Finally, a new _Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles_ beat 'em up game arrived that aims to recapture the spirit of the nineties side-scrolling pixelated vibe that many arcade machines and home conversions offered---of which probably _Turtles In Time_ is one of the most revered. Decent attempts on the GBA have been made, but since then, nothing worth mentioning, besides perhaps on _Streets of Rage_ front.
Reviews have been mostly positive. You can [read my own review here](https://jefklakscodex.com/games/switch/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-shredders-revenge/): I was more than a little enthused thanks to the wonderful combination of beautifully animated pixel art and banger soundtrack. But the music seems to be something most reviewers hardly notice or only mention in passing. Here's Rock Paper Shotgun's abstract:

> Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredders Revenge, a sidescrolling beat em up that aims to recapture the spirit of the TMNT arcade games from decades past, is both incredibly simple and a breath of fresh air. Its a basic button-mashing affair that offers nothing new, but that facilitated a good old chinwag that I didn't know I needed.

In any case, I'm flabbergasted that so many reporters omit thinking and talking about music in video games. Shredder's Revenge has some big names attached to it: during the final boss battle, you can hear Ghostface Killah and Raekwon dropping rhymes in _We Ain't Come To Lose_. It's far from an instant Wu-tang classic, but it's an admirable effort and neatly fits the atmosphere of that moment. Mega Ran takes care of the ending credits music, which is a bit of a shame, as [most people tend to skip that](/post/2022/04/equality-in-game-credits).

Yes, the game is very short: it takes about two to three hours to finish story mode. But it's currently `€22` and has a ton of replayability value, and is indeed best enjoyed with a few friends. If you, like me, love Tee Lopes' work, please consider [buying the OST on Bandcamp](https://kidkatanarecords.bandcamp.com/album/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-shredders-revenge-original-game-soundtrack). There's even a CD and vinyl edition for physical affictionados.
