During the Sony State of Play presentation this evening, it was announced that we will be getting a 13 game collection of some of the best (and worst) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection. You can watch the trailer for the collection below:
The collection will be handled by Digital Eclipse, the same company behind a huge amount of emulated collections like Mega Man Legacy Collection, The Disney Afternoon Collection, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, SNK 40th Anniversary Collection, Samurai Shodown NeoGeo Collection, Blizzard Arcade Collection, and Disney Classic Games Collection. As with their previous collection games, you will see a lot of quality of life improvements which are as follows:

(Online play requires an active PlayStation Plus subscription) - Save anytime and Rewind
- Eleven Japanese Regional Titles – Release Versions
