Why was there never a game based on Fast Forward?

[CyberCubed]

You know I always found it strange that despite the marketing push FF had when it first came out, they didn't have a new game right out of the gate.

If not a console game, I am surprised they didn't make a quick 2D one for the GBA at the time.

I would have liked to fight the FF villains like Shoko'nobo and Jammerhead as bosses, and hop around the alien NYC and go to the Moonbase.

It was a cell phone game.

I feel ya, C. I think it would've made a really rad GBA/DS game. Oh well.

Ubisoft had the licence by then and would have ****ed it up. I wish we coulda got one from Konami though.

[MikeandRaph87]

I suspect lack of sales of Mutant Nightmare had something to do with it. I recall looking for a strategy guide for Mutant Nightmare only to learn it was cancelled. I never have seen a sales chart but I have a feeling that is why we did not season 4 game called Monster Hunters or something like that and why afterwards we got a melee type game instead. Its all about sales.

"TMNT: Mutant Melee" came out a few months before "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare".

Ah, yeah, that's right. Well, I made my comment with Konami in mind. Their sidescroller beat-em-ups were great.

[CyberCubed]

Yeah a 2D game for the GBA would have been the best.

Level 1 would be the Street Phantoms and Jammerhead.

Level 2 would be the Moonbase and Inuwashi Gunjin.

Level 3 would be the spaceport with Torbin Zixx and Boss Zukko

Level 4 would be inside one of Viral's videogame traps

Level 5 would be against the Dark Turtles

Level 6 would be against Darius Dunn in O'Neil Tech

Level 7 would be Shoko'nobo and the other Konobo drones.


God I want this game right now.

[Spitfire]

The cellphone game was eh...kinda ******. Arcade Attack had FF costumes in it...I know that doesn't count.

Because Konami did any better than Ubisoft.

[Powder]

Pretty sure most of us feel that they did.

Absolutely. Minus the sarcasm.

Because the focus at the time was on the CGI movie, which had a lot more promo to reach off of considering that the movie was more felt in the media than Fast Forward was. As a result, Konami felt that a game based off of the movie would be more likely to be profitable than a TV show starting to wane in popularity a bit.

Their GC, Xbox and PS2 era console games weren't anything to write home about. Give me Ubisoft's TMNT movie console tie in and Smash Up over Battle Nexus and Mutant Melee anyday.

Mutant nightmare was WAY to hard for a kids game. I'm stuck on the last level.

I loved smash-up and mutant melee fighting games are awesome!

Seriously? I finished all of the story modes of the Konami 2K3 games with no problem... with the possible exception of Mutant Melee cuz I got tired of having to play through multiple times cuz I didn't collect enough points or whatever.

Gee, I've always figured, as a proud owner and beater of TMNT 3 (well, all short of turning them into Dragons) the reason why it ended on 3, rather than continue, was Shredder (Ch'rell)'s defeat. Really, sure, if there was a next season game, take on the usual suspects of Baxter, Bishop, and Karai again, but would people be interested to play a game, Shredder-less (well, OK, Karai, but still, not the same anyways). But would be pretty bad (in a twistedly awesome way) if ever had to battle "Insane in the Membrane" Baxter Stockman.

Mutant Melee came out before Mutant Nightmare.

Eh, I'd rather play a game with my favorite character in it ( Battle Nexus ) instead of a game where he could've been in it but was kicked out for 3 Rabbids that aren't TMNT characters at all, I remember voting for him when the roster was still getting voted on....Yeah...It didn't work out...
