Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge

[CyberCubed]

A sequel based on the Archie universe now seems more likely based on all these cameos we're getting. Hopefully after this DLC they're already working on a full blown sequel with Archie characters.

Armaggon, Maliga, Null, Verminator-X can all be bosses, and we can see the Mutanimals and the Archie versions of those characters.

I hope Mona Lisa is a playable character, they had an unused sprite.

Here's an interview with some details about the new DLC and how they got Usagi in it.

The new mode will bring a fresh twist to fighting the Foot Clan, introducing new Foot Soldier variants, wild new locales, kooky character cameos, and hazards that will keep players on their toes.

By introducing the new gameplay mode, we aim to provide players with a new opportunity for cooperative play. Playing with a group is an important aspect of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles experience, and it was important to enhance that aspect by offering new ways to enjoy the game together. We hope this new mode will bring even more enjoyment and excitement to the game, and we look forward to sharing it with our dedicated fan base.

So this quote makes me a little nervous that the new game mode is essentially what the Mr. X Nightmare DLC from SOR4 was—a rush of characters to fight in different static background areas.

It was fun for what it was and I sunk a lot of time into it, but if you messed up and didn't get a better score it didn't feel very rewarding, haha.

While the backgrounds and environments look super fun, it makes sense with it being called Dimension Shellshock in that you travel to different Dimensions (static backgrounds) with different characters in the background probably each time with a variety of baddies to fight.

Hoping I'm wrong as I just want more additional stages and stories, haha. Either way, playing as additional characters like Usagi and whoever else gets revealed and leveling them up is a damn treat.

Moreso from that interview I read it as they were focused on him as a reveal first! I think the Dimensions looked pretty expansive from the shots they showed (all those retro NES looking areas, haha) but we'll have to see!

They also confirmed the DLC is all about Usagi, so I don't think we'll be visiting other dimensions too much, focus is on Miyamoto's world. On twitter they did confirm there's more playable characters so I'm guessing that they'll be from Usagi's world as well. I do think there'll be a new story mode but it won't be super long.

But the fact we have characters from the archie comics is saying something, This is first time Ninjara appears in anything outside of the comics, Even if just a background character, Its still quite a huge deal for some including myself.

This might also mean something was worked out over the Ninjara rights, Because we all know that Alopex was a character that was modeled after Ninjara when the rights to her didn't carry over when Viacom bought the IP.

If you look closely at the trailer there is footage of NON-single "splash" screen looking areas. Areas that are clearly meant to be horizontally scrolled by as you move. But these areas don't look too exciting. Like at :38.

I don't think that's true at all. They were able to use all of Steve Murphy's creations except for Ninjara? What would possibly make her a special case, legally? I think IDW just thought the name "Ninjara" was stupid but they liked the general idea of her.

[CyberCubed]

Yeah I don't think these are full new stages. Basically single screen boss rush/battle royale type stuff. Ah well.

We probably have to wait for a sequel for all new levels.

I had always heard that they were wary of Ninjara because they didn't want to be associated with her appearances in furry comics or possibly the Mirage created porno with her.

Those were harmless, though. I don't remember any sexuality there at all, just R-rated violence.

Well, all the Turtles and Splinter and April would be off-limits, then!

Wouldn't those furry comics be evidence that Murphy owned her though?

I didn't know that Ninja Turtles "furries" comics were made.... OMG wtf?

Never had any "Ninja Turtles" copyright or trademark notices that I'm aware of, but...

Only ran three chapters inside an anthology furry "themed" book, but sadly never finished its own story, whatever it might have been.

Well. I'm more educated about what is out on the market now than I was before. So there's that at least.

[Shark_Blade]

USAGI??? Yesssss

[Optimus Primer]

I like that sprite! I'd definitely be down for that; Silver and Dragonlord are too cool to not get revisited.

Now that she's back in canon in IDW, we know she's not off limits.

Well there was a LCD Next Mutation game if that counts.

We actually don't know that she's not off limits. IDW changed Venus considerably and I'm not even sure if she's Mei Pieh Chi at all? Could be they had to change her at least 50% to legally use her.

[CyberCubed]

Considering we're already getting Archie characters as background cameos, if they do a sequel they'll definitely do an Archie universe game. It makes sense too, the Archie series looks the most similar to the original cartoon universe and to casual fans they wouldn't know or think it's any different. You can even still use Shredder, Krang, Bebop, Rocksteady, etc if you want.

Tournament Fighters already mixed in Archie characters with the original universe given we got Armaggon, War, the Archie version of Wingnut, etc. So this would be the same.

Which was always awkward to me, since FW has a lot of characters on its own and Konami had a weird idea to bring most "Who?" characters from Archie series.
Like, who knows or gives a **** about War? Wingnut? Hothead? Why not to bring in Bebop and Rocksteady? Groundchuck and Dirtbag? Scumbug or Anthrax? Nope, let's make new character Sysyphus.

At least they brought OG Karai into a spotlight, before she was infantilized into Shredder's daughter.
