It's worth playing for the soundtrack alone. Miki Higashino made some serious jams with the Genesis' sound.

Yeah the music is great. Shame that it's so cheap, lol. I hope to beat the game with April or Leo.
i jinxed itsomeone bought it...
Hopefully that wasn't a collector, so you can still wish the sheer toughness of the game will lead that person to bring it back, and trade it in with some random Altered Beast.

I've only played the NES version of TMNTTF. It's a real novelty. One of the few officially released fighting games on NES that I can think of.
Never played that one, seems cool to have a fighting game on NES. Shame it's so expensive though. The SNES one is probably the best one overall, and the Genesis one is just too hard even on the default setting, yet you need to beat it on the hardest setting to get the best ending!

I still haven't played it yet, I seriously need to remind myself to play it.

Ship to Shore is releasing Rocket Knight Adventures in 2017 as well. I hope Bloodlines and Hard Corps follow suit.
Great time for Genesis VGM fans. I'm just a little perplexed why no one has picked up Revenge of Shinobi yet.

Hmmm... Fist of the North Star... let's see if the uncensored blood, violence, and exploding body parts livens this game up from the US version (which I liked) called Last Battle.
how much was that? i always wanted a translation of the JYP version. AARZAK is not that catchy
My bet: Data Discs made it sound like as of a month or two ago, there'd be two or three releases before the end of the year, and they could be related. So I think we'll see SoR3 *and* RoS get announced at the same time.
I'd probably skip SoR3 as I have no nostalgia for it (or any SoR game, never played it back in the day) but RoS was totally my jam.
Really shouldnt miss SoR 2.
No person should ever miss SoR2, it's insane to miss out on one of the best games on the system!

Pretty overrated. The story sucks, and there are no cutscenes to reward you for your work.

especially w/ green and blue power combined.
Is that the homing laser? If so, lol. That combination is legit broken. Feels so good to use though!

was about to post it myself but waited for it =P now it's stuck in my head lol
that and spamming axel's "grand uppercut" sor2, so much power =)
This gives me more reasons to play it!!!
I was just joking though, it is actually pretty easy for a game of its nature.
I still can't wait to play it!=p
Its a great game, hope you like it!
Oh I know. I just never played it "back in the day". Making up for it now!

Do it!
I was always disappointed that the SNES version got the weaker roster.
In fact TMNT: TF might be the only fighting game to have three versions that are radically(haha) different from each other.

April's stage theme is one of my favorite Konami Genesis track. Some vastly under appreciated music in that
Aside from the roster and the music, is MD Tournament Fighter actually solid, as a fighting game? I remember it was bashed on Italian magazines, back in the days, because a) it didn't look as lush as the Super Famicom version and b) apparently it wasn't that hot as a game either. But yeah, your recent posts made me curious, I checked some YT videos and... Yeah, doesn't seem to play that bad at all?
Havent gotten into it as much as I wanted unfortunately.

It maps to WASD+Mouse pretty well, though there are some remaining issues with the control scheme assuming everyone's playing it tank-style (eg: it assumes you're using forward/backward/turn left/right keys for the opening skydives and level-closing tunnel segments, and WASD uses strafe left/right instead of turn left/right, so you have to move a hand over to the turning keys in order to move horizontally there; also assumes similar for sniping, so trying to move forward/backward will instead adjust your aim, because as it turns out you can't move while sniping).
But beyond those issues, yeah, it's great. dgVoodoo2 even lets me run it at a higher resolution.
Yeah the music is great!
Yeah you should try it, it's a hard game though.
It's really good!

This is my first time playing Earthworm Jim since renting it back in the day. I am really, really bad. It does have level passwords so I'll play through it one way or another.
