I have only played the remake, which is now gone from the Xbox Store. Weird that it is, and now nobody can get it anymore. An alright game, a little repetitive though.

That is a very good strategy as Turtles In Time is the real winner, however The Hyperstone Heist is a stellar game as well. Balder beat 'em ups are meant to be repetitive, if a beat 'em up is not repetitive the game is no longer a beat 'em up, perhaps a platformer or something of that nature. That is what makes Streets Of Rage, Final Fight, and Golden Axe excellent, they were highly repetitive because that is the whole point, kicking ass over and over again. That is like saying fighting games are repetitive because all you do is fight, that is the whole point. Also you speak as if this was the same exact game. These are completely different games, The Hyperstone Heist is its own game, it is not a port of Turtles In Time by any means. I had played both, and they are both are excellent, although I have not played The Hyperstone Heist on orinal hardware which is a shame because that is how these games are meant to be played. Cervantes not playing these games is shameful, these are iconic historic games that must be played by everyone, these are almost like basic requirements for anyone into gaming. At least emulate them, don't miss on these pieces of gaming history. |

That's no excuse for it getting tedious. Breakout is repetitive, but damn is it captivating.

Cervantes not playing these games is shameful, these are iconic historic games that must be played by everyone, these are almost like basic requirements for anyone into gaming. At least emulate them, don't miss on these pieces of gaming history. I've brought shame to my lineage! I'll cut my hair and walk on hot coal (that is, play a level of Bubsy). Keep in mind I played the arcade version, which was the basis for these ports. But I do agree that I should play the console versions, if only to see what was changed among them. I remember that when we had a thread about TMNT, Armored Core Raven and Pimpjira gave a quick rundown of the differences between the SNES and Mega Drive versions: I do love Turtles in Time but have a lot of nostalgia for the game, spent a ton of time playing the game growing up both alone and with my brother on the SNES. It was my favorite beat em' up for a long time but I have gotten to like others more throughout the years. They are similar but definitely not the same game. Hyperstone Heist only has 5 levels(but they are a lot longer) and no time travel to different time periods. They have way more in common than not and they come from the same source, Hyperstone Heist is a reworked port of Turtles in Time made to fit what they were able to do with the Mega Drive hardware better, as it lacked hardware acceleration for sprite scaling and rotation for example they didn't include the "mode 7" level (thankfully, I say, as it's not very good, in my opinion), but they still have a lot of the same animations, attacks, characters, enemies, bosses, parts of cutscenes and intro, large segments of the levels, music and even the animated/comic palette swap setting in the options menu. You can focus on all the things they share or the few things they don't, but at the end of the day they still share a lot more than not so you won't get a wildly different experience if you play one over the other. And just for those who are curious, Hyperstone Heist didn't just remove content, it added some new unique stuff that Turtles in Time didn't have, like some new bosses and the sprinting ability was given it's own button instead of being a double-tap action of the d-pad, a minor change of the controls technically but this makes it a lot more playable in my opinion. |

These games are very similar, unlike other titles that were brought to both consoles like Aladdin or Robocop, which are totally different games. My vote goes to SNES for this one. (But definitely not for Robocop)

The reason why they are so similar is because they are based on the same storyline by pretty much the same developers so that's why they have heavy borrowing of elements. They are completely different games though, the same game is the arcade version and the SNES one, just different versions.
