How about a new old school type game?

~~Toonami Tom~~ · 06-28-2005, 08:50 PM

I think Konami should make a TMNT game that is like the old school games but with 3d sprites. It would be 2d gameplay where you can move up and down or back and forth on the screen like the old TMNT games, but the charater sprites would be 3d and it would be based on the new show. Anyone think this would be really awesome and work better than the 3d games we are getting?

Interesting concept, sort of like Capcom and the PS2 Megaman X games, they look 3-d but they are more like 2.5-d. You can move the character right and left and up and down, but you don't get the full freedom of a 3d game. I like it, I think just about anything at this point would be better then the current games, they are just done so BAD.

Hmm...That's actually not a bad idea at all, really. I think that would be pretty good!

However, I don't know why everyone's bad-mouthing the current Turtles games...I absolutely loathed the first one because of the lack of variety, boring enemies, gameplay glitches and incredibly bad translations, but Turtles II was a huge step forward in my book. It fixed practically everything that was wrong with the first game and then ran with the concepts. What's so bad about that??

Agreed. Leaping over holes and dying by falling over cliffs got no business in a TMNT game...

Seurat · 07-01-2005, 08:45 PM

I get what you're saying... it'd be sorta like how Super Smash Brothers Melee has 3D sprites but only allows for 2D movement, only this'd be more applicable to the arcade turtle games. That'd be pretty cool. So very retro! Ah, nostalgia... Anyhoo, I think some aspects of the new games plus the old would be pretty nice... perhaps the shuriken could still be used. And the thing with the foot soldiers "evaporating" upon defeat. And the hidden, earnable scrolls and bonus characters aren't such a bad idea either. The big problem of the new games is just moving and camera angles, and having a 2-and-a-half-D game like the old arcade stuff would fix all that.

Good idea... but u know... what we REALLY need is...

TOURNAMENT FIGHTERS 2, BABY!!!!!!!!!!!

heck yeah!!!..it'd be one big long shot..but couldn't you just picture a TMNT: Tournament Fighters 2 like Tekken? i'd be droolin for days, lol...but as far as a 2D new TMNT...i love the new ones, i'd just prefer 2 things with the 3-d cell shade...1- 4 life bars(which were gettin in MN). 2-a fixed camera. and thats all.

The newer games lack a certain 'sit down and play' quality that the older games had. Turtles in Time was the best TMNT game ever in my opinion and if they went back to that formula I think it would bode well for TMNT fans. Playing through Batle Nexus I was having fun but I couldnt help but daydream about an update to Turtles in Time. With todays graphics and music capabillity it would be amazing.

Turtles 4 had an option for animation style (not a lot of diff) and a similar option for a new game would rule. Old skool Mirage style, 90's toon and current look to choose from. That would be too sweet!
Or they could go in the other direction and make an RPG! *ducks thrown brick* (actually that could be cool if it's an action rpg yes? no?

)

*Masked Ninja* · 07-05-2005, 10:05 PM

I have the PC demo for the first new Turtles game. The graphics are fun, as is the music... but you're right. It would get boring pretty quickly once you'd beaten it. Of course, not having much in the way of cool games at my house, I've played this 3-level demo about a gazillion times. Why? I'm not sure. I suppose I find it fun to run through and kick some butt, no matter how easy it is. Heck, I pretty much suck at gaming because we've never had any game system at my house, outside of PC.

But I'm all for a revamp of the old games if they're as cool as y'all say. I played the old TMNT III on my friend's computer last week, and that was pretty enjoyable. It was actually challenging. *grin*

That WOULD be cool, Babboo! Choose your style of Turtle! I'd definitely play that.

hope that konami will stop putting the new tmnt games out, they destroy the tmnt reputation, if they should be milking of the tmnt, i hope they will bring us the old games maybe tmnt in time from 1991 on ps2, xbox, gamecube etc.

Yeah I like Battle Nexus better then the first TMNT game as well I really don't see why everyone dislikes it so much. It's a hard game so if you suck at it then don't bad mouth it. You can't do a jumping puzzle then sucks for you learn how to play the game right or don't play at all. The same whiney complaints I get from people who bad mouth Devil May Cry
"It's to hard"
"You die to fast"
"The enemies are diffcult and cheap"
"I can't get past this puzzle"

Gah I hate it when people complain about those things

Yeah that would be awesome, My SNES is starting to show it's age and I would love to be able to play the old TMNT games on my PS2.

I want to see a new TMNT Tournament Fighters with other Konami characters too. They should have Simon Belmont, Alucard, Richter, Dracula, Snake, Revolver Ocelot, Grey Fox, Bill and Lance from Contra, Goemon, Frogger, Yu-Gi-Oh, the Sunset Riders gang, and several characters from Suikoden and Silent Hill

How about just TMNT characters. Snake Vs a TMNT would be bad for the turtle. Plus that would be more like a Konami fighting game. And then it would only have 1 TMNT in it. Good idea for another game though. But Konami doesnt REALLY make fighting games anymore do they?

Benito · 07-18-2005, 09:21 AM

I am fascinated by the Idea it would rule or suck

But Image a TMNT Sims style game
with other mini Games.
