Play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 Online

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 hit the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990, a Konami release that brought the arcade brawler home. It arrived when side scrolling action games were a staple of the NES library, offering a direct translation of the coin op experience with some new content for the console.

You pick one of the four turtles, each with their own weapon, and fight through waves of Foot Soldiers and other enemies. Your goal is to rescue April O'Neil and Splinter from Shredder, moving screen by screen through city streets, sewers, and technodromes. The game uses a simple attack and jump button layout, but you can perform a special desperate attack when your health is low. It moves at a brisk pace, though the difficulty can spike sharply in later stages, demanding precise timing to avoid cheap hits. Controlling a turtle and clearing a screen of enemies delivers a quick, satisfying burst of action.
