TMNT Mutant Melee is out! Its Awesome

[Raph]

Hey guys. Anyone else played Mutant Melee yet? I'm making this thread the official "What is this game??" thread!

Its an strange game. The Grapics are different. They made new models and all. I think they've made them a little uglier. First I even thought is this the real game?
All the textures are Way ugly and low-res too. The Bandana's stick out of the Turtles heads like palmtree leaves.... Its almost like with the action figures, when they bring out those fake ones.

Its pure button bashing, all the way. Its gets so boring. I really dont recommend this game. Even if it is TMNT. But just judge for yourself. Or if you have questions just ask

[Barkworm]

If the game is so horrible, why does the thread title say "It's awesome!"?? :-?

[KROW]

If the game is so horrible, why does the thread title say "It's awesome!"?? :-?
My thoughts exactly. My best guess would be a call to attention.

[TuRtLeTiTaN]

ok well i fell a little better for it not being out for ps2

[tOkKa]

-->> ..so should i finaly slap down some green for a game cube ?? :sick:

..i don't mind really..there are some real slick games i've wanted aside from this TMNT - M.M. one.. but yeh.. why the f7ck they do this with some games..release it on 3 out of 4 major platforms and leave one in the dust (Ps2) ..i don't undertand the logic or f7cked up marketing behind that.. :evil:

[Jonatello]

I didn't know this game was out already

[Barkworm]

My thoughts exactly. My best guess would be a call to attention.
Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure he meant "awful" and just got the words mixed up.

[azure turtle]

Wha? The game's out already? I thought it was scheduled for a March release. :???:

[R-iZZy]

^ Seriously...

I heard it was scheduled for a March release. I have to check this out...

[Demented Utrom]

The previews for game was just up.I thought it was march also.

[Raph]

Sorry about the Awesome. Was a mistake.I did mean awfull. Its so ugly I almost think its a fake!
Konmai cannot get away with this graphics. The Turtles are really fat, and blocky. With a weird grin on their faces. The weapons are oversized and balloonlike.
I cannot believe it. If you compare it with TMNT 2, you scare the hell out of it!!
If you thing of what Konami is capable of (Metal Gear Solid) then this is a BIG joke

[Jester]

where'd u get it Raphie??

[sensei#me]

Damn straight.

[Barkworm]

I don't think you can compare a generic license game to a high budget game like Metal Gear Solid.

[Peanut]

Is this game even out? I'm pretty sure it's March, Gamespot and the like have it listed as such, while EBGames doesn't even seem to have it on their site yet. Are you sure you haven't just played a demo?

[azure turtle]

^ Seriously...

I heard it was scheduled for a March release. I have to check this out...
Ninja Nin!! Dude, I haven't seen you in ages! Hope all has been well. :D

Peanut brings up a good point. I was snooping around EB Games, and they don't have it yet. As for the graphics being horrible... I watched a video clip at Gamespot a few days ago, and they seem to be pretty similar to TMNT Battle Nexus. The bandannas don't look like they're sticking out as you described, and I couldn't seen any grinning expressions... :???:

[Tigershard]

The PC version is floating around on a lot of torrent sites. He most likely pirated it

[Raph]

Yeah I got it from a torrent site. But it is the full 2 cd version. If its indeed a fake. Then that kinda well done. If its really how the game looks. Then Konami just wants to make quick money with another TMNT game. pirate version or not, its is the ISO version (the full install as it would appear in stores later on) and its still to fast after TMNT 2

You gotta agree with me right?

[Tigershard]

Well,I have a couple of comments on what Raph said. I'm trying to remain hopeful that this will be a decent game.

First, usually when you have a port of a game from a console to the computer, the console version looks better. Games are designed to work on a low resolution TV screens, and when you port a game to the PC without creating new textures to take advantage of the higher resolution, it can look very ugly.

As for the button mashing, Smash Bros. is a lot of button mashing also, unless you spend the time to really learn how to play the game. Someone who knows the mechanics of the game and the controls really well can usually always beat a button masher.

[R-iZZy]

Ninja Nin!! Dude, I haven't seen you in ages! Hope all has been well. :D
Wow! Seriously, it's like taking a trip down memory lane! Good to see you again Azure!

And yeah, I saved the preview videos to my hard drive, it doesn't seem as bad as described by the author, though I'll admit that those are only videos... and they made TMNT2:BN seem not as bad as it was (sad to admit, but the game wasn't that hot). This seems more like a game you'd play with a bunch of friends to kill time... who's the best among button-mashing? It still looks fun, nonetheless, if you have a bunch of friends who have this pride/ego game going, and must be superior to the other. This game looks like you can have a few good laughs beating your friend up. I'll get it regardless, the turtle groupie in me is going to force me to. It has pretty good graphics, as far as I can see. And they look like they'll have special individual attacks. I did want a game similar to Tournament Fighters, this will be that game for me!

I have TMNT 2: Battle NExus also on the PC, and its so beautifull. So really its horrible compared to that.

[Peanut]

I'd just like to say, pirating is not cool.

[marleynaki]

Really The Game Is Pirate...hehehehe......
Hey Any Pics For This New Game??

[zkarlette]

-->> ..so should i finaly slap down some green for a game cube ?? :sick:

..i don't mind really..there are some real slick games i've wanted aside from this TMNT - M.M. one.. but yeh.. why the f7ck they do this with some games..release it on 3 out of 4 major platforms and leave one in the dust (Ps2) ..i don't undertand the logic or f7cked up marketing behind that.. :evil:

Supposedly they can only make a certain number of games a year or something like that ....... :ohwell: and the ps2 is releasing TMNT3 in October

[jestergoblin]

as for it not coming out on the ps2, i think its because its intended to be a multiplayer game. With the PS2 only having two controller ports I can understand why they aren't releasing it on the ps2.

[Kazari]

I thought the game wasn't suppose to be out in March.

[jasonorme666]

I got it today, havnt played it yet.

I will let you know what I think later.

[marleynaki]

jestergoblin: With the PS2 only having two controller ports I can understand why they aren't releasing it on the ps2.


but ps2 have a multitap for 4 playes??

[sensei#me]

jestergoblin: With the PS2 only having two controller ports I can understand why they aren't releasing it on the ps2.


but ps2 have a multitap for 4 playes??

I have the multitap for It.
It costs like $30.00.

[marleynaki]

yes...!!


hey raph do you have the game really?? have any pics?? for this....

[Raph]

Hi NAKI,

I tried making screenshots to prove its not as beutifull as TMNT2 , but I get black screens or a small stroke of the image I printscreened

Sorry

[Kazari]

Question is it released in Europe first then the U.S.? *blinks*

[jasonorme666]

Hi NAKI,

I tried making screenshots to prove its not as beutifull as TMNT2 , but I get black screens or a small stroke of the image I printscreened

Sorry

I will have a go.

[jasonorme666]

Here you go, this a pic of the first part.

Ive managed to unlock a few archie comics


http://www.jsofts.com/images/tmntmelee1.jpg

There is no way to enhance the graphics or to choose your spec, thats why its poor graphics.

Although I'm guessing in the retail version (when its released) you will be able to.

http://www.jsofts.com/images/tmntmelee2.jpg

[marleynaki]

thanks....
do you have any with extras characters??

[jasonorme666]

There are loads of characters, Ive met 2 weird aliens one big grey one with a bowl on its head or somthing and a smaller skinnier one.

I havnt watched season 2 of the tmnt cartoon so I dont know who they are.

But there are loads of unlockables.

The game is fun, it takes some getting use to, the combat system is rather weird. and the game can be very frustrating at times.

But its actually rather fun.

So far ive unlocked april and casey, and I can play their adventures now.

[jasonorme666]

Oh yes, and there are loads of weapons that you or anyone else can pick up.

Swords, Axe's, Hammers, Rocket Launchers, Machine Guns.

[Raph]

jasonorme666 Thanks for the screenshots. Do you agree that the Characters look ugly?? Low skin textures, weird grins, bouncy bandana's. No motion capture. BIg weapons, strange shadows.

Its not like azureTurtle said. that the graphics are the same as TMNT2-Battle Nexus.

Oh and by the way jasonorme666, You said that when the retail version is coming out it will be better, and you can enhance the graphics.
I've been downloading games, for a long time. always a month before they come out, cause then the games are already finished, only not yet in store. And always the downloaded version was the exact same as the retail. So it will stay this ugly...sorry

[jasonorme666]

yup, i too have been downloading games before they come out for years, somtimes months in advance. I always notice that they are perfect quality also.

But now and then you do get the odd few that are uncomplete (very rare).

To me this would certainly seem to be missing either a graphics config file or somthing.

All I can say is just wait for the "In Shop" version, and see how it compares, I very much doubt that they would allow graphics like that to be released, ive seen screenshots and videos of TMNT Melee and the graphics are much nicer.


But personally, I am still enjoying the game.. it was quite hard to look at it after playing games like Half Life 2 and Far Cry on full Spec.

But its still enjoyable.

[jasonorme666]

Another picture

Notice he has his mask on.

Some matches he takes it off, and Ive so far met 2 alternative skins.

http://www.jsofts.com/images/tmntmelee3.jpg

[Kazari]

Wow! that's a very good shot of Casey!! *squeals* I think I am gonig to buy this game when it comes out! It looks fun! So what characters can you be in it?

[jasonorme666]

Here is another picture.

http://www.jsofts.com/images/tmntmelee4.jpg

[Kazari]

Oh Lord *laughs* It's that little runt from the Space episodes? Who else can you be?

[KROW]

http://www.jsofts.com/images/tmntmelee3.jpg
What the hell is with the limp-wrist crap?

[Kazari]

True, Krow *laughs* He looks kind of...odd LOL

[jasonorme666]

Ive also managed to unlock April in a Bikini. :o

and here is another pic below.
http://www.jsofts.com/images/tmntmelee5.jpg

[jasonorme666]

All I can say is this is by far the most stressful and frustrating game ive played in years.

[Kazari]

Splinter Q-Bert! *laughs*

[jasonorme666]

Splinter Q-Bert! *laughs*

Exactly what I thought when I saw that level. :lol:

[Kazari]

I wonder if Splinter will say obseen words when he gets hit by the Foot ninjas like q-bert did.

[jasonorme666]

No but when he dies he talks for about 10 seconds and you have wait for him to stop talking until you can retry.

It gets old, REAL fast.

[Ninja Tiptup]

My word... those graphics are horrible. This game better be really cheap and have some nice extras.

[Barkworm]

There has been two months between the game's official announcement and its release. No one should expect anything good.

[Tigershard]

I know I am going to get it no matter what the reviews say. What is bothering me is that I can't find anywhere to pre-order it for console. Gamestop only has the PC version up, and EBgames doesn't have it at all.

[azure turtle]

Geez... I hope Konami tweaked the graphics a bit before releasing it next month. The shot of Casey Jones holding a hockey stick looks awful. The weapon doesn't even look like it's in his hand... More like it's attached to his limp wrist. :razz:

[jasonorme666]

What I will say is dont worry, the graphics will be fine.

I also want to add that I WILL get this for a console as I bet it would be much easier to control and wont make my hands hurt so much.

I still need to buy battle nexus for a console. I only played it on the PC.

[marleynaki]

Ive also managed to unlock April in a Bikini. :o ?????



jajajajajajajajaa really????

[jasonorme666]

yup, her selection pic has her sqeezing her boobs together with her arms. :lol:

[FireFly]

yup, her selection pic has her sqeezing her boobs together with her arms. :lol:

dude you got to get pics of that :D

[marleynaki]

jajajajaja really...any pics??? :D

[Kazari]

Ok now this game is officially gross LOL

[Toonami Tom]

Please post pics of bikini April. I can't wait to see this. :D

[PizzaPower]

Is this just a fighting game like STreet Fighter?

[jasonorme666]

lol, no i'm not posting pics.

I'm going to give you a reason to buy the game. :lol:

[Toonami Tom]

What color bikini does she wear?

[Kazari]

Question...do the turtles fight in the rain at any point? *laughs*

[jasonorme666]

What color bikini does she wear?

I think its red and white stripes.

[Toonami Tom]

Can you plas as Karai in a bikini too?

Also, please post at least 1 pic of April in her bikini. Please Please Please! :D

[jasonorme666]

I havnt came across Karai yet.

If I get time I will post a pic, but I havnt played it in days, i might wait for the official release before i complete it, so I have somthing to look forward to.

[Spitfire]

This game looks horrible.....I guess I wont be getting it

[Kazari]

Nothing has peaked my interest yet LOL

[Spitfire]

Funny how people have it already since every site says it comes out March 1st
Same day as DMC 3 haha fat chance Ill even look at the direction of this game

[Ninja Tiptup]

Well I got it from a torrent but I can't find a way to install it. Could someone please tell me how. PM me if you have to.

[Tigershard]

Funny how people have it already since every site says it comes out March 1st
Same day as DMC 3 haha fat chance Ill even look at the direction of this game

I believe the date for TMNT Melee is March 15th, at least for the PC version. I haven't found any listing for console versions yet. If you have, let me know where please.

[marleynaki]

WHAT ??? he look so gay?? :-?


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v403/marleynaki/casey.jpg

[Demented Utrom]

I will wait for Ninja Turtles 3 instead of getting this game also.This game looks like Smash Brothers sort of but with TMNT characters.

[CyberCubed]

lol, no i'm not posting pics.

I'm going to give you a reason to buy the game. :lol:

If you post a pic of bikini April you'll encourage me to pick it up day 1! :p

[Kid Icarus]

Supposedly they can only make a certain number of games a year or something like that ....... :ohwell: and the ps2 is releasing TMNT3 in October

I don't think that's it at all. The game's designed as a party game... and who has just one other person over for a party? The game demands the four controller out's both the Gamecube and Xbox have. As for the PC version... no idea. I'm guessing since they had the Xbox code (which is really just Windows coding), they ported it for a quick buck.

[Kazari]

I don't know about this game. I hardly have anyone over to play it and i haven't seen any good reason to get the game except for beating up Karai LOL

[Spitfire]

I believe the date for TMNT Melee is March 15th, at least for the PC version. I haven't found any listing for console versions yet. If you have, let me know where please.
I saw it on the Gamestop and EB games websites

[PizzaPower]

They should have realeased it on PS2, I really want it, but I guess I will just wait for TMNT 3.

[Krutch]

Im having the same problem. I downloaded it but dont know how to install it. frustrating!

[jasonorme666]

Well, I'm afriad I wont be telling anyone how to install it.

If you are formilier with torrents then you should already know, but if your not, I'm certainly not going to encourage more piracy.

Your on your own. Sorry.

[Krutch]

Coming from you, thats pretty funny :D

[PizzaPower]

You know what, you all should just wait to buy the game so the Turtle franchise can make some money, jeesh now you knowwhy cartoons get cancelled and all that good stuff, err I mean bad stuff.

[Kazari]

I am going to buy the game probably *laughs* something to keep me busy.

[Krutch]

Exactly. I plan on buying it when it comes out regardless of how crappy it is cuz im a collector. But in the meantime i'd like to know what its like.

[Krutch]

i got it installed now but i have the problem where it says :Konami: then :Renderware: then it exits the program. Anyone know how to fix this?

[Mobius One]

From what Im hearing, though, this ounds like a BS game that some random person made for people to pirate.

[PizzaPower]

no, I had a demo game from konami and it would do that. It would turn of when it just came on like that.

[Tigershard]

So Gamespot finally posted the Gamecube and Xbox versions of Mutant Melee on their website, for $19.99. Price mistake? Or does this mean the game isn't that good and they need to price it lower to sell?

[Krutch]

dont think so. A few other sites like Amazon.com have it listed as 19.99. Smart move. I was considering not buying if it was 49.99 or more...i'd wait til it was used.

[Kazari]

LOL I have no clue. When does the game come out again?

I haven't heard a lot about the game, so it can't be that good.

[Spitfire]

dont think so. A few other sites like Amazon.com have it listed as 19.99. Smart move. I was considering not buying if it was 49.99 or more...i'd wait til it was used.
It cost 20 and it comes out MArch 15th. Im not buying it looks awful....

[jasonorme666]

i got it installed now but i have the problem where it says :Konami: then :Renderware: then it exits the program. Anyone know how to fix this?

This is due to your computer not being upto the standards needed.
Not much I can suggest, but upgrades.

[jasonorme666]

From what Im hearing, though, this ounds like a BS game that some random person made for people to pirate.

No this version is the correct version, I beileve it is just missing a config file to improve the graphics ect.

[marleynaki]

mutant melee have secrets game :how tmnt2??

[PizzaPower]

wow the game will only be 20 dollers, now that is cheap, I wish it came out on ps2!!!

[marleynaki]

no..the game is only for: game cube,xbox & pc :-?

i have a ps2 :x

[Kazari]

then you won't be able to play it :( They are only making it on those platforms. Luckily last year I bought an X-Box

[marleynaki]

yes,i know i am really like play this game... :cry:

but maybe for my pc..

[Spitfire]

Another reason it's not on PS2 is the other systems already have 4 controller ports. Sony are money whores so they still require you ot use multi-tapes. They know not many people have them and that not many people would buy one just to play this game that is clearly more fun with more then 2 people

[Kazari]

But sheesh this game is only $19.99..I saw on EB Games as that. Must be not that good if it's that cheap :/

[Krutch]

jus cuz a game is cheap doesnt mean it sucks. Evil Dead: Fistful of Boomstick and Katamary Damacy are good examples of that.

[PizzaPower]

THe game is cheap, but I have never seen a game come out for only 20 dollers.

[sensei#me]

I am fortunate enough to have GC,PS2 and of course PC.
But my mind is not really made up yet on whether or not I want this game.

[R-iZZy]

i got it installed now but i have the problem where it says :Konami: then :Renderware: then it exits the program. Anyone know how to fix this?
Same here buddy. This happened to me when I had the demo for the first TMNT game for the PC... from the new franchise.

Anyway... I have a GameCube, so I can't complain.

[PizzaPower]

I think I might buy it for PC. or I just might run around looking for a Shredder and foot MOC.

[Spitfire]

Can someone post an honest review on this game? I might atleast rent it if I read anything good about it

[jasonorme666]

i got it installed now but i have the problem where it says :Konami: then :Renderware: then it exits the program. Anyone know how to fix this?

This is due to your computer not being upto the standards needed.

[Kazari]

No actually it is the game on the DVD. Because I have a new computer..and it still doesn't work LOL

[R-iZZy]

This is due to your computer not being upto the standards needed.
Not much I can suggest, but upgrades.
Thanks for the tip... I compared what I had to the requirements... and yeah, I do have some upgrading to do. But since the game is only $20, I actually don't mind buying this.

[Ra]

weird. i never have heard of the game before :ohwell: it's strange considering how much time i'm begging my mom to get the second PS2 game and it's not even out here yet except on GameBoyAdvance. we're both seriously ticked off with waiting :evil: well...i am anyway. my mom is wondering how much longer her sanity is going to hold :lol:

[marleynaki]

and gamespot,gamespy,etc. dont put news pics and movies :-?




http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v309/naki182/ninjaturtles.png

[=GRiM=]

This game looks like sh*t. When is someone gonna make a sweet-ass TMNT fighter that actually rocks? That's what I'm waiting for! :evil:

[marleynaki]

I WILL SEE A GAME equal of: gta san andreas ,kingdom hearts , x-men legends.but not equal.

for example: a game with the turtles ,they can go to the sewers,turlte lair,space,foot tower,apil home,casey home,etc
.the turltes have a levels.
.you can play with one turtle and the rest come to you for help and fight with the bad guys.for example the x-men legends

i know ...this is not possible..but i will like see this :D

[rayfillet101]

like an action RPG?

[Kazari]

Honestly I would like to see a game where you can play levels on different perspectives...and you can even be a baddie lol

[jasonorme666]

No actually it is the game on the DVD. Because I have a new computer..and it still doesn't work LOL

I had the same problem with my old computer.
It doesnt matter if your computer is new, check the requirement needed, it could just be your graphics card or somthing.

Odds are it wont be the DVD unless you have burnt it yourself.

[Kazari]

Well i BOUGHT the DVD and I am pretty my computer is up to par...if more ppl besides myself are having the same issue then it is the DVD's.

[Raph]

I have a GeForce FX5600, and it works fine.

So maybe that videocard is one of the few that can handle it

[PizzaPower]

i know ...this is not possible..but i will like see this :D
Now this sounds like it would be a nice game to have. Why can't knomai or maybe another company make a game like this?

[marleynaki]

Yes :d !!!! Thanks Man

[jasonorme666]

Well i BOUGHT the DVD and I am pretty my computer is up to par...if more ppl besides myself are having the same issue then it is the DVD's.

It could be the DVDs but there would more than likely be a hold on stocking them if they have had reports, much like the WCW game that got called back into shops and then sent back to the distributers.

I have a ATI Radeon 9600 Pro, everything runs perfect.
You wouldnt think these turtle games need much to run, but it can somtimes be your RAM.

[Spitfire]

Now this sounds like it would be a nice game to have. Why can't knomai or maybe another company make a game like this?
Because kids just want simple button mashing

[PizzaPower]

yea but look at Grand Theft Auto. Kids love that game. So why won't they like a TMNT game like that?

[Kazari]

GTA is a VERY VERY bad game for Kids and any parent who lets their kids play it before the age limit are very bad parents LOL

[marleynaki]

but dont same to gta .i just say.similar
in the game the turtle can go to others places.and have levels :D

[Toonami Tom]

Kazari's right, GTA is a very bad game for kids. It's a very bad game for anyone actually. Why do people like GTA anyways? I have decided not to buy an "M" rated game ever because they are just filled with graphic violence and over the top sex themes.

I do support and very much want a TMNT game that has free-roam so I can go anywhere, anytime, night and day as a turtle.

[marleynaki]

I do support and very much want a TMNT game that has free-roam so I can go anywhere, anytime, night and day as a turtle.


yes...if konami will make this.....woahhh :D

[Toonami Tom]

Just think about what could happen, the game could start with the first episode with the mousers attacking the turtles in their old home, then to change the flow of things you could go to Shredder's tower at will right after that in the same episode. :D So you could try and kick Shredder's butt at the start of the game. :D

[Kazari]

That already happens in the 2nd TMNT game :p

[Toonami Tom]

I know that! :D LOL! :) :) :)

[PizzaPower]

if you can kick shredder's butt in the beginning of the 2nd tmnt game? Tell me how please!

[Kazari]

You start off with the Return to New York Part 3 episode LOL

[PizzaPower]

to tell you the truth, I don't remember, lol. I guess I am going to have to go and play the game again. lol.

[Kazari]

LOL I need to too! I want to get to the Battle Nexus Tournament Level but I gave up lol

[PizzaPower]

Oh that was very hard for me to do. I had help with a friend though. heheheh. Even though I have not beaton the battle nexus tournament yet. It does have a story line to it.

[Kazari]

REally?? Gah!! I am stuck with the foot level! I am trying to get there! It took me forever to beat the Monster level.

[PizzaPower]

Oh god did that foot level take me a while. But the hard level to get through is fighting 2 ultimate ninjas at one time. And then they duplicate into 6!!

[Kazari]

OMG!!! 2 at a time!! *squeals and dies* WHAT level is that???

[Ra]

don't keep us in suspence! :lol:

to be truthful, i have finally completed game 1 :D :P :D all you have to do is choose your cheat codes wisely and staying alive is no trouble at all. but enough with the old. tell us how hard it is to fight to UNs at once :)

[Kazari]

The only thing that sucks about game 2 is that the cheat codes dont work for the tournament mode. you fight the UN in the story mode as well and he tries to run you over with a truck in an alley but the cheat code works so I don't die.

[marleynaki]

The only thing that sucks about game 2 is that the cheat codes dont work for the tournament mode.

yes.i cant finish the foot tournament.. :x

[sensei#me]

Now if there was a TMNT game similar to SPIDERMAN2 with the concept of "go where you want ,do what you want" that would be very popular.

[marleynaki]

spiderman 2 . i dont like.

[PizzaPower]

OMG!!! 2 at a time!! *squeals and dies* WHAT level is that???
I think it is level 6 or 7.

[Kazari]

Okay..it didn't come in today so I guess I'll check tomorrow..I called around everywhere and no one seemed to have it.

[PizzaPower]

what is it that you are talking about?!?!

[zkarlette]

thats so weird it was supposed to come out today

[Kazari]

Mutant Melee didn't come in today and neither did the Alien Invasion DVD.

[PizzaPower]

well to tell you the truth, i cannot find any of the tmnt dvd's anymore at all.

[Krutch]

yeah EB Games said it comes out tomorrow. Cept they told me it was about 59.99 canadian, so i'm really hoping that part isnt true...

[zkarlette]

got back from eb apparently they have it until tomorrow :ohwell: why do they say 15 if theyre not gonna do it, the site already has it

[Kazari]

I hear ya I was about to ask them the same question. I don't get off of work tomorrow till 5pm so I'll have to fight mall traffic. But it sucks because I was looking forward to it all day today.

[Tigershard]

Usually if it isn't a high priority game, they won't have it on Tuesday. Why pay the extra shipping costs for something only a few people will buy immediately?

[PizzaPower]

hwy can't you guys just order it online if you want it so badly.

[Tigershard]

hwy can't you guys just order it online if you want it so badly.

To get the game it arrives the same day in stores, you would have to pay around $10 for next-day shipping. That raises the cost of the game by 50%, and in my book, not worth it.

[Kazari]

It's all good. I am not that overly excited for it ,I am just really bored at my house and something ot look forward to in order to keep me get through all my training at work LOL. It should be in today. It better because if it comes in tomorrow I probably won't pick it up till Saturday because tomorrow I am coming straight home from work to see the Donnie episode.

[Kazari]

I got mutant melee yesterday! So far I unlocked Casey and April in adventure mode and another version of Casey. What other characters have ppl unlocked? I REALLY love the quotes that the guys say! This game is almost as good if not better than Battle Nexus! But it is kind of hard.

[PizzaPower]

you don't have to have the game when it first comes out do you? You can wait about a week to find it or just order it online and you don't have to have next day shipping either.

[Kazari]

DUh me! LOL I looked on the back of the game and it shows all the characters you can be. Looks like other versions of Casey, Hun and Shredder. No Usagi or the UN *poutz*

[PizzaPower]

you have the game?@?@? Is it fun to play, tell me please!

[Kazari]

It's kind of hard but I love it! THe characters interact with one another! They have a lot of great quotes and its random so you don't hear the same thing over and over again! I am disappointed tremendously by the unlockable characters because I think they should have NEW characters off the show and not just other variants, but oher than that I love it.

[R-iZZy]

This game is fun as hell!!! I guess when your expectations are lowered, it's easy to be impressed. But I happen to like the game. I invited a couple of friends over, we all had fun. I just got it yesterday. This game is pretty fun when you have company. And the Adventure Mode ain't SO bad... I happen to like it!

Plus... it's 20 bucks... what's not to like about that?

[marleynaki]

i will like have the game :x ( rrrrrr!!!!! i have a ps2)

[PizzaPower]

Dude I feel your pane so badly!! I want the game to but I have also have a ps2!!!!

[DonnyMikeyRaphLeo]

The game is cool.

I beat the story mode with Leo and unlocked Splinter. The mini games are fun too, it'll be better tomorrow when I hang out with my friends and don't have to play against 3 computer characters. For $20 it's a cool ass game.

[Ninja Tiptup]

The one liners in this game are insanely funny sometimes. While other times they can be taken ENTIRELY WRONG.

"Quick and dirty, that's the way I like it" - Mike

"In and out, nice and fast" - Don

"Woah there's a tooth caught in my nunchucks" - Mike

Mike has the best quotes for sure but Donny has some good ones.

The bonus materials are pretty lacking. The "Other Media" section has some funny clips in them. They are the same kind that once aired on the Fox Box during commercial breaks. You know... the ones that looked like the game but not quite. Yeah the CGI ones. The comic collection is neat but the Mirage stuff is SUPER costly.

Varients were a terrible idea IMO. The only cool one is Gold Shredder because of his special attack. But most of the others could have just been costume changes. Though there looks like there is four super special slots (unless those are just four different slots to use to make the selection random) which could possibly have something worth while in them.

Some of the levels are neat but several are just empty space... I like the interactive environments though. Those put an interesting spin on things.

What's the deal with those "mutants"? Why not use ones that were actually in the series?

It's good for 20 bucks and I would have bought it even if it sucked because I like to have all the TMNT games. But for a multiplayer fighter it lacks options and a good character selection. And some of the fights are a HUGE pain in Adventure Mode. It should be a decent party game though. More so than Battle Nexus but I'm thoroughly annoyed that you can't turn off bots unless all four competitors are humans.

[Kazari]

Yeah *laughs* I blinked at the Don one LOL. Course my hentai mind.

[Spitfire]

Oh my god those are insanely funny I wonder if someone could make audio clips of them saying those perverted lines

[PizzaPower]

yes, please I would love to here them. Is any of the old tmnt games unlockable in it??

[tOkKa]

-->> http://www.linksquitters.com/images/horses_ass.JPG

well.. d4mm i guess i better finally break down n' get a Game Cube..

..it's little and i've always wanted Luigi Mansion anyway so..

.. it wouldn't hurt to have another d4mm console cluttering up the joint.. would it guys ??

.. I just don't want the PC version of this game..

.. does that make me a bad snapper ?? :dead:

[Kazari]

I don't have a microphone anymore, if I had my old computer I could *laughs* I know what I could do!!! ONCE I get my dVD recorder...i can record some of the game play onto a DVD and then transfer it to my computer and make the clips from there!! I'll get to that once I get my recorder!

[PizzaPower]

I would buy the pc version of the game, but seeing I have NEVER seen any of the tmnt games as pc versions anywhere I don't think I will be getting the game. I will just have to wait untill tmnt 3 comics out on ps2.

[Mobius One]

Hah, this game is alot better than I expected, but when there are padlocks on the completed levels, what do you have to do to unlock whatever is there?

[Demented Utrom]

Off TopicI have a DVD recorder already. Since January.I prefer it to a VCR.It works quite well.No more eaten tapes.You can erase it when your done with the recording.

On Topic I'm wanting for Ninja Turtles 3 also.

[PizzaPower]

may I ask why you even posted that here? that should be in another topic. TMNT 3. i am guessing is going to be season 3. I woud like it to be a different story though.

[Kazari]

Because dude I ws talking about how I am getting a DVD R :P

so that way i can record more stuff from my tapes and games to make better soundclips! hopefully if i can get my DVD R out soon i can make the soundclips from this game!

[Demented Utrom]

I will check if the DVD recorder can record game videos.Probably Tomorrow.I don't know if it will work.Games have anti record devices on them to.I tryed tonight it does work.This is one hooked up to the TV.I used Gamecube to test it.

[Kazari]

I'm not recording the game...im recording game play from my tv. It's like taping it from the vcr, which i can already do.

[PizzaPower]

well I can't wait to see the stuff. Could you post a pic of april to??

[Demented Utrom]

I meant I recorded a gameplay video on Friday.Then I erased it.My DVD recorder has 3 line in rca s video jacks.It was for 4 minutes.Discs I use have 8 hours on them.You need one with input select on it.DVD Rs only allow one recording.DVD Rams and DVDrws allow tons of recordings.The disadvantage of this your computer needs a DVD drive that works with these formats.

if you want transfer images to your computer.The way I have my DVD recorder hooked Tv out goes to TV.Line in 3 is the digital TV box.Line in 1 is the VCR.Line in 2 is not used right now.

[Kazari]

My DVD is either DVD R or DVD RW. Hopefully that will work. It should. There's no extra April character like that guy claimed earlier. I have seen all of the extra characters and there are no April in the bikini that you can play unless he was talking about the bio extra pics that you can buy. I was squealing because one of the extra pics is a pic of Don in his outfit from Fallen Angel.

I am just disappointed by the lack of characters, they have the most random ppl ever like the guy from the Big House who gave the Turtles a tour around the prison and the monster from the monster movie Mike was watching in the Notes from the underground episode. Then you have a flashback Shredder character, Hun from a flashback and an extra Casey one. Also a Foot Tech ninja..I forget the rest.

[PizzaPower]

well when ever you guys are ready to have the stuff posted, I will be waiting!

[Kazari]

Thanks! I am not much good to I get my DVD recorder LOL

[PizzaPower]

when I get mine, I will make some stuff of the first and second game.

[Kazari]

Yeha I have those too! I actually recorded some of the cut scenes from the 2nd game on VCR tape. LIke when the guys all go up against the Elite! they do a lot of cool stuff.

[PizzaPower]

I have a ps2, but how do you record the stuff?? I may do that if I know how.

[Kazari]

Do you have a VCR attached to your tv? all you have to do is press record and it will record off ur screen.

[PizzaPower]

well with my tv, I have to press that tv/video button or what ever to play the game. But I will try what you say.

[Kazari]

Okay..I am not sure about the connection setup with ur TV but ill keep my fingers crossed for you.

[PizzaPower]

Thanks. When I come home from work, I will try it.

[Demented Utrom]

I can try if a DVD recorder works with PS2.I will try it today.I don't if it will work with a PS2.It works with PS2 I'm watching a gameplay video right now.

[DonnyMikeyRaphLeo]

***SPOILERS***





















After playing it for two days, I've beaten all 10 adventure modes and unlocked every melee character. I've also bought all the extras aside from 7 pictures in the Playmates Toy gallery and the 10,000 token Mirage Comic.

Now from what I know when you beat a stage you get either a checkmark (100 tokens) or an unlocked padlock (300 tokens). If you get the unlocked padlock that means you performed an additional task (and the level is finally completely clear). My question is, does anyone know exactly what has to be done to unlock a level?

I know it has something to do with what is said on the screen before the level.

(For example: My friend was playing the second level in Don's adventure and on the prompt before the level starts it says 'Kick your brother's green butt and try not to mess up the apartment.' This was a level I had already beat but he unlocked it by beating Leo without destroying anything in April's apartment.)

There's some that I can't figure out though. I've noticed, although I don't know if this is necessarily right, that for the levels that ask you to defeat somebody (Defeat Hun, defeat 20 purple dragons in 60 seconds, etc.) I've unlocked them by beating the enemies using only the strong attack, A, no special moves or special power or anything else. The ones that say KO someone, on the other hand, I just go crazy and try to defeat them with the special move. Has this worked for anyone else?

I've beat all 171 levels but I still have 42 checked (unlocked) ones. Anybody know an actual strategy for these?

By the way for those who want to know:

10 Adventure modes - Leo, Donny, Mikey, Raph, April, Casey, Foot Soldier, Hun, Shredder, Splinter

22 playable Melee characters - (from the start) Leo, Donny, Mikey, Raph, April, Casey, Foot Soldier, Hun, Sleeg, Shredder, Splinter, Traximus

(unlocked through adventure mode) Gold Shredder, "Monster" (a mutant ala 'Notes From the Underground' series), Large Foot Soldier, Oroku Saki, April (in bikini top), Casey (without shirt), Foot Tech, April (different outfit), Casey (hoodie/jacket outfit), Hun (Casey's flashback Hun)

And the 4 gold slots on the bottom are random slots, one for each player. (Pick it and it selects a random character for you).




All in all for $20 it was a good game. It was fun once you got used to the controls and I played it with friends yesterday and everybody had a good time with it. The only thing is I wished it could have been longer (more characters in melee, instead of just different outfits).

[azure turtle]

All the hidden characters are just costume changes?
Man... That's really, really disappointing. I hope the gameplay makes up for it, but I'm still trying to decide whether I want to get this or not.

[Spitfire]

Im still scared to buy this....I might get it if I have nothing else to buy. After readin what its about and all

[R-iZZy]

but when there are padlocks on the completed levels, what do you have to do to unlock whatever is there?
that's what i was wondering! it sucks to know i don't have 100% of the tokens...

[PizzaPower]

man, I really want his game. I hope to buy it for pc.

[Fearless Leader]

Will this game even be available in Canada?

[marleynaki]

please...pics... :D i will like see any pics for this game.. i have a ps2 :x

[Krutch]

i live in Ontario and EB said it comes in this wednesday

[Fearless Leader]

Thank goodness, I thought it would not get here at all...

[Ferneu]

First of all. That's some really crappy graphics the PC version has.
Maybe it's just because it's running at 640X480. I'd increase the
resolution... if there was an option to do so. Lame Konami, lame...

Second: since today I had absolutely nothing to do, I spent some time
reading this entire thread. At some point one fella here told that it was
possible to unlock april using just a bikini. Later, some other fella claimed
that it wasn't possible. I don't know exactly why he did that, but hey,
until he post that it wasn't possible, a bunch of horny fellas over here
started beggin for some pics.

Well, I've just unlocked her in her bikini and here it is:

Here is her on the beggining of a match (crappy graphics by a mix of
JPEG compression plus Konami and their 640X480 only resolution setting)
