I own both and if i was a private collector id pick ST pro all the way. TMNT is a clunky game. The shots dont feel good, the start episode shot is mostly hit by rattling the ball up the middle. Yes it looks like an amazing packed playfield and the art, modes, lighting and sounds are amazing but it plays like an over engineered mess.

Quoted from Spywell:

Good, you won't regret it.
I know too many people both private and routers that picked TMNT up thinking it was going to be huge just to try desperately to get rid of it soon after.
Stranger things does very well everywhere and I enjoy playing it, sure it can be fast and tough but it feels rewarding.
TMNT on the other hand, I think the code is complete garbage and I'm surprised it got out of the factory with this code and that it still has this code. As nearly every other poster on this thread has agreed that there's some serious imbalances. I love playing turtles, I love the theme and music, I enjoy hard, tight games like Houdini but I finish playing turtles frustrated with it every time. Either frustrated that it kicked my butt or very frustrated that I kicked it's butt and was so sure the entire time that I did really well, long ball times, many multiballs and wailing on the toughest shots, pick-up all the lit shots just to finish the game and the tiny score mock me. Like what the heck, what do I have to do to score on this pin???

I agree, TMNT from a distance looks amazing, it has so many shots and metal wireforms. None of the shots on TMNT feel good. STh isnt a ground breaking game but thats ok. It flows well and feels complete. Having both a STh and AFM in my arcade I would rather play STh.

OP do yourself a favor and track down the UV kit. Do not settle for the pinstadium version. You wont regret it.
