Just like the Batman or the Spiderman, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (or Ninja Turtles for French speakers) are constantly coming out in new versions in an attempt to seduce new generations of children and teenagers.
If there are fewer games than at the time, Nickelodeon, owner of the rights of the franchise, multiplies partnerships and the incursions of turtles in the games of other publishers.
The goal? Continue to grow the transmedia franchise in cartoons, movies, toys, books.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles confront villains of all shapes and sizes in all media by battling each other with Japanese martial arts and bladed weapons.
If I know and appreciate the franchise since I was 4 years old, it is generally intended for children from 7 to 8 years old. And of course as a franchise dating back more than 30 years, many adults have remained fans of them. That’s good, Nickelodeon continues to bet on the nostalgic aspect as much as on the new series to capitalize to the maximum.

Which TMNT game to choose?
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge. That’s it. It’s just the best. The rest is the Cowabunga Collection with old Konami games.
Avoid Out of the Shadows, and the Nickelodeon games that contain them mentioned above, they are not particularly good.
