You’re welcome — I remember having a load of fun writing this review and capturing all the Ultimate Attack special moves. I was blown away by them in January of 1994, and I still feel they have aged well to this day. They still look pretty dang impressive to me after all these decades. Thank you for the information regarding Aska not being censorship. As well as the Archie comics info, which I was/am not very familiar with. Take care!

The Aska thing is actually NOT censorship! It was a regional bonus as the Japanese release came out later then the US/Europe game, so basically its reverse censorship.

They also added breakable walls to Rat King’s stage and pressing select to use alternate colorschemes in single player.

Wingnut was at least a major protagonist in the Archie comics, though I would’ve preferred Fly Baxter Stockman as the FLYing character myself.

In the Archie comics, the Four Horsemen were led by Death and it was later revealed the other three were just literal puppets, controlled by Death with marionettes. Death, easily had the less interesting by comparison, being a typical Grim Reaper. I totally agree War’s design is too good for him.

Chaos is actually the correct name for the Jiangshui, his name was switched with Titi the Egyptian princess because they were worried people would make jokes about a young woman named Titi.

I also preferred freaks over female fighters as a kid, though I appreciated the rare female freaks when they appeared. Whilst Karai was obscure at the time, I appreciate how intimidating and strong this game made Karai’s appearance, I preferred it over her Genesis appearance.

Thanks for your review of this great game!

Thanks Star for once again dropping by and commenting. Haha, I totally agree with you regarding your April O’Neil statement! She definitely looked more like Blaze Fielding than she did April O’Neil. Yup, by all means check out the SNES version as it’s far superior to the Genesis one. I’ve been meaning to write about Turtles in Time forever now but something else always grabs my attention first, haha. My goal is by the end of 2016 for sure

Good review, RVGSteve! =)

I haven’t played TMNT: Tournament Fighters before… well, not the SNES version anyway; I remember one time I visited one of my relatives who had the Genesis version of the game with a surprising inclusion of April O’Neil in the fighting roster (who, thinking back, looked suspiciously more like Streets of Rage’s Blaze Fielding and less like April O’Neil), I only played that version once as a kid. I wouldn’t mind trying the Nintendo 16-bit edition if I get a chance to.

By the by, I’m still looking forward to your Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time review, which I *have* played since I was a kid =) Take care!
