Games Asylum: "Well, this is neat. As the name suggests, Wrath of the Mutants is the rarest of things – a genuine arcade conversion. With most modern arcade games being ticket redemption machines, this is something seldom seen. In fact, the last arcade conversion we can recall was Raw Thrill’s own Cruis’n’ Blast on Switch back in 2021. This is also based on an older iteration of TMNT, harking back to the series from 2012-2017. It’s essentially breaking franchise continuity (we’ve had two different iterations of the Turtles since) and could even be considered nostalgic for a select few – those who grew up with 2012’s Turtles are probably in their late teens."
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are back in a new adventure inspired by the Nickelodeon series and games such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time and although short on length, the game packs loads of nostalgic fun.
Raw Thrills is a company that’s made a name for itself in modern arcades. But can it do the TMNT series justice on home consoles?
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants, the 2017 arcade game by Raw Thrills based on the 2012 Nickelodeon TV series, is coming to all home consoles (read: Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam) on April 23. It'll be priced at $29.99.
Played this all the way through in the arcade last year, its okay, nothing all that special. It doesn't come close to the Konami classic TMNT games, but I'm still glad to see it get a home port (all arcade games should get home ports!), with added content.
Not as good as the classics, but still a decent one! Would like to grab this on Switch if possible. Even better if it gets a physical.
I'm happy about all of the TMNT game releases the last few years. Will be grabbing this for sure.
