New XB360/Wii/3DS TMNT game (not OotS?)

[chrisdude]

Since I'm stuck getting the 3DS version, anyway, maybe it'll have a separate developer and play style. TMNT 2007 for GBA was fantastic.

Its really not bad. I found this early at Toys R Us yesterday and have been quite pleased with the game so far. This isn't a world boss either, its more of a sub boss, just to help the player get a feel for the game. The person playing makes the game look a lot worse than it is. There is a nice feature to the game that harkens back to Turtles in Time as well which is pretty awesome, I'm not going to spoil it though. Also, you get to upgrade the turtles and unlock new moves. Switching between turtles is awesome and being able to play with four friends at the same time is great as well. Each turtle also has a unique feel to them, Donnie is slower but has more powerful attacks, Raph feels like he is fighting with Sais and requires you to be close to your opponent, Mikey is fast, but doesnt do a ton of damage, and Leo is overall very well balanced. In addition, there are different weapons to find like throwing stars and smoke grenades. The cut scenes are nice and feel like the show, the voice work is superb and switching between turtles you really don't hear the same phrase too often. The only issue I have so far is that if you are playing by yourself, your other brothers kinda just stand around unless they're attacked, so I definitely recommend playing with friends if you can but I am very much enjoying this game better than Out of the Shadows. I hope my opinions help subside some of your fears and you find the game as enjoyable as I am.

Well, for starters, thank you for the post. Also, since this is your first post, welcome.

Gonna be honest though, I am a little suspect about your post... considering this is your very first post, how do we know you aren't a developer who worked on this game or something trying to plant info?

Anyway I hope all you said is true, no matter who you are.

As a TMNT fan I will buy ALL TMNT games. Well, as long as they are above a certain threshold of what I consider acceptable effort paid in its creation... and this game qualifies, IMO. For me, the voice work is what sells it to me more than anything. Knowing the voice actors are involved is a big plus.

question... do you happen to know if all the voice work and stuff is also in the 3DS version? I wonder what differences there are between 360, Wii and 3DS. I still want it for 3DS, just don't want a gimped version :/

I'm feeling VERY stupid right now... I was at TRU today and didn't bother to even search for this game. I really wish I had now, in case it got put on the shelf at mine as well.

Yeah, I'm with you on that one, Zulithe. Seems fishy.

Thanks for the welcome! I've actually been a long time lurker, but really didn't feel the need to post anything till now. I actually picked up the 3DS version and its exactly the same as the video above, so I'm gonna guess all versions are exactly the same since the footage is from the 360. I know for a fact the 3DS version has cutscenes and voice work from the shows cast, so you'll be getting the same game as the 360.

I'll take your word for it. The thought of having a decent Nick-themed turtles game I can play on-the-go is very appealing.

I have the iOS game but while it looks pretty good the gameplay provides no entertainment for me

Where exactly are you from? Did they only have the 3DS copy of the game out?

I found it at the Frederick Md. store, I know they had the 360 version as well but I really just wanted the handheld version. I didn't check for the Wii version of the game, but I'm sure it was there too.

Thanks, I might check to see if it's out now in my local TRU.

I was at my local one today and didn't see it... but then again I wasn't really looking either.

[The Stryker]

Is this game seriously out already?

I feel like it was announced two months ago.

Official release date is the 22nd. It was announced back in July... obviously not two months, but you're right it's certainly seems that way... and the actual length between announcement and release isn't exactly super long regardless.

[FlogginMcMurryZombiePizza]

Toys R Us must have some exclusive right with Nick to put out figures ahead of street date...
I mean, the '88 reissues we out before the street date, along with a few other sighting I can't think of at the moment.
Putting the game out ahead isn't a big surprise.
I'll wait and see what people say about this game, but I may wait it out...

[the fixer]

Dad gum! I had completely forgotten we were still getting a Nickelodeon TMNT game until I saw this publicity in a supermarket folder this morning...



I guess that after OOTS was postponed on PS3 I was so disappointed I stopped checking the videogame discussions on the forum. Thereby I completely missed this thread...

Anyway, it's another disappointment to hear this won't be coming to PS3.
Uncool, Nickelodeon... Uncool.

Luckily I have a 3DS. That version'd better be good or they'll be shell to pay...

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

Judging from that video, that looks bad. It looks like virtually no effort was put into it at all.

is it really hard to make a tmnt game i mean konami did alot of tmnt games but they manage to be really fun and awesome were as american companies like activision and ubisoft (aside from the tmnt gba game which was awesome imo) don't see what makes the fan's like their games,but i'm hoping today i go to tru to play this game to give my opinions.

Ubisoft is French.

Is this just releasing in other countries before the US, or are people somehow getting it early? All the stores I check online say that the 3DS game comes out Tuesday. I have that day off, some I'm probably gonna snag it when the stores open, and like, camp somewhere in the mall and give it a run.
