Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade hits Aussie XBLA

Australian Xbox 360 owners are getting some old school arcade action on Xbox Live. Konami‘s 1989 arcade title Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles hits the XBLA in Australia today for only 400 MS Points.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lets players choose from one of the four titular heroes to rescue April O’Neill and Master Splinter from Shredder. Players will have to fight through hordes of Foot Soldiers and other baddies to get to Shredder and rescue their friends in this side-scrolling title.

This title is not to be confused with the NES Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game which was also released in 1989. Interestingly, this game was retitled to Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles in Europe due to issues involving the word “ninja”. Huh. Never really understood that.
