5. TMNT Turtles In Time ReShelled

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in Time ReShelled

This reboot of TMNT Turtles In Time did not need to exist other than to pander to the rose-tinted glasses of old-school gamers who may not know better. The reboot added nothing new to the formula. its 2.5D mechanic added more awkwardness to landing hits on enemies, and its faded colour art style made enemies indistinguishable from the background in a genre known for its chaos.

Furthermore, the Ubisoft team behind this did not take the SNES port route and added in a few new stages to take advantage of the 2.5D-ness of the title. I would say this “re-shelling” was more of a wasted opportunity than a tragic mistake because TMNT fans did not expect mediocre offerings out of a game titled after a superior product.
