Who's dying for another Tournament Fighters?

[Ninja Tiptup]

Sure the new games have a VS mode built in, but that's nowhere close to what a true fighting game experience is. Thus I suggest Konami creates a long overdue sequel to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters. A game which spanned three volumes on three different systems (sadly not on Gameboy). A 2D one much like the first for GBA and a 3D one for Gamecube (maybe something along the lines of Soul Calibur). I'd make it Gamecube exclusive because the first games came out on NES, SNES, and the Genesis. Dreamcast is long dead so that means for the series to continue "properly" (but I doubt it would, greedy Sony) then it should ONLY be released on Gamecube and GBA because the original was on two Nintendo systems. Any way below is a list of characters I'd include.

- Leonardo
- Donatello
- Raphael
- Michaelangelo
- Casey Jones
- April O'Neil (yes she fought in the Genesis one)
- Ray Fillet
- Armagedon
- Syphlas (or whatever the spider/beetle guy was named)
- Chrome Dome
- War
- Wing Nut
- Tatsu or Hun
- Leatherhead (new)
- Aska (previously exclusive to the SNES game, she'd probably look like a DOA girl in this game)
- Shredder


Secret Characters:
- Hot Head
- Lady Shredder (new) - from the IMAGE comics
- Karai
- Rat King
- Fugitoid (new) - just for fun
- Splinter (new)

The GBA game would have a smaller roster...

- Leo
- Raph
- Mike
- Don
- Casey
- Aska
- Chrome Dome
- Ray Fillet
- Leatherhead
- Shredder

Secret Characters:
- Hot Head
- Karai
- Rat King
- Fugitoid

Because most of the characters are from the comics they could tie it into the new series or the original comics. Giving it a more gritty feel. I'd keep the signature moves of each of the older characters and give the new ones moves to compliment those.

The only Tournament Fighters I was ever fortunate enough to play was the one for the SNES and I still enjoy that one. An all around good fighting game that beats the pants off of a lot of other 2D fighters I've seen in recent years. I love how they included the special moves from the Manhatten Project as special attacks in the game.

Sadly, my Genesis broke so I'll never get to play that version and the NES version is pretty impossible to find (I'd love to play it, however).

Which version had Casey Jones? He's who I REALLY wanted to play as (though I made due with Leo and did just fine with him).

[Ninja Tiptup]

Casey was in both the Genesis and NES versions of the game. I really have no idea why he wasn't in the SNES one. Ah well...

I have both the NES and SNES versions. I'm currently trying to track down the Genesis one. You know if you are desperate to play it there are always emulators.

Wish I could but my computer can't handle emulators. Besides, I protest them. I prefer to play old-school NES games the way they were meant to be played...on my NES.

There's alway, eBay, however...

As much as i'd love a new tournament fighters game, i'd probably be satisfied with the new tmnt game coming out already because it's a beat em up game and i love those.
tmnt + beat em up + cell shading = possibly one of the best games i'll play in my whole life
Seriously, it's got pretty much all i want in a game.
But yeah...i'd love it if they did another tournament fighter..even tho they did 3 different ones so you can't complain there

I prefer to play the real deal as well, but for import games and games that I can't get I'll settle for emulators. Their is actually a M.U.G.E.N. version of the Genesis TMNT: Tournament Fighters if you can use M.U.G.E.N. It's pretty good, but not quite the same as playing on the Genesis. You'd get to use Casey though.

You're right about that 3 versions means that I should have NO complaints whatsoever, but a sequel to those games would be fantastic! There's yet to have been a portable one though so I'd say there should at least be that.

[Nickokapo]

Yeah i know what you mean, a sequel got it's good features too, like better graphics and soundtrack for example...i'm just glad we're getting a new game, not to mention a beat em up one specially because i was expecting a tomb-raider-ish one so this totally roxxors mah boxxors
I'd love a new TMNTTF game tho, even if it's in 3d.

[InsaneZane]

LEONARDO
DONATELLO
RAPHAEL

LEATHERHEAD
RAT KING
TATSU

[Kid Icarus]

[The Stryker]

Kick ass!!!

[EZweasel]

Ill give the new one a chance, but i doubt it will be any good. I didnt like any of the turtle games except the first one for nintendo. Now that was an awsum game, but then they went down hill once they became a beat 'em up game. I wish the new one WOULD be more like the tomb raider game.

Blah, well, I'd scrap Aska for Ninjara. Or anything, I just feel she ought to be there too. I kinda like Inzane's setup.

Uhh, DUDE......... I dont know where you got that from.......
It is NINJITSU... The Art of Stealth... a term used to describe all the arts taught to a ninja including armed/unarmed combat, camouflage, and espionage. The word 'ninja' is debated because the definition describes the employed "mercenaries" trained in stealth and matial arts, and were often viewed as spies, saboteurs, and assassins... when some have countered the debate to state they are actually samurai warriors who need to cover thier faces to take such drastic action and hide who they really were.
Whatever the derivation... the word 'ninja' has become a word that instills fear an an appriciation for thier talent.

Oohhh boy. You don't wanna debate heretic on this.
