Funny enough, the cover of TMNT #1 was actually a parody of Frank Miller's "Ronin".

Ii did I miss this? This sounds wonderful! Doees anyone know how far along it is (and when we might find out how it plays)?

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #52 on:** January 25, 2009, 06:00:18 PM »

Stogi the concept was envisioned back in Oct 2007.Development started a year ago.
It's being made by Smash Brother developers and ex-team Ninja members.It plays like the Smash Brother series.Look at the OP for more details.

Quote from: Spak-Spang

I was truly hoping they would create a story mode to play like the original Turtle games, that would be the smartest decision they could make.

I kind of hope that don't try to. The Konami games last gen were mediocre at best and failed to capture the original arcade games (TMNT II *arcade and NES*, TMNT III and TMNT IV). Even the TMNT movie game for GBA, which was okay, didn't really live up to the arcade games legacy.

The reason why the newer Konami games failed was because that while they were, at heart, a button masher, the arcade games brought more depth into the stages and the surprises that came in them. No two stages played the same. Let's take two examples: the burning building stage from TMNT 2 and the first stage from TMNT 2003 (the first GCN game). The burning building had Foot Soliders come from the sides of the screen, but also busted down doors, coming out of elevators, hiding behind the side of the stairwell and throwing bombs, and you had to watch out for cannon balls falling down the stairs, and if you had two or more players in the arcade version, falling debris from the ceiling. The TMNT 2003 game did have the falling sewer roof debris and exploding cars, but that was it. The things that made the stages and enemies stand out in the original games were gone. The enemy placement was awful, as they just...appeared. No fancy entrances or anything, they just faded in.

Hopefully UbiSoft commisions Good Feel for a new TMNT game. Ex-Konami employees could do the franchise justice, if it ever happens that is.

The Konami games never tried to create an intelligent well designed button masher.

If you took the heart of what those sidescrolling games in the arcades were and then advanced them with a great fighting engine and combo system it would be a great game.

Which is what UbiSoft TRIED to do with the GBA TMNT movie game, but it still wasn't...enjoyable.

True, but it delivered mindless fun in spades and it captured the feel of the original cartoon down pat.

After all, April did have a very hot mid-town loft, if you catch my drift.

Anybody else a little disappointed that the devs said they weren't looking into using wiispeak for TMNT?

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #57 on:** February 04, 2009, 09:21:59 PM »

Where did you hear that Spinzilla?

First Video

NovaQ · « **Reply #58 on:** February 04, 2009, 09:33:03 PM »

That video suggests that the fighting might be a bit slower than Smash Bros. Then again, it could just be an early video.

As long as you can throw your enemies into the TV screen, I'm there.

Nova most of the video was CG.I didn't see any gameplay.Spinzilla thanks for the link.
Hmmm in the interview that Spinzilla posted it said that there are going to be stages based on Turtles lore.
What stage does everybody want to see?
I'd like to see the Technodrome.

The dump is a must. I want to throw tires!

NovaQ · « **Reply #62 on:** February 04, 2009, 10:13:12 PM »

Turtles in Time was one of my favorite games a kid. I'd love it if they could develop a level devoted solely to that game. Maybe you could fight in the various time periods it featured, each one with its own hazards to look out for. After 30 second to a minute, you'd get swept through time to the next period. (Kinda like the castle siege level in Brawl, actually.)

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #63 on:** February 05, 2009, 12:17:57 PM »

The character select screen in the trailer is kind of weird. It shows three separate groups of silhouettes, but they're identical. Further, when choosing characters, it rotates from one group to the next and rotates each group. I wonder if they did that just to stymie attempts to guess a character count.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #64 on:** May 15, 2009, 09:40:44 PM »

There is a new trailer up at IGN.

Dasmos · « **Reply #69 on:** May 15, 2009, 11:05:30 PM »

looks like smash bros with tmnt characters.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #70 on:** May 16, 2009, 01:06:27 AM »

Really? A 4-player melee fighting game made by the people who made SSBB, where you play as the TMNT characters...looks like Smash Brosh with TMNT characters? I agree...and I think it looks awesome. I just hope you're not limited to the good guys.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #71 on:** May 16, 2009, 01:19:18 AM »

Well it is slated for a September release.I think September 10th.So we should hear more about it. I saw a blog about the game a while ago.BRB.

Yeah. Man, does that look like Smash Bros. I can't say I'm complaining, though. Also, I like the look of some of the environmental effects. Seems even more Power Stone-y than some of Brawl's levels were.
