What's up guys and welcome back to my channel where I talk and do everything pinball. So if that sounds good to you then hit that subscribe button down below. Today I was able to finally play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles by Stern Pinball. And what are my thoughts on this title? Well guys, I can tell you right now I thoroughly enjoyed playing this game. Seeing the art in front of me was definitely a very pleasing thing. The art looks great. The gameplay was definitely very fun. The audio, although low, I could still make out to where everything sounded good on the audio end as well. My only nitpick slash, I guess, the low part of this game so far, which can be fixed, is the animations. The animations is the low point on this particular title. everything else is doing pretty damn good so just certain little things here and there in the animations I like I kind of wish this would have been done a certain way or things could have been done differently that would have made it more aesthetically pleasing I think it's just it's not it's not as well up to where I think it should be whenever everything else looks the way it does do I plan on doing an actual review of this title Yeah, I would think so. I think that actually this machine will probably be my first machine to actually give you guys a thorough review when it comes to everything.
