Greatest game that'll never happen

[turtlefanforever]

Everyone has ideas of how games can be better or a game that would be so awesome but know it won't happen because you think it's a unique idea and you'd need to pitch it to someone or just plain licensing. So what TMNT game would you love to see but won't happen for whatever reason.

-Nick series based sidescroller beat 'em up in the vein of Turtles In Time.
-Smash Bros Brawl kinda game done right (unlike Smash-Up) that includes characters/outfits/stages from all the vast TMNT universes.
-Third person Legend Of Zelda styled game based on the Mirage books.

I'd love a Smash Up style game with a deeper roster. I mean the Turtles could have multiple skins from the Mirage Books to the FW series to the new IDW, Nick, Movie designs.

Heck, Mutant Melee was a better Smash Up than Smash Up was.

[MST3KFan]

It may happen, but I doubt it... LEGO TMNT game.
It would include all the characters from the NICK toon, plus secret extra characters from the Mirage comics, 80s toon, and 90s live action movies.

Another game as awesome as Turtles in Time or even the original arcade game. Seriously, why not just do retro style and make a new game in the vein of the original arcade games? Stop 'trying' to emulate what made those games fun with new twists and actually just copy the old games. It works for Mario games, it'd work here.

A Tenchu-like TMNT stealth game. They're ninjas and to me the Tenchu games were fun and of course, as close to making you feel like a ninja as possible.

Zelda styled TMNT game? Yes please!

[turtlefanforever]

Kingdom hearts type TMNT game

[Gabriel GP]

A game where you could explore NY freely, and that had a similar gameplay to batman, like the OotS tried to do, but didn't end up so well. And of course, it would have a 4 players co-op online and offline.

So much freaking win.

[turtlefanforever]

Mortal Kombat shoalin monks. Walk around freely, pick up objects off the ground to use in battle, ect. That game was awesome.

[raph27]

LEGO TMNT.
based on Nick, has lots of Nick characters, a few secret classic characters, NYC open world with sewers as main base, lots of vehicles......
Man that would be sweet.

Oh, and bug testing for OOTS.

3rd person action game - like batman arkham city but in NYC with tmnts.
2d fighting game - like mortal kombat 9 (the latest one).
2d side scrolling beat'em up - in the style of streets of rage 2 but obviously with better graphics etc.

TMNT is long over due for a AAA current gen game. The last 2 attempts have have been fun but I think we all really want to see the attention that has been given to batman be given to the tmnts. I think we really need an open world environment to immersed in and the game mechanics should employ stealth and action at least. Vehicles will be a must too. There is so much material just sitting there waiting to be turned into one of the most awesome games ever.
If we get a movie tie in game I hope we get something that isn't all button mashing foot soldier killing humdrum. Also it will probably be last gen if the game comes out with the movie. Otherwise, if the new film does really well then perhaps they could make a new current gen game and really give it all the love the tmnts have been missing for so long.

[turtlefanforever]

But with a different premise. You start in one universe. And maybe Donnie or something wants to learn more about the world and stumbles upon another turtleverse and you are going through all the universes fighting the bad guys but it is a freerome universe . There will be levels for the comics, excluding IDW too new, not developed enough not nick either for the same reasons. But yes comics, FW, 2k3, and maybe even side levels for when you beat the games, like movie mode and next mutation .

This.


Also, a free roam game with the 1987 cartoon as the main influence as a calllback to the 5 beat ups of the first generation.

This. I think it would take inspiration from Assassin's Creed as well as Arkham City, and maybe character switching a la GTA V.

So you'd be open to the idea of vigilante turtles? Running up in broad daylight being the bad guys? Murdering stealing ect

No, I mean being able to switch between Leo, Don, Raph and Mike in a similar way to switching between Franklin, Michael, and Trevor.

[ProactiveMan]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the Movie the Game, with digitised rubber suit graphics.

[Shred87]

I'd love beat em up that combines out of the shadows and turtles in time that incorporates all aspects of the franchise... Give me similar fighting mechanics as out of the shadows with each turtle having specials, all classic characters, but based around classic comic storylines.

Love to be able to play missions as Casey jones and raph together...

Give me a tmnt game modeled after the marvel ultimate alliance games... Cram as many characters as possible into it.

[raphael_is_cool]

I definitely think something Arkham City-esque would be great. With some work, I think the OotS combat could really shine...basically, just make it a little quicker and more responsive. On top of that, could add in more weapon types and unique animations for whole the turtles' weapons react to them (e.g. bo staff has to deflect a sword, sai can block and hold the blade for a disarm)

In terms of setting, I'd maybe go towards that old Mirage-style except tweak it a little to suit a game (again, the same as the Arkham games did). Even putting it in the '80s might make a refreshing change, especially if it had a cool noir artstyle like Telltale's 'The Wolf Among Us'.

I would have the very opening based on Leonardo #1/Shredder Strikes Back, so you've got all your turtles almost fully souped-up like that 'Taste of Power' thing games do. Then after a crushing defeat, they'd have to recover and regroup in Northampton, where you can do some cool countryside stuff as well as perhaps meditation/dream sequence sections as the tutorial.

Then it simply becomes about the turtles reestablishing their place in the city and hitting back at Shredder.

[shuriken]

An IDW sandbox like game, loosely base it on the comic (for example use certain events as starting points but not the story ver batum).
It would have the main TMNT story where you start out with Either Mikey, Leo or Don battling Old Hob's goons or as Raph on his own in search of his brothers.
-Each turtle would play slightly differently each having an advantage in one area
-Raph could be the strongest (Attacks are stronger, but slower)
-Mikey the fastest (attacks the fastest but is slightly weaker)
-Donnie could have the best defense (have more counter based attacks)
-Leo could be the most well rounded

You'd have different side missions, a stealth aspect to it that requires one to be ninja-esque, and various vehicle you can find and upgrade like in GTA.
Missions could include
-breaking into Stockgen and looking for ooze canisters and clues to their origin
-searching various dump site for supplies/ potential weapons
-Helping out citizens in need by using stealth and quickness and disposing of your enemies without being seen.
-Training runs that help improve your stats (sewer runs, rooftop runs and alley runs).
-Help out the Neutrinos rebellion against Krang.
-Infiltrating both the Technodrome and the Foot headquarters.
-Facing off against different Bosses, Hob, Slash, Alopex, Karai, Shredder, Krang, Bebop, Rocksteady, Kitsune, Granitor, the Savate leader, Baxter and Hun come to mind.

There can also be a vs mode where you start out with just the four turtles, but as the game progresses, you unlock a larger roster from the IDWverse. Characters could include any and all bosses that you have defeated, and allies that you come accross, which could include but not be limited to Casey, April, The Neutrinos, Angel, Splinter and Fugitoid.

A Short 2-d Side scroller mode that lets up to four friends battle hordes of Mousers, Purple Dragons, Thugs, Stone Warriors and Foot ninjas over 10 levels like the old school beat em ups (this mode has to be unlocked and can also unlock various TMNT skins based on different artists much like the Arkham Asylum games.)

In addition to that after beating the VS mode with a character you can unlock a short story mode for one of the villains (Shredder, Bebop and Rocksteady, Hob, Karai, Krang and Baxter). And you could also unlock various skins for the characters spanning multiple universes.

THAT would be amazing.
