Play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Ii - The Arcade Game Online

Konami released Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game for the NES in 1990. It was a direct translation of the coin-op cabinet hit, bringing that chaotic brawling action home. For many of us, this was the definitive way to experience a Turtles game on the console, a step up from the more exploratory first title.

You control one of the four turtles, moving them through city streets and sewers screen by screen. Your main goal is to fight through waves of Foot Clan soldiers to rescue April O'Neil. You use your character's unique weapon, like Leonardo's katanas, to attack enemies directly. A special move lets you perform a desperate, screen-clearing attack at the cost of some health. The game is fast and often difficult, throwing numerous enemies at you that require quick reflexes to dispatch. It feels like a genuine arcade challenge condensed for your living room.
