TMNT has been enjoying a renaissance in video game form and will soon add a collection to their fanbase.

Konami hasn’t been talking much about games lately, apart from eFootball, and rumours suggest that Bloober Team may be working on a remake of Silent Hill 2. Metal Gear? The only official thing is that Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3, which were pulled from digital stores in November, will be brought back soon after the license for the historical video footage is renewed. But that’s it; they’re more into NFTs nowadays (but not as aggressively as Square Enix…).

Back in March, the Japanese publisher announced the game. Now that they’ve only shared a new trailer with us alongside a release date, we’ll quote ourselves: “Konami has finally popped its head out of the NFTs by announcing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection, which will cross-gen across all major consoles (and PC) and will also be available in a physical edition. Of course, the thirteen games will feature everyone who matters, from Donatello to Shredder. These games will be in the collection, and it is more appropriate to list them here, with their original platforms in brackets:

•         Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Arcade)
•         Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time (Arcade)
•         Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES)
•         Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game (NES)
•         Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project (NES)
•         Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters (NES)
•         Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time (Super Nintendo)
•         Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters (Super Nintendo)
•         Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist (Sega Genesis)
•         Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters (Sega Genesis)
•         Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of The Foot Clan (Game Boy)
•         Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Back From The Sewers (Game Boy)
•         Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: Radical Rescue (Game Boy)

Here’s the collection’s overview: “Konami partnered with game developer Digital Eclipse to expertly adapt these classics for modern gaming systems with a fantastic set of quality-of-life features including save anytime and rewind, button mapping, and added online play for specific games with local couch play for all titles where intended initially. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection will also come with a digital game guide for each title to help players fight and sometimes swim through difficult areas.

The games are based on the characters and themes of the 80s children’s cartoon and comic book series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, often in a fictionalized New York City, around the sewers, inside futuristic enemy bases, and even across time itself! In collaboration with Nickelodeon, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection will also include loads of extras using imagery from the original cartoons, comics, and other historic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles media content in a compiled Museum connecting the franchise across the various mediums. Additionally, never-before-seen development art, sketches, and game design material will also be included.””

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection will launch on August 30 for 40 dollars on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC (Steam), PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
