TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 🍕 SNES vs Genesis Intro

It’s 1992, and Konami is rocking the arcades with TMNT IV: Turtles in Time. It becomes the best selling arcade game of the time. So of course, they decide to port it over to SNES and Genesis. But what’s this? The Genesis can’t seem to exactly handle the entirety of Turtles in Time, so instead we got a somewhat different game, The Hyperstone Heist. But is Genesis game really as half-assed a port as most people say it is, or should it get some real recognition alongside Turtles in Time? Let’s take a deeper look into both games!

For this #shorts we do a side-by-side comparison of both versions opening scene to contrast the graphic and sound differences. #snes #genesis #megadrive #tmnt #teenagemutantninjaturtles #turtlesintime #bitsandbeats #60fps

I use to be like hyperstone hyest, but the retro gods smiled, gave me the cowabunga collection, then im like why not both

[jacobsilguero]

I played both back in the day and they were both impressive at the time. But I was genesis kid, so hyperstone heist was my favorite at the time

[ShiningDestinyKai]

Interesting how Hyperstone Heists intro sprites take a lot more inspiration from the comics vs Turtles in Time going for the cartoons aesthetic

[Ryuujin]

There was no reason why the Genesis couldn’t replicate the SNES intro. If you really look at it Konami did a half-assed job bringing the TMNT over to the Genesis, it’s even made more obvious with Tournament Fighters. They took no care unlike Contra Hard Corps which was its own thing completely different from Contra 3, better in some aspects too.

Apparently in the collection they fixed donnie's eye in the SNES intro

I've played both when I was young. The SNES version seemed to be a longer game, but the Genesis version seemed to have smoother animations.

My only real gripe with HH is that you fight Rocksteady, but Bebop is nowhere to be found.

[OtakuDeju]

Anyone notice how the SNES version says Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles instead of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Due to censorship in the UK that is the title of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the cartoon show. In the UK it was called Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles.

The Genesis will ALWAYS be my favorite console! It held it's own against the SNES!

[RetroBigCat]

I'm just happy that I can get to play both of those games once again!

[fleedledeedle]

Unfortunately didn't play Turtles in Time, but me and a friend played through Hyperstone Heist. Fun beat em' up, but it felt almost like Streets of Rage 2, just with a TMNT coat of paint. Hell it even had the iconic truck backing out of an alleyway hazard.

WHAT TIME IS IT KIDS?
IT'S SEIZURE TIME

[sixeleven]

the amount of orchestra hits in this game lol

[DaBattletoads]

It’s so obvious which one is which even without the tags just because of the style of the inteo

[UmbraBear]

I was always a Nintendo kid so Turtles in Time gets my pick

[jermainemorton]

I like both games I got both games with turtles and time will always be my number one draft pick

[MegaTaylor]

Love having the cowabunga collection on my switch so I can take these and the other turtles games with me anywhere

[SoundGuyDavo]

Anyone else rent both SNES and Sega versions from Blockbuster?
