First Info on the New Teenage mutant Ninja Turtles Game
 
Well the latest issue of PSM has some first news and screens on the latest TMNT game coming from Konami (I hear it's also featured in GMR magazine).

Quote:

-The game will be a cel-shaded, 3d brawler
Well, I think the cel-shaded graphics was the only way to go to do justice to the license, I mean it is a cartoon show after all..

Quote:

-The game will be 2 player co-operative
Now, I hope this is just a misprint or something because it makes no sense, why can't they just make it a 4 player co-op game, I mean it's not for a lack of character.

Quote:

-The game will feature a VS. mode, similar in nature to that of TMNT Tournament fighters.
Well, there was also a mini-mode like this in Turtles in time if I remember correctly, I think that a TMNT game done in the style of either SSBM or Power Stone could actual be cool, but eh.

Quote:

-Naturally, all 4 turtles will be playable in 'story' mode, but in vs mode, Casey Jones, Hun, and Shredder are also said to be usable.
Well, it's an interesting take to have Casey and Shredder as playable, Casey brings a unique dynamic since he isn't a marital artist like the Turtles, but on the side of good, and well Shredder is eveil, I don't get Hun though.

Quote:

-Each turtle is said to have different move sets, and special attacks
I hope the Turtles are well balanced, I mean come on, who is gonna pick the folks with short ranged weapons when they can have long range weapons?

Quote:

-Though the game is only 2 players, all 4 turtles can be called on screen for special 'team attacks'
I'll see if anyone scanned the magazine.

And here are some scans



Well here is the pic slighty better in color



Well, the game looks nice

It looks like the show which is good :D

It looks like it'll have some sidescrolling too (top right) which should be just slightly nostalgic.

I personally can't wait for this game. I hope that Konami doesn't make it too easy. Games based off of kids' shows tend to be pretty easy and simple these days. Let's pray that Konami puts as much respect into this game as they put into their earlier Turtle games.

Well, about the character abilites. It's simple to balance them out. Those with short range weapons could move faster, be more agile, or have better special attacks, like do more damage or something. Or if the special attacks can only be used once a special meter has been filled, those with shorter weapons could probably build up their meter faster...

I'm sure Konami can do the game justice, they've proven they can in the past.


OMG, just read about the "VS. mode, similar in nature to that of TMNT Tournament fighters. "

:eek: I loved that game on the snes :D.

That means there will be a pretty high possibility that a special meter will have to be filled up in order to use a special attack, like it was in TMNT: TF.

looks great, I love the cel-shading

The game looks good... Too bad it isn't 4player, though.

Zone 05-03-2003 10:47 PM

I really can't wait for this game. Who wasn't, or still is a TMNT fan? I am.

It's great to finally get some info and see some screenshots. Seems like it'll be great.

swe-e-e-e-et, ya...i remember the TMNT games for SNES. The 4-player arcade version was great too :D

The Germanator 05-04-2003 12:30 AM

Yeah, nothing beats Turtles in Time, one of my favorite games on my SNES...this game looks to bring those memories back

I still don't really understand what kinda game it is, but it doesn't matter, I'm buying this and playing it all day every day once it comes out.

See, it's thoughts and comments like this and people that have these thoughts and make these comments that cause real gamers so much pain when we have to deal with all the crap that gets sent our way.

The cel shading looks real good. I'll probably give this game a rent.

oh, get off your high horse already :p

This looks promising...I had a hell of a lot of fun with the NES Turtles games...best beat-em-ups ever IMO.

fingersman 05-04-2003 11:22 AM

I'm sorry that it isn't four player but I've wanted a beat em up game since Snes/genesis days, hope more beat em ups appear if this game is sucessful. :D

GiMpY-wAnNaBe 05-04-2003 11:49 AM

I'm gonna use Donatello all the way!!!

:D
