sounds like a fun game, trailer looks good.

CyberCubed 04-15-2013 12:30 PM

Ew, who are those made up aliens/mutants?

LH 04-15-2013 01:04 PM

Can't wait to get this! I like the "TRON" look the turtles have. :tsmile:

It also says you can unlock Dogpound! (Woohoo!!! I hope they add LH in a future update!!!:tgrin:)

Perhaps the wasp is the rumored "Wasp" who was mysteriously on a listing of toys to be received at someones local Toys R Us or whatever it was. The first two seem like a suped up Kraang & Foot soldier respectively, whereas the third is like a generic space alien mutant thingy. Dunno.

Kunoichi_Haruko 04-15-2013 01:48 PM

Thanks for the info, Colonel.
Hmm, this is interesting. Endless cityscape sounds like they only have one level for this game. Or maybe just the one background...
Story sounds a bit simple, but considering it's a game for the iOS, I guess that's fine.
I wonder how much they'll charge...

Colonel Schrader 04-15-2013 02:12 PM

I just hope its a paid game!! i rather pay upfront and be able to unlock the costumes by playing well.. instead of it being that free to play garbage where the game is free and you have to buy costumes and powerups with real cash..
like the 100's of endless runners already on the app store..

I like that you can play as dogpound, hope they add leatherhead, karai etc.. later on.

Donatello19 04-15-2013 03:15 PM

Eh, the game doesn't look that great, I would've preferred a 3D styled runner like Subway Surfers, or even just an arcade like beat em up game. I am NOT a fan of those costumes AT ALL. They're bringing back memories of Fast Forward....those better never see the light of day on the show! It's cool that you can play as Dogpound though. If it's free I'll try it out, but I'm not paying anymore than 99 cents for it. Hopefully we'll get a real video game soon...

I just hate it when they make up new villains for videogames that never appear anywhere else.

I'm sure that the Nick series will recieve a console game at some point. It just has to happen!

Cure 04-16-2013 10:17 PM

There is a console game coming. There's a whole topic on it.

My mistake. I thought "Out of the Shadows" was strictly for PC.

TheCanadiandrome 04-17-2013 12:05 AM

Damn this game looks cool

JoshDA7X 04-17-2013 03:10 AM

looks awesome! Ill be getting it for sure!

Ninjinister 04-17-2013 03:14 AM

Hm... another infinite runner. I've only played one of the modern takes on the genre (Pitfall!) so I can't say I'm burned out on them like most other people seem to be. If it comes to Android, I'll give it a whirl. Being able to play as Dogpound is pretty enticing, too.

Zulithe 04-17-2013 04:04 AM

At first it sounded like a port of one of the flash games on nick.com, there is one that involves rooftops

But after looking at the gameplay footage i'm pretty impressed

i'd rather have something on 3ds/vita/console/pc but still (yes, I know there is one coming soon), i do have an iphone and i will buy every TMNT app they make :)

hopefully this is only $0.99 or 1.99 (or free?) and that this is only the first of many TMNT iOS/android apps on the way

chrisdude 04-17-2013 06:13 PM

Looks a LOT like the Mirror's Edge iOS game. From the title, I was hoping it was 3D, like Temple Run (or the one I actually play - Sonic Dash). But I'll no doubt download it asap and see how it goes.

miru 04-17-2013 06:42 PM

Its Not-Karai the wasp! Again!

Donatello19 04-17-2013 07:10 PM

The app will be available in the U.S app store at 11:00 pm tonight. On an unrelated note, I discovered that there's a Usagi Yojimbo game on the app store right now as well.

I have that, it got repetitive soon and just got boring.. I played it for like an hr max.. I have heard that they have updated the app and made it better. I need to update it and give it another shot.

Martin 04-18-2013 11:54 AM

Y DON'T U GIVE ANDROID SOME LOVE?

Srly, I want this so badly... I guess it's the waiting game now.

LH 04-18-2013 12:28 PM

Does anybody else leave it on the menu so they can listen to the cool remix of the theme song? :tlol:

DVD 04-18-2013 01:06 PM

Just found it.
It's 1.49 ( I have a UK account)
Going to download, and add it to the TMNT Pinball and AirHockey (both very basic).

DVD 04-18-2013 01:13 PM

Grrrr.
It wants a security code, that I dont have to hand. I'll have to wait till I get back to my office later this morning.

Brockon21 04-18-2013 02:22 PM

I have this game for iPad and think it is really awesome! I also have the Usagi Yojimbo game and like it a lot, too. They are very different, but great!

Zulithe 04-18-2013 02:29 PM

YES :) Totally bought. I have $80 in itunes credit sitting there with nothing interesting to buy :P

hope we get a lot more after this. the graphics look nice. i'll be playing it this weekend

NinjaMan 04-18-2013 02:32 PM

Holy cow buying characters is expensive especially dogpound. Fun game my 4?yr old will like this

Donatello19 04-18-2013 03:21 PM

I had some money on my account so I figured that I might as well buy this. It's pretty fun, but I hat how that after you pick a certain turtle, your stuck with him until you get enough coins to buy the others.

mexichrist83 04-18-2013 04:33 PM

Playing this for my iPad and so far it's fun. I find runners to be boring for the most part and at least this one adds some fighting and exploration. I wish this was a beat em up game instead of a runner because when you get the close up Turtle Time battle sequences you're going to just wish you could run around fighting bad guys. I don't mind having to earn coins to buy other characters and gear because that gives the game more replay value for me and it's seems pretty easy to earn coins in this. I'm glad I paid the $1.99 for this. Plus, it has the show's voice cast doing the voices and that alone was a nice surprise!

Zulithe 04-18-2013 06:44 PM

All TMNT fans who have an ios device should buy this. the gameplay may be simple but it's more than worth $1.99

all the voices are the actual actors from the show. all the lines are NEW, they aren't just lines pulled from past episodes. even the music is from the show! the turtles look and move great.

main comlaint is that the gameplay is veeery repetitive, so don't expect a whole lot of replayability for your money. but it's a little better than most of the flash games on nick.com

zkarlette 04-19-2013 10:09 AM

I already did and I have to say it's a pretty good game considering the price, sorta like angry birds, short but entertaining. I like that the characters look and sound just like the show. But you need to choose your turtle carefully since you'll need to pay "coins" that you earn in the game ( you are also given the option of buying the coins of course...) to play with other characters. Overall it's a fun game to have.

NinjaMan 04-19-2013 11:18 AM

Yea in saving up to buy Donnie for little one she keeps asking for him lol

JoshDA7X 04-19-2013 11:23 AM

I bought it today, loving it so far! :)

Zulithe 04-19-2013 11:24 AM

the fact that you can 'buy' the coins is irritating but that's almost a given in any android/ios game at this price point. I won't be buying any (I prefer the earn them!)

the gear you can upgrade to looks pretty cool, gotta say. even if it doesn't look like anything we're likely to see them using in the Nick show.

But the PC version will be clearly superior! :D Given that one has a computer capable of running it. I doubt the system requirements will be very high for it, either.

Crossing my fingers for a DX11 option (games tend to get better framerates in DX11 mode when it's offered) but that's probably asking too much.

Timmetry 04-19-2013 04:32 PM

Does anyone know if the alternate costumes do anything special?

Donatello19 04-19-2013 05:12 PM

I'm loving this game so far, especially all of the fourth wall breaking :tlol: It's very fun! I find it easier to play on the iPad then on the iPhone. On my iPad I have Mikey, Leo and Raph, and I just have Donnie on my phone. Dogpound looks really cool to play as, I hope I can get enough coins for him soon! They should definitely add some more characters eventually too, I'd love to play as Metalhead, Leatherhead, Fishface, and even Karai. I was actually thinking that they could have a whole "bad guy" character line up, and instead of selecting the characters in the turtle lair, they could be selected in the Foot lair.

Zulithe 04-19-2013 09:26 PM

the game is selling very well, currently #2 best selling app (not just games, but ALL iOS apps) in the store.

If this keeps up, looks like future TMNT apps are a guarantee.

TMNT in general has been doing so well! :D

I'm so happy for it!! :D Nick did good.

Number 15 in the UK.

I got mine in the iPhone now, and it's cool. I chose Mikey.
Gotta admit, I'm rubbish at the game, and keep either falling off the building or getting nabbed by the ship. At this rate it'll take a year to get enough coin to buy Dogpound! :trazz:

Looking forward to checking it out on the iPad and the big screen when I get back to my office.
