Konami struck while the TMNT iron was hot in the early 1990s, and found success on all formats. The Game Boy games aren’t quite as popular due to their more subdued promotion, but Back from the Sewers features some pretty nice sprite and sound work considering the system it’s on.
Delistings plaguing Wii’s Virtual Console service

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. R-Type. Bloody Wolf.
Only one of these games is considered a classic, but they all have something in common – they’re no longer available on the Wii Virtual Console, or are scheduled to be delisted.
Nintendo has been doing very little in the way of updates for the Virtual Console service on the Wii in the last 18 months (though five games will be working their way towards the EU Virtual Console service this month), and now the service is arguably going backwards.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time is a port of the second arcade game to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It retains the numbering from the NES series, though the third game, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project, was only released in America. This ad originates from the UK, where the Ninja Turtles were called the Hero Turtles due to parental concerns about the level of violence implied by the word “ninja”.
