Tentative release date revealed
Announced last March, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : The Cowabunga Collection is a compilation gathering on the same disc 13 games featuring the famous fighters.

Classics reworked for modern consoles
In collaboration with Nickelodeon, 13 titles from the Konami archives, arcade games and their Japanese versions will be released on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One / Series X and Nintendo Switch (who recently celebrated his fifth birthday). Great classics of the time, these different adaptations by Konami of New York heroes defined the standards of beat’em up and action games. To adapt these classics to modern gaming systems, the Japanese company has teamed up with development studio Digital Eclipse. A set of comfort-enhancing features has been designed, such as instant save, rewind or control modification. In addition, online play has also been added for some titles, in addition to local multiplayer for titles intended for this purpose.
