Retrotopia Talks TMNT 2: The Arcade Game

Thank you to Brother Retro who gave us the Jammy Dodge Jingle Welcome to another episode of Retrotopia: Another Video Game Podcast. This is a show where we, Alan, Brian, and Sam, get together to discuss video games from years gone by. We like to look at video games from the perspective of lifelong gamers and how they hold up in the retro sphere. This week we are discussing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game, a NES game released in 1990 that brings the quarter-munching arcade experience straight into your living room, delivering side-scrolling beat-’em-up action as you take control of Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, or Raphael to rescue April O’Neil and take down Shredder’s Foot Clan. Packed with fast-paced combat, familiar enemies like Bebop and Rocksteady, and a brand-new exclusive NES level, this port blends faithful arcade gameplay with added content—making it one of the most iconic co-op brawlers of its era.
