Digital Eclipse is still adding and updating Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection. The studio recently released a giant update for the bundle that adds new Game Boy filters as well as online play for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System version of Turtles in Time.
These are just two of the changes as the patch notes are quite long and detailed. Some changes add difficulty settings while others enable arcade sticks and fix bugs. The aforementioned Game Boy filters show up in all Game Boy games and allow users to pick four options: black and white, Game Boy green, Game Boy Pocket green, and Game Boy Light blue.
The game’s Steam page even notes that there will be more changes coming later and that some titles will be getting online play. According to Game Informer, the NES version of TMNT III: The Manhattan Project will be one of these games.
