TMNT: Tournament Fighter, a Kickass Review by Darkmoon

Well, I was right in assuming these games sucked. At least the NES one does. And I really gave it a shot too...
Our heroic scaled friends are chillin like a... well turtle, down in the sewers, when they get a rather unusual message from Shredder. Seems he wants to start an underground boxing club to strike out against the comsumer lifestyle that is the norm in this country, and he invites the turtles to join
They graciously accept, and we get TMNT: Tounament Fighter on the NES. Lacking the huge number of characters prevalent the other versions of this game, the NES one has to fight hard to keep any attention of the average player.
The graphics, for a NES game, are okay. The colors seem to lean towards browns and blues, which makes the game a little drab. Music is inconsequential and is at least not distracting.
But damn, the computer is a wench. I got my ass handed to me on easy by the second fight, and on normal, I can barely keep up. As Casey I wasn't even able to pull off a move before Raph was gnawing on my scalp. Irritating.
I'm honestly not even sure what it takes to unleash a move in the bloody game. I'm certain it probably involves a few directional presses, a tap on a button, and invoking the dark lord... Dunno. I never had enough candle handy when playing the game to invoke the dark lord. Shame, too.
And speaking of Raph, he's blue. BLUE! All the other toitles are normal toitle colors, but Raph is a shiney periwinkle. He looks like a tard. Although, I will say this much for him. Considering how damn hard the game in to get anything to happen, I was able to get Raph to gnaw on people's head a gratuitous amount of times.
If you're really good at Street Fighters, and wanna see how it'd done on the NES, go for it, but 'tween you and me, the average player should stick to something a little easier.
Score: 6.3
