http://www.gamesarefun.com/news.php?newsid=4241

Release date: Spring 2005
Genre: Fighting
Platform: Xbox, GameCube, PC CD-ROM

The perfect game for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fans, TMNT Mutant Melee is the ultimate TMNT party experience. The game offers hours of bashing, crashing and trashing fun with more than 20 playable characters, a competitive Adventure mode and a huge variety of mini games and unlockables. Gamers can play as their favorite Turtle, Casey Jones, April O’Neil, Master Splinter and even the villainous Shredder in one of two different modes – Adventure Story or Melee Match. Players can take on either mode in single player or play with up to three other friends for a four-player free-for-all.

actually it seems almost like a complete Super Smash Bros Melee rip-off. Not that thats a bad thing

Woah! That sounds awesome! Thank You for posting this. Im excited already. I would love to see them take it in a new direction

:D
...
This is awsome news... I agree with KROW.. sounds like Tournament Fighters 2.0 to me too... can't wait to see some screen shots...

:D

While on the topic who do you guys think the 20 characters will be. They already mentioned the main ones. Who else? Zog? Trax? Leatherhead?

Flipping Awsome!!

Super smash bros is one on my fave games its very fun with 4 players

i was thinking they should make a game like this not to long ago.

ooh...

I REALLY hope that they make this withOUT all the lil voiceovers with every single hit... "turtle tornado" "mikey's in the hizzouse" "I'll be the stick, you be the ball" and "Come get some" are Really annoying... :sweatdro:

I AGREE 100% those got very anoying. imagine 4 people playing that would be extremly anoying

WOW Im buying this already just from seeing those

make sure you watch this video

Hmmm not on PS2, well I'm most likely not going to get it anyway's I was kinda dissapointed with the First one and I didn't even get the second, give me TMNT IV for SNES any day. :D

What worries me is how similar the graphics look to Battle Nexus, and the short time frame between game releases. It is ok if they are using the same graphics engine, but they better revamp the controls/combo system, it was a real pain in the shell.

You know since this game is comming out in March, which is not even close to a year after BN came out, maybe they spent their time on this one. What Im saying is, maybe the put more time into this fighting game and BN 2 was like the test out for the game engine or something. Anyways it looks really fun! And I want to buy it

COOL!!!

...Although I'd say this game looks more like Power Stone 2 than Smash Bros.

Arrrgh... this looks like compilation of recycled stuff from the previous games.
I don't how successful this game will be, but so far, this sounds way too much like "Rayman Arena" all over again for me.

ouhhhhhhhhhhh :evil: i have a ps2

So do I, but I guess I'll have to settle with the PC version.

Then it's clearly time you get yourself a GCN or an Xbox (both are much better systems, but obviously they have less titles available seeing as the PS2 came out a year before them).

This is a dream come true. I've always wanted a TMNT game like Power Stone / Smash Bros. and I've even made character lists for such in the past (some of you may remember those). This is a must have.

Is Konami not releasing on PS2 because they don't want to deal with the whole multi-tap box to get four players? Or it could be that TMNT is not selling well on the PS2?

Who knows? Maybe they'll eventually release it on PS2. The PS2 version of Viewtiful Joe came out a year later than the Gamecube version.

Oh my freaking goodness! This is so awesome! I can't wait for this!

NEWSFLASH!!!

According to the official site, this game WILL be released for the PS2. Though it's not fully confirmed. Mirage CEO is looking into it...

Great !!! a must have , Im glad to have a game to look forward too :D :D :D

-->> :D it's possible but don't give up yet.. Mr.Berger said it's prolly a miscommunication.. Mirage finds it hard to beleive they'd forget the PS2 as it's one of the popular systems..

.. but yeh.. weird things happen in ..

:ohwell:

Konami always favors the PS2. It's suprising in this case but I can't say I don't find it to be a nice change of pace for them.

My guess is the current TMNT games sold best on Xbox and GCN and oddly... PC (it is one of the only brawlers available on the PC at the moment).

They had no problem with releasing TMNT II on PS2 despite not having 4 player ports so I doubt it's multi-tap related. This game could be played with 2 people as well and even just one.

Anyway... if it isn't on PS2 then buy yourself a GCN. They're only 99.99 now and there's plenty of good games other than TMNT for it.

Now on to the game itself...

These characters have been semi confirmed through screen shots and movies.

Leonardo
Donatello
Raphael
Michelangelo
Splinter
Casey
April
Shredder
Hun
Foot Ninja (what a weak sause character...)
Leatherhead
Triceraton (most likely Zog)

But with 20+ we should be seeing plenty more

Maybe some of these..

Traximus
Usagi
Gen (from Usagi Yojimbo's world)
Karai
Ultimate Ninja
Drako
Mortu
Baxter Stockman (some cyborg form)
Bishop
Quarry and/or other underground mutants
Hamato Yoshi
Another Triceraton
Foot Mystic
Foot Elite
Foot Shooter
Mr. Touch and Mr. Go (Ice Climbers style) - that would own
Mecha Turtle
Slashuar

And can I say it would be fantastic if Konami brought back Aska from TMNT Tournament Fighters (on the SNES) for this game? They made her up so it'd be perfectly legal. That'd be a nice bonus for the bonus stach.

It's kinda funny they'd call it Mutant Melee when there's hardly any mutants in the new TMNT. The old show's cast would have far better suited this concept.

Oh man... March can't come soon enough.

It is on PS2, but Im getting it for Gamecube

March is a good month for games now. DMC 3 and this that's a great combo

..??
 

-->> looks like Zat was in one of the Xbox vids.. :ohwell:

wouldn't it be just grand if the TMNT TF game was an unlockable?

That would be awesome! It's just weird that I am hearing about this game like right now..u think since it's coming out in 2 months u would have heard of it sooner than that! I am going to be so broke in March and april lol

Or just buy it for the PC...ur here so u must have one??

What are you talking about? Their games are on all platforms

What if the PC version is like really different and sucky?It could be like the PC version of the Spider-Man 2 game.Hopefully Konami knows what their doin'.Don't want the game to be sucky now.Tournament Fighters would be an ideal unlockable.I played the game before but I don't remember it.Konami should make it so this game is better than Battle Nexus and the first game for the next-gen consoles.

It's a fighting a game.Beat them up game.The screens shown were VS. Match.

I am wondering where people are getting the release date as March. The press release I've seen only says Spring 2005.

The official tmnt site said today that tmnt melee will not be on playstation 2. But in october their will be a tmnt 3 game coming out. 8)
