Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time - ARCADE vs SUPER NINTENDO 

Close. It’s still missing other SFX and tons of animation frames. Something about the SNES sound is better imo, it’s got more punch to it

This is so much true. And there is more: the original game has the absolutelly same issues. And its curious how this changes the dynamic and the overall feeling of the game!

You can run in the arcade version by holding the direction you are walking.

Yea in Arcade you don't feel like you are really hitting something. Man but right now you should run and get the new turtles released by dotemu it's a must have!

@@TheDormonid glad I’m not the only one that thought this! I’ve been watching rave reviews on the new one. I may just have to pick it up!

I been saying that but people think it's better which it isn't the animation is so bad hyperstone heist has a way better animation then time

@@damin9913 Hyperstone Heist reuses the SNES assets so the animations the same and it’s missing the animation which the turtles throw the foot at the screen

Completely agree with all of this. I wish that we could get a proper remaster of this game that gives us an arcade version of the Technodrome stage, allows us to fight all the bosses (even if they have to just throw a boss gauntlet in somewhere), and mode 7 presentation on Neon Night Riders… and makes the music optional

@@bradenhogan2 Or, conversely, a Super NES version with 4-player support, more voice clips, and additional frames of animation. Which would be effectively the same thing.

@@davezanko9051 I’ve thought about this before. I think it would be cool to have a “definitive” version of the game that uses Arcade graphics, adds the Technodrome (& beefs up the graphics to match), includes both “Cement Man” and Slash (one of them presumably as an unlockable/hidden boss), etc. I would be torn about whether to make the gameplay be based on the Arcade or SNES version. I believe the SNES controls are tighter, but I’m pretty sure the Arcade version has more moves/animations. I would lean towards the Arcade version myself. Music could easily be optional. Basically, just the Arcade version with the SNES exclusive stuff added to it

@@bradenhogan2 I think it comes down to six-of-on territory. But the SNES gameplay is superior because the special attacks and grappling moves are intentional, making for a more tactical gameplay experience. It's got a bit more depth. Timing is better, too. It's just more intentional.

Biggest sins of the arcade were the bosses:. Cement Man (who the heck was that?) and no Bebop and Rocksteady. That led to approved changes

@@NightmareJames “Cement Man” was based on a character called Blob Monster that only showed up for one episode of the cartoon, created by Shredder. I think it’s apparent that Konami had the most access to the first 2 seasons of the show when making the first 2 Arcade games. It was a character in the show, but Slash was a much more iconic pick. Bebop and Rocksteady were in TMNT NES, The Arcade Game, and The Manhattan Project - that’s 7 Bebop and/or Rocksteady boss fights, if you count ‘em out. It’s not like you can complain that Konami didn’t give Bebop and Rocksteady their due. If anything, the abundance of then prevented us from getting characters we never got in the beat ‘em ups. This was the first time Tokka and Rahzar were in a TMNT game.

@@bradenhogan2 They had access to Season 3 for the arcade as well, because Metalhead and Leatherhead were in there. They could've made a better choice I think.

Far as I know the SNES isn't missing any abilities and they improved the combat timing making it feel much less vague and random. SNES also allows you to choose which throw you want to do (and more reliably throw when you want) and added the ability to run on command. Animation and number of voices samples aside, SNES version is better. imo.

@@DenkyManner As I admitted, the SNES controls are much tighter. The Arcade has at least one move the SNES version doesn’t as far as I’m aware. The Arcade has a unique version of the shoulder bash that can only be performed by pressing both jump and attack at the instant you turn around. It’s the most powerful move in that version of the game because I think it does the same amount of damage as a special but it doesn’t require as much setup to execute, and it isn’t as slow as the special move. This makes that particular move vital to no death runs/speedruns of that game, even though it is difficult to execute because of the timing. Also, the SNES version drains your life bar for using the special moves, so those are basically worthless except to finish off bosses. The SNES does give you the option to have more control over your dash, but it’s counter-intuitive compared to how dashing worked in Hyperstone Heist (thankfully Cowabunga Collection fixes this). It almost feels like the game TIT SNES was designed around the auto-run, which makes sense as that was the Arcade version and it’s the default control scheme

What makes you think that?! Arcade ports to 16 bit consoles were never 1:1 due to limitations and always made sacrifices and would add in a few things to make up for the differences
