Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge gets CRT and VCR filters

The wonderful Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge just got a free update that adds CRT (regular or curved) and VCR filters.

This nostalgic update turns the Brawler into a slightly more vintage Saturday morning cartoon. It looks like this:

Also notable in the update is the addition of dip switches, a throwback to arcade machines whose dip switches allow operators to tricky tune the game (and flush your pocket money in the process).

In Shredder’s Revenge, the 11 custom arcade mode options allow you to do things like: B. Preventing taunts from refilling your Ninja Power meter and making your Super Attacks cost health instead of Ninja Power. It even lets you and your friends play with the same character, which is bound to cause some confusion.

I still enjoy Shredder’s Revenge a lot and occasionally play couch co-op with my kids. It’s a brilliant take on the classic Turtles action formula, with plenty of nostalgia for people like me who were obsessed with the series as a kid.

The video below by Digital Foundry’s John Linneman does a great job of figuring out why Shredder’s Revenge is so great.
