Okay...I"m confused

*Zachatello00* · 08-27-2004, 10:57 AM

So, how exactly will the controlling four characters thing work? I've seen screen shots with all four TMNT on the screen, and then I saw a trailor where it's one turtle at a time and switch between them ala the original NES game. What's goin' on?

*Brodie* · 08-27-2004, 04:00 PM

CPU controlled if playing one player, CPU plays the characters you dont play.

*Ecto Jedi* · 08-27-2004, 04:24 PM

No...I don't think that's the way it works.

im wondering how this works to. the gba version also has 4 player link playing how does this work?

in the words of the great dave chapelle acting like dylan off the band " sugar cookies man dis is crazy!!!"

*Zachatello00* · 08-28-2004, 12:58 AM

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who's confused. I had thought it ran like the animaniacs games, but apparently it's more like the original NES game where you can switch between turtles anytime.

*raphael_is_cool* · 08-28-2004, 12:00 PM

I think I got this from IGN or some games site

1 player = switch between 4 characters
2 players = 2 characters each
3 players = 1 person gets 2 characters, the others get 1 each
4 players = Everyone has 1 character

At least that's how I remember interpreting it

*KROW* · 08-28-2004, 12:04 PM

So you can switch turtles while playing? Like say you're Leo and your health is failing. Then you press a button and Leo jumps off-screen and Raphael jumps in. Is that how it works?

*Coola Yagami* · 08-28-2004, 01:32 PM

*sighs* Video game companies... Always have to make things so damned complicated... why the hell not make it a 1-4 player beat em up game? Hell, Konami themselves made the arcades back then, had they already forgotten how it's done??? I even heard that all 4 turtles will share a huge life bar. Hell no. I don't wanna die cause one of the other guys playing is a sucky player...

*Ecto Jedi* · 08-28-2004, 02:51 PM

Come on now, give the game a brake Coola_Yogami. The screenshots look awesome and this new character-switching feature will add some much-needed depth to the arcade stylings.

I suppose you were also one of the many who complained that the first game was repetitive and boring, huh?

Demonfox38 · 08-28-2004, 03:40 PM

Actually, that's kind of cool that you can split characters up between people. If you're bi-polar, sometimes it's good to switch!

This'll probably make a good problem-solving deal, too. A little RPG element never hurt anyone . . .'cept for Areis Gainsborough.

Just to clarify, even in 1 player all the turtles share one health bar so switching between them won't save you

*KROW* · 08-29-2004, 01:02 PM

Hmm. Unless you're better at fighting with a certain one, that is.

But that kind of sucks. There's always got to be something that makes people lower their expectations. Always a catch. That's a real bite in the ass.

The question I have is when you have the other characters unlocked will you be able to switch from a turtle to them or do you have to use that set of characters instead of the turtles and you can't mix and match.

In which case each person could have 1 turtle and one unlockable character. That would be cool.

Though admitedly... this is rather confusing.

Tigershard · 08-31-2004, 08:12 AM

I figured if you are playing single player you will only have one Turtle on the screen, and then switch to another when you need his special ability, and that the screens of four turtles is Konami demonstrating four player mode.
