I always loved playing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles beat ’em up Konami games in arcades and on consoles back in the 90s. Being a SEGA kid I got to play TMNT The Hyperstone Heist the most and always wanted a sequel but was disappointed with TMNT Tournament Fighters. So a few years ago I couldn’t believe it when I came across a cool TMNT romhack mod for the popular classic beat ’em up Streets of Rage 2 for SEGA Genesis/Megadrive called TMNT of Rage Remix by eskayelle which replaced all 4 characters with Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo & Donatello along with a few other things. However now a few years on inspired modders Savok & PPI Akiko have gone above & beyond and created an even bigger total conversion romhack for SoR2 called Shredder’s Re-Revenge that uses assets from the recent awesome TMNT Shredder’s Revenge game (ironically made by the creators of Streets of Rage 4!) on Steam & modern consoles. Because Shredder’s Revenge was deliberately retro with pixelated art its sprites and animations were able to be converted over to the Genesis palette and inserted into SoR2 resulting in this mod looking quite amazing. So naturally the 4 Turtles are back better than ever, but now all enemies have been replaced too and the huge boss fight sprites for Krang, Bebop & Rocksteady in particular are most impressive, plus not only that but they’ve even changed the story cutscenes and found a way to extend SoR2’s character roster past the original 4 up to 7 playable characters allowing them to also insert April, Casey & Splinter into the game too! Feels like the true TMNT Hyperstone Heist sequel we never got! Just amazing!
