Ninja Turtles 2: B.N Dont wanna play as just turtles?

You dont have to play as just the turtles

Holy cow! It looks like you can play as Splinter, Casey, Karai, and I don't know who the metal samurai is. I wonder if they'll have Traximus and Zog as unlockable characters.

Yeah they're unlockable it says. That other guy is Slasharuu apparently (whoever he is)

Uh, where am I?

CONSPIRACY! :x

Awesome about being able to be more than the turtles. But their mention that the arcade game includes different music saddens me greatly. That music kicked shell. No original TMNT theme for us. :cry:

Aw that sucks about the music change
Anyways with all these different characters unlockable I cant wait to play this game. And it looks like you get to fight Ultimate Ninja :D

*dies* AWESOME! More character-ness! Wow, and I thought I'd had enough when I unlocked Splinter mode in the first game.

And I'm really pysched about the TMNT II: Arcade Game inclusion, wonky music and all.

I'm glad you can play as Casey again, but Karai!? Hell ya!

Yes! *drums on desk* Heh heh, I'm going to have a fun session w/ my sister & boyfriend when this comes out. (Probably going to be Leo/Raph/Splinter . . .or possibly Casey. My sister likes Casey.)

BTW, anyone look at the little numbers above the player's heads? Looks like we may have 4-player on our hands! :D

It was announced from the start that it would be 4 player.

Mmm. Didn't hear about that. :lol: Probably should read Gamespot or IGN more. Maybe not IGN.

Cool to see the Ultimate Ninja in action, too.

who is this unkown warrior is this new guy for the game or will he be in the show

HOLY BOSSA NOVA!!!

I'm not usually one prone to overstatement, but I think it's safe to say that these screens are ten times better than the ones at IGN we've already all seen...Holy smokes, I'm salivating over these pics! I think it's time to get excited --- looks very promising indeed.

This may be the one we've been waiting for.

Wow, this is so awesome. I hope you can play as the four Elite, also, cause thatd be neat, and also, I hope Casey can switch his weapons in this game like the Turtlebot could in the last...like from golf club to two bats or something like that. Thatd be really cool.

Yeah I just had to share these when I saw them!
Im wondering who this new guy is too and whats up with that Ninja Doll looking thing by the life bar

so you can play as one person, and them pick your team is that right

By the way, has anyone seen the new videos?

HOLY CRAP THEY DON"T SAY THE SAME THING EVERY 2 SECONDS.

Yeah you wull be able to play as a team of 4 even with just 1 person
Hey Sonic could you link us to the videos? I havnt found or seen them yet
Thanks ^_^

I wonder what type of licensing ordeal would prevent Konami from using their own original arcade music and voices in the home console version of the game.

Of course, ridiculous legal matters like this are puzzled over all the time, but it still interests me for some reason.

Didnt Konami make the orgnial games? And Laird owns like all the rights anyways so I mean its not like they cant use it. Im postive he would have given them permission unless he said no because he wants to forget the old show

Spitfire... has Laird stated before that he wants to forget the old show or that he hates it or anything?

And yeah... Konami did make the old arcade games, both of them, so that's why it perplexes me even more.

A lot of hardcore veteran fans of TMNT are going to be disappointed about the music and voice changes. Although, the screen shots of the arcade translation look beautiful, which is a definite plus.

I dont think Laird wants to forget the old show either(Though he seemed pissed that the turtles would fight during the day in the old show alot) thats just the only reason I can see them changeing it
That or little kid fans of the new show will be like 'What happened to their voices their different"

Almost makes me sick to my stomach to think that they would change the music and voices to appease newcomer fans of the new TMNT series.

Spurning the continuity and originality of the vintage arcade games because of something like that is ludicrous.

To be honest I think thats the cold hard truth sadly

if that is the truth, that SUCKS!

by the way Spitfire... what and who is that a picture of in your Avatar?

Yeah I adgree I think the kids need to deal with the old turtles!
The guy in my avy is the singer of Dimmu Borgir. Their a metal band from Europe. That is a short gif taken from their newest music video

-->> N.B. , ..according to what we saw at Stan Sakai's panel in San Diego last month.. you should also be able to play as that lil' rabbit friend of yours..

I really wanna know who that new ninja dude character person is.....I hope we get a figure of him, too.

When you go to http://www.gamespot.com/gamecube/act...w_6105416.html a little video will play on the page. It's not very big and very detailed, but you'll get the idea of the fact that they make more "oof" noises rather than "suck on my sword!" or stupid stuff.

Well all hope may not be lost...They won't have the exact music from the old arcade, but maybe there's a chance they'll create some new "old-school" stuff?

Just a thought here, but maybe it's the exact original compositions from the arcade they can't use...But perhaps they'll create some new stuff using the old toon music and everything??

Holy crap! That looks awesome!!!! Thanks for posting that! I love the idea of switching between 4 characters thats sooooooo cool! This will be the turtles game we all have waited for

Cant wait for that game to come out :D I loved the first one and this one looks even better :)

wait the turtlebot can chance his weapons how

The Boss Fight music was created by Konami was is not in the Arcade remake so was the Technodrome music.Konami owns the rights to the Arcade games not Stupid Artisan Entertainment who should sued for holding onto the rights.When the origional creator actually owns the rights to everything Ninja Turtles related.

English, please.

I think that they couldn't use the old music and voices because Mirage doesn't own the rights to the old show and the theme song from the old show, that company MWS owns it, so that might be why.

Whatever the case may be, I hope they don't fill the remake with tunes from the new show...Gosh-darn it, we old fans deserve to hear the old show theme!

And I hope they at least try to make the tunes sound 16-bit...It'd be a bit wierd playing the arcade and having new, digital-quality music that wouldn't fit.

Oh, no.

By replacing the arcade game soundtracks... I hope they don't mean the WHOLE THING.

I can understand the classic TMNT theme, probably being owned by Mirakami-Wolf-Swenson, or Pizza Power...

But God, replacing some of Konami's original mixes, like "Fire! We gotta get April out!" "Alleycat Blues", and "Bury my Shell at Wounded Knee".... That'll stink like all heck! ;-; I hope Konami can at least keep SOME tunes in!

Okay, whoa...Isn't it just the original TMNT arcade that's unlockable?

"Bury my Shell at Wounded Knee" and "Alleycat" blues were from TMNT: Turtles in Time...

They didn't change the music and voices to appease newcomer fans. It's probably because Fred Wolf Films own the rights to the old show and NOT Mirage or Konami.
