After all, the Ninja Turtles were entitled to so many video games that it is not surprising that a retro compilation by grouping a part is announced. This is what happened during the PlayStation State of Play of this evening, where we discovered Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection.
It will bring together 13 games of yesteryear, including Back from the Sewers, Fall of the Foot Clan, Tournament Fighters, The Manhattan Project, RadicalRescue, The Arcade Game, RadicalRescue, The Hyper Stone Heist and Turtles in Time. Some of these arcade, NES, SNES, MegaDrive and Game Boy classics will come with online and local multiplayer modes, while game options will be added. rewind and backup, modes Boss Rush and challenge, HD textures, new illustrations and sketches, exclusive content or even the possibility of reconfiguring the keys. 11 original Japanese versions will even be included as an extra.
Good morning all ! It is with great pleasure that we can finally announce the arrival of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection! From the moment we started releasing collections of classics, the response from our fans was unanimous: “Bring out the Turtles!” “. With help from Nickelodeon and Digital Eclipse, we’ve curated one of the most comprehensive retro game collections to date.
It was obvious to us from the beginning of the project that The Cowabunga Collection should contain all the western versions of the 8-bit and 16-bit games, their Japanese versions and, of course, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade games. In total, no less than 13 arcade and console games, available in their regional versions, will be released on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 in 2022.
Digital Eclipse was a no-brainer for us. True video game historians, its seasoned developers have brought back to life some of the greatest classics of the medium. Beyond their technical expertise, the Digital Eclipse teams cultivate a real attachment to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. Together, we’ve added modern features for better gaming comfort and prepared a whole bunch of bonuses that fans will appreciate. In addition to the save and rewind options, we prepare bespoke game guides with the aesthetics of specialist magazines from the 80s and 90s to help players overcome these famously difficult passages. …I know you know what I’m talking about!
Our partners at Nickelodeon provided us with valuable footage from the original series and the comics, and helped us bridge the gap between different media. Bringing our favorite scale knights to the surface immediately plunged us back into our memories: rescuing April from a burning building with our three comrades, the aquatic level where we have to avoid obstacles to prevent the explosion of the dam or the discovery of secret areas where Casey Jones confronted Raphael.
Keep your change! With the arcade games included in the collection (Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles and Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles: Turtles in Time), invite up to three friends and relive the arcade experience at home or online. The 8-bit games TMHT II: The Arcade Game, TMNT III: The Manhattan Project, and 16-bit TMHT IV: Turtles in Time as well as TMHT: The Hyperstone Heist will also offer the classic sensations of local multiplayer games.
To complete the collection, we have also included titles released on handheld consoles. Shunned by some, these three portable adventures nevertheless feature some of the best moments in the history of side-scrolling gaming across all platforms. TMHT III: Radical Rescue (1993) uses a style of gameplay that would be popularized a few years later by Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (1997). The player embodies Michelangelo in his quest to find his brothers. Each turtle saved in this way brings new skills and unlocks new areas to explore. A title particularly ahead of its time.
Finally, all three one-on-one fighting games: TMHT: Tournament Fighters. We’ve all dreamed of pitting our favorite characters against each other, and these games did just that. Both 16-bit games have become true classics and many players know all the tricks at their fingertips. We knew we had to include the latest 8-bit game from Konami as well. Considered one of the best fighting games on the console and neglected for far too long, we longed to finally give it the attention it deserves.
After 30 long years of waiting for the collection that would finally bring all these masterpieces together, we hope that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection does not disappoint.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection is currently announced for 2022 on PS4 and PS5.
