such assholes!! I could have used those pizzas I am sure.
Then the game would be possible to 1CC on normal(which is a good thing since easy is still the only way to do it).

I definitely agree, the SNES was the better version between the two.
If there was a better remake of this game & if it had a mix between the Arcade version & the SNES version of the following below, it would've been perfect:
Big Apple, 3 A.M., Alleycat Blues, Bury My Shell At Wounded Knee, Neon Night Riders, & Starbase: Where No Turtle Has Gone Before: Same as the Arcade versions.
Sewer Surfin': Same as Arcade version, but with Rat King at the end.
Technodrome: Let's Kick Shell!: Same as SNES version (of course).
Prehistoric Turtlesarus: Same as Arcade version, but with Slash.
Skull & Crossbones: Same as Arcade version, but with Rocksteady & Bebop.
Technodrome: The Final Shell Shock: Super Shredder instead of Shredder with light saber.
All with 4 Player mode.

I remember my strategy was using Michelangelo. after a while the hordes of enemies would force me to spam his 2 button attack, a swim-like movement where he opens his arms/nunchucks wide, I was hoping to get 4 or 5 soliders each time.
I also remember walking VERY slowly in the cave level to avoid getting the screen too crowded and that didn't help either. At one point, I managed to get the screen empty, then moved by the milimeter and bam, 12 soldiers right there...
nightmares from my childhood! lol
Not quite the thread for it, but I figure the right people are reading this so I'll ask.
I could've sworn that after the NES port of TMNT arcade came out, Pizza Hut got a 2nd rev of the game that included the two NES levels. However, in my brief googling I can find no evidence of it. Mamedb does list a 2nd revision of the US version, but doesn't have any info about content.
Does anyone else remember this? Is my brain just making things up?
edit: I'm pretty sure this was not the PC10 version. But hell, I don't have any evidence to back that up either.

The two tracks for Shredders hideout were some of the best in the Genesis game. Though I also really do like the Genesis rendition of Skull & Crossbones (AKA The Mysterious Ghost Ship). I prefer it over the SNES version. It's just really punchy.
Also, Sewer Surfin' (called Riding the Waves in the Genesis game) is another good rendition on the Genesis. Here's the SNES version for comparison.

Remember when you would buy a Konami title just because it was a Konami title. You instinctively knew it would be a good game based on the company.
WTF happened to this company!!

I have nothing but love for the SNES version, but am completely neutral on the Arcade version. I still enjoy busting out TMNT4 from time to time just to 1CC it on Hard. Fuck Slash, though. Even after learning how to beat him quickly, fuck Slash.
Hmm, I remember there being differences in the NES version compared to the Arcade one (the snow level in Central Park and a level in a Japanese dojo with a cyber samurai fight at the end?) , but not sure if those were because of a 2nd revision to the game or what.

He's not wrong though.
No, 4 player would probably have a lot of slowdown!

When I first tried the arcade version something felt off. Physics, hit detection and the levels. So the SNES game is the best by far. However I wonder how the Arcade of the Turtles 2 arcade fairs towards the NES game. I really wanted to try out the port ofthat one out on the xbox 360.

Ugh....why isn't this on the Virtual Console??
I imagine it must be licensing issues but I would buy this up so fast.

SNES. It's one of the best games of all time.
The way I remembered it was because Pizza Hut moneyhatted the NES version (all the in-game posters were changed to Pizza Hut), they got a 2nd rev of the arcade game w the NES-exclusive content. But, I can find no evidence this ever happened besides the fact that Mamedb does list a 2nd revision of the game.
I know exactly what you're talking about... the "Planet Rock" (and every other freestyle song ever) sound. Don't know what it's called or what type of synth produced it but yeah that was such a big sound back in the day.

I have the Mikey from that set but I never saw the others... I'd kill for the Samurai Leo.
