–>> A favourite scene from THE WIZARD is the TMNT ‘cameo’ where Christian Slater catches poor Beau Bridges playing the original NES Turtles game.. and he mistakes the first level for the third level. But i guess that wasn’t his fault per se. Still a funny scene.
Beau acts like he’s reeling in a giant swordfish as he’s wrestling with the NES game controller. Xp

Hey guys,
I know there isn’t a TMNT game this year, but I thought you’d like to see the pictures i took at E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) 2010 anyway. They are mostly booth shots. I don’t bother taking video or pictures of games anymore since the internet blogs and websites that specialize in games do a much better job than I do and are usually in HD. Click the pic to go to my album.
Sorry it’s been awhile, but I was thinking today, as a fan of the Archie Comics, and going through the rosters from all 3 TMNT:TF games, gosh the roster is Archie heavy.
Of course you have the Turtles and Shredder in all 3 versions. Casey is in the NES and Genesis versions. Karai is also in 2 versions. April shows up on the Genesis, but look at the other playable characters:
NES:
The only other playable character is Hot Head, a character from the Playmates toy line, but also based more on the Warrior Dragon from Archie.
SNES:
War is one from an arc in the Archie comics, that also involved the Mutanimals. Wonder where Death, Famine, and Pestilence are? That makes 2 Archie characters.
Aska was created just for the game…lets skip her.
Chrome Dome was a character from the series and the toy line. So heck the toy-line ties with Archie so far. 1 for the series.
Wingnut was in the Archie series, an episode of the show, and the toy-line. Maybe my original premise was off…3-3-2.
Armaggon was only in Archie! Oh how I wanted a figure…curse you Playmates!! 4-3-2
Rat King is playable only with Game Genie…I think. He was in the Mirage Books, the OT, the toy-line, and Archie. Wow, the first aside from the main cast to hit all 4 Turtle mediums of the time. 5-4-3-1.
Genesis:
Ray Fillet is an Archie and Toy character. 6-5-3-2 (NO, I don’t count Ray from that one episode…)
Sisyphus was also a game exclusive…
Triceraton was in Mirage, the show in one episode, and even a toy! 6-6-4-3
Krang is in all but Mirage…well at least in canon.
Ok…so maybe I was wrong…it’s not so Archie heavy. But then again the toy-line had 3 universes to pull from.
Any thoughts as to why there were so many Archie characters?
