Fresh from the presses, HOT NEWS!!!

QUOTE:

Howdy folks,

We just got in a video tape of the new game, featuring fight animations of Leo VS various enemies (the Elite Guard and Shredder with the Sword of Tengu being but two of them). Since Konami has had more time to work on this game, the models are more detailed and the animation is more fluid. It's lookin' good!

The best news is that the game will be 4 player this time! Konami took your feedback to heart and will be implementing all four Turtles into the action! The tentative release date at this time is October 22, 2004 - approximately one year after the release of the first game.

We'll send out more details as we get 'em.

On the rumor front - there is no new film in production at this time. Apparently there are some sites reporting that we've got something under way, but nothing is in development right now. Our agents are always working on the Hollywood execs, trying to get them to see the light - but for now there's still no reel news.

I just read my email of that! How awesome! Four player!! *dances*

[Relay]

I just got that same email as well. Most excellent news!!!

EDIT: I emailed Dan back to ask if he could somehow put the video online on the TMNT website. Here's what he had to say:

I'm afraid not. It's just test scenes, which we don't want the public
to see because they're not indicative of what the game will look like
when it's finished.

It was worth a shot. Maybe it won't be too much longer before we see how the game is shaping up.

Four player? Cool. I've only played a TMNT game with four players once, but it was truly awesome.

Now I just need to get friends.

So what is the point of 4 player without the Arcade games as Bonus.So they are finally.They would not make it 4 player with out putting the Arcade games as unlockables.Finish new game unlock games.

To play the new game with three friends?

[Demented Utrom]

Well I would play through the game once.If the Arcade Games are a unlockable bonus I would play those more then the New game.

Yeah, I would too, but just because the new game is 4 players doesn't mean they will include the arcade game. I hope they do though.

[Kiddo Cabbusses]

4 players?

I'm buying this and taking it to my anime club to play on their Gamedays.

Ah, so Konami is already in the testing stages of the next videogame. I hope we get a much better game this time around rather than a repetitive beat-em-up. Four players will definitely make the game more fun... Can't wait to see screenshots!

[Gokhan]

did he happen to say how the enimies looked? an did the turtles still look cell shaded? 4 player is great i cant wait to see what levels there are

[Demented Utrom]

All the Ninja Turtles games were beat them ups expect two.There better be more enemies to fight this time.No more Purple Dragon Punks.I prefer Foot Soldiers and the mutant Dinosaurs.More Boss Type Characters.The First game's Bosses were not Bosses.Konami said as a Bonus they would include the Arcade Games.

[Eye of Sarnath]

Gamespot has the most on TMNT2 than any other site:
http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/05...s_6096776.html

It's confirmed that an arcade game will be an unlockable bonus, though it's not said which one.

I can't help but wonder how'll they'll manage 4 players on PC, unless they support online multiplayer.

[Mobius One]

Can't wait

[Demented Utrom]

It said both would be unlockables.It said Arcade Games meaning 2 and 4 would be Unlockables.

..god.. i'm giddy now..!!

..WHO's GIDDY?? WHO's GIDDY !?

[Ninja Tiptup]

I CAN'T FREAK'N WAIT!!!!!

4 player TMNT at last and with a classic unlockable game.

This is my must buy for fall.

[mbaker]

They'd better include the original arcade game, and "Turtles In Time" as unlockables. The original never should've been ported to the NES. (Should've ported it to the SNES in my opinion) While 'Turtles In Time" was better suited for the SNES, the hardware still had some limitations.

Good news, BOTH will be in the game and we can only assume in arcade form. That's 3 four player games. So even if the new one isn't up to par you've still got 2 great four player games you can play anytime and without quarters or being limited to your computer (emulation). SHELL YEAH. I'm buying this the day it comes out without a doubt.
