I was playing today a fairly new Turtles game called Splintered Fate for Nintendo Switch. I was playing it on my Switch 2. Just recently I have also bought the Turtles movie trilogy in 4K. I also had the Cowabunga collection that features plenty of Turtles games from the past. I am a big fan of Turtles. Of course I have been a fan since I was a child.
So the trilogy includes the original movies that were made back in the beginning of the 1990s. I like to own this collection. Having these movies as 4K is very nice as an experience. When I was a kid I was so young that I wasn’t able to go to see the first two movies in a cinema but the third one I at least got to see. I am watching these movies with my 4K television and Xbox Series X. I did also get a sort of a discount. Currently the trilogy does cost about 76 euros. Also I have to remind that these movies don’t have Finnish subtitles. I liked to tell you about this in case you my dear reader are from Finland or from any other non-English country and are wondering about this matter. I didn’t actually find any difficulties with the level of English I have currently.
The Cowabunga Collection features many retro games from systems like NES, SNES, Game Boy, Mega Drive / Genesis and also from arcade. It is kind of nice to have the disc and also the cover case. Although I wouldn’t mind if I only had this collection as a digital edition. Also many of these games are already available for me to play on my retro computer that happens to be my Raspberry Pi 5 that runs Recalbox. But if you like to get into some retro style of Turtles games and happen to also see this collection available I can definitely recommend it.
What about the Switch game – Splintered Fate? I am actually still playing this one and I have only spent a bit over two hours playing it. It is cool how they have made the game as a Turtles themed one. The game reminds me a lot about Hades. I used to play Hades about a year or two ago. Also there was Hades II released just some moments ago. There is a lot of repetition. I think that it would have been nice to see a deeper story evolving during the game but the game actually isn’t a bad one.
This tiny collection is just a part of my huge collection of video games and movies. I wanted in this blog post to display it to you my dear readers and tell you about my passion towards Turtles. I know I have some other collectibles also but I think a huge part of them are still in my parents house where I lived my childhood in back in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. I did have Turtles action figures, some comic magazines and also a board game. I also had a pair of running shoes themed with Turtles but I think they aren’t anymore in any condition at all. Actually I think we threw them eventually away as is usual with old clothes.
Some of this Turtles stuff is related to my childhood closely. I sometimes like to reminisce about all this stuff. It brings me so many memories. I used to watch Turtles cartoons especially on weekend mornings. We used to wake up with my brother because we were used to waking up since we were in school every weekday morning as is usual in where I live.
So, Splintered Fate is a decent video game. Cowabunga Collection offers a lot of nostalgia. Turtles 4K Trilogy offers you the collection of these original movies. If you are interested in this stuff just look around in your favorite shop of games and see if they have these available. Splintered Fate is also available for PC and PS5 and Xbox Series S/X as is also The Cowabunga Collection and they are both released as a digital and also a physical copy. There was my take on Turtles for this time.
