It is hard to tell, but that looks like several pictures of the same cart. I would love to see pictures of all four of them.
 
Currently I only have access to one of them, I have them in another city ]]> TMNT Tournament Fighters NES (PAL) ¿Proto? http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=29&threadid=172931 2017-04-14T12:08:13 -05.00 kerobscure 10 Originally posted by: kerobscure

It is definitely a prototype. My guess would be $200-$300. There was a similar one that sat on eBay for a while. I'm not sure, but I don't think that one sold. I don't follow pal prototypes as closely I do NTSC.
Interesting, though, I watched the vid and even though the label has Germany written on it, the cart looks completely like the NTSC cart.  Is there a chance that this was outsource developed in Germany and, possibly, this cart was sent to the US for distributor review and/or final testing?

It is definitely possible. I have seen it the other way, where it was labeled NTSC, but was PAL. I doubt it though. The lockout chip is PAL B. Also it is hero turtles.

Sound differences could be due to a mismatch between system and cart. For example NTSC system and PAL cart. OP, what type of system did you test this on?
 



In a PAL Spanish console, i got four copies of the prototype :' 
I would love to see photos of all of them, especially the PCBs.

Edit: I just read your description in the protoculture forum. Known differences will boost the value. The cooler the differences the bigger the boost.   ]]> TMNT Tournament Fighters NES (PAL) ¿Proto? http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=29&threadid=172931 2017-04-13T04:02:18 -05.00 kerobscure 10
