Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection Review

June 01,2024

A loving collection of TMNT games, but online play left me shell shocked..
The entire TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection has clearly been crafted by a team that loves the TMNT – not just the games, but the shows and comics as well. It’s not only full of some of the best Ninja Turtle games ever made (and also the other ones), but the team at Digital Eclipse has gone above and beyond by adding a treasure trove of unique Ninja Turtles art & other creations. They’re also chock full of options, cheat codes, new features, and behind-the-scenes images. It’s truly unfortunate that the online component makes it so hard to find a match, and when you do get into a game it’s often woefully laggy. The input delay could also be improved. That said, this is still the most complete TMNT game collection available. If you’re feeling nostalgic for this era of Turtles gaming and don’t feel like spending nearly $550 on to get the originals – plus all the time and effort of getting a retro gaming setup up and running – this is one shell of a collection.
