    There is no doubt, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection is one of the best collections we've seen in a year where this type of package has been a complete success.

    We now live in a world where we have a brand new TMNT game, and the granddaddy of them all, with 12 of his other children. Between the Gallery, the enhancements, the different types of games, and online play, you can't beat the $40 price tag. These games will keep you busy and give you a history lesson at the same time. There's no reason to skip this collection. Konami did us proud, so go get it and play it with everyone. Your childhood deserves it.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection is a pretty solid collection that celebrates the classic games of the franchise. With options to make them easier and a huge collection of related memorabilia, it becomes the perfect compendium for longtime and new fans alike.

    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.

    In the end, the quality of life improvements from the emulation and the enhancements make the collection a brilliant way to play some classic TMNT titles on modern consoles. Nothing has been "ruined" by being overly tweaked for the sake of modernizing, and the emulation only improves the games to make them more manageable. Combine this with the Cowabunga Collection's local and online co-op, and there has never been a better time to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles gaming fan.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection is an example of nostalgia done right. It is packed with good games, with numerous improvements and new options to make the experience even more fun for both longtime fans and new players looking to experience the classics for the first time.

    One of the best retro compilations ever made… for a collection of games that, despite the nostalgia, really don’t deserve the attention.

    It's a nice collection of games. Konami has done well with the Turtles this year and hopefully we see more stuff down the line if it's doneIt's a nice collection of games. Konami has done well with the Turtles this year and hopefully we see more stuff down the line if it's done right. This collection has all the older and worthwhile Turtles games, and the very best ones have online multiplayer if you're not into couch coop. Expand
