Konami has released an all-new update for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection, giving you more TMNT awesomeness. This is basically fulfilling a highly-requested list of features and additions people wanted in the game, including online multiplayer for certain titles, and a bunch of stuff that was missing from the game that hardcore fans of these franchises immediately noticed wasn't here. Not to mention some strange new additions, such as being able to choose the color gradient on the Game Boy titles, as you can see from the images below. We have the full patch notes from the team below as the update is live and ready for download.
