I concur. I'm salivating just thinking about who's all going to be in it, what everything's going to look like, how exactly it will play....

[Jester]

I guess I'll have to buy a Wii...darn it...

Is it going to be on any other system?

[Roseangelo]

Where does it say it's exclusive to Wii?

Well but what i mean is if it'd be like Smash bros or what I consider 2.5d fighting games like DoA. In fact I dont' consider smash much of a fighting game.

While a smash like game might be funner I'm not sure it'd fit the turtles unless it was a very wacky game. And before someone responds saying you can't have a 2d like fighting game like street fighter with four players thats not true, its been attempted in the past like Guilty Gear DS and it didn't come out so bad.


Was Mutant Melee as bad as reviews mention? To me it seemed like a watered down Power Stone game which are very fun.

Hopefully this game isn't as bad as "Mutant Melee" which came out on the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox last generation. Check ninjaturtles.com or IGN/Gamespot if you're unfamiliar with the game.

I hope this one turns out good.

Just Wii, thus far, which is slightly disconcerting. Most Wii only 3rd party software is shovelware of the worst magnitude, especially when it's a franchise game.

DoA is a 3D fighter, you can move in all directions, it's not on a single plane.

And just because it's developed by former Smash devs doesn't mean it'll be Smash Bros-esque in any way.

The only source at this point is Nintendo Power, so of course they're not going to mention it being on non-Nintendo platforms.

Murphy said forever ago that this game was going to be on all platforms, so I expect that it will be. There's no logic in it being Wii-only anyways.

Man, I obviously don't know from good games, because I had the PC version and loved it, despite the difficulty.

Nintendo Power isn't run by Nintendo, it's licensed to a third party. They mention multi-platform releases all the time. Now, I haven't seen the article in question, but if it's not stated specifically that it's Wii exclusive, then it probably isn't.

There's a ton of logic to it, actually. Wii development is cheap and easy. Developing something for the 360 or PS3 takes significantly more money and time. A lot of "well worn" franchise games come out exclusively to Wii for a reason.

[Kid Icarus]

Not to mention Wii's insane userbase. Isn't that how it works? What ever system has the larger install base gets the random single platform games?

I heard the news of this game and had to come back to post about it.

I haven't been excited for something TMNT since they launched the new Tales comics.

Hopefully with this development team it'll turn out to be more then just playable.

And Peanut... Holy cow, 10,000 posts?

[Peanut]

7 years is a long time, my friend. I just broke it sometime last week. And it's good to see a VG section veteran back.

-->> ..you guys make this cranky, sad ol grizzled snapper so happy..

So I am hoping that they arent going to use 2007 movie-esque models for the turtles. If they do, I will buy a copy and set it on fire in the ubisoft parking lot.

Or... you could just play it regardless. What if the game ends up being the most rockin' thing you've ever played?

Damn skippy. I've got it on both Gamecube AND PC.

I never said the copy I burn would be the ONLY copy I buy

And honestly I really am hoping that it will be a great game. If the game is good enough I can overlook the character models

[VaughnMichael]

I honestly hope it has characters from all over the tmnt universe and is a fighting game not some party game like smash bros.
I'm willing to buy a video game system and this game if they finally bring out a tmnt game worth buying again.

[syk_skillz]

Good news indeed
To bad we have to wait 9-10 months for it because the wait is going to kill me.
I was about to sell my Wii because it was collecting dust but this just changed my mind.

[Ninjinister]

I'm pretty sure it's going to be more like Smash Bros. (which is a fighting game, for Chrissake), than a more traditional 2.5 fighter like Street Fighter IV. After all, have you tried playing something more traditional with four players simultaneously? It would end up like Guilty Gear Isuka... >.<

[Dr. Doom]

Hopefully it won't be Wii exclusive. Being on other consoles would make it much more likely to not be terrible. And I am going into this under the assumption that it will be terrible, so prove me wrong Ubisoft, please.

I've only played the first smash bro's. and it was more like collecting points and hopping around on blocks than your typical fighting game to me, it didn't do anything for me. *shruggs*
It may end up being cool but I'd much rather have some all out battle like tournament fighters made with tuns of characters.
I really don't play video games anymore as I don't have the time for them as most of them are very time consuming.
But if this is cool I'll have put some time aside from it.
Pics and what not will make up my mind for me.
