TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES MICHAEL BAY REBOOT (2014)

I didnt even fuck with the first NES game; I went straight to the second one, which was an adaptation of the (first) arcade game...

the first NES game is like stockholm syndrome for a whole generation of children

It's got great music, absolutely horrible controls. If you lose Donatello/Leonardo you may as well hit reset. The underwater level gave me strife as a kid but i think after 4 or 5 tries I figured it out and it's actually pretty easy to beat once you get through it. Wading through the relentless respawning armies in the following stage, however...

^i played through this game so many times

yeah, it's really the first sewer/city level that's the worst

this is coming from someone who was readily able to beat the speeder stage in Battletoads

I salute you. That thing destroyed me

This is like the zenith of bad remakes

Wow @ speeder stage in Battletoads. You are a god among men.

my memory of being a kid reading Nintendo Power is that every other issue was about Battletoads (and the rest were inexplicably about Star Tropics)

lololol

Maybe this 300 page TMNT graphic novel I have from 88 will finally be worth something.

i wonder if this is the reason for all the tmnt references on tv shows l8ly

no thats because tmnt is a permanent part of the pop culture zeitgeist

oh man i had the sickest vocal sample of krang shrieking SHREEEEEEDDDDDERRRR that i used to loop over synth-y noize tracks o i hope i still have it

see?

i have to say tho that the cartoon and the snes game is probably a much bigger part of my pop culture zeitgeist than the og movies as much as i enjoy 'turtles in time'

(and the rest were inexplicably about Star Tropics)

this game is dope as fuck

cartoon was pretty big for me

can't believe there's not a chillwave band called Star Tropics. or Tar Stropics.

lol i have a song called 'star tropics'

haha

star tropics is my favorite game of all time most days

star tropics is good stuff.

was able to get aaaall the way to the technodrome in tmnt and some sadistic shit w an autoscrolling screen where you had to diffuse bombs in battletoads. could never beat either, and man, did i ever waste a lot of time trying.

god, even thinking about these games is basically giving me an aneurysm!!!

also getting mad at youtube for not letting me watch 'shredder's many jabs at krang' in my region of the world

yes

How were you able to beat the speeder stage? That part is impossible. Game-breaking bug and they never expected anyone to beat the game.

the other levels were nearly impossible - i never did beat the final tower, even using the warps to get there. but the speeder stage could be memorized and doable if you did it a million times. i probably still have it committed to muscle memory, considering how many times i died over and over again. i vaguely remember pausing a lot, training to learn the placement of the blocks and such

now the snake and unicycle levels, forget it.. i think i maybe beat them once ever, if that

wtf

I REMEMBER THAT SHIT

dude on the right is totally on roids

fuck yeah i'ma play me some battletoads right now

yknow mikey bay should make a live action 'bubble bobble' movie that shitd be real

omg yes the whole point of bubble bobble is explosions basically

bubble bobble is about FRIENDSHIP

used nhex's method of pausing and memorizing nintendo power maps to beat the speeder stage of battletoads iirc

which turtle is Shia Lebouf playing. also what percentage of the Turtles' dialogue will be an offensively awkward attempt at street lingo as filtered through alien amphibians

as part of mikey bay's homage to silent classics like 'the artist' the turtles won't have any dialogue

the pause music in battletoads is better than 99% of other music

i think i always lost in in the speeder stage on one when you were supposed to jump twice?

turtles in time was at aladdin's castle in the mall, many a quarter rolled into that machine...it was right next to samurai showdown

fuckin loved BattleToads

fuck yeah brb still playin battletoads

I spent a lot of time playing the original ninja turtles arcade game at bowling alleys . First video game that I ever beat!

me too!

kind of felt like it was the day i became a man.

i'm still mad that the first time i ever played it I was getting my ass kicked by one of those robot-machine thingies and my friend (who was Michaelangelo) was nearby and his sister was screaming KURT SHOOT HIM! over and over but the dude kept jumping for whatever reason because he apparently couldn't master both buttons at the same time and finally after I died he figured out what he aws doing wrong and vaporized it.

I burnt his house down in retaliation. hope he's fucking happy.

My family started a Christmas tradition a few years ago where we sit around and eat Christmas snacks and watch my brother beat the NES Ninja Turtles game.

the OG one? aws that even possible? that game was insanely difficult

Yeah that's why it became a tradition. That game lead to so many fights between me and my siblings growing up. If my brother got a game over, he'd throw the controller at me and have a tantrum. Day ruined.

Like most video games, I really only liked the part where you're walking around on the overworld map (where you can still get your ass killed, wtf).
