Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection now supports co-op online

Turtles fans had a really good 2022 as we both both got the brilliant Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge followed by the well made Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection. One of the biggest problems with the latter, was that online support wasn't fleshed out, and everyone knows that a game like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time is best played with a friend.

Well, this isn't an issue anymore. The game has now gotten a pretty major patch, which adds online co-op for Turtles in Time. We're also told that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project will get online co-op in a later update. Besides this, there's plenty of new stuff to be happy about, check out the patch notes further down.
