Konami Game Boy brawler, first TMNT/TMHT entry. Four playable turtles with distinct attacks, 2D action levels, Shredder as final boss. Short (five levels), easy, but functional and snappy. Konami knows how to handle these licenses. Pleasant for Turtle fans, nothing more for others.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Japanese version of Konami's action-platform game in which the four Ninja Turtles set out to rescue their friends, on Game Boy. The Japanese market, where the licence went by another name, received only a limited pressing of this careful adaptation. Its desirability lies in that regional scarcity, the Turtles' lasting aura and Konami's craft on the console.
Is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles still worth playing in 2026?
The first Ninja Turtles game on Game Boy from Konami, this title blends action and horizontal scrolling platforming as the four turtles take on the Foot Clan to save April. Each turtle has its own reach and feel, and the snappy pace makes up for fairly short content. The polished presentation for the machine and the direct handling make it an effective adaptation. For a Turtles fan, a lover of portable beat them ups or someone nostalgic for the Konami era, the title keeps a simple, well paced pleasure.
