Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has grown into a pop culture icon since the comic books and TV series debuted in the 1980s. Alongside a media empire spanning children's toys, animated cartoons, and live-action movies, the anthropomorphized turtles have also seen a major presence in video games throughout the years. The Turtles continue to see success even today with the recent release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge. Now, The Cowabunga Collection is set to bring back a plethora of classic adventures with Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise has a rich history of tie-in video games with TMNT games dating back to the franchise's roots in the late 1980s. Early TMNT video games like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on NES featured side-scrolling action platforming before shifting to the franchise's more recognizable beat-em-up style. Modern games have seen the Ninja Turtles cross over into a variety of games under the Nickelodeon umbrella like Nickelodeon All-Stars Brawl. Now, The Cowabunga Collection serves up a set of old-school TMNT games set to arrive next month.
