So, it's really odd to me that this game came after the other two Tournament fighters and I'm super curious why. That said, this feels like a very basic fighter, kinda reminds me of playing Battle Arena Toshinden or Primal Rage on the Game Boy.

Is it odd to say the sprite art is very cute? It's a cute almost chibi style to the game and it's really odd and cute to see each of the Turtles fighting without their weapons and going hand-to-hand with each Turtle having a least one or two different moves from their brother, but ultimately they are just color swaps of each other.

The music is actually really good for the NES, kinda wish there were more backgrounds, but I swear I only saw like 3 or 4 different ones. There's like a KO and winning voice sample for each character with the Turtles sharing the same one.

The difficulty really isn't that high, the AI seems pretty fair and does try to fight you without reading inputs or crowding over you since they don't have to follow the same moveset restrictions of holding directions and such.

I really liked the game, but wasn't sure what I was getting into when it's a NES fighting game on top of having played the other two first.
