I own an iphone and still hate its apple arcade exclusive, this and world of demons being stuck on mobile hurts.

I wish you could just buy it for 10 bucks or something.

July 2024 on Switch as a timed exclusive. Presumed to go elsewhere after

[RaphaelinSTL]

Yes!! I’m excited to finally try this out.

[Chaotix12345]

RAD! Wasn't expecting this to hit consoles so soon! Excited to finally give it a go!

[Drose18]

This one doesn’t look so appealing to me but adding another turtles title to the game library is always welcome

[The Deadman]

We're eating good as Turtles fans in terms of games here, boys.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

We're only eating good if these games we're getting are actually good. Still waiting for that Last Ronin game. Never even heard of this til today. The gameplay style isn't my thing but nice to see something that isn't another beatemup.

Really excited to see this on Switch - loved the concept, but didn't love the execution on iPhone. A real controller will make a big difference for me.

I strongly suspected Splintered Fate would show up on console eventually, but I'm very happy to see it made official. The only bummer is Playstation is my console of choice so it sounds like I'm going to be waiting a little while longer. Thankfully I have Wrath of the Mutants to keep me busy in the meantime.

Agreed! Between Shredder's Revenge, The Cowabunga Collection, Splintered Fate, Wrath of the Mutants, Mutants Unleashed, and The Last Ronin, this is the most excitement TMNT fans have had in the video game space since the 2K3 days.

Was this any good?

[Wentos]

When it first came out on Apple Arcade, the consensus seemed to be "It's Hades but with the Ninja Turtles", so I guess it all depends on how you feel about that statement.

So are we to take it that the console ports are a sign of success or an attempt at broadening the audience?

Learning about releases like this game is the main reason that I am a member here. I don't use social media, so this is how I find out about upcoming releases. It looks like a pretty fun game. I hope that it has couch co-op.

Publishers will often grant limited exclusivity windows for their games in exchange for a payout from the platform holder. The six month turnaround time all but guarantees this game was always planned to be a console title in the same way the latest Shantae game was (which was also an Apple Arcade exclusive before being released on consoles shortly after).

I don't usually go for this genre of game, but if it's decent, & the price is reasonable, I'd be happy to have more turtle titles on my Switch. Very glad it's worked out so far to where we will ultimately have, what, four on it? Konami Collection, 2012 arcade game, this, & then Mutant Mayhem's tie-in. Pretty rad. Not to mention all the titles they guest feature in nowadays, which isn't my thing, but is still cool to see.

Don’t forget Shredder’s Revenge!

[Powder]

D'oh! I forgot the best one!

Definitely a good time to be a TMNT loving gamer.

It really is in a league of its own.

[Tuxedo Moroboshi]

I had no idea this was a pre-existing game and just assumed it was something brand-new. Whatever the case, it looks fun, so I'm glad it's getting released outside of Apple Arcade. Now if only the same could happen to Sonic Dream Team... but that's a different, non-tmnt related topic, so I won't gripe on that here.
