Dream roster for a TMNT fighting game by NRS
With the recent news of the TMNT's inclusion in Injustice 2, and given what that may mean for the franchise's future forays into the world of video games, let's imagine for a moment that NetherRealm Studios decide to take it one step further and announce that their next project is a TMNT-exclusive fighting game with a similar engine to MK and Injustice, to be released in the next few years.
What would your dream roster for such a game be like? How many characters would you like to get right out of the gate, and how many for DLC? Here's my own list: Starting Roster 01. Alopex 02. Bebop 03. Bishop 04. Casey Jones 05. Donatello 06. General Traag 07. Hun 08. Karai 09. Krang 10. Leatherhead 11. Leonardo 12. Metalhead 13. Michelangelo 14. Raphael 15. Rat King 16. Renet 17. Rocksteady 18. Savanti Romero 19. Shredder 20. Slash 21. Splinter 22. Zog DLC Characters 23. Armaggon 24. Mona Lisa 25. Usagi (26. ?) I tried to keep it all-inclusive, with a little bit of every major iteration of the franchise, all the big fan-favorites, and the condition that every character picked had to have been featured in at least two incarnations so far (which excludes Old Hob, for instance). I look forward to reading everyone else's input and reasoning for their choices! Last edited by ChosenOne; 11-12-2017 at 10:48 AM. |

I agree with your list. The only characters I would add are some of the villain's armies throughout the different versions such as Foot Soldiers, The Purple Dragons and Stone Warriors, but as single fighters.
Then for each fighter, there could be different skins (for e.g. 87 and 1990 movie foot soldier) |

For some reason I kinda see saving Slash for DLC cause I can imagine every turtle fan going bonkers whenever his DLC trailer hits.
I'm thinking if we start with say... 16 fighters... 1 Leo 2 Mike 3 Raph 4 Splinter 5 April 6 Casey 7 Shredder 8 Karai 9 Bebop 10 Rocksteady 11 Leatherhead 12 Baxter (with Mousers during some attacks) 13 Armaggon (Archie version) 14 Hun (Mirage/2K3 one) 15 Alopex 16 Rat King DLC will be Usagi, Slash, Bishop, Angel (IDW version), Shadow (grown up ninja version) and one of the Foot Elite with regular Foot Ninja jumping in for some attacks

Are people seriously including Alopex? Way to obscure a character. If they're making a roster they would use the most recognizable characters first.
Seriously, no Slash, Rat King, Leatherhead, Rahzar, etc? |

Beside the previously mentioned
One of the neutrinos Human Xever/Bradford Krang Mr Touch/Mr Go Natsu Old Hob Harold For guest character provided if they are still owned by Nick: Power Rangers, Korra/Aang, Batman. Also its not like these sort of games are afraid to use one or two obscure characters, hell Injustice 2 has Swamp Thing

When I think of obscure characters I think of still recognizable like Man Ray, Mondo Gecko, Mutagen Man, or Wingnut, etc.
Nobody is going to know who Alopex or Touch and Go are...seriously. |

I feel as if more people know who Alopex is compared to Man Ray or Wingnut

Though...being realistic, I'd probably say WB/Netherrealm would definitely only give us like 18-20 for the first iteration. The rest would be spread over DLC seasons!

Well, if we're to give an all-inclusive feel to the roster, a Triceraton is mandatory! I agree, though, 20 starting characters or just under that is the most likely situation. And if there's DLC, Usagi will definitely be one. (If I seem to be talking like I believe this game to be an inevitability, it's because I do.)

Though, honestly, TMNT has needed a stronger presence in the console space for the longest. It's a pity that Activision and P*'s game fell flat on its face, and otherwise, there really isn't much else there besides whatever shovelware that went along with the (now) most recent toon and movies. I can only hope that the guys' appearance in Injustice 2, as well as the continued Batman crossovers, is a sign that perhaps Viacom/Nick is willing to co-op with WB in getting some quality games out there. Because if nothing else, WB at least has a pretty competent gaming division, and their wares end up being critical and commercial hits, as well. Getting NRS for a fighter, or maybe that long-seated pipedream of getting Rocksteady to give the boys and their world the "Arkham" treatment...oh, to think of it~!

If you could only pick one, and it absolutely would come to fruition and hit the stores in, say, a year from now, which would it be?
A fighting game by NRS, or an Arkham-style game by Rocksteady? |

A VERY tough choice but...I think while there's definitely a part of me yearning for TMNT Tournament Fighters to have a worthy successor after all these years, I know in my heart that the TMNT brand needs an "Arkham" game more. As much hype as the guys appearing in Injustice has produced, it's great for guys, like me, who already love fighting games. It's a bit more diminished for those aren't, and have no interest in playing competitive games. A TMNT-focused fighter would only generate more in that vein. Therefore, a "TMNT Arkham" probably would generate even more interest. And hell, I think if there was any place (besides IDW's comics) where a more "mature" TMNT could shine independently from whatever cartoon or movie Nickelodeon wants to sell to kids, it'd be an Arkham game. ...Then after that's a resounding success, bring on the designated fighting game spin off!
