About

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection is a 2022 compilation developed by Digital Eclipse and published by Konami. It brings together 13 titles from the original TMNT video game series, including their Japanese versions, spanning arcade systems, home consoles, and handheld platforms. The compilation includes optional gameplay adjustments such as difficulty modifiers, additional lives, and other configurable settings. A “Watch Mode” feature allows players to view automated gameplay and start playing from any chosen point in the recording. The package also contains an archival section called the Turtles’ Lair. This archive includes design documents from Konami’s development materials, as well as box art, manuals, promotional artifacts, soundtrack samples, comic book covers, and images related to the associated animated series. A built-in strategy guide provides game information, maps, move lists, and instructional videos for each title in the collection.

TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection is a treasure trove of Turtle games, but our online experience was barely functional when matchmaking. Couch co-op fares a lot better, but some may notice an increased input delay over the originals. All said this is still a great collection for fans.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection is a great package. While not every game is a winner - and a lot of them are variants of other games in the collection - there's still lots here to love. It brings two of the most beloved beat-'em-ups in history to modern platforms, and is host to some hidden gems like Radical Rescue. This is all polished up with a host of great enhancements and the fantastic Turtle Lair gallery, which - for any TMNT fan - may be worth the price of admission alone.

TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection is indisputably the best thing Konami has released in a long while, meeting all expectations and then some. Bar absent difficulty settings for the arcade games, it's an anthology that finally gets it totally right. Digital Eclipse and Konami have done the fans justice, offering a comprehensive library that doesn't hide content behind a paywall, while going above and beyond in terms of features and bonuses. With online functionality and rollback netcode being the icing on the cake, this is now the gold standard for retro collections. Capcom, pay close attention.
