Is there any reason to go with the Premium on my second go around with this pin? I had the Pro, liked it a lot, but kicked my ass. Generally speaking, I have nostalgia to get it back..and I will within the next week or two. Question is do I grab a Premium this time around? Is TMNT Premium situation similar to Deadpool Pro vs Premium, where the Premium isn’t required, but there are some QoL benefits that make the game flow/play/control better?

Quoted from solid_snake:

As with a lot of Borg games the Premium isn't a huge upgrade. The turtle van multiball and Krang toy are nice to have though. The glider diverter and pizza disc spinning in both directions aren't a big addition for me, but for some they might be (especially the glider). Also, 8 balls on the Premium compared to 6 on the Pro, which is pretty rare.

Thanks. You control the diverted right? If so, shouldn't it be easier to complete the missions, since I can feed the flipper I need?

Thanks all. Man, ya'll got me thinking hard on the Premium now. I really miss this machine (my Pro), it's a tough shooter, but the theme is top 5 for me in pinball. If I do get the Premium however, I'm going to have to change out the t-molding, haha! The Red is terrible compared to the Lime-Green on the Pro, imo.

Quoted from Thunderbird:

Pro is nice too, but Premium all day long. Have shot both, but don’t kid yourself, the upgrades are not small.
1. Being able to change lanes via the glider is huge, at least for me. On the pro, always frustrating can’t do that on a tougher playing layout. Layout was meant to have the glider.
2. Ball lock in the Lair is also a game changer. pro doesn’t have that.
3. Krang toy puts you in the Zone and is such a fun addition. Can’t imagine the game without it.
4. TMNT van having 4 balls falling out of the van is just like the Ninjas all falling out to kick some Foot.
5. 8 ball vs. 6 ball, so much more fun, with all the kaos like 4 clan vs 4 turtles. Easier to hit all the required April shots with 8 balls to get to Cowabunga. (Even with that, I’ve not been there yet, lol.)
6. Both direction spinning disc really adds unique play to the game and is utilized not just during PMB, but during regular game play, which keeps the ball from going SDTM.
Think you’ll be happier in the long run with the premium all day long, imo. The differences are so many, they all add up pretty quickly to a better package, which is the way Borg fully designed the game to be at its best. But the pro is a great value, which you already know.
Tell us which way you go.

I didn't know the Premium has a ball lock in the lair! It just feeds right through on the Pro. It also sounds like the action button has better usage, than the Pro. 8 balls would help more with the missions since this is such a tough shooter.

Quoted from Dustwel:

I have premium and have only played Premium and CE. I can’t imagine playing without the ramp diverter, and Krang and van ball drop are awesome too. The ramp diverter especially comes in useful. A ton of shots need to be made off of the right flipper and it’s not easy to pass between flippers when held.
Just got JJP GNR last week and honestly still love TMNT Prem more.

This is exactly what I had trouble with. Some games on the Pro, felt like I could never get the ball to the right flipper. So many shots needed on the left side/ramps/lair, but ball always seems to fall to the left flipper...and you can't backhand much on this table.
