Item Description

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters on the NES is a fascinating piece of early-nineties fighting game history, and a surprisingly ambitious one for the hardware it ran on. Konami released it in North America in February 1994, while the Turtles were still everywhere and in the wake of the Street Fighter II craze, and it was the final game Konami released for the NES in North America and Europe. What makes this version particularly interesting is that it was built specifically for the NES rather than ported from the SNES or Genesis games of the same name, so its roster, story and design are its own.

Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael square off in one-on-one combat with Shredder, Casey Jones and the towering Hothead, and it was the first TMNT game to show the turtles fighting without their signature weapons, relying entirely on hand-to-hand moves. In Story mode Splinter has been kidnapped again, and the turtles fight each other to prove who is fit to face Shredder. Vs CPU, Vs Player and a one-to-four-player Tournament bracket round out the modes, and a randomly appearing Ultra Ball lets a fighter unleash a powerful projectile attack.

For a system that was already showing its age, Konami pulled off something impressive. The moves are well animated, each fighter gets a handful of special moves and two dashes from just two buttons, and Hothead's large sprite is a real showpiece by NES standards. Each turtle brings his own feel to the fight, and the familiar faces from the Turtles universe give the whole game an authentic TMNT energy.

It stands entirely on its own as a different game, not a downgraded port, and it closes out Konami's NES run on an unusual note. Alongside TMNT II: The Arcade Game and TMNT III: The Manhattan Project, Tournament Fighters rounds out Konami's Turtles games on the NES, and it holds up better than you might expect for a fighting game of its era.
