oh snaps, looks fairly legit.

but from what i remember the 1st one wasn't that good, the blend of top down and sidescrolling.

anyone with a bit better memory able to discern if this is the 1st one?



Edit: And if that doesnt light your fancy.... how about something in the immediate future.

When there are holes that appear on the release calendar it's often because the games in question failed certification. Sometimes even the "back-up" games for a given week of release on Xbox Live Wednesdays fail certification: "[This week] We really did have multiple titles slip at the same time. That is not our plan going forward," Greenberg assured. "We are excited to bring Alien Hominid out next week; we are excited to make up for lost time."

edit again: Arg, desired to switch this to a general purpose XBLarcade thread, but under the new system we cant change the titles ourselves...

Spectral Swallow

I'm not feeling the border myself.

Edit: Also the first one was NES only, but the first one in the aracade is the above pictured(it was also ported to the NES with a bunch of graphic cutbacks(obviously))

StriderEdge

If its real I'll most likely get it. As for the game itself that is the first arcade game. The sidescrolling top down one sounds like the NES title... the arcade game became TMNT2: The Arcade Game on the NES.

Zephos

i see, so if these are real they are the arcade game.

i vaguely remember playing that a few times.


Edit: oh, if it was the 2nd one on the nes, then AWESOME..

Quintile

Yeah, the arcade game was TMNT2: The Arcade Game on NES. I played that game waaay too much, and I don't think I ever beat it. It was really hard, and I never got discouraged... if I played it today I'd probably turn it off in frustration after the first game over.

It was a great game though, I actually played it a bit a month or two ago.

HadjiQuest

I never played Turtles in Time, but I played TMNT3: The Manhattan Project on Genesis back in the day, and this game (TMNT Arcade) as an unlock on one of the recent Konami shitfests.

Zeon

The actual real arcade game was fucking awesome.

So was the simpsons arcade game that was in the same vein. Id love to see that on either XBLA or the PS3 equivalent.

Dublo7

Man, this game is great.
That border hurts mein eyes.

edit - Bleh, I don't really care about Alien Hominid. I just want Worms and SOTN.

cj iwakura

Konami and Ubisoft united? There's something you don't see every day... I guess they really do have the TMNT rights now.

Still, sweet. XBLA's just racking up the cool points. And I always liked the arcade version more. I remember being sorely disappointed at not having the same experience when I bought the NES one.

They're almost two completely different games.

The NES is still good, sure, but the arcade version's got the hardcore.

maximumzero

Why the hell don't they just use the border that's on the arcade cabinet?

This would make me buy a 360.

Fireflash

But... but... Why TMNT 2 when they could've chosen Turtles in time instead? It was a much better game. Everybody loves Turtles in Time!

The Arcade version of Turtles in Time is shit - pure, absolute shit. The SNES version is superior in nearly every way, but I'm not sure that Konami would be able to put a souped-up SNES version on XBLA due to licensing arrangements.

LBD_Nytetrayn

I prefered the arcade version of TiT, myself, though the SNES had some neat stuff.

4-player, more animations/poses, more voices, actual stages for the boards that weren't just bonus stages...

On the other hand, polish up the SNES version with the above stuff and whatever else, and it'd be perfect.

Throw X-Men on that list, while we're at it.

YES.

Jeez, that X-men arcade game was so god damned good.

Turtles in Time was just too easy compared to the original arcade game.

The first one was an adventure game. Very difficult. The first one was awesome. Fuck anyone who tells you different, especially the Angry Nintendo Nerd.

I still have nightmares about the first game. I never was able to go beyond the area after the underwater bombs section. Still was a cool game tho.

ShimSham

I'm loving this idea. This was one of my favorite games on the NES.

Slagmire

This forces me to play the Alien vs. Predator card again. X-Men and Turtles 1... you bloody savages.

cj iwakura

That AvP game was so awesome... I'd forgotten all about that before now.

Linn rocked.

Zephos

:shock: that was an arcade game!?

I think my version was broken because i could NEVER get passed the third level, the one where you drive the van around the city to find some guy. I must have played that game 1000 times, literally, because i loved it. I would bust my ass to beat the first few levels, even that annoying as shit swimming level where you diffuse the bombs, only to get to level 3 where i would just drive the van around for like 5 hours before i got bored and turned it off. I could never, ever find the guy i needed to find.

Oh yes, and it was a grand one - back in the days when Capcom was churning out hit after hit in the arcades, albeit it beat 'em ups or fighting games. Dungeons and Dragons (both of them), Captain Commando, The Punisher, Knights of the Round, Magic Sword are some of the others that were great around then.

All of them I wish were on the 360 arcade; that might make the system a buyer for me then.

Zephos

yeah those predator sprites are AMAZING.

In the video, the ANN has a long rant about this one jump over a very short space with very low clearance that he deems impossibly counter-intuitive. The solution is simply to walk over it, and your turtle will hop over the small gap.

Trouble is, earlier in the gameplay videos, a turtle hops a similar jump the exact same way. After seeing that, I thought, "why doesn't he try just walking over it?" Even had I not seen previous gameplay, it's not like a solution one wouldn't at least try in desperation.

And, yes, that underwater bombs section is the truly murderous part of the game.

Bbaj

Seriously, if they bring TMNT to XBLA I will be very, very happy.

The first time I completed that section as a child was a most joyous occasion, however.

I'm pretty sure 90% of us did the same thing, I remember my friend and I trying to jump that for literally an hour. We never did get past it. But yeah most people don't know about the hopping thing the turtles do for the one stone gaps.

Caveman Paws

I loved the NES origional game. I must have spent months on it because it was ridiculously hard (I think I started a subscription to the NES magazine just because of TMNT and FF). I don't remember a whole lot about the game (except being in the sewers and killing insane amounts of those little mouser bots) but I did make it to Shredder a few times but never beat him.

To this day I could still map out the entire underwater area including bombs and traps from memory. I got to the point where I could do it without taking any damage.

I don't know, man. I picked it up just by watching the turtle move.

BiggNife

Oh man, AvP was amazing. Boo to licensing issues.

But yeah, this is good news. The only thing is that if they bring over TiT, even though the arcade version was fun and supported 4P, the SNES version had some fun extra levels (I know at least Technodrome wasnt in arcade). Oh well.

TMNT Confirmed!

Only 400 Microsoft points and to be released in March? Wow, that's awfully tempting.

maximumzero

Holy Fuck. TMNT AND Every Extend Extra Extreme.

Goddamn, Microsoft, you're making me want a 360 for Live Arcade alone.

Every Extend Extra is pretty much my most-played PSP game.

Zephos

400 points makes it a no brainer for me.

the arcade is getting quite a bit of my money lately.


Edit: DIBS ON RAPH.

Mugenmidget

Make sure that the first person who buys this relays their aural experience. If the audio is completely in-tact and none of the sprites are messed with (a la Battle Nexus) then I'll have to start a 360 fund.

Lunker

Online co-op of the arcade version of TMNT is a killer app, as far as I'm concerned.

At this stage I would almost buy a 360 solely for Live Arcade titles.

EDIT: Heh, maximumzero and I are brothers from another mother.

If this comes out untainted, I'll have to forget about my "price drop" hopes and start splurging.

I call Raph, bitches.
Oh man I'm excited.
