TMNT: Fall of the Foot Clan Remake

[Diorm]

Merso X (Rescue-Palooza!) is trying to make a remake or remaster of Fall of the Foot clan. For now he's only trying to find a name for it that is not "remake" or "re-shelled".

Fall of the Foot clan DX?
I would prefer a Radical Rescue remake though.

The Foot Fall Again.

Heh...

Wouldn't that be a very short game remake? How are the 3 game boy TMNT games? I've never played any of them. I'll take anything by Merso X

I think a short, free project is the sort of thing he's going for, perhaps in-between his next original IP game.

I enjoy all the TMNT GameBoy games. I think the first one probably has the most "pick up and play appeal," but the third one is the best of the bunch (though it will require some trial and error to master). The 2nd one is like an expanded concept of the 1st game, although I don't find it quite as fun overall. Good sprite-work on the villains though.

Already a first view from the first level of the game!

Not bad, it looks like a VGA port for MS-DOS.

That was the supposed title of the rumored GBC port/upgrade from eons ago.

Rumored from press/magazines or rumored from "my uncle works for Nintendo" school yard talk?

Definitely from Uncle that works from Nintendo, by the time the GBC came out in Oct 1998 not only was the FW long dead, the Next Mutation had already been cancelled as well, TMNT was a dead property at the time.

Nah it was Tips & Tricks, I think. There was a number of Nintendo and third party games that were said to have supposed to get "DX" titles like Metroid II and at least one Castlevania but I don't even know if they were supposed to really happen.

Majesco republished TMNT IV and TF for Genesis in like 98 and Konami did do the same with the GB games at the time, so it's not out of the realm of possibility. Granted, it was just the same game with no enhancements, but it's still something. 98-99 was also when Playmates did one last action figure re-release before going dormant again until 2003.

I don't think Konami really ever did it. The original three GB games have never been re-released as far as I know.

The coloring looks good. I played the game on Gameboy Color as a kid and I always used the color pallette where the Turtles were green and the Foot were blueish because it "fit" the most.

[frank_one]

I remember playing the Turtles GB games on the SNES with the Super Gameboy add-on and playing around with customized palettes. An actual, even if not official, colored version of those games is a dream that comes true.

I'm really excited for this, Merso X is literally the best thing to happen to TMNT games since TMNT 2007 GBA. Even if it takes year I'd love to see him tackle all 3 GB games now.

Was the title ever decided? The main thing that I hoped for was to go beyond Baxter the fly and the Technodrome gang for bosses.

It is called "Fall of the Foot Clan DX" in the video above. I see he posted new images on his Instagram recently.

Any estimation on when he's finished? Since this is just adding color and not building a new game or making new bosses it should be done faster.

Is that all it is, the same ole song and dance, but this time with color? I hoping for new bosses.
