TMNT Cowabunga Collection Limited Edition Gets New Kevin Eastman Art
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have fans who love the original 1980s cartoon, or just love the original Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird comics, or just the Playmates toys, or just the action figures from NECA, or the current comic books from IDW, or all of the above to one degree or another. Then there are a few sadistic fans who love the 1989 video game from Konami, even the underwater level. There aren't many fans like that, but there are a lot of fans who grew up with TMNT games throughout the 1990s that were put out by Konami. Many a quarter was lost to the TMNT Arcade cabinet that was eventually released on console as TMNT II. The Konami era of games is well-loved and many fans are nostalgic for the classic beat-em-up games that Konami produced throughout the 1990s based on the classic Fred Wolf animated series, and where there is a nostalgia there is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection.
Scheduled for release on December 31st, 2022, the TMNT Cowabunga Collection will feature 13 games that Konami originally put out between 1989-1993 on multiple consoles including the NES, Gameboy, SNES, Sega Genesis, and versions that were only available in the arcade.
Included are:
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Arcade)
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time (Arcade)
