What happened to TMNT: Hyperstone Heist???

[Ecco]

I fail to see why it's a halfassed game. My friends and I had much more fun playing Hyperstone Heist than we did playing Turtles in Time on the SNES.

Well it still is a fun game, thankfully. But to me, the lack of water-splashing effects makes the characters look like they're walking ON TOP of the water in those stages... So to me that alone makes it look incomplete, if nothing else...

I also had great fun playing SOTB2.
Come on, plenty of reasons are in this very thread.

South of the Border 2?

Sitting on Tons of Basketballs 2?

Slicing Open the Bitches 2?

Saliva On Toasted Bread 2?

Slapping Old Tired Bastards 2?

Shooting Off Thermal Ballistics 2?

^I'm unfamiliar with "SOTB2" but the acronym sure is promising.

Shadow Of The Beast?

[Ecco]

Ohhhh

[Iron Lizard]

I like your guesses better.

Ha thanks. Shadow of the Beast 2 is pretty good though. I just couldn't think of what "SOTB2" meant, for the life of me.

J/K, but seriously, there's a treasure trove of past topics on this, so use the search function people!

The point I was too lazy to express was that I highly doubt Nintendo had an exclusive agreement with Capcom and Konami regarding specific games.
If anything the games you mentioned were not released because Sega had a comparably small share of the market prior to Sonic the Hedgehog.

In addition both Capcom and Konami were competitors to Sega in the arcades, and both made very decent money with their Nintendo games.
