That seems like a poor design choice considering you can't re-collect the collectibles. Means every other character you want to level up is gonna take way longer.
Yeah it's a little dumb. You can always start a new game and keep your character progression if you wanna get the collectibles again though.
The one you are playing as. You need to start new games to reset everything. Its what I've been doing to grind out the max everyone achievement
My 4 year old trying to play on Xbox. The controller is a little big, but he's getting better and loves it.
I played three player docked with my kids today and it felt absolutely fine. In the video they even said it was only an issue when like five or six players were firing off super moves at the same time so it seems fine to me.
You can recollect them if you start the story from scratch, you pretty much level up a whole character each time you finish the story mode.
Finally got to do some multiplayer today with two of my kids and they had a blast. My daughter even told my wife "I loved playing this game with Dad" after I left for work.
Anyone has an issue with the options not saving after you shutdown and restart the game? It's weird too. My jump button saved, but the rest of my control changes don't save. It doesn't save my screen shaking or hold button of break loose also doesn't save after I shut down.
I freaked out with this on arcade. I set my Xbox to not have power saving, so I had no idea really how to shut this obelisk down to save my game
Why did no one tell me that April was secretly the best character in the game? I wrecked the Technodrome levels with her like it was nothing.
I played a 5 player lobby on Switch yesterday and it was totally fine. And I'm really sensitive about frame rate and frame pacing issues. It's why I'll never beat Bloodborne 🤷
That's adorable. I have a daughter on the way in August. I can't wait to play games with her.
I thought that Donatello was the worst. So far he's the only character that I've had multiple game overs with.
I never had a single game over with him and I played this game on Normal and Hard. He has the range game and an awesome super that sucks enemies into it which is handy for ones across the screen.
April has the best launcher by far, though I like Leo's aerial more than anyone else's. That buzzsaw move does so much damage to enemies.
I've posted it like three times! She's easily the best!
Instead of the super attacks we have, I wish Shredder's Revenge had Manhattan Project's version, where you always had access to a strong attack but at the cost of a health point.
On Gnarly you want every single extra life you can get in Arcade mode(which you normally earn up to 11 lives in it).
Eeesh yeah, it's gonna be a tall order solo but also I don't want to finish it on Gnarly in co-op as a first time. Practice time it is.
He is great to use in TMNT 89 Arcade and Arcade Turtles in Time.
Arcade or SNES?
He's fine in SNES version as I used him to 1CC it on Hard, but for Arcade...I don't like using him much at all. He's the 2nd worst Turtle to me for that version.
Finished arcade mode, solo normal difficulty. That's one easy 1CC. I had lives to spare... many lives. Hard mode will be an entirely different story. Not sure who I'll use to tackle it - its between Don, April and Mikey (all rock). April especially can build meter so easily (outside of cheating... I mean taunting) that I just love using her.
One thing Id definitely like tweaked - on stage 11, the game should totally give you some sort of prompt when the Triceritons charge at you from off screen. I took more damage than I should have thanks to that... You cant see it coming or react to them like that. On screen its fine, but off screen? Id have to basically learn the level back to front to avoid them (which to be fair, gimme a few more hours and I'll be there).
Arcade as a whole is definitely long (2+ hours for me) but I still loved every minute of it. While long, it basically has no bad stage, its all so fun. Its actually rare that the most I have to complain about is Rat King and off screen attacks. Usually there's a boss that I completely despise (Rat King is a mild annoyance)

Oof, he would be rough to 1CC Arcade version with.
I rate the Turtles in that version based on forward specials since you really need to rely on it way more than regular attacks and I would say Mikey's is the best followed by Donatello because both of theirs move them forward to hit more enemies in front and move away from enemies that try to hit you from behind. Leo and Raph sadly has their forward special not move them at all and that means they are vulnerable after using it because of recovery frames, not moving them means they hit less enemies in front and are open to getting hit from behind easier. But Raph is just the worst turtle in that version sadly because the range on his forward special is the worst of all the turtles.
Just beat the 3rd level with my friend and going to play more later. Loveeee the art style and music. My complaint so far: is X the only button to attack? I checked the move list and it looks like X is the only button to attack and B is to roll and A to jump. I'm getting bored mashing X and wish there was more attacks/combos. Am I missing something?
Man I just can't get a good "feel" with the combat on Gnarly, feel it's where I see a lot of flaws with boss design whether it's too much "downtime" before a good opening, or getting fucked because of that whole getting it by attack on a completely different "plane" that's been so prevalent in TMNT games.
Seriously. My favorite is the juggling, which I've tried with all Characters, but with April I can prevent enemies from ever touching the ground again haha.
I like Mike, his rising attack and dash attack are multi-hit moves as opposed to the one hit move of most of the other characters.
Have you read the moves list? One attack button but there's plenty to do with it including:
Charge attacks
Dodge attacks
Anti air attacks (attack and jump button together)
Dive and somersault attacks
And of course you have several super moves mixed into that. When you clear later levels, especially on harder difficulties, you'll be relying on mixing things up more and more, just mashing your normal combo wont really cut it.
Has anyone managed to complete any of the "don't get hit throughout the entire level" challenges? If so, how?
After using all the characters multiple times my favorites are:
1- Leonardo
2- April
3- Splinter
4- Raph(he's my favorite turtle but the range OOF, still really fun)
5- Casey
6- Donatello
7- Mikey
1- Leonardo
2- April
3- Splinter
4- Raph(he's my favorite turtle but the range OOF, still really fun)
5- Casey
6- Donatello
7- Mikey
Tried Mikey and I'm surprised how great he felt. He gets lots of air with his Manhattan Project special and he's got good bounce like April.
I did check the move list as my original post stated. I still saw 98% A attacks. The charge attack you just hold A bingo. The jump attacks you just jump and press A bingo. It's a good game but wish the combat was a little more deeper.
This game finally broke me and got me to buy Hori Split Pad Pros since I play in handheld so often. I like them, but just due to how large they are, it makes it hard to pack them up and carry with my Switch.
I think I'm even going to go the extra mile and dpad mod (replacement shell) my Joycon in the near future, but the Split Pad Pro is nice in the meantime.

I mean its a side-scrolling beat-em-up. This is exactly what these games were. And compared to the older turtles games this game is ridiculously deep. You can actually juggle combo in this game.
