Woah, that's really cool!

Can't say I'm optimistic about the gameplay (looks a lot like the 2012 Activision/Magic Pockets console/3DS game), but I hope I can find a place that has one! Let's hope they don't charge $2 or more per credit!

Yeah ... I'm of the same opinion. Not sure how it'll play, but I'll still be interested in checking it out!

Few years too late. I've got low expectations but it's a cool thing to exist in the first place. I'm certain I'll never have an opportunity to play one, so I hope somebody can film a bit of the gameplay.

I wonder how Raw Thrills got the TMNT license.

This is like...5 years too late. Should have come out within the first or second year of the Nick cartoon. Not after it ended.

There been many Raw Thrills arcade games, and they never gotten console releases.

Actually one of there games was ported to Xbox One recently, which was Big Buck Hunter Arcade

This is not "too late", it's market is not kids who like the Nick show but more kids who go to arcades, it looks flashy and fun.

I doubt it'll get a port, it's likely an arcade exclusive and I'm guessing it'll be fun and similar to the Konami arcade games.

New arcade games come out all the time without much press from gaming "journalists" or "hardcore" gamers and many of them are pretty damn cool and fun. I recently played the new Jurassic Park arcade game and it was a blast, I was surprised by how little it was ever talked about.

A licensed game really usually only happens anymore to capitalize on nostalgia or on a current brand. While it being an arcade brawler might tap that nostalgia button, it being based on a show that will be over by the time the game is released isn't doing it any favors. And if it's supposed to be marketed at adults, why would they choose an incarnation where a large percentage of them still snub it because it's not "their" Turtles?

I mean, I'm excited for it. There's an arcade right down the road from where I work; if they get it in I'll be there for sure. But you have to look at things objectively.

Awesome, wonder how accessible it will be, I don't think there even is any near where I live anymore, and if there is , if they would even get the machine.

TigerClaw

10-22-2017, 10:01 AM

I hope they bring it to the arcade section of the movie theater I always go to, not many arcade cabinets in there, but it would be cool to see it their someday.

I also wonder what the levels will be like in the game, surely it will be based on events that happened in the Nick series, but maybe they will have a level based on the crossover episodes? that would be fun.

Maybe the new game can do the Turtles In Time thing, have Renet transport the Turtles to different time periods.

Looks good. Could be a little more fast paced but definitely better than the boring as hell versions we got based on the Nick show. Sometimes making it as an actual arcade game works better than some person making a console game and trying to make an arcade game experience but failing.

Played it today. Got footage of attract mode which I'll get uploaded ASAP. AMA about the NYC level (ran out of quarters before beating Rocksteady but I got through the rest of the level).

It's got some neat ideas and I like the aesthetics but overall gameplay-wise it's much better than a lot of brawlers that I've played, but nowhere near the top.

A recurring complaint against 3D or 2.5D TMNT beat em ups has been the difficulty of attacking diagonally due to imprecise controls and attack targeting. Folks really hated the Turtles in Time Reshelled because of that problem and it similarly confused and upset people who played Arcade Attack. I get the logic, but I never played Reshelled and I own Arcade Attack, and I didn't find the problem a game-breaker. Arcade Attack had its problems, of course, and I think the weird camera angle did more to confused players than the gameplay itself.

How do you think the new arcade game handles that aspect?

Ninjinister

12-07-2017, 05:50 PM

It does 8-way attacking, which is gonna piss off detractors of that feature in Re-Shelled, but I liked it there and I like it here.

Yeah it was at an arcade called Dorky's in Tacoma, WA. I don't know about at the moment, but when they got it in, they claimed they were the only ones on the entire west coast to get the game.

I really want this on any 3 of the major consoles so badly. I grew up on these games, turtles in time, the simpsons, x-men, to name a few. We should start a petition to get them to release this at retail.

Is that common for newer arcade games like this? I know MAME's a thing for old school cabinet titles but I was not aware it still went on today.

They just released this game at my local Round One. It's pretty fun. I'll admit it is harder to avoid enemies since the turtles move slower than in Turtles in Time (although much faster than the '89 Arcade), but having to build up your meter to unleash Turtle Power is very satisfying. I've only played the TCRI level but whatever you saw of that stage through Youtube videos, there's a lot more to it. You actually have a Krang mini-boss before he flys off and turns into Super Krang where you avoid his electric eye rays, ala Turtles in Time.

The demo showed a few other stages such as the Lair and I think there was a Subway stage.

I hope they release this game around your locations because it's pretty fun.

Donaterro

06-25-2018, 06:36 AM

I saw this awhile back, it'll be a shame if its actually fun and doesn't get a console/pc release. Would be great for the switch, too.

Maybe the best we can hope for is a MAME version..

John Pannozzi

Sadly I can confirm it's not at the Game Works in Las Vegas. Kinda disappointing, as I was really hoping to find it there. They still had Turtles in Time though.

The Emerald Square Mall's arcade is named Funstar Family Fun Center, FYI.

I liked the game, but (oddly) I felt the continue countdown went by too fast. I didn't really have enough time to put in 4 more quarters. Has anyone else had that problem (with this game or any other arcade game, for that matter)?

Wretched Reptile

10-06-2018, 01:32 PM

Finally got to play this a week and a half ago with my wife and a friend. It was pretty awesome! I enjoyed the callbacks to the original arcade games and the playthrough itself was definitely fun, though it maybe felt a tad short. The ending *spoiler lol* was a little weird with April beating the hell out of and then kicking Shredder in the face, but it was still kinda funny and charming.

I'd definitely recommend a full playthrough if you're a fan of this incarnation of the franchise. Shame it came out so late, as I imagine it would've been hugely popular if it had dropped somewhere during the end of Season 3's run or the start of Season 4. I also thought it was weird that Splinter was noticeably absent from the game, as I don't really remember him being in it in any way. Overall, a great time at the arcade though. I'll definitely play it again sometime.

As harmless as it would be just to dump this on digital stores, I'm sure the license fee to do so is a much more expensive headache than it's worth.

That was indeed a much better idea, too bad that TMNT2012 is no longer up to date. I would have liked to play the game at home because the videos on youtube indicate that the game is super fun.

Who knows, someone will also start a petition for an Arcade1Up TMNT'12 cabinet :D
