Future Nickelodeon Tmnt Games

[Utromshredderhater]

What should we expect from possible future Nickelodeon games?

[Eiko]

I wouldn't expect to much. Nickelodeon games are quite boring.

[Candy Kappa]

Ubidoft got the Lisence.

Hopefully they have grown after TMNT the game and reshelled. Perhaps instead of a persia clone game maybe a splinter cell clone.

or *gasp* something original... Or as original it can get since most things in video games have been done

[Utromshredderhater]

I'd be happy if they went back to beat'em up

[psyrusly]

RPG or SLG for a change,i hope.

[Redeemer]

I really like what ubisoft has done they did great on TMNT the game and reshelled. I hope though the next game is multiplayer, a little dissapointed that there was only single player in "TMNT"

[Voidoid]

Expect crap. Ubisoft Turtles games suck. And I'm sure they will continue to suck. KONAMI did it right.

[Utromshredderhater]

Agreed, But is KONAMI even still around?

[Voidoid]

Uh yes? They just don't own the Turtles license anymore.

What's an SLG? I tried researching this initialism, and all I get is that it's a rare way of referring to sim games - which doesn't make any sense for Turtles.

as long it was on mute that is, it was a pretty standard/basic game

I actually like all the Konami games I've played, even the much loathed Mutant Melee. I think the Game Boy Advance games are probably better constructed than the console equivalents as far as actually gameplay goes, however. I really enjoyed the first GBA Turtles game. I reminded me of the original NES game a little bit.

[The Stryker]

All of those games were awful and barely playable. But I guess people liked the 2k3 show despite it's overbearing sh*ttiness so weirder things have happened.

[Candy Kappa]

I'd like to see a TMNT Ubisoft game that uses Splinter Cell's sneaking mechanic. The Co-op on the last game was fun and I could really see a Turtle game like that

[psyrusly]

Hi,if not mistaken,SLG are games like final fantasy tactics that battle is grid/tiles based,how many steps,then attack range is how many grid.Those with RPG level up element Incorporated is sometimes called SRPG.

[Brodie]

:roll: new metal gear coming out, castlevania... several other games

And those development teams wouldn't ****ing touch TMNT.


Ubisoft did decent enough with the 2007 movie game, I enjoyed that more than any of the ****ing 3d Konami games.

You all should just hope that someday someone will treat the TMNT property in game form with even a fraction of the care that seemingly went into War for Cybertron.

I had that game. You can turn off the vocals while keeping the music and sound effects on. Problem solved.

[Ninjinister]

Why are people not allowed to like things anymore? God damn.

Did you completely miss the point here? Kiwamu was answering someone else's query regarding if Konami was "still around". Has nothing to do with development teams.

[Brodie]

I didn't miss the point, at all. I was just saying that those development teams at Konami, WHOM I'd like to see do a decent TMNT game -won't-. I know he was just reiterating that konami exists and is going strong.

Instead you get the B-Team. And that sucks.

Yes, Konami still exists and does decent ****, but the stuff they did for TMNT was lackluster.

I just wish we could get a TMNT game with the Assassin's Creed engine.

Anvil. Same Engine used for the latest Prince of Persia and Ubisoft are the owner of it. But the Unreal engine works fine as well. Nut the Engine ain't gonna definel if the game is good or not.

It would be interesting to see a RPG element in the next turtle game, but instead of leveling up they could use a similar system like the pnp games from World of Darkness. Maybe it's just me being on a Vampire craze that thinks so.

You know what one thing I'd love to see in a game at last? Playable Bebop & Rocksteady. I've wanted this for 20 years, and there has been several opportunities for it to happen, but we've never been given the chance.

I guess this factor is entirely reliant on whether the new show has them in the cast, or if Nick is willing to use characters from previous incarnations in their merchandising after the new show's release.

I agree with you here. I never understood why Bebop and Rocksteady weren't playable in Tournament Fighters, but just used as background props. Makes no sense.

[gobo]

The Mirage crew barely tolerated 'em. What's not to understand? :-?

[Ninjinister]

The Mirage crew barely tolerated 'em. What's not to understand? :-?

The Tournament Fighters games would've been able to use them. Technically Smash-Up should've had a chance, too, but that roster was effed in more ways than just not having B&R.

[Voidoid]

The Mirage crew barely tolerated 'em. What's not to understand? :-?

What does that have to do with anything? They were in the older Turtles games whether Mirage liked them or not. Konami made these games, not Mirage. As I stated, Bebop and Rocksteady should've been in Tournament Fighters.

[Candy Kappa]

Bebop and Rocksteady fits as bosses. As for Tournament Fighters, I don't mind that they where not in it, making place for other characters

[sdp]

THQ tends to do most Nickelodeon games and from the little experience I've had with them they are below average, if you enjoy the franchise you might get something out of it but they aren't anything to write home about though at least they aren't unplayable messes.

Konami may have done great TMNT games in the 90s but they didn't do much with the IP in the 00's. In fact I'd think the new THQ games will likely be on par with the quality of the Konami TMNT games of the 2k era. So yeah I wouldn't necessarily want Konami to have the franchise back.

Ubisoft may still have the license though, and while we were all happy Konami had lost the license I think Ubisoft did just as bad with the turtles as Konami did.

[Thunder Chunky]

I remember hearing about a year ago that there was a turtles game being made and you were gonna be able to free roam around the city n stuff in it i remember it being in a video interview with someone but i can't remember who but if it's gonna be nickelodeon doing the games then i guess that idea must have been scrapped because i can't see them doing a decent turtles game

Really glad you're here. We need more people to hate nickelodeon's TMNT despite it not even existing yet.

That sentence is pretty hilarious. It makes complete sense. Perfect sense.

Clearly that idea was scrapped because they'd never make a decent game.

[Candy Kappa]

"This game will be decent! Throw it away!"

[BentonGrey]

http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=30566

Well, my mod isn't actually freeroam, but I strongly considered that before I began. Freeroaming is something that is now do-able in Freedom Force thanks to some brilliant community members. I thought about just building a "New York" set of maps and setting the player loose with four Turtles and a city full of Foot Ninjas and the like. In the end I decided I wanted more control over the story, though. Maybe one day...

As for a new game, I suppose what it will be like will be really heavily dependent on what the new show will be like. I'd like to see a balance between the original toon and the modern one, but I suppose that's neither here nor there. What I really want out of a new game is relatively simple: A big cast of characters, both in terms of villains and in terms of heroes, four player cooperative, and NO freaking cell-shading.:twink:

[oldmanwinters]

and NO freaking cell-shading.:twink:

lol, I can remember back when cel-shading was a graphical novel in games (Jet Grind Radio on the Dreamcast for the WIN!). Now days it seems every property based on a cartoon just has to cel-shade their character models.

[BentonGrey]

Yeah, I know what you mean. You could barely tell what the heck was going on in X-Men Legends because the cell-shaded graphics were so lousy, and while the TMNT game by Konami wasn't quite so bad in that sense, the graphics still looked fairly weak.

[TMNTbrotha65]

ok i think i'll be the first to step in and say that Ubisoft no longer and i repeat NO LONGER has the TMNT license. i'm not sure what will become of future TMNT games but i do know that when i went to pick up Arcade Attack i asked the people at the gamestop what new turtles games we'd possibly get now that Nickelodeon has taken over and they told me plain and simply and loud and clearly "Since the buy out of Nickelodeon, Ubisoft no longer owns the license to the turtles video games." so with that said, the only other company in mind is THQ since they're associated with nick.

You're trusting the word of a GameStop employee? Really?

We've heard no official word and Nickelodeon said they will make the best effort to continue to honor all existing contracts. Since we have no idea when Ubisoft's contract has/will run out, we can only assume that Ubisoft still has the license until further notice. Is it necessarily true that they do? No. But we haven't heard otherwise. Trust me, I've been a GameStop employee, albeit temporarily. They aren't known, on the whole, for being fountains of knowledge.

[Candy Kappa]

Playmates get to keep the toy license. Why shouldn't Ubisoft keep the game license, theres no official word I can find that tells otherwoise

[Venom]

Sort of sidetracking a bit, but I've been playing Prototype recently and whenever I'm in an open Manhattan setting jumping around buildings and fighting baddies I never can help but to wonder how awesome a Turtles gaem would be if they made one. Don could have rigged the Turtle Coms/Shell Cells to intercept police transmissions, random crimes could pop up, take part in Purple Dragon/gang pushbacks (still part of the random crime mechanism), and of course the Foot would be an ever present force. This would of course be more free roam type of gameplay that players could take part in between tackling main storyline missions.

An open world Turtles game should probably also include Brooklyn, much like Ultimate Spider-Man did, since the setting in the comics appear more like Brooklyn/Upper Manhattan.

They should make a game like Grand Theft Auto Ninja Turtle style. I think it would be cool.

[Candy Kappa]

or sandbox/non-linear game, since GTA was not the first.

[drewizzle88]

I would def be for this! :tcool:

[The Stryker]

Question for the people that think a sandbox style game would be a good idea.

What would they do with all that space? The ninja turtles don't roam the streets at will. They really aren't in the buisness of everyday superherodom so making a giant freeroam space would be a waste IMO.

I think the games work best level based and it wouldn't work at all in a GTA style.

[Sword Slicin' Leo]

that would be cool... get the turtle van,cheap skate...

A free roamer would really be cool the more i think about it

[The Stryker]

But why. I'm thinking that free-roam is just this magical concept that people like to smack onto ideas to make a game better even when the subject matter doesn't lend itself to that style of game at all.

[Candy Kappa]

a sand box or a GTA clone tmnt game would as Stryker have pointed out have a lot of wasted space. The Turtes can't just go out and grab a burger.

But levels that simulate or give you the feeling of free roaming, having multible ways of doing the levels. having a flexible storyline changing on the choices the player make.

[***First of Two Latin Kings***]

There is a computer game up on Nick's site now if anyone cares.

[oldmanwinters]

Ah, you got me all excited about the possibility of a new game, but it looks like it's just the old TMNT: Double Damage which Ubisoft threw together to coincide with their release of Smash Up.

[Ninjinister]

RE: GTA game - If it's fun, who cares? It's not like logic is a strong point in TMNT.

[The Stryker]

But logic is a big part in game design. Having a ton of space with ninja turtles wouldn't be fun because they can't get around fast enough without taking away the whole ninja thing.

They need to get around to making a GOOD Ninja Turtle game first before they try putting them into different, more ambitious genres.

[Ninjinister]

Aye, I suppose that's true. I could actually see a more '87-ish, Mirage vol. 4, or Fast Forward game taking this sort of genre, but what are the odds we'd ever see anything like that?

[BentonGrey]

Yeah, a complete sandbox game wouldn't necessarily work for the Turtles. However, a game where you had a New York and sewer system that you could navigate with various vehicles, that would be fun. The Cheapskates, the Party Wagon, and the Turtle Blimp would all be pretty neat to pilot. If the game was built more like Spider-Man II rather than GTA it could be more plot driven and less of a sandbox. There would be less ways to get ahead, but still a world to explore. There could even be a mechanic to deal with the Turtles exposure to the public. If you get sighted too often there could be penalities to encourage stealthy play around witnesses. The ability to zoom through the sewers on Cheapskates or battle in the skies with the Blimp would be relatively awesome.

[Kendamu]

If I had things my way, Nick could do whatever they wanted with the Turtles as long as there was also a game here or there similasr to the Scott Pilgrim game (which would make it like an even better version of the '07 GBA TMNT game).

[Xav]

Konami may have done great TMNT games in the 90s but they didn't do much with the IP in the 00's. I don't get your point they made beat 'em up games which was pretty much the same thing they did in the 90s.

[Candy Kappa]

The Stealth system in Splinter Cell Conviction would be awesome to see in a TMNT game.
For artistic visuals, when the screen goes all black and white being hidden the turtles bandanna's could illuminate slightly.

The interrogation move could be implemented too, making the turtles act to their character talking to the guy they have caught

Shell yeah! :D

[The Stryker]

So you want it to be a pretty flat beat em up that does nothing new and is completely about nostalgia?


....Pretty much what TMNT has been for years. Makes sense.

He's saying that Konami is making SH*TTY beat em ups now.

[Xav]

Yeah but what makes the new beat em ups bad compared to the old ones?

[The Stryker]

Level design and controls mostly.

[BentonGrey]

Level design and controls mostly.

And, in my opinion, cast. They generally have a less interesting cast of minions, villains, and allies than previous iterations. After the third level of beating up street punks, I'd like some variety. Even the Foot aren't as visually or tactically interesting as the rainbow colored soldiers of the arcade and console series.

[psyrusly]

Would love to try something that allow player to control the whole band of 4 turtles or more guest characters like casey or usagi.Aside from the JRPG,systems like Baldur's Gate or X-Men Legends might be fun too.Or may be point click rpg like Diablo that allow local lan or online multi player for 4/more players to link.Customizable equipment,level up or skills/moves learning. Just me tho.

[Panda_Kahn_fan]

I'd like to see another side-scrolling arcade-style beat em' up -in the style of TMNT II: The Arcade Game, TMNTIII The Manhattan project, and Turtles in Time- for the Wiiware. I'd also love to see another Turtles fighting game, as well. This time, both games can have the OT characters in them because Mirage isn't around to say no.

[Andrew NDB]

A sandbox GTA-style TMNT game could work. Like, primarily you travel through the sewer systems to get to various destinations instead of streets (if you are invading the Foot's Hudson Block HQ, you would enter it up through the sewers, for example).

If they really wanted to allow you to go aboveground it could be like in GTA if you automatically had two stars on your Wanted level -- people and cops start freaking out if you're seen and it's more trouble than it's worth (to stay aboveground).

[Spitfire]

I've always said a stealth based sandbox TMNT game would be awesome. With rooftop travel where you jump around and climb on stuff like in Assassins Creed

So an entire game where you're pretty much forced to be in the sewers. That's like making a Batman game and having 65% of it take place in vents.

Wait.

I say keep it level based. Sandbox would be useless and probably really dumb. The whole point of sandbox games is to create an interesting world that feels alive with dozens of things to do. There is nothing interesting in the Turtle's city besides the Turtles themselves.

I would love to have a game like this, bc the turtles are ninjas, which are assassins! I would love to have them jumping roof to roof and using a lot of stealth in the game, but I would love to have some beatm up moments as well in the game, be able to upgrade ur sewer lair as well would be awesome :tcool:

[AquaParade]

A better version of Tenchu Z, would be ideal for me.

-Level based, but wide enough to give you options when it comes to sneaking around.

-A fighting system that doesn't require ten slashes of a sword to kill.

- four player online co op....lets leave the "create your own ninja" out of this one:lol:

yea...I'd say the Tenchu Z outline would be about perfect, for me.

Has anyone else played through the re-release of TMNT : Turtles in Time " Re-shelled " ?



I played through it on Ps3 and got all the trophies , it was impressive. They really did well at Re-vamping the graphics from the old game but keeping the old feel.

It's in no way a new game or anything , but it was still a fun play through

well look at the bright side, in 2012 when the next big nick toons unite come out and the kids come running up to and ask to play with them, theres a good chance you could play as one of the green machine.

I think they should just do some justice to TMNT 2 the arcade game, i bought battle nexus for that, boy when me and my 3 friends went to play.... we, more me felt screwed.So i think it should get the re shelled treatment.

As far as new games, i think it would be swell of nick to make a game based off something like turtles forever, but with a better more intense story.You could play as the OT turtles, 2k3, and the Mirage turtles, and what ever their "Turtles" are, they could even put a vs mode in.But well probably get a sponge bob clone instead.

Expect crap. Ubisoft Turtles games suck. And I'm sure they will continue to suck. KONAMI did it right.

Wow -_-..... We to be a jerk about it..... What ever its my opinion, I think that Koonami did a pis poor job on the 2k3 games, I dont mind modern beat um ups, but when u can beat the game by using just two buttons then it gets boring :roll: That is why they went to ubisoft .
