TMNT: Smash-Up - Page 18

*Candy Kappa* · 03-25-2009, 08:35 PM

the teaser was a HUGE let down, just the roundhouse movie in color.
I hope this game will be good, except for the GBA version Ubisoft's TMNT was a big setback with 1 player mode only when konami had 4 player in their latest.
and that it felt like a EA commercial game... half finished.

New update, new dude writing it...

Nintendo was good about doing fan service in SSB by added characters from old Nintendo titles. Some of them such as Olimar and maybe the Ice Climbers, were pretty obscure and lesser known but people responded really well to that. We wanted to do some fan service for those following the TMNT universe as well and added some characters that many of the older TMNT fans would recognize!

This bodes well... but as they say, the proof is in the pudding. Let's see some reveals, guys!

guess i got to buy a wii now,I never skip a tmnt game.can't wait to see who will be selectable in the finnished game...

I really look forward to this game. But it would be nice if they would publish some characters soon, instead of all the teasing on the blog

Donny · 03-31-2009, 02:18 PM

New update on the blog with new screens. It looks pretty sweet.

*Ninjinister* · 03-31-2009, 02:55 PM

Fire-breathing ninja magic? Ubisoft's been hanging onto their Naruto license for too long and it's seeping into their brains....

The Turtles have been breathing fire since the 1990s! Remember the "Dragon Breath" special from SNES Tournament Fighters? Or the fire ball from the NES version? And what about old Shinobi's ability to use "ninjitsu" to call down fire from heaven?

*Ninjinister* · 03-31-2009, 08:31 PM

It's the circumstances in which it was mentioned in the article. It sounded like you could collect power-ups to use elemental attacks like the jutsu in Naruto

Believe me, I'm no stranger to stuff like that with the Turtles.

*gobo* · 03-31-2009, 10:32 PM

That's what I expect, a game full of hand-me-downs...

*Ninjinister* · 03-31-2009, 10:34 PM

Well no, think about it. Isn't the most surefire way to make something excellent to take what works from different things and culminate it together? Worked for Bruce Lee...

*gobo* · 03-31-2009, 10:40 PM

Never said it was a bad idea... That's what Mutant Nightmare was, and most people consider that the best 2K3 game.

*Ninjinister* · 03-31-2009, 11:03 PM

Ah. Maybe I'm just tired, but that last sentence seemed snarky. My bad.

TerranigmaFreak · 04-01-2009, 07:10 PM

Poor Mikey... At least Raph's no longer the one to get eaten now.

*Ninjinister* · 04-08-2009, 02:05 PM

New update to the blog... and it's utterly useless. Does anyone cares how easy it was to work with Mirage on the game? There isn't even a tidbit of information or screenshot about the game.

Do people really want to play as a 55-year old man that runs foes down on his Segway?

Oh, yeah!

But then you'd have to find a while to throw in Kevin Eastman too.

Man, I hate it when the word "older TMNT fans" is thrown around. That means it's either "Oh hey, Mondo Gecko" or "Holy sh#t, Complete Carnage."

Honestly, they'd both be cool. I just wish we'd get some more specific details.

They're being unnecessarily secretive about this. You'd think that they'd have revealed at least one more character for the roster. Like I've been saying, I'm hoping we'll have an epic roster, but I'm not holding my breath, just in case.

I almost wonder if they think they're building hype by being scant on the news. You know, making us build our anticipations?

Either way, they're failing hard. When Smash Bros. Brawl was being released, they kept my interest up by revealing small doses of new content every single day. I've barely given this TMNT game a passing thought in the last few weeks, which is too bad. By now we should have at least one detail besides a vague summary of its gameplay and the core cast of characters.

Totally agree.

*Spitfire* · 04-09-2009, 10:37 PM

Yeah the news flow has been pretty weak. We knew the turtles and Splinter were a given from the start. They could at least let us know Shredder's gonna be in it, not that we can't deduce that for ourselves. Better yet they could release some information about possible alternate costumes.
