Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus - Game Boy Advance

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus for Game Boy Advance is a fast-paced side-scrolling action game that puts players in control of the four iconic turtles—Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo—as they battle across dimensions to stop a sinister intergalactic threat. Based on the 2003 TMNT animated series and a follow-up to the first GBA title, this sequel offers a fresh mix of beat-’em-up combat, unique level design, and light RPG mechanics tailored for handheld play.

Unlike its 3D console counterpart, the GBA version of Battle Nexus plays more like a classic arcade brawler with an extra layer of depth. Each turtle has their own stats, special moves, and upgrade paths, giving players incentive to rotate between them as the story unfolds. You’ll face off against familiar villains like the Foot Clan, Baxter Stockman, and even interdimensional enemies as you travel through sewers, city rooftops, alien ships, and mysterious temples.

The game features a mission-based structure, allowing players to revisit levels, complete side objectives, and unlock new abilities as they progress. Power-ups and collectible crystals enhance your turtles’ strength and skills, while environmental hazards and enemy types require strategic thinking and well-timed combos to overcome.

Battle Nexus GBA also supports multiplayer via Game Link Cable, letting two players team up for cooperative combat—a feature that fans of classic TMNT games will appreciate. Its colorful sprite work, fluid animation, and authentic sound effects capture the energy of the animated series while delivering satisfying, action-packed gameplay.

Whether you're a longtime fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or just looking for a solid handheld beat-’em-up with personality and replayability, TMNT 2: Battle Nexus on Game Boy Advance is a shell-tastic adventure worth taking.
