Any TMNT Mutant Melee lovers here?

[Donny]

Well I have to say that I really enjoyed this game too, in spite of the lack of playable characters. Reading this makes me wanna play it again actually

The most bizzare screenshot I've ever seen from a kid's video game:


Some beautiful character art on the adventure mode victory screens!




I'll try to get caps of them all.

So, yeah, I broke disk one...I don't know how. Anyone know where I can find it either for the PC or the PS2?

Check around your local used book/media stores and pawn shops. That's my strategy for finding cheap old games. And of course there is always the internet.

I found the Game Cube and X-Box versions on Amazon, alas PS2 and PC are not there.
EDIT: Son of a...
EDIT2: Is there even a PS2 version?

Unless I'm mistaken, this is the PC version for sale:

Looks like there was no American PS2 release according to the official TMNT site:

"PC, XBox, Nintendo Gamecube (also released on the PS2 in Europe and the UK, but it will not be released for the PS2 in the USA - this decision was made by Sony and is out of our hands)."

[Jester]

I know...hence the "Son of a..." I didn't click the link, assuming it was the same search I'd preformed. I may have to grab that, thought hearing PS2 made me jump, because it wouldn't require loading it to the PC again and all that, but as it's not an American release.

Foot Soldier To-Do-List

#1 KILL Casey Jones

(What?!? "Put an end to Casey Jones"? This is a kid's game for crying out loud!)

#2 Kidnap April O'Neil

Now that's a twist on a familiar theme!

#3 Breakup the Ninja Turtles

Man, playing as the Foot Soldier kinda makes me feel awfully guilty.
I even forced Hun out of his tenure!

[Ninjinister]

I've always though the art in this game was totally awesome. Any idea who did it?

I wouldn't be surprised if it is the same person/people who did the art for the TMNT: Unleased Trading card game, which was also put out by Konami.

[Ninjinister]

Y'know, you're right, it does look similar.

Makes me wish that every character had a story mode, and that you could unlock clean versions (without the text overlays) for later viewing.

Heck, I also wish Upper Deck/Konami would have released those other two sets of TMNT cards.

This is probably my favorite game when it comes to the 2003 series form of video games. I have to agree with the ending artwork, they always did look great. ^^ I still play the game from time to time - it depends on my mood I suppose.

What sets were those? I'm not aware of all the sets.

EDIT:

I watched the credits to see if it listed the artists. I don't know if these are the same ones who did the character art, but may be something to go on.

Loving the snapshots. Keep them coming!

I have this game and don't remember the character artwork you've posted, oldman. Maybe it's because I didn't play it more than ten minutes. Could be.

Don't remember the names of the sets off the top of my head, but I do know that Upper Deck had two more sets planned after Turtles Unleashed. If I can find the article, I'll let you know.

[oldmanwinters]

One of the funniest endings, IMO:


The art on this one is probably my favorite!


Another morbid ending that makes me feel a little dirty:


Surreal fanboy moment... leading Shredder to victory!



Recap: after "convincing" April to reveal the location of the Turtles' lair, Shredder fights his way through a sewer filled with Triceratons to bust in on the Turtles' lair. He survives their initial ambush, then picks them off one by one until their home is desolate. In a final, valiant gambit, the Turtles summon the strength to attempt a desperate counter-attack. Making their way to Shredder's throne room in his palace, Shredder strikes down his weakened foes for good... leaving them to burn in the inferno. . .
Oh, the humanity!

[oldmanwinters]

Thought I'd post the final two win screens for Raph and April (the previous one didn't have any exposition):

Is it true Casey Jones alternate character is him in a speedo? or is it just swimming trunks?

Anyone has a picture? looking for screenshots or info on this game is pretty hard.

Casey has two alternate costumes: winter hoodie and swimming trunks. Here area a couple of pictures of them:

It makes me sad that summer/winter April and Casey and teen Hun are separate playable characters, but Mozar and the Purple Dragons are relegated to unplayable CPU characters.
