I wouldn't call it a 100% confirmal. But the site doesn't look like a bs site and having both the Konami/Ubisoft logo may make sense in regards to obtaining the original music and sound effects. Either way 4 player co-op online is a beautiful thing.

OH
MY
GOD. PLEASE! I would LOVE this! :D
I hope it's real.

Is it sad that this alone makes me want an X-box?

i wonder if this will make its way to the PS3?

If they added Turtles in Time to this as well, I'd be mighty tempted to upgrade to a 360. I've been waiting to see if Microsoft makes the other Konami TMNT titles (Battle Nexus, Mutant Nightmare, Mutant Melee) backwards compatible before I splurge.

If these are fully-realized ports complete with the original sound effects and music, I'll be royally pissed. Seriously, porting them to X-Box Live intact but butchering them for the console releases? Blasphemy.

That being said, if they're real crappy ports I won't mind at all.

this will prolly be the first XboxLiveArcade game i get. I think the reason Ubisoft appears there on the screen is cause of the background. Plus, my question is, what exactly is the option called 'Unlock Full Game'?

The same thought came through my head when I read it.
Perhaps they give you a small demo so you can make an educated decision of whether or not you want to buy it.

Whaaaaaat?

Konami making the original games as a BONUS unlockable feature.
- Konami obtains previous lisence = Waste money for somthing they can't use otherwise and also meaning less profit money.

Konami making the original games for a complete download that the money spent goes directly to the game.
- Konami and Ubisoft reach a deal. Both make profit and create awareness for the new film.

OMG I wish I would have got a 360 sooner but now I have to wait a little longer :x

Even if this is true, we probably won't see it for a LONG LONG time.
Most likely a couple months or close to a year.

I have always thought it would be a great idea to have 4 player co-op online with xbox live, even with my 4 player cabinet I struggle to get people to play with me (apart from my wife occasionally).

All I can say is i'm definatly getting 200/200 achievements for this, I just hope they are really really hard.

Unlock full game means that the screen seen is of a DEMO/Trial release, unlock full game means you have to pay using microsoft points which then unlocks the full game.

Xbox Live Arcade games always have to have one or two ridiculous achievements. I can see it now, "beat the game without dying" 25 points.

why is that? i think it should be released next month for the tmnt release

I wonder if, like on the ROM, you can mess with the difficulty level of that download. I'd hate for the game to constantly be stuck on one difficulty level.

Thats not just like the rom, thats like the PCB itself, i'd imagine there would be difficulty settings though, I'd like a really really really hard difficulty level, having completed the game more than 1000 times (no really) I'm always looking for more of a challenge.

I've done it before on 1 credit, i'm sure I can do it again. (aslong as they don't mess with enemy patterns).

There is actually a 1 credit run through of the game on youtube, although i've spotted that its a fake due to the increased difficulty settings, level 1 stays on normal and by level 2 you can see the settings have changed and so on.

I was going to post this. Beat me to it. Here's hoping they listened to our petition and the hell raising of TMNT fans who want the original soundtrack and do it this last time. I can understand the licensing on the last one. It was just a throwaway unlockable in a retail product, but this is a standalone release. There will be no excuse, and BELIEVE ME, I want to play this online with all of you.



...then again, it is the Xbox 360. If they replace the soundtrack, we can just "put it back" ourselves. ;)


Here's hoping they get it right. Looking good so far.

Ladies and gentlemen....I bring you teh sex.

thats awesome

FU*K YES!

Haha, beat me to it again. Anyway, it's good to know they heard our cries and restored the soundtrack for it's online release, along with those horribly compressed but oh-so endearing voice samples. I'm feeling DAMN good today! Now I'm dying to download this sucker.

Sometimes,I wish I had an xbox 360 instead of a wii.

not to say the 360 is a bad system, its proven that it is solid, but you know you are a big turtle fan when you want a console based on this...

I am not liking the new movie stuff when selecting the characters....oh well, its good that it has the original music. Online play is not that important to me since the fun part is having people at your house on beat em ups.

However this further proves that TMNT II and IV will be available on the VC with their original music! to me those are the nostalgic versions not the arcade, not to mention the home versions had extra levels.

I already have the arcade versions on the new toon TMNT games, i'm ok with them having different music if i can have the original music on the home versions on the Virtual Console.

Nice, its how it should be, they even kept the white footsoldiers blue tint to their black outfit (unlike the other release).

Will definatly be getting this, can't wait to hear what the achievments are.

Meh, I can deal with the crappy new movie backdrops if the game and soundtrack is intact.

Yeah. Looks like it's set to Normal difficulty.

I saw "Unlock Full Game" on the menu screen. Is that just a demo?

I hope there's an option to change the difficulty. It's really awesome seeing a flood of Foots when four people are playing.

Don't worry. The Difficulty options are available on every arcade title released thus far, though you only get the certified online rankings though if you set them back to the default settings as dictated by the game designers.

Wow...this is such great news...I can't wait to dl this bad boy...you would think it would be released around the time of the movie to maximize exposure...

That's cool, then. THe game's still chalenging even on Normal when it's one player but when you get all four Turtles out there you need more bad guys.

Enemies on the arcade version automatically adjust to how many players there are anyway, no matter what the difficulty is.

Expect to see jasonorme666 on the top of the leaderboard for this game ;)

I know... and it's still not enough for me.

I know how you feel, my cab is set to the highest difficulty, one of the main reason I wanted to do my turtles engine was so I could edit the game and add way more enemies (could even add bosses as normal enemies) :D

That sounds really cool. I could see "mini-bosses" coming out of that.

I have only played the tmnt arcade game once and it was in my childhood. I was chucky e cheese and I saw tmnt and played it then died a bit later lol.

WHen I get a 360, this will be one of the first live aracade games I am downloading.

Hope to play with you guys on live!

Good luck finding players. I mean other then us it will be hard. I can't imagine many adults having this game and playing it with 5 year olds would suck.

that's what I mean, we technodrome members could play together and beat the game.. Wanna do it?

I'm up for it. :D

I hope this isn't limted to just the 360, and will also end up on the PS3's online store. This would definately make up for the altered ports on 'Battle Nexus', and 'Mutant Nightmare'.

Actually alot of gamers would get this. On all of the boards and blogs I visit it appears most are going to get this even if it is nostalgia. It will do well. Probably be one of the top downloaded for a little while. Can't say with worms coming out soon that it will be the biggest this year. There is alot on tap for the system. I want this and Double Dragon for sure when they release. Just think if they can get TMNT out for the movie. Maybe they can get the rights to bring out simpsons arcade in time for the simpsons movie... Dare to dream.

To add a little info since I have a 360 and multiple Xbox Live Arcade games. This game will more than likely be $5.00. There's a slight possibility it will be $10.00. The "Unlock Whole Game" is because when you download a game, they give you the first level, and then you can keep that level forever, or pay the fee to unlock the whole thing and get the online multiplayer and achievements at your disposal. Also, the background is just there because the old arcade cabinets have them. You can stretch the screen however you like or just expand it over the entire border if you want. Also, if this does well I'm sure we'll see the Turtles In Time Arcade game as well.

i have yet to see anything on the XBLA even announced for the PSN. Sony has this wierd rule with wanting to differentiate themselves. Notice that Sony doesn't have any retro games on the PSN either. Plus the entire online code portion of the game would have to be reworked.
