Konami’s 1989 and 1991 TMNT arcade games stand as two of the most successful co-op arcade games of all time. In 2017, Raw Thrills (makers of the Fast & Furious arcade games) gave the license a shot as well, releasing a third arcade game that was simply titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. That arcade game has finally been ported to home c...
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants is now available on consoles and Steam, bringing the 2017 Raw Thrills arcade game home at last. GameMill Entertainment and Raw Thrills have added three new stages to the game, kicking the number of bosses up from 7 to 13. Let's check them out! Bebop Wrath of the Mutants is based...
After a period of Apple Arcade exclusivity, Super Evil Megacorp's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is riding the timed exclusivity train onto Nintendo Switch. The top-down roguelike features a great 2D visual style, an authentic comic book-style storyline, and 4-player online co-op. The Turtles will be splintering fates on Switch this July.
Arcades might have dwindled in the United States, but they still exist. Companies like Raw Thrills even make new arcade games such as 2017's TMNT arcade game. Seven years later, Game Mill is releasing that game onto consoles and PC as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants. It will support 4-player local co-op, and it's due in late April.
Taito’s “Ray” series of vertically-scrolling shoot ‘em ups hasn’t seen nearly as many entries as their Darius series, but it retains a devoted following among fans of the genre.

When the Neo Geo Mini arrived in 2018, it kicked off a wave of miniature arcade cabinets that continues to this day. Although the unit featured a fairly good built-in arcade stick and buttons, the optional controllers were widely criticized for their lack of microswitches and inauthentic button layout. Five years later, 8Bitdo will finally offer a much better control option with its upcoming 8Bitdo NEOGEO Wireless Controller. The new controller will work with the NeoGeo Mini, PC, and mobile.
While Darius is Taito's number one shoot 'em up series, the "Ray'z" series is a close second. Made up of three vertically-scrolling arcade shmups released from 1994-1998, the Ray'z games still command a loyal following. Now PlayStation and Switch gamers can own the entire series (or just the two newest games) via two freshly-released collections: RayStorm X RayCrisis HD Collection and Ray'z Arcade Chronology. Both collections are similar, so we'll outline what each one contains.
Replica arcade cabinets are popular among collectors nowadays, with three sizes commonly available: 3:4 scale cabinets from Arcade1Up, 1:4 scale cabinets from Quarter Arcades, and 1:6 scale cabinets from Replicade (New Wave Toys). Numskull's Quarter Arcades line is stepping up their game (and prices) with today's announcement of 1:4 scale Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and TMNT: Turtles in Time cabinets. Both miniature cabinets are fully playable and support 4-player local co-op.
