TMNT: Smash-Up - Page 31

*sdp* · 06-30-2009, 10:56 AM

Well if you read my posts I was very excited until semi-recently (to be specific when I saw the video that confirmed the PS2 version). That seemed to lower all expectations to expect crap.

Story wasn't the main focus on Brawl and it was awesome. I mean its what it should have been, just a bunch of fan service. It wasn't exactly a beat-em up but as close as it could get counting it was using the Smash engine.

It was so long that I don't think I'll play it again anytime soon since it wasn't interesting enough (for lack of a better word). But thats not saying I didn't have a blast playing through it the first time and I spent many hours to complete it and unlock everything.

I just hope its not just a little bit of story told through still screen shots and then a regular fight with a character.

I wish they would have these characters in there -

- Baxter Stockman (Fly OT)
- Nano
- Slash (OT)
- Nobody
- Leatherhead (OT)
- Bishop
- Krang (Android Body OT)
- Karai
- Usagi
- Groundshuck (for some reason always thought he looked cool OT)

Just some of the ones I wish they would throw in there.

I wouldn't mind seeing some Archie TMNT characters in there (Mutanimals.)

Don't know if this was already posted because this thread acts really weird for me. It jumps through pages oddly, and always says there's another page, which I can never view.

Anyways, just so everyone knows, 1up.com is doing a Game Night for the Turtles tonight. They're going to be playing both the Turtles in Time remake and Smash Up. So you guys should probably check it out here. They'll be taking questions and stuff.

*sdp* · 06-30-2009, 03:35 PM

Thanks, I've already submitted my question. I think I'll make some twitter accounts to make sure my question is answered

I don't know though, I am sure they are going to dance around the question. They've already been asked at least twice about old toon characters and they just answer the question as "this game is not influenced by any cartoon or movie and that it'll have characters from the various incarnations of the tmnt."

I'm seeing this problem with quite a few threads, actually.

*Candy Kappa* · 06-30-2009, 06:14 PM

Yeah It fooled me the first time I noticed it

*sdp* · 06-30-2009, 07:03 PM

Saw the TMNT Game Night and heres a summary (I'll be editing my post as more stuff happens). Also no one that develops the game or anything is there so no questions outside of the demo build can be basically answered.

- Gamecube controls confirmed (with wiimote only or wii and nunchuck as well)
- Can't turn the glow off at least in the preview build.
- Controls identical to SSBB but not as many special attacks
- Health bar when it lowers you die, hearts represent lives
- Feels very much like Brawl but not as good.
- Characters at least the turtles don't feel too much different besies reach and small stuff like that.
- Confirmed Leatherhead (not sure exactly where this came from it may have been a mistake because of the way he said it)
- Rocksteady and Beebop apparently not in it (also mostly seemed to talk about the demo its not like they actually knew)
- tech tower demo has a lazer
This is mostly dissapointing since its only people playing the E3 demo so not really any new news.

btw the graphics look really good, I am glad its not going to suffer from the PS2 graphics that a lot of PS2/Wii games suffer.

X · 07-01-2009, 10:40 AM

Blah, missed it.

Would've liked to have seen both games being played. Hope some people asked really good questions about both games.

*sdp* · 07-01-2009, 11:07 AM

You didn't really miss any new info though besides gamecube controller confirmed.

They said leatherhead was in it but thats hardly a confirmation I don't even know where that camefrom. They said rocksteady/beebop weren't in it then corrected themselves well not in this version. Basically they only had the E3 demo and could only answer questions on that. They said it was like Brawl but not as good, which is what I was expecting. The graphics do look nice though.

TiT was a bit buggy but they mentioned that may have been fixed. They mentioned it looked too zoomed in which made 4 player a bit crazy, the turtles/whole game move way too fast. At least there seems to be new enemies and more enemies. The game looks better in motion than screenshots.

Oh yeah each character has a small intro at the start of the match and besides that they just mostly grunt through out the match. So no one liners that could get boring. Yet you can clearly recognize the VAs. Hearing "The Shredder" and "April O'Neil" when you select them was kinda cool.

Ah, yes. Who could forget the glorious days of:

"Eat feet! Eat feet! Eat Feet!"

"Outta my way, nimrod!"

"Slice n Dice!"

and

"Anyone for stickball? I have the stick, you be the ball!"

Thank god. This should be mandatory for all Wii games to begin with.

Mega gay.

This is only in the demo. It's already been confirmed that we'll be able to turn it off in the real game.

X · 07-01-2009, 03:00 PM

I think Smash up will be fun, so my main focus of new news is on the Turtles in Time remake.

The Shelf · 07-01-2009, 11:48 PM

Replay for those of us who missed it: http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/25410

Leatherhead is not confirmed. One of the submitted questions was whether the alligator that jumps out and eats players is Leatherhead.

Also, Rocksteady and Bebop were not on the roster they were given. That doesn't mean they're not in the game. I'm pretty sure the roster they had was the roster we've seen so far.

Also, 1up loses TMNT points for thinking Utrominator was supposed to be U*l*trominator.

Actually, before that question, when the guy is reading the list of characters, he reads off Leatherhead just before Utrominator. I'm not calling him confirmed until I actually see him though. Same thing with Fugitoid; Laird wasn't sure, himself, when he mentioned him in the letters section of Vol. 4, #30. Then IGN made matters worse by running with that tidbit all over, mentioning the 'rumor' of Fugitoid's inclusion in every damn article the write about the game.

You wouldn't believe how many people insist it's Ultrom/Ultrominator. But yeah, they should have actually had an Ubisoft rep there that knew what was going on, instead of a lame-ass 'fact sheet'.

True, but Leatherhead was on the roster listed. They clearly read it off the sheet. They never mention him again until the question.

I know, geezs don't that have at least one guy that watches the new toon or something...

The Shelf · 07-02-2009, 07:58 AM

Ah, my bad, the only character I heard off their roster list was Utrominator. Oh darn, now I'll have to watch it again.

He was teasing... Mirage is picking the roster remember?

Still not calling it confirmed until I see something. Even if he did write the story mode, and Mirage chose the roster. You don't know how many times the guys actually developing the games say stuff and then it doesn't end up happening.
