In related news, the current sound director of DDR, Yasuhiro Taguchi, just left Konami. What I find interesting is that Konami used to have a game development school which fed into the company. Not sure when that closed down as they now have an year old eSports school that sucking up all the results. That would have been a big sign of them starting to back away since I assume they got a lot of employees that started out there. www.siliconera.com/bemani-composer-tag-left-konami-and-went-freelance/

Konami been good on retro releases. The TG16 Mini is excellent. The Castlevania and Contra collection worth getting. No idea what they are doing on the development side, I enjoyed Super Bomberman R, but I think continuing with legacy content is a good strategy for now. Now if Konami could give Nickelodeon the permission to re-release all those old TMNT games in a compilation too.

With the new TMNT beat-em-up coming out soon, now would be a perfect time!

Like, they could package together the three NES games, both the arcade and Super NES versions of Turtles in Time, the arcade version of TMNT II, HyperStone Heist. All those games. Maybe even throw in the GameBoy games too. Most, if not all these are going for high prices online. Make them affordable again.

Don't forget Tournament Fighters! The SNES one is a legitimately good fighting game and still is played today. The NES one is unique curiosity and the Genesis one is well...might as well have it for completeness sake.
Nickelodeon seems to have no problem milking the 1987 series. A TMNT collection seems like an easy slam dunk for all the rights holders.

I would buy those so fast. Konami did put couple out for that 1up Arcade machines. We just need the whole console and arcade set together.

The big problem seems to be getting the music rights for all the games.

The big problem seems to be getting the music rights for all the games. Maybe it would be ideal to have a new soundtrack for the games. It wouldn't make some fans happy, but if that's only way to get these games re-released, I'll take it.

I know some of them had different tracks when re-released on consoles. Turtles in Time remake had a new soundtrack. Some of the PS2/Gamecube/XBOX era TMNT games included ports of some of the old ones with altered soundtracks.

There's no need to reopen old wounds. Remake seemed like it was made by people who never played or saw the original. A lesson in how not to do a remake.

I think the biggest mistake they made about Turtles in Time Re-Shelled is that they based it around the Arcade version of the original, instead of the superior SNES version. Hence, there's some missing levels and bosses, and a weaker collision detection. Also, the SNES version is the one most people grew up with anyway, making it even more jarring.

Actually none of the arcades around me had Turtles in Time and so I was completely unaware there was an arcade game until much later. I still remember picking the game up as a kid. I don't know why but I got the Japanese version from a local import store. I'm glad about that now since it isn't the 50hz version and I find the box art far superior. Anyway I still have the copy and have pictured it below. It's actually the game from my collection I have had the longest since others have been sold and sometimes rebought. It's well used due to many playthroughs. ![](https://i.imgur.com/dcJCVyr.jpg?1) On another note the other thing that surprised me when seeing the European version is that the name was Turtles IV. I wasn't aware of Turtles III, due to the lack of release here and didn't lay eyes on the game until many years later. I still haven't played it and have no idea whether it's worth my time.

It’s pretty good for an arcadey TMNT brawler that didn’t have an arcade version.
