Cowabunga it is. Hot off the heels of Shredder’s Revenge, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection has leapt from the shadows to give us turtle fans a chance to relive some of our greatest childhood classics, all with some spicy new upgrades that would make pepperoni jealous. Shall we dig in while it’s still piping hot?

In the end, the quality of life improvements from the emulation and the enhancements make the collection a brilliant way to play some classic TMNT titles on modern consoles. Nothing has been "ruined" by being overly tweaked for the sake of modernizing, and the emulation only improves the games to make them more manageable. Combine this with the Cowabunga Collection's local and online co-op, and there has never been a better time to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles gaming fan.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : The Cowabunga Collection compiles the best TMNT games from the 80s and 90s into one convenient package. The included enhancement options help to alleviate some of the inherent issues from past hardware, but it could have given the Green Team a little more love to really push this over the edge. Either way, this collection carries nostalgia in spades and gives newcomers and fans alike another chance to don their bandanas and take it to the Foot Clan.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection is a must for any Turtles fan. The emulation here is flawless and the range of accessibility enhancements is very welcome. In fact, the treasure trove of behind-the-scenes content is worth the asking price alone. Sure, there's a some 'classic' games included that won't live up to nostalgic memories, but ignore the dross and you'll have a blast with the near-essential selection of scrolling beat ‘em up TMNT goodness.

Preserving licensed games is a noble endeavor, and Digital Eclipse are the best in the business, but many of The Cowabunga Collection's inclusions are best left in the '90s.

Not every game here is essential (or even worth playing), but there are enough gems that even new players will find something to enjoy.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection serves up ample old-school gameplay nostalgia, though it’s appeal it limited.

If there was ever any doubt about the topic, the release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge a little over two months ago proved that there is still a vibrant fanbase for old-school side-scroller games. It also proved that the TMNT brand still has appeal among a wide variety of demographics and that there is money to be made by bringing old titles in the franchise back from the dead.
