One of the problems of making a TMNT game is that with so many different adaptations it is almost impossible to please everyone. Part of the reason for not committing to a TMNT game is that developers are worried they'll only get part interest.

Another reason to go the Arkham route, pick and choose the best things from every incarnation and create something new.

Either that or just make a proper idw based game since it more or less references everything.honestly though I don't think the issue is that they think the fan base is too divided but they still seem unsure if adult gamers are even interested in a tmnt game. Which is something I find weird because when the last few games were announced all I saw was hype on most game sites. People seemed genuinely excited until they actually got to play the games and found them poor. By now it should be obvious grown ups would be happy to buy your game if you put in more than the minimum effort

I can see a TMNT game having some puzzle & mystery solving components between combat. Maybe there could be something like Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, in the way it handles multiplayer to engage levels of the game (which still work in a single player mode)

It's still IDW so it's still only going to appeal to fans of one iteration of TMNT. |

And as far as IDW versus Fred Wolf, the Fred Wolf cartoon's time is over. FW still appeals to certain collectors who appreciate the nostalgia and are willing to spend a lot of their available income on it, but most people who are fans of the TMNT are more casual; they may be willing to spend a portion of their money on TMNT merchandise from the various iterations of the franchise but not exclusively FW. Therefore if a game developer were to make plans on creating a TMNT game they would be better to have a wider appeal and tap into a wider share of the market by appealing to fans of TMNT in general, rather than fans of FW exclusively, which IDW's iteration of the franchise does very well. It's not as dark as Mirage but not as goofy as Fred Wolf, it takes inspiration from almost all iterations of the franchise it can. It's very middle-of-the-road, but in a good way in my opinion.

Really? I've been out of the loop with the press reaction Injustice TMNT could work then but an Arkham game may be too expensive. Not trying to poo poo the idea, just thinking from a business budget perspective. |

OotS the game was the "Arkham" clone with realistic Nick designs, Mutants in Manhattan had the IDW designs by Mateus Santolouco.

Again, it may be a lot of money to invest but if the Injustice cameo proves popular and gives them a boost in sales it might be an investment worth having.

I know you have a hate boner for the IDW series despite never reading it but it contains plenty of Fred Wolf influence for you & the other casuals to cream over.

Have you seen the reaction of the TMNT's Injustice inclusion? And the buzz around it on the internet the days afterwards? You mean to tell me no eyebrowns where raised by anyone on any of the WB studios after that? People are dying for an Arkham style game for the TMNT (not an Arkham with a TMNT skin, but something of the same scope and love) and if the Injustice deal proves sucessefull and if the Insomniac Spider-Man game does as well I'm sure WB would see the oportunity to invest is something like that for the TMNT sometime soon, heck, who knows, maybe they're already working on some concepts without anyone knowing just in case.
