Nintegageo | 582 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Genre: beat 'em up Turtles in Time X-Men Was watching some arcade reviews and two games seem to be in pretty high-esteem in the genre. Wondering which you think was/is the superior game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDIRunner | 2,733 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I have to go with TMNT IV. Nostalgia definitely comes into play because it was such an amazing game for me when I was young. But I still play through it completely at least once per year and I still enjoy it today. So I feel comfortable saying it's a great game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultGen | 5,401 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 The most memorable things about X-Men to me are the gigantic cabinet and "Welcome to die". The most memorable part of Turtles is that Donatello kicks ass. Going to have to go with the one I remember for the gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpoonMan Abrams X | 697 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Real answer; Streets of Rage JK, both are pretty solid games in their own right. If were going by purely the Arcade releases, then X-Men I feel like most people remember TMNT 4 for it's console ports, which was excellent (though I still loved TMNT 2 more, personally) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkTone | 984 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 TMNT. X men was ok, TMNT was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The arcade game is just Turtles in Time. And the arcade game is good but the home port despite losing the 4 player option, added new levels, bosses, moves, colors, and modes that really fleshed out the experience. Plus the tunes are top notch. X men is still pretty epic esp that 6 player double screen cab. The voice clips alone are a riot. Too bad the mutant energy doesn't work right.

JamesRobot | 5,798 Events Team · Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 X-Men. Played it every chance I got at the arcade. Would have been a much harder decision had you said TMNT II NES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webhead123 | 675 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 So, if we're talking about Turtles in Time (Arcade) vs. X-Men (Arcade), then I would ultimately opt for X-Men. Up to 6-player co-op, the variety of mutant powers, "Welcome to die!" The thing is, I actually like TMNT IV on SNES a good deal better than the arcade version. Yes, they have lots of similarities but the Arcade game is a good bit shorter, has some less interesting bosses and doesn't have quite as much variety as the SNES game. If it was SNES TMNT vs. Arcade X-Men, then SNES wins without a doubt. But Arcade vs. Arcade, I have to give it to X-Men. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Japanese release, the "Mutant Power" capsules are used up *first* and then drain your health instead of the other way around like we got.

They also cut out the big capsule power-up drops from enemies. Switching over to the Japan release when this hit XBLA a few years ago was an eye opener. The game is already a massive quarter muncher, the US version didn't need these changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
