lot!

Incredible arcade port by Konami!

21:02 that beautiful timing on the soundtracks!!!

Leonardo is a bad ass on character select. Turtle power 🐢

Cool content

The shredder soundtrack is SO aggressive heavy thrash

The arcade version looks like the graphics seen in TMNT 4: Turtles in time for the SNES

Alguien más puso atención al de 8bit con la música de 16bit del arcade? Es una sensación totalmente diferente! En su momento yo conectaba una mezcladora al mes y un walkman con la música del arcade😅

Excellent port!

Reading the title at the top(TMNT) I thought this was the first NES Turtles game and was confused because I never seen an arcade version of that. Then I remembered the second Turtles game on NES was substitled “The Arcade Game” with no 2 on it. When I saw “fire” in the beginning cutscene, I was like, oh this is Turtles 2.🤓

Well done.

TMNT on NES just was so much more technologically advanced. look at @05:16 they had a huge 65" or so widescreen TV for shredder unlike the boxy arcade TV which was probably some rear projection TV haha.

nes graphics colour looks attractive and sounds feels better to hear

게임의 이식은 이렇게 하는거란걸 보여준 작품. NES의 성능을 한계까지 끌어올린 명작.

A diferença é gritante, tanto em áudio quanto imagem!

they did a great job in the port

Game was mind blowing at the time

As child, i thought the nes was an exact port minus 4 players. This was the game everyone talked about at school yard, and borrowed the game for another game all the time. Who ever had this cartridge was the friend to be with.

I love the Krang boss there

Although I loved TMNT 2 for the NES as a kid I couldn't get enough of the arcade game. The arcade wins every time. And now that I actually own one as an adult I can play it all the time haha.

Classic on either gameplay arcade or the good old NES still a fantastic game

i bet this gme wkuld have been awesome on snes.

Back in the 80s, when your 8 bit game was as fun as its arcade counterpart, the graphics barely mattered.

Would like to have seen some more attack animations and dialogue text retained, but this was still an incredible nes port.

Obviamente a versão do árcade era superior, não dava para o NES ser igual, mas mesmo assim conseguiu cumprir o papel de divertir muita gente igual a mim. Lembro que nos anos 90 quando esse jogo na máquina pela primeira vez eu fiquei parado em frente a ela assistindo os caras jogando, achava demais aqiela sonzeira que a máquina e o jogo faziam. A versão do NES eu comprei o cartucho numa loja e locadora de games que tinha na região do Tatuapé - SP na rua Santa Virgínia, dava meio que uma "brochada" na hora de jogar pelo fato de não ser totalmente igual a máquina mas mesmo assim deu pra brincar bastante com o jogo. Atualmente tenho o jogo da versão árcade no emulador MAME.

It's true, it's an incredible port, but I've played it and I've found a big but and it's a defect in the impact commission, it's that when you hit an enemy the third hit will fail and that's when the enemy will hit you. They did this to create a greater difficulty in the absence of enemies on the screen? or is it that they could not faithfully carry the arcade gameplay; I think it's the first. this leads to the game using different tactics.

My sister loves this game! 🥰

This is not a port. This is a miracle...

Esse port na nes é espetacular.

Classic!

You cold tell the arcade team made the nintendo version. It shows. The credits proves this too.

wow, did the *whole* game this time

It's funny how the nes version April's apartment was longer than the arcade version but overall both version are good to play
