Two quintessential beat 'em ups with amazing cab artwork. Also found out that I can use my wireless 8bitdo arcade stick by plugging the wireless dongle into the USB port on the right side of the arcade cabinet. I wanted the original full size TMNT cabinet which is now out of production. The new Turtles In Time cabinet was tempting with its features but I hated the artwork... A LOT. So this little countercade ended up being the perfect solution for me since it has the artwork of the original cabinet (and is significantly cheaper). If you love these games, don't hesitate to grab this!

I was going to buy the big one but it was to pricey and I wanted to spend my money else where. This was a nice compromise I highly recommend it if you grew up watching and playing this arcade game! This game is the reason I started programming because I wanted to create video games! It, feels like the real things. Only complaint is a little tight for 2 players but you can use a controller with the usb port on the side.

Two of my Favorite games (TMNT & Turtles In Time) in one mini arcade cab! Love that it has a Options menu for Difficulty, Lives & Scanlines! It also looks & sound great! Looking forward to picking up some more mini cabs when they go one sale, got this one on sale (50$ off)

First off, got this open box for $126 and it was clearly untouched. That said, I feel like that about the right price for this, maybe even less for what you get. The game is great. The cabinet is awesome but with only two games, it’s a lot of money. Still significantly better value than the larger cabinets. Countercades are the way to go, but only when on sale.

This is a well made cabinet. $230 is way too much for it. I paid $150 and felt comfortable with that price, but not more. It looks and sounds great. Great if you dont have room for the big ones, which are getting out of control on the price.

Are you a fan of old school arcades, but don't have the room for full-sized cabinets? Then Arcade1Up's got the stuff for you! Seriously though, I sucked at TMNT back in the day, but I loved it nonetheless. When I saw Arcade1Up introduced a countercade version of it with two simultaneous player capability (obviously, not quite the same as the arcade with four player capability, but still), it peaked my interest. When it went on sale, I was sold! I love the artwork on this countercade, and the lighted marquee is a nice touch. The game is just as I remember it, and, yep, I still suck. But, I'm cool with that.

Good Deal at $150

This is a good deal at $150. I live alone, move around a lot, and sometimes have limited space; so this is perfect compared to the larger version. Some have commented that it doesn’t include the full version of Turtles in Time, but it does - they are confusing the Arcade port with the Super Nintendo port that most people grew up with. My only gripe is that this only comes with two games while other Countercades come with four. This is likely due to licensing rights issues and the fact there were only two TMNT arcade games. It would have been cool to see Battletoads and/or Double Dragon included. The deck cover was cracked at one of the screws, so quality control could be better. I’m talking to Arcade1Up now to get it replaced. I recommend playing with headphones since the speaker being on the bottom is less than ideal. Being able to play with an XBox controller is a nice feature. Overall, worth the money.

It's okay if you want something big, but not too big. Bad is it only comes with 2 games and it showed somewhere it was suppose to be 4. Now a Turtles collection for all consoles was announced a few days ago, meaning this things value is not that great. I would have returned it, but it's too late for me to do so now. Maybe try to mod it someday and get some worth out of it.

One of my earliest arcade memories was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game with April O'Neil on the side of the machine. This countercade is a huge nostalgia bomb in all of the best ways. Whether you remember the original game or Turtles in Time this game will have you covered.

Wow, this game took me back. It’s a huge hit with my 5yo. I snagged it while on sale, making it very worthwhile. Very nice quality and the screen is larger than I expected. So fun, I just ordered the NBA Jam version as well!
