TMNT: Smash-Up

[Roseangelo]

Three new playable characters have been revealed: Karai, Nightwatcher, and Fugitoid.

Pics are up on Ninja Pizza. Video will be up once it's processed by YouTube.

[Ninjinister]

Well, 2/3 of my guess list isn't bad. Nightwatcher came out of nowhere, though.

[TurtleGuy]

Nightwatcher? As in Raphael but in a different costume?

Boo-urns!

[Candy Kappa]

Raph vs Nightwatcher

snake! you created a time paradox!... Snake?... SNAAAKEE!!

[The Shelf]

Thanks for the news, Rose!

Nightwatcher came out of nowhere sorta, but it's better than another Rabbid at least. That puts the character count up to 15. Where's Leatherhead?!

I hope they don't add any more characters from the '07 movie. They've gotten all the best ones, now it's time to give us Leatherhead, Hun, and Baxter from the new toon and some prominent old toon characters. Then things will be complete. Well, plus maybe Tokka and Rahzar.

[Aztec General]

Despite the fact that this is the exact type of TMNT game I've been hoping they'd release, I must say that I am thoroughly unimpressed by what I've seen. Sorry.

[Blade Raider]

Seeing Karai and Fugitoid in action makes me want to play them. Karai looks fast. Fugitoid looks goofy in a goods way.

I really couldn't less about Nightwatcher unless he was a Rabbid, then there would be hatred. Just another wasted slot that could have been given to a character not yet in the game. Oh well, if their going to put Nightwatcher in the game how about putting Turtle Titan and Dark Turtle as well? (Rather them not take more slots though)

[Spitfire]

Nightwatcher could have been a skin for Raph. That's a waste of a character slot. Karai is no surprise and we all knew we were getting Fugitoid.

I don't feel like Mirage picked this roster at all so far, except Fugitoid and the Utrom. Someone who had a hard on for the fourth movie did, like Ubi. Those Rabbids are still so retarded.

[CyberCubed]

Does anyone think a standard Triceraton might be playable? Given we have a generic Foot Soldier, having one Triceraton character would be a good idea.

Aside from that, still pulling for Rat King and Leatherhead at least. And maybe Hun.

Yeah, I'd love to see Krang/Bebop/Rocksteady but it doesn't look likely for them I'm afraid.

[raphael_is_cool]

I think Nightwatcher's an interesting addition. Not because I'm a big fan of the character but because he's using manriki and not sai. That's more than just a costume change...I hope...

He could have been, but it wouldn't have made any sense. I can't recall seeing Nightwatcher running around with a pair of sai. Expect Nightwatcher to play completely differently from Raph. He'll be heavier, slower, pack more punch, and have a lot more range due to the manriki (?) that he carries around. Just pretend it's someone else under the mask if that makes you feel any better (like Turtle Titan II). It beats a Mario/Dr. Mario-style clone.

I wonder how many characters they have left to reveal. I expect one last batch of 3-4. Maybe two more batches if we're lucky, but that will probably be all.

I thought they were gonna have the big bad ass Fugitoid... his regular form is so geeky.

I thought so too, but this is probably for the best. He probably would have been too similar to Utrominator (and Krang if he's in it with his body). Also, his only appearance like that was in volume 4, I think, and maybe Tales volume 2, neither of which have much of a following.

Nightwatcher gives me mixed feelings, yeah we already have raph and would have preferred a different character but its still kind of a cool character. He could have been a skin for raph but this way he'll actually have his own moves, I mean he has a freaking chain for a weapon

Karai I expected her 2k7 design and its fine, fugitoid looks cool.


I think you guys are missing the bottom right thing though:




That is not the Shredder model we've been shown, at least I'm pretty sure its not.




I hope those weren't the characters they were going to show off at Comic-Con

I'm pretty sure it is.

Right, but there was also his late season 3 model.

I seem to recall Nightwatcher running around with a pair of sai in the movie game, like a poorly-disguised Raphael. But, I wouldn't doubt that I'm mistaken since I clobbered my head pretty good last night and have been making erroneous statements ever since.

[bedbugjones]

every fighting game has a few secret chrecters im sure this one will have plenty

Ah, didn't know about that one. I'm still waiting for season 3 and 4 to come out on dvd. I watched them on the 4kids site, but the quality was kinda poor, and I didn't pay attention to some of it.

No, you're probably right. I never played the movie game and was just going off the movie itself. Either way, when it comes to a fighting game, you want a variety of movesets which is why Nightwatcher's inclusion as a separate character doesn't bother me really.

Well it wasn't awesome, but it was alot more threatening than little SAL.
