I looked it up in dictionary which explains that it's a shouting word while surfing? Or it's actually "WTF" when someone drowns himself? It's a slang exclamation of amazement or joy. So like you might shout it out as kind of like a battle cry just before catching a giant wave. Michelangelo in the original cartoon speaks in kind of a stereotypical, west coat surfer accent (even though the show is set on the east coast) so he often adopted surfer slang of the day in his catchphases like cowabunga and tubular.

I always thought it was the other way around? It originated with Mikey and TMNT and then became legit slang because of him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, it comes from the 1950s then became surfer slang in the late 50s/early 60s.https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cowabungahttps://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Etymology/cowabunga Edited March 24, 2022 by Guardian_owl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, thanks for your explanation. BTW, shame that only TMNT (Arcade), TMNT Turtles in Time (Arcade), TMNT The Hyperstone Heist and TMNT Tournament Fighters these 4 titles we can play online.

The only thing that seems to have the original artwork from the cartoon is whatever that thing is on the bottom left and the pins (which look quite neat). Everything else just looks...a bit off in terms of branding and artwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't agree with a lot of what you say regularly, but this is one of the few times where I have to nod my head in agreement 100%. April is being shown there and that looks like the sprite that was in TMNT: The Hyperstone Heist. Pretty much the same as TMNT: Turtles in Time in a lot of respects, but not as good. Shredder was a pain in the ass to beat on that game. I can't afford the money to buy the limited edition unfortunately, so I'll just settle with the regular digital version on PSN. Can't wait to jump back in time and play these games again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool! But it still doesn't change what I said about the original artwork from the cartoon. The poster and box art are in the style of the original comic book that Eastman and Laird drew before it got picked up as an animated cartoon which is way less memorable and recognisable than the animated stuff. Getting picked up by TV was one of the best things to happen to it, because it improved visually leaps and bounds. The comic material always looked janky compared to the animated show artistry. The comics got a little better as time went by, but the animated style was iconic and always the thing that defined the brand, so it's a bit weird that they didn't do that for the box art at least. Their choice I guess, I just feel like there was a real missed opportunity to make this package really stand out.

Whenever there's a game with no release date I look at it because they always leak the date. They pretty much got the release date for Turtles Sheredder's Revenge and Airoheart right, the month was correct but the day was brought forward. So I bet the collection will be released in December, maybe early. But I don't see the surprise in relation to the 20th, it's an excellent way to sell even more when it comes to Turtles.

SoraxTidus Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 One of my hopes for the game is that for the Pre-Order Bonus for the Digital Version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - The Cowabunga Collection is the Dynamic PS4 Theme which contains different artworks from different Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games. Although, I don't have any possible idea what the Pre-Order Bonus look like for the Physical Disc Version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - The Cowabunga Collection yet.

They seem to be anal-retentive game preservationists who probably have Pantone swatches out making sure colours are accurately reproduced from the original arcade monitors or that they didn’t crop 2mm from a scanned concept doc they found after two weeks sifting through dusty boxes in a Konami store room… I wouldn’t be surprised to hear this was actually planned for later in the year but is now being rushed out to capitalise on the moment TMNT Shredder’s Revenge is having and the hype around that game.
