IronSlayer, oh wow, you made a third post about that "shitty mess" and again give NO freacking reason of why you think you can call it like that. You prefer empty rhetoric of being a baby and getting out of here.
It's awesome how you don't see any difference between "shitty mess no one cares about" and "lousy and practically unknown". The latter is totally neutral, the fromer is an insult to the people who (again) played that game and grew up with it and know it as you never intended to (but you imagined you can shit on the thing you don't know, which shows only you as an idiot).
First, I didn't speak for the whole actual country, but only about those people who spend '90-s playing that game.
Second, I can say that TMNT TF was really the ONLY official fighting game for NES, the second one was named "Joy Mech Fight" and was Japanese only. The rest fightings our people played on 8-bit were pirated Mortal Kombats, pirated Fatal Fury, pirated Street Fighters, all of which can definitely be called shitty mess for those who played them and compared them to TMNT TF, or to original games from other consoles these were ported from.
The above info means that everyone who knows about Dendy and had played it back then with friends, knows TMNT TF and likes it. Yes, there are people that never actually played it back then (though they know about pirated ports), but no one can call it shitty mess seeing it now, especially after those ports.
So I have concluded that you had only SNES (which was EXTREMELY rare at those times, and the games for it were even more rare and expensive, which may not be the case for metropolitans though). The funny thing is that when those people who played NES Tournament Fighters checked SNES or Genesis versions of it, they coudn't get the same enjoyment from them. Probably because they were not done with that care and love the NES version was done with. Players feel that care and work a developer puts into a game, and if the latter only uses some common effects of a newer platform, it doesn't mean he put a good amount of work into it. And doesn't mean that game is BETTER than the one from an older console.
You know, the abilities shall be a bit tight for a creative person, that way he puts more work into
OPTIMISATION and inventing
catchy tricks and moves. Imagine a competition where an artist shall draw the most realistic picture with the less possible strokes. If you take a good amount of people to take part in such competition, you would be amazed by the result. Because not actual realism defines the value of a picture, but the ability of the author to catch out the most vivid features of the original. There shall still be some mystery and imperfectness, to leave the viewer a way to imagine the rest himself.
And if the abilities are TOO wide, people wouldn't be able to prodice a strong directed flow. That doesn't mean you shall keep the abilities tight all the way, it just means when you expand the power, you shall put more work to pull maximum out of it.
Here we see the thing I am talking about. After a hard work on some NES titles, developers might be amazed by SNES power and left the product not perfect, thinking the graphics and sound channels would do the work instead of them. The example of real SNES power is Donkey Kong, it represents something really mindblowing in all terms. But not everyone can put that much work into his prodict, leaving the graphical realism to satisfy the player's lust XD
As for the links I gave, you could do yourself a favor and lurk on that forum a bit more and find out that there are some tens of players that use Nestopia's kailera and carry on a huge amount of matches. And I AM NOT a part of this comunity and never tried to fight with them. Because I don't find myself good enough to struggle that nerds XD
Now either provide (at last) a real proof that this game is a shitty mess, or kill yourself (joke).
