EXC uh welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we'll be counting down our picks
for the top 10 Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles video
games
ninin
ninin for this list will be shell
shredding it up with the one who leads
the one who does machines the one who's
cool but rude and of course the party
dude we'll only be looking at games that
have already been released at the time
of writing even if the trailer to a
certain new Ninja Turtles game looks
pretty radical but that said it's time
to unleash our Turtle
power number 10 Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles Manhattan missions
most of the TMNT video games we grew up
with were based on the classic cartoon
series Manhattan missions was different
released exclusively for the PC this
game was based on both the Mirage comics
and the first movie you know the one
where the turtles swear and Raph almost
dies is he no He's Alive bar yeah this
game ditched a lot of the goofy fun in
favor of a darker tone from characters
resembling their movie counterparts to
everything taking place at night
night the plot is still the same formula
you'd expect though save April fight the
bad guys stop Shredder but it's all told
in a way that looks like you're flipping
through a comic
[Music]
book number nine Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles NES
[Music]
1989 no we still haven't beaten this one
and no we don't know anyone that has
[Music]
the very first Ninja Turtles game is one
of the most difficult titles in the NES
Library your goal is to get the life
Transformer gun from Shredder because it
could potentially restore Splinter to
his human
[Music]
form along the way you have to save
April deactivate bombs and uh I don't
know that's about as far as we
got well despite our controller throwing
rage over this game we can't help our
warm nostalgic feelings for it after all
you always remember your first
[Music]
right number eight Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles 2 back from the
[Music]
sewers the second Turtles game released
on the Game Boy followed the beat him up
formula that the franchise was
establishing for itself but with a
couple of twists there there were stage
hazards to avoid like Boulders and most
importantly skateboarding one of the
turtles' favorite pastimes besides
eating
[Music]
pizza much like the NES game and its
Game Boy predecessor running out of
Health led to your turtle being captured
but at the end of each stage you had a
chance to rescue him there were also
more villains this time around such as
the Super Shredder who was definitely
more difficult than his movie
counterpart how much did that suck
number seven Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles tournament Fighters s NES
[Music]
version while three versions of this
game were made you can skip the NES and
Genesis versions cuz the S NES version
is where it's at so imagine rayu finding
four turtles covered in Greeno instead
of the Splinter we're sure he would have
taught them the ways of the haduken so
they could enter a tournament to take on
M bison or in this case we mean
[Music]
Shredder yes there is actually a 2d
fighting game that looks like a hybrid
of Street Fighter 2 and turtle power as
they enter a tournament of all things to
take on Shredder and other Fighters or
go on a story quest to rescue April and
Splinter because the game needed a bit
more of a plot Beyond round one fight
[Music]
number six Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
fall of the Foot
[Music]
Clan this was the very first handheld
Ninja Turtles game sort of there were a
few electronic handhelds before it
complete with their monotonous beeps and
a lack of a coherent goal follow of the
Foot Clan was the first handheld to
contain some semblance of a story and a
variety of levels which you could
complete in in any order you
[Music]
wanted overall the game was simple but
entertaining with the predictable goal
of rescuing April and familiar foes like
foot soldiers Shredder and crank it was
a good first step in the handheld
Direction and perfect for bandana
wearing fans with game
Boys number five TMNT GBA version 2007
before Michael Bay but after the '90s
feudal Japan Adventure Our Heroes in a
half shell had a CGI big screen
Adventure in 2007 this of course led to
a video game tie-in and we all know how
well video games based on movies do hey
I was just trying to break it to you
easy ubisoft's first 4A into the sewers
was actually okay with Cooperative
gameplay and acrobatic segments similar
to Prince of Persia however the Game Boy
advanced version went back to the braw
roots of the Konami TMNT games and the
2D style was a perfect way to update the
graphics and remind us how bosanova
Turtles games could
[Music]
be number four Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles the hyperstone
[Music]
heist H the '90s when we were at war
with our friends over which console was
better the SNES or the Sega Genesis this
meant that we boast about the games we
played Mario versus Sonic SN Aladdin
versus The Genesis one or Turtles in
Time versus The hyperstone
Heist hyperstone Heist as you can
probably guess was the genesis's answer
to a Ninja Turtles game as soon as the
opening starts it's easy to compare it
to its SNES counterpart from its similar
story to its gam playay but it did
manage to stand out with longer levels
in different enemies including Tatsu
from the first two liveaction
[Music]
movies number three Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles 3 the Manhattan
[Music]
Project hey dudes who wants to go out
and catch some waves that's exactly what
our heroes had planned at the start of
our third pick clearly they're not meant
to ever leave the city because they
don't get to stay in Sunny Key West for
long before Shredder hatches one of his
nefarious
[Music]
gemes this time time he's turned
Manhattan into a floating island oh and
of course he's captured April yada y y
let's go surfing if there's one thing we
remember about this game besides the
Bodacious amounts of action of course
it's how we still manage to have gnarly
battles while surfing across the water
cow
[Music]
Bunga number two Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles the arcade
game let's be honest this game set the
standard for what we expected from a
TMNT video game not just for the arcades
but for consoles as well up to four
players could play the arcade version
which meant you could complete the
ultimate Squad goals by having all the
turtles fight
together with your friends and a roll of
quarters at your side or maybe two you
could battle against classic villains
like bbop and Rock Steady as you set out
to oh save everyone's favorite yellow
jumpsuited reporter and rat Sensei what
can we say it's what the Ninja Turtles
do hang on
[Music]
April before we finish off our totally
tubular list let's hold the anchovies
for these honorable mentions
[Music]
number one Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
turtles in
[Music]
time while the first arcade game got the
ball rolling for the sides scrolling
beat him up formula for Our Heroes in a
half shell turtles in time perfected it
for some reason it just clicked in all
the right ways was it because we got to
travel to different historical eras was
it the tweaks in gameplay the improved
Gra Graphics the pizza power Pizza
power well one thing's for sure it
perfectly captured the fun of the show
and was oozing with energy and
style Turtles in Time kept everything
that worked with its predecessor and
made improvements and enhancements right
where they needed it simply put it's
still the most radical Turtles Adventure
we've ever been
