Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans, get ready to celebrate! The “Cowabunga Collection” has just hit a major milestone by selling 1 million copies since its release. As one of the most beloved cartoons from the ’80s and ’90s, the success of this collection further confirms the enduring popularity of the legendary heroes in a half-shell. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or discovering the Turtles for the first time, there’s no denying the impact that they’ve had on pop culture. So let’s dive into the incredible success of the “Cowabunga Collection” and what it means for the future of the TMNT franchise.
Konami announced today that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection has sold over 1 million copies, despite being a retro collection featuring older games from the 8 and 16-bit era. In a fun infographic, Konami also revealed that players ate six million pizzas and defeated 350 million foot soldiers. Digital Eclipse, the project’s creator, thanked Konami and Nickelodeon for the opportunity to make the collection, but most importantly, the “intensely loyal TMNT fans who loudly supported this project!” The collection features 13 games from various consoles, many with online play. Despite positive reviews, the online component was criticized for its difficulty finding matches and input delays, but Digital Eclipse has since released updates to address these issues. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection is available for Switch, PS4, PS5, PC, and Xbox.
