Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection is a 2022 compilation developed by Digital Eclipse and published by Konami. It brings together 13 titles from the original TMNT video game series, including their Japanese versions, spanning arcade systems, home consoles, and handheld platforms. The compilation includes optional gameplay adjustments such as difficulty modifiers, additional lives, and other configurable settings. A “Watch Mode” feature allows players to view automated gameplay and start playing from any chosen point in the recording. The package also contains an archival section called the Turtles’ Lair. This archive includes design documents from Konami’s development materials, as well as box art, manuals, promotional artifacts, soundtrack samples, comic book covers, and images related to the associated animated series. A built-in strategy guide provides game information, maps, move lists, and instructional videos for each title in the collection.

Review coverage

Critic signal strength

Numeric critic scoring uses full scored reviews once available. Review-in-progress scores act as temporary early signal only until full review scores exist. Unscored reviews still count as coverage, but they are not included in the critic average.
