The stupendous Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection was revealed for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S, and PC, and it is a doozy. A whopping 13 games are included in the package, and they range from the NES to the arcade. Digital Eclipse put together this collection.
