New XB360/Wii/3DS TMNT game (not OotS?) - Page 15

*Donatello19* · 10-22-2013, 02:18 PM

It doesn't look THAT bad...I'm sure it'll be fun. I'm glad it comes with a club nintendo code, those usually only come with original Nintendo games (Mario, Zelda, etc.)

*raphael_is_cool* · 10-22-2013, 02:34 PM

I could barely watch past the three-minute mark. Looks awful.

DonatelloFan1984 · 10-22-2013, 03:40 PM

Playing as we speak. It is not as terrible as I thought it was going to be. It is repetitive but there are some things that redeem it. There are some broken mechanics here and there and the music is forgettable. Also the catchphrases are way over used. Is it a terrible game. No. Does it bring back the glory days from the 8-16 bit era. No. It is however mindless fun and there are some cool upgrades to your combos and characters. Do I recommend it. Sure if you need a turtle fix. It is better than OOTS. Just don't expect Manhattan Project or Turtles in time.

Watching the video, the audio for Leo and Raph sometimes sounds off...like the actors were reading their lines over a phone almost in some scenes.

And I do agree with Zulithe about the video that Leo doesn't sound like Jason Biggs...in some parts. It sounds like him in others, it kind of switches to me.

Honestly, I'm not surprised it isn't the TMNT game to end all or anything. A quick cash grab basically. I do see that the people behind it seemed to be fans of TMNT IV: Turtles in Time with the few nods here and there, but...

*MrTMNT2012* · 10-22-2013, 07:03 PM

The Game is NO where near as bad as people are making it seem...

Its actually a lot of fun with 4-players!

Genuinely impressed.

*Ninjinister* · 10-22-2013, 07:16 PM

Not as crap as I had anticipated, but still crap. Still a fair amount better than Arcade Attack.

Ok, so I've spent a few more hours with this, and I've changed my opinion. This game is garbage. The AI turtles start to actively hinder progress in some of the later levels (and boss fights). Also, the voice acting is really inconsistent and there are a lot of weird animation glitches (turtles go cross eyed in cut scenes, enemies will register has being hit when they are nowhere near a turtle...)

Out of the Shadows was a much more polished game.

*CyberCubed* · 10-22-2013, 07:42 PM

Basically all TMNT games have been garbage since 2005. Yep.

I've played every TMNT game ever made. Literally the last batch of games have all been either mediocre or terrible.

Smash-Up was the only decent one at best.

*Powder* · 10-22-2013, 11:53 PM

Is it opposite day? They were mostly decent, with that being the poor one.

Did you finally play Out of the Shadows? 'Caaaause I remember you burying that in a pile o'dook for days without having even touched it.

*Zulithe* · 10-23-2013, 02:49 AM

So supposedly if you buy this game at TRU, even if you did not pre-order, you get the 4 mini turtles. I missed out, oh well :p I think I got my turtle figure needs covered anyway.

Might want to give it a try if you still haven't bought a copy.

*Powder* · 10-23-2013, 03:13 AM

I had rented the Wii version (just to see if I liked it, my interest is actually in the 3ds version) from Redbox to test it out, but I was unable to play it. When I popped it in, it said I required a Wii system update in order to play it, but since I have a modded Wii, I can't do that. It would wipe and/or brick my console... So I guess I'll just have to play Russian roulette and buy the 3ds version sometime.

FlogginMcMurryZombiePizza · 10-23-2013, 03:27 AM

as a gamer without any modded consoles,
dont most games require an update? Or is that really just for Xbox and/or PS3?

*Powder* · 10-23-2013, 03:39 AM

I've never encountered that issue with any other Nintendo games, & I don't have a PS3 or Xbox 360 personally. Dunno!

*Zulithe* · 10-23-2013, 03:57 AM

You can upgrade your modded wii to the latest firmware and still keep it modded. Assuming it is a softmod (the best, safest kind), not hardware mod. there are guides at gbatemp.net (the forums in particular)

*Ninjinister* · 10-23-2013, 04:07 AM

Nintendo posted a trailer on Youtube.

Whichever way I did it (I can't recall off hand), they said you could never do the update.
