Rated T

[Jonatello]

the boxarts at www.ninjaturtles.com show the new game will be rated T.

[KROW]

Rated "T" for Turtles!

Sorry, had to say it.

[Leonardo_the_sword_master]

Rated "T" for Turtles!

Sorry, had to say it.
hehe.

its rated teen for mild voilence.

[Ecto Jedi]

Holy smokes...that cover art LOOKS AWESOME!! The back even features a screenshot of the old arcade game....Wow, it's about ten times better than the first game.

Totally, totally awesome!

And it's cool that it's rated T now...Though I don't know why it would?? Is this game more violent than the last? And another thing...why does the Gamecube cover say "Only for Gamecube"?

[JDavis]

The "Only For Gamecube" thing is probably just a mistake. It'll probably get fixed before release.

[The Hedge]

It looks like we'll just get the first arcade game, and not turtles in time.
That's a real shame, I would love to have both.

[JDavis]

They may be saving T.I.T. for a possible third game.

[Leonardo_the_sword_master]

cool the arcade. and i guess that the reason its rated T (again) is for mild voilence and like probley scary images for ages under 12 or something like that.

[DrSpengler]

Now this is the arcade version right, not the NES version?

If so, I'll pick up the title just for that. I haven't played the arcade version with the superior graphics and what-not in a decade.

I skipped the last TMNT game after I played the demo and it annoyed me to hell. "Slice n Dice! Slice n Dice! Slice n Dice! Slice n Dice! Slice n Dice!"

If they fixed that problem, then I'm sure I'll enjoy the game.

[KROW]

Oh, hell, I know what you mean. I put the game on mute.

[Ecto Jedi]

Yep, there were a lot of flaws and numerous translation problems in the first game...It's pretty easy to see that the game was rushed and almost unfinished...

Playing it you almost feel as if it's a very early test version...

But BattleNexus looks absolutely awesome. Time will tell if it's a great game, but it certainly looks better than the first...

[Albrecht]

the t rating pisses me off, thats gonna lower sales. It also dosent make any **** sense the first game was E for violence and this one is T for MILD violence :x

[KROW]

Jeez, with all that cursing of yours I wouldn't think you'd care about the rating.

[Jonatello]

Super Smash Bros. Melee and Starfox Adventures were rated T when their previous games were rated E, but that didn't stop them from getting high sales. and it's not like they prohibit kids from buying T rated games (that only applies to M and AO rated games)

[KROW]

That's what I think, too. The fact that it's rate "T" shouldn't matter. It's only because of the violence.

And I've never seen an "AO" rated game. Maybe I'm better off.

[cqb101]

the t rating pisses me off, thats gonna lower sales. It also dosent make any f*** sense the first game was E for violence and this one is T for MILD violence :x

If anything I think it will help the sales. People who last time around didn't get the game because of the 'E" rating and thought it would be childish will get it this time around.

[Ecto Jedi]

Hmm...Good point.

Probably more teens and older people will pick this one up not only because of the great previews all over the Net, but also because of the awesome, mature-looking cover art and the T rating.

[Jonatello]

when I bought the first game at Gamestop, everyone gave me a wierd look

[KROW]

Me too. The cashier gave me a double take. His eyes shifted from me to the game and back again. Must of been my goatee. I have such a boyish face that I didn't think he would notice. Well, then again, I'm over 6 feet tall so....

From the one gameplay video I saw, you should be in luck. It's now mostly grunting, "hee-ya!" types of noises, with a comment made SPARINGLY.

Anywho, without a PC, NGC, PS2, or XBox to speak of, guess I'll be playing the GBA version. WOO! 2D! :)

[Kid Icarus]

Hmm...Good point.

Probably more teens and older people will pick this one up not only because of the great previews all over the Net, but also because of the awesome, mature-looking cover art and the T rating. 'Mature' in video games is a friggin joke. But this isn't the place for this discussion.

I'll rent the game, 'cause the turtles first venture into 3-D left me a little jaded. Although, it is tempting to buy it just for the arcade game...

[NeoBix]

Sweet looking box art for sure... I'm getting it for Xbox, even though I have all 3 systems. I'm thinking about getting the one for GBA, as much as I love my SP.

[Ninja Tiptup]

That box art is a new classic. I loved the box arts for Turtles in Time, Hyperstone Heist, Manhattan Project and the GBA games. It's nice to see something original un-like the first box art which was pretty boring.

T ratings eh? That should be interesting? In truth the "bad guys" in season 2 were a whole lot more "creepy" than those in the first game.

Not to mention they'll probably show Baxter many times with many different erm... bodies.

But hopefully this means the violence will be more fun to watch.

I can't wait till this game comes out. It's gonna to rock HARD CORE.

[Mobius One]

Ive got it reserved at EB I think. If I bought the game from somewhere and someone gave me a weird look and/or said something to me I would just tell them to go to hell or something.

[Karai]

I'm still trying to decide whether I should pick up the PS2 or the Gamecube copy. I have the first game on PS2 and have been pretty satisfied with it. I guess I'll just go with whatever the critics and my peers suggest, because it doesn't matter much to me. It's more or less the same game on all systems, save the GBA.

Get it for GameCUbe. GC's cel-shaded graphics are far superior to that of PS2's, it's a fact.

[Jonatello]

the Gamecube version will most likely have better graphics and load times

[zkarlette]

Gamecube version for sure!! :D

[Demonfox38]

Quad that! If I'm going to pick it up, it's going to be on Gamecube--unfortunately, that's probably going to become a Christmas present. :dead:

[zkarlette]

I dont like waiting for stuff specially when I am already waiting for october for it to come out :D

[NeoBix]

Do you guys think the Cube version will be better than the Xbox version? If so, then I might get the Cube version instead!

[Karai]

Well then, it's unanimous! I'll be picking up the Gamecube version. Thanks for your input everyone. :wink:

[cqb101]

Do you guys think the Cube version will be better than the Xbox version? If so, then I might get the Cube version instead!

The grahics will be better, yes.

[FireFly]

i'm geting for the PS2 (I LOVE MY PS2)

[zkarlette]

PS2 is great except for the loading part

[NeoBix]

yeah but we can wait for the loading lol as long as the game is good. u know what I mean?

[Jonatello]

yeah but we can wait for the loading lol as long as the game is good. u know what I mean?

sometimes long load times can kill a good game

*cough* Chrono Trigger on PS1 *cough*

[batraph]

Actually the xbox version will be the best as far as graphics go. It's the most powerful out of all the systems. And if Konami decides to use Dolby Digital, xbox is the only system that can use it fully during in-game and not just cutscenes.
Of course, it might not be that much better than the other versions. I'm just getting the xbox version to be safe

[XERO]

I'm sticking with my trusty GameCube. :D

Hey, I wonder if they'll have another mini-comic like they did in the first game's manual.

[NeoBix]

true the PS1 version of Chrono Trigger had INSANE load times.. the SNES version is way better.

also Ben.. I really hope they put another comic in there too that would be sweet!! they probably will!

Wrong. The GC version will be better because the game is cel-shaded and cel-shaded games look far better on GC than any other system.

[Demented Utrom]

I have a Playstation 2 and a Gamecube.I will be getting it for Playstation 2 since I have multitap for it.Why is it rated Teen for.Probably since the Arcade game has tons of Fighting in it.

What makes me mad is the screwed up music in the Arcade Game.I have not played it in 11 years.I would like having the real music.The Best music on the Arcade game is The Boss Fight Music and the Technodrome level.

[NeoBix]

Ya we all agree with you Shredder Utrom, trust me. It sucks I know :(

[Ecto Jedi]

In my honest opinion the PS2 version will wipe the floor with all the other versions (at least sales wise) because PS2 is the most popular gaming system.

And who cares about a few extra seconds of load time? (That's if what you bozos say is true, I have my doubts.) I'm a fateful PS2 owner and I'm getting it for my system...And if it's good enough, which I think it will be, I'll get a multitap so we can play 4-player.

Someone please show me the technical specs that PROVE that cell-shaded graphics look better on a Gamecube that any other system (tsk, tsk.)

[Jonatello]

actually, the last game sold best on GameCube according to NPD (over 100,000 in about 2 months)

[Karai]

Since the days of my PSX, I've always had loading gripes with the Sony software, my PS2 included. My Gamecube is much faster.

I believe IGN has screenshots of this game on all the available platforms, so you can see for yourself if you notice a difference in the quality of the graphics. I personally agree with the opinion that the Gamecube has superior graphics.

And please... Don't call us bozos.

Yeah and GC has a faster frame rate giving it better graphics then the Xbox

[KROW]

See? I told you the Gamecube was better when I joined.

[XERO]

See? I told you the Gamecube was better when I joined.

They just don't listen. :P

[KROW]

Of course not. No one listens to me. :lol:

[XERO]

Huh? Sorry, I wasn't listening... :)

[Demonfox38]

:lol: I've said it before and I'll say it again. Nintendo's got just what I want: a system that plays great games! I've grown up with them, and I'm going to continue giving them my business.

Cool that TMNT is T. Slightly less embarassing to buy at Wal-Mart.

[KROW]

Huh? Sorry, I wasn't listening... :)

D'oh!

[NeoBix]

Nintendo ROCKS!

Well damnit.. guys.. now you have put me at a conundrum... I can't decide if I will buy it for XBox or GCube... AAHHH!! *rips hair out of my head*

[KROW]

Keep your hair on. Get it for Gamecube.

[jeff the cheff]

FINALLY I can use my multitap!! I've used it like twice.

They are all cool systems, so get the game for whatever system you have. GC has the graphics...PS2 has the best controller..and XboX prolly has something thats better then the rest but i dont know it right now.

Other then that the games bascially suck

[KROW]

XBox is a stupid console IMO. It was only Microsoft's way to capitalize on the video game industry. I'm a Nintendo loyalist all the way.

[XERO]

Ditto.

But I have to admit, Ninja Gaiden is pretty cool... :D

[GK Punk]

Eh... we don't really need to have another console wars going here.

[NeoBix]

XBox is a stupid console IMO. It was only Microsoft's way to capitalize on the video game industry. I'm a Nintendo loyalist all the way.

Why are you giving the word "capitalize" such a negative connotation? Company's thrive off of capitalization. Business is business, or haven't you heard?

If Microsoft can get money from something new, how is that a bad thing? Besides, the XBox is a great system, and honestly, if you don't own one, you're missing out. The game Ninja Gaiden is reason enough to go out and buy an XBox. If you haven't played that game, let me assure you that it is more than worthy of it's predecessors.

The XBox, just like every other video game system out there, is not without it's flaws.

It makes me sick to my stomach when people criticize a certain video game system just because they do not own that system, or when people have owned it, had a bad experience with it, and sold it or something. Also, if you think a system sucks just because you read something about it sucking or one of your buddies tells you that it sucks, that is not cool, and you should try the system for yourself before you say it sucks.

I love Game Cube, PlayStation 2, and XBox pretty much equally.

PlayStation 2 has the default DVD player built into it, the sleek system design and the ability to stand it up horizontally or vertically, an incredibly vast library of games, and some really fun RPGs, such as the Final Fantasy games. Of course, let's not forget the fact that the system supports backwards compatibility for the original PlayStation games. A lot of people claim that the system's graphics are not up to par with the Game Cube's and XBox's, but I don't think they're different enough to warrant blackballing the PS2's capabilities. I've been impressed more than once with what the PS2 can do.

Game Cube, as everyone knows, boasts people's favorite Mario games, Zelda games, Metroid games, etc. Nintendo has been in the video game business longer than most of it's competitors, and it has an outstanding reputation for coming up with quality games. The graphics are sharp, clear, and beautiful, and the discs are compact, although I'm not sure if that's necessarily beneficial or not. Hardcore Nintendo fans, such as myself, will stay loyal to Nintendo no matter what people say about their products. I know a solid company when I see one. Nintendo's gonna be hangin around for a long time.

Ah, XBox, my beloved XBox... what a great system you are. What's this? I don't need to shell out an extra 20-40 bucks (or more) for memory cards? SWEET! Yes, that's right, the XBox system has a hard drive built into it, which is one of my favorite aspects of it. Sure, the fact that you have to go buy the DVD Playback Kit to watch DVDs on your XBox is kinda lame, but it's not as bad as one might think. I'd rather spend extra money on a DVD kit than on extra memory cards for every time I run out of room saving stuff. XBox also sports beautiful graphics, a grip of great, XBox exclusive titles such as Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Ninja Gaiden, Breakdown, Halo, Halo 2, Fable, True Fantasy Online, and more. Also, in my opinion, the XBox improves upon the games which are also on PS2 and GameCube in terms of graphics, detail, and sound. It sort of makes up for the shortcomings that the same games have on the other systems. Maybe I'm the only one who has noticed this, but I have noticed it, nonetheless.

[KROW]

Don't start.

[NeoBix]

I can't start something that has already been started by you.

Remember bashing the XBox? I sure do. :wink:

[KROW]

Goooooosfrabbaaaaa.

[Spitfire]

I already bought a Xbox except I call it my computer <_<

[Karai]

I already bought a Xbox except I call it my computer <_<
Heh, exactly! :) No XBox needed. ^_^

[NeoBix]

You can't play Ninja Gaiden on your computer though

[Spitfire]

Yeah and I also dont like Ninja Gaiden either. And if I wanted to I could download a ROM of it and then I would play it on my computer. I even have a controller for my Computer so :P

[KROW]

You can't play Ninja Gaiden on your computer though

You can play it on NES. No biggie. :D

[impetus]

at this point it's fairly worthless to debate which system to get it for. Until more detailed specs are given.

GBA link? (GC)
Online Multiplayer? (xbox or PS2)
hardware advantage? (xbox)
bonus items? (toss-up)

able to play on backward compatible next gen systems coming out in the near future... (I'm guessing probably all three will be)

graphics? not as cut n dried as it would seem. GC has better hardware than the PS2, yet countless GC games have been sloppy ports (clancy games anyone?)

on the first game, the GC version was arguably the best. All things remaining equal, 2 will probably follow suit.

[Jet-ski_Ninja]

I don't get it! Why many people say that Gamecube sucks? I'm not saying that XBOX or PS2 suck, but I prefer the GC graphics. Next XBOX. Third, PS2.
It's weird the way how PS2 sold so much. I don't find it anything special on it. It's a little slow. I personally prefer GC, and next XBOX

[impetus]

It's weird the way how PS2 sold so much. I don't find it anything special on it. Backward compatibility, a huge library, good debut timing, and lots of marketing hype all helped. And, sadly, the Grand Theft Auto series really pushed those units out.

I guess I'm an all around gamer. I have a PS2 and GC, and probably will pick up an xbox after the next price drop. Each system has its benefits. Nintendo has the best first party software by far, and xbox is a technical powerhouse with a hard disk drive, nice online features, and exclusive titles like Ninja Gaiden, Halo, Otogi, and Panzer Dragoon. It's also the first stop for many multiplatform games, such as the Clancy titles.

[jestergoblin]

well, the PS2 was released way before the Xbox and GCN...

[Jonatello]

well, the PS2 was released way before the Xbox and GCN...

and the DC was released way before the PS2, Xbox, and GCN...

[OA]

well, the PS2 was released way before the Xbox and GCN...

and the DC was released way before the PS2, Xbox, and GCN...

Good point...

[impetus]

well, the PS2 was released way before the Xbox and GCN...

and the DC was released way before the PS2, Xbox, and GCN...
not to mention cooler than the PS2 - an unfortunate victim of sony's hype machine (and piracy) :(

[JDavis]

And of Sega's earlier stupidity.

[NeoBix]

Well... I do remember that when Dreamcast first came out I was very impressed with Sonic Adventure. Those graphics were so crisp and clear and sweet looking. My little brother had the system but something was telling me that the Dreamcast would not last... so I never bought one, until much later from a used game store, but I don't play it anymore.

Now-a-days I'm playing XBox and PC games... gonna be firing my GameCube up once again when Turtles 2 comes out though. I can't WAIT!

Yeah! Dreamcast died too quickly. Now Sega can only make games to other systems, until they get money to create another system. But back to the GC. I don't know why many people think that gamecube sucks?! WHY? When I ask them, they say that the graphics suck, and thay say that Mario, Zelda, F-Zero and Donkey Kong SUCK! I think people who say bad about GC never played GC before.

[Karai]

The problem that both the GC and the X-Box have right now is their comparitive lack of 3rd-party support to the PS2. As it stands right now, Gamecube has fewer "global" (i.e. internet) peripherals than the X-Box and PS2 and limits itself to its own hardware (GBA compatibility). I still think my boyfriend is one of few people who actually has a Gamecube internet adaptor, mostly because they're scarce and secondly because there are so few GC games with internet support. I think once they get that figured out, people will start giving the GC a little more respect. I love my Gamecube, but I know it ain't perfect.

[NeoBix]

Holy crap Rahzar I do agree with you, and actually your post isn't what I'm saying holy crap about LOL sorry :lol:

I'm saying holy crap because your avatar of Bebop and Rocksteady IS FREAKIN SWEET!!!!!!!!!!

That is one bad ass drawing of them... who the heck did that and where did you get it from please??? WoW!!! :o :o

[Karai]

Heh, you like it? It's actually some fanart I found of them from ninjaturtles.com. I liked it too, so I decided to make it my avatar. :D

[NeoBix]

awesome thanks bud
