Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is a Masterpiece 

I'm 35 years old and I've been playing Teenage mutant ninja turtles since the 90s and I have to say that I'm glad I get to relive my childhood again with this amazing TMNT game.

I know a game is good when my dad calls me and asks to "squad up"

The fact they got the original voice actors for the turtles from the 1987 cartoon to reprise their roles for the game is a huge highlight of this game for me. 😊

I'm 40 an OG Turtles fan. This looks good and I'm buying the physical copy ASAP.

I love this game, the devs and publishers did everything that was needed for this game to be incredible and then some. As a long time TMNT fan, I can't recommend this game enough.

TMNT 2012 was the main reason why I became a fan of Ninja Turtles. Seriously, that was an awesome introduction to the series.

And no need to be a "live service" Just came out, was done, it was great, that's it.

If this game actually gets DLC, I really wanna see Newtralizer in some way. Either a cameo, a boss or maybe even a playable character. He may not be from the 80's iterration, but a man can dream.

I've easily sunk so many hours into this game. I love that people can join you at anytime, leave anytime, or you can just drop in someone else's playthrough. Really brings back the old arcade days. And when you get 6 people playing, it's absolute carnage in the best way possible.

Played last night. I grew up with these guys and all the previous video games. The second the gameplay started I felt like the guy in the chair on the maxell cassette tapes getting blown away by nostalgia! If you've grown up with these mentioned games in the past, it's those x10. Visuals, sfx, motions, actions, story, etc. Fun and quick play. Not overdone!

I wonder if Mondo Gecko is in the game, as an NPC. If not, maybe they can use him as a potential playable character.

The sad part for me is Im still waiting for my copy to arrive lol. But for reals I love the 80s turtles and even the 2003 turtles is really good to watch if you haven't watched it yet please do! This game deserves a LOT of attention this year and I also can't wait for the cowabunga collection as well!

The fact they got the original voice actors from the show makes me feel like im 8 years old again! OG Turtle 🐢 power for life! And now all 4 voice actors are coming to Emerald City ComicCon!

ChiGuy you HAVE to watch the 2003 series if you haven’t already Season 1-5 is a masterpiece

ChiGuy: I wish they would add, like, Usagi Yojimbo… Shenron: YOUR WISH IS GRANTED.

You sum up the game really well. Being a turtle fan from the 1990s, I’m now introducing it to my 4 year old son. He loves the game. It’s bringing the game and franchise to a new audience. Surely there’ll be more of this in the future.

Game of the year for me. Hands down. I hope they make a new Xmen, Avengers, Simpsons, Ghostbusters and something with the DC universe. Just inject it all into my veins.

The game looks fun and pretty, I might have to try this TMNT brawler at one point.

Imagine if they made a sequel to this game based on 'The Last Ronin'. It would be lit.

I'm only a casual Turtles fan, but I had to buy this day 1!

There’s a cute detail at 8:20 showing a foot clan soldier trying to fit in and look busy…but totally failing 😉

Its crazy good, easy drop in drop out co-op (sadly atm no crossplay). No bugs at launch (i havent found any). Each character plays so differently with a bit of hidden depth for deeper combos. It just gives that grand nostalgia playing the original tmnt arcade games as a kid burning away your allowance putting one more coin in for another round. High quality game across the board, Tribute Games did a phemomonal job 10/10 🌟

Yeah playing with 6 people at does get chaotic but it's fun though sometimes I do lose track of my guy all but it's pretty fun

I love the heck out of this game. I will get the DLC if they add it.

11:24 aged perfectly

I started watching Turtles from the 2003 version. Made me love Shredder as a villan and I also liked the relation Splinter had with him. Been excited for this game to come out. Easy 9/10. It's so fun, just my only complaint; it doesn't have quite the depth of SoR4

I love how they included some fun Easter eggs from other Tmnt media, like Tokka and Rahzar from the second movie and even Super Shredder

The combat is surprisingly fun and there is a feeling of feedback that makes you want to keep pounding on bad guys.

And here we are August 2023 and usagi is being added in DLC. way to call it!

I wouldn’t say a masterpiece but a fun game to play with.

Love the way you presented this video. Have my own tiny channel but having a hard time speaking normally....your commentary is so damn natural. Not sure if that was part of it but when you realized that the 2012 ones was 10 years ago, again felt so conversational. Well done.

Yes! Yes to more games like this. A side scroller shoot em up like Sunset Riders but set in "The Real Ghostbusters" cartoon world is my dream game. Also Usagi is my #1 DLC pick as well.

I Totally Agree About The Upgraded Updated Arcade Beat Em Up For The Other Classics🎉

You know a game is good when ChiGuy is being positive

Thank you so much to the creators of this games it brings back so much memory, nostalgia, I was so excited for this game to come out and it turned out even better than I thought the controls to the game could've been more loose but it is retro game control, I also love how they made this game so long for a beat em up game, and put like all the vilians I can think of in one game 1st time I ever saw that in ant turtles game, and great stage and boss music 🎶 even bosses that were super rare.

Fantastic game

Well said bro..those OG arcade days @ the Brickyard. We need the rest of those beatemups remade.

I might get this game for my Switch to play with my cousins. It looks very fun as a couch co-op game.

I trusted your content as soon as I heard the “Wanted” music from SNES sunset riders as your intro music. That OST is legendary!

Seriously this is a reminder that beatem up should never left the original format and reminds it's alive there is still a market for it. Hope it's successful and a trend follow

Would be cool get more characters as DLC. Maybe Metalhead as playable

The pure black foot soldiers were the most annoying ones out of the batch, next to the white sword armed ones.

I think I beat the game about 4 times now. Its good the gaming community loves the game so much. Its really a breath of fresh air.

Chiguy, what is your opinion on the 2003 turtle series?

You, sir, are exactly right about X-Men and The Simpsons. As you were saying X-Men, I was like, The Simpsons. We are 100% on the same page.

So 11-10 then. They actually added Usagi Jimbo!!!!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is one shell of a game!

They just added Usagi, it's officially an 11/10 game now!

Unlike others (Mayo being one not so good example) Chi seems to wear his heart on his sleeve. He does exactly what we want to hear in a review. Tells us what his exactly what his opinions of the game are. What he saw, what he heard and what he experienced. He even prefaced this by saying "I am a fanboi so that is the context of the review" Saying "this game is amazing" is really a worthless throwaway statement. Masterpiece etc etc too. I know, it's in the title but that's fine. What Chi does is says "I like this game because this and that reason". Great review and I can not recommend it highly enough.

5:18 Raph. you gonna revive him and then steal that pizza you don't even need? Donnie pauses like "WTF?"

Cool game. Now, in general, it's like a renaissance of beat 'em up. At a recent steam festival, I played the demo of another potentially good game - Arnold Bounty Hunter. It looks more like the first Battletoads - there are not only fights, but also various adventures with platforming, hydrocycles. It also looks interesting.

Well you comment about Ysagi sure aged very well! L.O.L.!

Would love them to do a similar thing with golden axe, alien storm, xmen which you mentioned!

Not gonna lie, I'd pay top dollar for a new Punisher beat-em-up. Shredder's Revenge is my best spent money since Streets of Rage 4, I absolutely love it.

Just bought this game today. And let me tell you I've been having a blast! My sister is not particularly skilled at Gaming and still, she managed to get the hang of it quite rapidly, of course i play with her on the Chill Difficulty because i want her to have a fun time and oh boy if this game delivers. So yeah, i may not have my old friends around anymore, but my sister is definitely my favorite player 2 for these kind of games. This game is definitely a no brainer, the only other game that managed to get me this pumped was Dead Cells, and it's been quite a while since then.

I feel like the thing that is missing is the PVP they had in games like Turtles in Time. It was always great to not only had the beat em up, but to see the mode where you can just fight your friend in a short 4 player fighting game.

Masterpiece is a great word for this game. Worth every penny.

2012 might be my favorite show out of them its a great mix of the 80s comedy with the edge if the 2007

Pure Masterpiece, 146% true!! But really short, extremely short! We need more of this! Waiting for DLCs!

41 yr old tmnt fan here. This is my goty. A last ronin skin for all of the characters would be cool. Adding usagi yojimbo, newtralizer, fugitoid and others would be sick added characters. Hope the game sells well to do some sorta dlc content.

The amount of work put into this game it has life and soul its fucking incredible

He's right. Could be a start of something. And as soon I started watch I was thinking dlc(s), that will give this game a long life. Especially if they do one with cane the brain.

Raphael my dude 💪

Omg! You think the 2012 TMNT turtles is old, the 2003 series is gonna be 20 years old next year! I was in high school when that series was released. I was also born the year when the original TV series started. I was born a TMNT fan and I will die a TMNT fan!

x-men, avengers, simpsons, golden axe, bad dudes, double dragon, contra, etc. If this developer would make any of these games and nail the art style and controls like this game, i would buy them all for 25 bucks.

10:50 *shots fired* 😂

Let me put it this way: If this game game out as a AAA $60 title I wouldn't even flinch and buy it.

I played through it 7 time plus to get all 7 characters to level 10. It hit everything right. I find myself trying to do the special moves from tmnt 2 and 3. It differently a love letter to the fans. Looking forward to the collection bundle and be able to play the og TMNT Arcade not the nes TMNT 2. You save on quarters now. I still love the nes version. One of my favorite games.

I'm also hyped about this game

I am distraught that this game is so good.

I too took personal note of April thickness

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are so influential for gaming they put them in Minecraft.

This game is the bomb!

Great game but very short. Wish the devs would add future content like map expansions and more characters. Played this with my 5yr old son and we went through it quick. He was gutted when we killed super Shredder and it was over.

April has cake for days...

Game was so good that I even thought I had it on gamepass bought a limited edition version of it for switch

11:10 1 year later. Usagi Yojimbo is being added in DLC...

I kinda did the same thing i played as April ENTIRE game on mobile and i saw differences in few boss fights that have some extra attacks: Dirtbag can hit you whit his shovel while he is underground (Also Groundchuck can accidentaly deal damage to Dirtbag). Super Shredder can close himself in a ball and spawn shadow clones and they shoot fireballs and you have to quickly remove them cuz they respawn. Why did i said about this? Because in videos of "All Bosses & Ending" i didnt saw those type of attacks so thats why i said about these two.

You forgot the 2003 Turtles they are one of if not the best versions of the Turtles

Possibly can be game of the year

Classic line.i hate to see her go but I love to watch her leave lol.

you can see in to the future bro as far as that ddlc goes.

*_Best retro game ever made imo!_*

I agree, it's incredibly good

Some people will never find fight N rage...and to those people we point and laugh like Nelson.....ha ha !

Gotta agree with you on all fronts! This is a great throwback and also evolution of the genre. Still, I feel it's not a 10/10 thought, but probably a 9/10 for me. Not because lenght or any of that, it's because I have been absolutely spoiled by Streets of Rage IV: I feel that game achieves an amazing level of depth with its mechanics where TMNT:SR doesn't. My main issues are the taunt spam for super attacks, or how underused is the combo system in TMNT while in SoR IV helps a lot with replayability. Trying to master all stages with S ranks in all difficulties takes time, but that was great fun for me. Unlocking new stuff with each run helps a lot too. But I don't think it was the developer's intent to make the game that deep. They wanted to keep it simple, so you can invite all your friends to play and only need to learn a few basic buttons and attacks. That way everyone can have a good time. Not saying TMNT:SR doesn't have any depth: (the different character moves alone take time to master) but it's not required at all to finish the game. It embraces multiplayer chaos and that's fucking great. Anyway, sorry for the long rant. Great video! So happy to see Turtles fans and Beat 'em up fans enjoying this game

This is easily the game of the year 💯💯💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

So good

I wish they could have included the original cartoon theme and not a remake version of it as the original one still sounds better after all this time.

I got it and im going to gift it to a friend lol

I love this damn game🙌🏻

Okay you're actually talkin positive about this game I'm surprised

I missed positive videos from you 😄😄

I loved it. Born in the 80s so yeah. I just got it and I'm playing it with my kids. It definitely could use more characters and levels. So I disagree, it needs some DLC and I'd say it would be dumb if they didn't because it did feel a bit short and I would enjoy more characters. I still enjoy the core game though. I'm definitely going go through more play-throughs and level up all the characters. I definitely agree that other old games could take advantage of this similar treatment: X-men and Simpsons. I also played Streets of Rage 4, which was good too.

Come on, ChiGuy. You know you want to throw shade at the Battletoads reboot in this video...

Real pumped about this…..they need to do Double Dragon next! That would be awesome!

DLC = Usagi Yojimbo and a few extra more stages =)

I play on Steam.

Honestly i've never had any interest in the TMNT IP both while growing up and even now, but i'd absolutely buy this game regardless bc it sounds great

I had some what I'd say is genuine criticism playing solo, that the story mode didn't really add much and you can't switch difficulties in story mode on the fly, and that maybe one playthrough was enough to have seen all the spectacle yet there's one trophy that requires a full game worth of playtime per character. But to keep it interesting yet less efficient, I joined multiplayer online games, where you can be thrown into any difficulty, enemies scale up per number of players, the players themselves change up how each screen goes, and there's hi-fives and revives to give. Basically any criticism solo goes away by dropping into online, and you will discover new techniques by playing more and feel good about it" The only indepth criticism I've seen is on combat and lack of invulnerability frames, which I can understand, but that would make it a different game. As it is it maintains at least some of the vulnerability of the arcade games where positioning yourself is key to handling the groups arriving. Smaller criticisms from more positive reviews were the same as mine and the only thing that really needs fixing is some issues with online bugs that sometimes force a game quit or full reboot.
