Konami also made Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, Castlevania: Circle of the Moon and Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance for the GBA.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus supports up to 4 players, including cooperative play, which makes it a strong pick for playing with a friend.

Pick it if…

  • you want to fight, blast and test your reflexes
  • you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
  • you want a game to beat together with a friend
  • you've played the GBA hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want depth and variety over simple, satisfying brawling

What playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus is like

Beat 'em ups send you down scrolling streets fighting waves of thugs with punches, kicks, throws and grabbed weapons. Most can be finished in a single sitting and shine with a second player.

Tip for newcomers: Avoid getting surrounded: keep enemies on one side of you and save your special attacks for crowds. Bring a friend if the game supports co-op.
