Turtles in Time Re-Shelled
 
I wish I had more followers on the website, otherwise I'd post this there.

Seems as if there is a BRAND NEW GAME that no one has heard about touring with the Turtle Bus. It was not on display at the TMNT 25 event Thursday and is NOT the Smashup Game we all know.

Apparently, it's more like Turtles in Time with actual levels, AND based on the old school moves at least. The Foot Soldiers are Robots, and Tokka and Rhazar are in it.

And apparently Toys R Us NY put out the Season 7 DVD's on sale by mistake. I'm trying to get a review on the uncut status of the European eps as well as the two missing episodes. But they where only able to grab two of the 'slices' they where put out by mistake and two where marked as not for sale...

Was anyone else lucky enough to grab em?

gobo 04-25-2009 08:53 PM

I honestly don't expect any news at all on the two missing eps, but that's really exciting about the 'other' videogame... :thyper:

Deathknight 04-26-2009 05:28 PM

Checked ebay, nobody is shipping them early. They'd better be uncut or I'm going to be really pissed

LeoNerdo 04-30-2009 12:59 AM

This interests me! Does anybody know anything else about this NEW game like if it's being published on any game platforms or if it's just something that's touring with the bus? I've seen 2 photos that someone added to an album on the TMNT25 facebook page (that i assume is not Smash-Up) and from what I can gather it does indeed look similar to Turtles in Time or the Arcade Game but with 3d sprites and backgrounds and such.

Ninjinister 04-30-2009 07:32 AM

If this fabled game did exist, and I didn't already own the console it's coming to, I'd totally buy it just for this game.

LeoNerdo: Would you mind posting those photos here for those of us who don't use FaceBook?

Spitfire 04-30-2009 08:00 AM

And your sure this new game just isn't "Turtles In Time" for the Wii virtual console or the arcade version for XBL?

Vegeta-san's site says:

I've been told the images on the screen are Leonardo fighting some Rock Soldiers. The Images and backgrounds are completely wide screen and rendered in 3D....No word on the sound track, as the user was concentrated on talking to staff about the game.....
Somebody needs to post this shiz. I'm not getting a FaceBook account just to look at a couple o' pictures.

EDIT: Then again, this is in the post below it:

I've been told by Dan Burger and Gary Richardson, official dudes in charge at Mirage, that the game spotted on the Turtle bus IS Turtles in time. Apparently from what I've been hearing from folks who've actually played the game.....

'The designs have been changed'.

I REALLY hope this is coming to wii virtual console, or at least xbox live. An upgraded set of visuals would absolutely make this perfect. Ill be keeping my fingers crossed. Thank you for the news!

Roseangelo 04-30-2009 09:17 AM

I pics I saw on Facebook look to be Turtles in Time updated to modern graphics.

Any chance you can share these with the rest of us?

Please Roseangelo? Pretty please?

I'm with Ninjinister and don't want a FaceBook account and I'm sure at least half of this board feels the same way.

I was going to do it but the pictures are a blurry mess, its not worth the trouble of saving and uploading them.

It does seem like an enhanced remake graphically but only slightly and I think I did see an XBL icon. I don't think it could come to Wii but who knows with the new Wii Arcade added to the Virtual ocnsole it could.

I don't care if their blurry, I'm just looking for proof other than word of mouth that it exists.

EDIT: Btw, if it's a 3D upgrade of the original, it'd be released on the Wii as Wiiware. Megaman 9 was released that way and it's on all 3 consoles.

1984 04-30-2009 10:33 AM

I tried to sharpen the picture and upped the brightness/contrast.

You just made day! Thank you so very much :D

This confirms it's 3D (ooo...shadows), that it's TiT (The pirate ship), and that everyone in this thread are right (not that I doubted you guys, I just wanted some pudding :P)

On a side note, shouldn't this thread be in the Video Game section? Well, I guess it works here too.

Ninjinister 04-30-2009 10:52 AM

Looks like I'm gettin' a 360.

Already up on www.heroesinashalfshell.org

I bought it just for the Ghostbusters Game. But the original arcade, and now this is a good incentive. Not to mention the fact that I can FINALLY play all those Star Wars games that never came to the Nintendo like Knights of the Old Republic...

Ninjinister 04-30-2009 11:49 AM

Your site's not resolving, O Prince of Saiyajin.

Just in case no one visits the website, I'll re-iterate it here. All graphics are 100% 3D, wide screen, and probably HD. We didn't get a report on music or voice track, though as they where too busy talking to the bus crew while playing...

Sigh...Crummy keyboard. In this new location, the USB Receiver is too close to the keyboard and at the wrong angle....Sometimes keys just don't 'register'...will have to fixthat...

Ninjinister 04-30-2009 11:56 AM

Nah, I found out what it was. I used your sig link. There was an extra "s" in the first URL.

Whatever you do don't get those games for 360. Buy them for PC trust me. I bought KOTOR 2 to play on 360 and it lagged so much during fights it was impossible to play. The BC for 360 barely works. Also you can't watch cut scenes because they skip like hell. Don't bother with Xbox games the BC just doesn't work. I've tried other games and they all have this problem. The PC versions work on even really old computers and they're cheap now so I'd recommend them, they are amazing games. Also even though I prefer controllers the keyboard works way better for those games.

You wanna put your money where my computer is? My computer can not run KOTOR 2. It can run KOTOR though. However, I stopped playing for years, then I decided to play it again when Hasbro confirmed they were making HK-47. Now, for a reason I can't figure out, the graphic are completely screwed up to the point that it's unplayable.

Anyways, my point is not everyone has a even half decent "gaming" computer.

Btw, the Wii is the only one of the current gen consoles that hasn't completely ruined backwards compatibility. Just one of the many reasons why I haven't bothered with the PS3 or Xbox (oh who am I kidding, I'll never bother with the Xbox :P).

Spitfire 04-30-2009 08:27 PM

I managed to run Oblivion when it first came out on a computer without the proper specs or even the minimal requirements. There are options out there to get any game to work. The games pretty old now so you must have a really old computer if it can't run KOTOR 2. Any system at least running XP should be able to handle it. Either way trying to get it to work on PC will prove more fruitful then 360 like I said.

Krang 04-30-2009 10:34 PM

Since the discussion in this thread is mostly about the updated Turtles in Time game and since we don't already have a thread about it there, I went ahead and moved this to the Video Game section. If you would like to discuss the early releases of the OT DVDs, please use this thread.

Nobody caught that the fan playing the game in that picture is Michelle Ivey? Just ask her about it.

I haven't been able to catch up with her in about a year.

Roseangelo 05-01-2009 08:29 AM

I got the scoop on the game here.

Archon_Turtle 05-01-2009 09:54 AM

They must be trying to port to Wii as a Wiiware title, as Virtual Console is designed specifically for direct ports. What I'm interested in is who is actually doing the work? Ubi or Konami?

sdp 05-01-2009 10:36 AM

Saw some pictures of the game on /v/, it looks awesome.

CyberCubed 05-01-2009 10:38 AM

They better put Bebop/Rocksteady in the Technodrome level then.

Weren't Tokka and Rahzar the bosses of the Pirate Ship in the Arcade Version? In the arcade version, the only time you go to the Technodrome is for the final fight with Shredder. Maybe that's the version they are basing it off.

Archon_Turtle 05-01-2009 11:08 AM

I will bet you a bajillion dollars that all of the MWS toon characters will be removed because of them not wanting to pay Fred Wolf the bajillion dollars he probably wants for the rights.

yo Rose,

Hope you don't mind, but we put one of the pictures up on our site with a full link and credit to yours, telling users that if they want to see the others, they have to head on over to your blog....

One of the purposes of Heroesinahalfshell.org is a one stop news post for all turtles news sites....as well as original site specific news like the turtles in time spotting.. We always give full credit to the original posters...

Later

Yeah, I know. I just didn't want to give her name out if she didn't want it on there. I haven't seen her regular aim nick on in the last few days...

Turtles in Time remake coming!

sdp 05-01-2009 11:34 AM

Everyone knows who Michelle Ivy on the internet :lol:


And pictures were posted at the chans since late last night/very early morning so they aren't for anyone to claim them as theirs.

But aren't most of those characters owned by Mirage or their respective creators like Ryan Brown?

I think Rocksteady and Bebop were created by Eastman & Laird. Their concept art is floating around on the web somewhere.

It's just the Playmates Toys pitch, but I think Mirage created most of the old toon characters.

As far as i know that is incorrect. Essentially the reason why Tokka and Rahzar were used in turtles II as well. If I'm wrong, I'm sure people will leap at the chance to correct me. :-P
