    If it was the SNES version, I'd have gladly paid 1200 for it, and been even happier when it dropped to 800.

    sadly, it's the far inferior arcade version.

    No thanks, I'll just stick with my 1989 arcade game instead.

    No bebop and rocksteady.
    No super shredder.
    If I'm not mistaken, and I may be, you also don't get to fight shredder by throwing foot at the screen.

    There's also a couple levels that were added to the snes version that aren't in the arcade version, technodrome and a couple others.

    @Nevest356: Ummm. What???? Umm.. Im guessing your not in my age bracket. When ninja turtles arcade came out, my friends and I spent so many quarters..
    Then Turtles in time came out.. and more quarters..

    Having it made in HD makes me and ALOT of other people happy.
    Whats funnier is the fact that you paid for turtles 1989 on arcade, when you could as much just got a good emulator and copy of the game.

    @Ur-Lord-Crypy:

    I'd rather play with my friends on Live, especially considering it was 5 bucks and legal.

    Not everyone automatically downloads roms of everything they want to play.

    I played the hell out of 1989 in arcades, and the SNES version of TiT trumps the arcade version 10x over. The only thing the arcade version had over the SNES version was 4 players.

    If they made a straight port and included 4 players on the SNES version, I'd gladly pay for that again even though I have the actual cart sitting in front of me.

    @Nevest356: Turtles in Time? Check. Console that's still plugged into my TV screen? (That is, when the PS3 port comes out) Check! Most importantly! Can I play it, after my wife passes out late at night, without waking her up from the sound of me plugging the cartridge into my SNES? Hell yes!

    Okay, I'm really joking around, I just want to play a childhood favorite in HD with 3D graphics. I've played the SNES version enough times that I'll be happy to play the arcade version in the comfort of my own home, on a TV screen, and not on MAME.

    I plan to get it. Can't wait. I used to love that game... As for the MvCapcom, I am afraid to buy it after buying Street Fighter 2 on XBLA a while back only to have them release the HD Remix later... I've got a gut feeling that if I buy MvC2, an HD Remix of it will hit later on. lol. That is my luck anyway...

    Hell yes. TiT is a great game, but I can't justify it being 15 bucks worth of greatness. I don't make much money at all, so that 5 dollar difference is pretty big for me.

    more to do with the backlash from the press, blogs and message boards about charging 1200 points for a game that can be beat in 30 mins when 2 weeks later Shadow Complex hits for the same price, but with 10+ hours of gameplay.

    Okay, I'm now sold on the buy 'em all deal.

    That's 15 each for Trials, Marvel, and Shadow Complex, plus 10 each for Splosion and Turtles. $65 bucks total and then they give you $10 more in MS points. Works for me. As I said in an earlier thread, that five dollar difference is all it would take for me to be convinced, and true to my word I am so convinced.

    @Sodders: Yes, they had better not lower the price and get more people to buy the game so that you have more people to play with because otherwise that would mean that you paid an extra $5 for NOTHING!

    Look, I bought an iPhone on launch day for $600. Later when the price was dropped by $200 dollars, I decided not to feel the same way, I decided to understand that being cool by being the first to get something does have a price.

    That $5 is your "I bought it first" tax.

    Hopefully next summer we'll get the xmen arcade game. That one i smy all time favorite. 1 because it has dazzler which makes me laugh all the time and 2 because your character is as tall as the sentinals and 3 is just plain awsome.

    But i was going to buy turtles in time regardless, im just glad i got to save 5 dollars in the process. Now i can buy splosion man AND turtles in time with 1 point card!

    Nice. Wonder if the PSN one is gonna get price dropped too? Turtles in Time is fantastic, one of the best beat-em-ups ever to hit the arcades. Can't wait for the PSN release.

    It's a damn dirty shame, though, that this remake is based on the arcade version and not the vastly expanded SNES port with the extra levels and new bosses...
