I didn't say they did. I'm saying you're expecting a retro made game to outsell triple A titles at the height of their popularity? I mean really???

To say there's no interest in old-school 2D type games is just plain wrong. These games light up the sales charts constantly. We even got the return of Donkey Kong Country on Wii and Wii-U with two sequels that were critically acclaimed.

Yeah I mean it's very short sighted of Andrew to say that.

No thank you, they'd be no gameplay. I could just watch it on YouTube.

The thing is you have ask whether you want a triple A title with the TMNT name? If it sells badly there wouldn't be a game for years but what if it does well? Well every year they keep releasing subpar sequels and with so much money spent on them the slowly dwindling sales will mean that no one wants to go near that franchise again to create games. Andrew wants Arkham TMNT which would make it a hit to begin with but if it turns into COD or Assassin's Creed TMNT could be worse off in the long run.
