Xbox Live Arcade is one of my favorite features. I've got Almost 25 arcade games, and TNMT will be another one added this Wednesday. Sure, not every game will please everyone, but I have seen a lot of quality titles come out in 07. This one will be great for sure :D.

RPG arcade games? eh? surely 150MB isn't big enough to fit a half decent RPG? although it'd be awesome if they did have RPG games...

anyway, back on topic... this is one game i'll definately get myself. heck, its only 400 points.

ninja turtkes?

how old are you guys????

23 and I've made sure I left 400 points on my account to buy this one. Nothing wrong with finding joy in something from one's childhood. Many of us grew up with shows like the Turtles, Ghostbusters, and Transformers.

Ah, you're going through that age. You'll find that as you get older, it's ok to not not follow all the cool kids and enjoy whatever you want to.

You're still in your childhood. Most of us like this game because this is what we grew up playing. Run along and troll somewhere else.

See being 28, I remember going to the Arcade and playing the ever loving h311 outta this game kiddo. Wait till you're my age and Metal Gear Solid 4 is considered Retro, then you'll totally understand. ;)

32 years old. I grew up with the Turtles. I still own the first editions of all of the original comic books that were published by Mirage Studios in the 80's, way before the stupid cartoon and bad movies ruined them. Actually, I bought my first Turtles comic in 1985 or so, which if I am doing my math right is 7 years before you were even born.

So it is a matter of respecting the games we grew up with. I started playing video games in 1979 with the Pong system, and never looked back. One day you will look back on the games today and in the past few years and they will be the "old school."

Yeah I think I'm missing a few of the comic books, but I have most of 'em too. I still have my old Pong system too, it just reminds me of how far we've come in the games industry over the years and makes me proud to know that I'm now a part of that. :D

Two of my biggest regrets in life. Not keeping my old toys (even though looking back they would have not been in their packaging but still would be nice to have them), and Not keeping my old video game systems. Kick ass you still have the Pong system. (Y)

I'm definitely buying this. It's been a while since I've bought an Arcade game. I spent plenty of quarters on this game at the arcade, and I'm glad it's not the NES version.

I still wish these companies would simply add a filter so the games wouldn't look so rough in HD. At least it's a 4:3 game (if I remember correctly).

Man, am I glad I never went through that stage :wacko:

Kid, you're missing out.

I'm really hoping for the X Men Arcade game now. Nightcrawler FTW!

Also, there was an old Dungeons and Dragons-esque game that I used to play all the freakin' time when I was a kid... forget the name of it, but I remember you could use these spells to turn bad guys into pigs or frogs. There was a boss who was a blob of eyeballs or something, IIRC. Anyway, it was fun as all hell. Fingers definitely crossed for that (can anyone help me with the name?).
