January 16, 2003 - Today at its Gamers' Day, Konami of America revealed that an all-new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game is on its way to GameCube, PlayStation 2, and PC. Confirmed by the producer 4Kids Entertainment in September of 2002, Konami has been tight-lipped about its TMNT acquired license until today. Additionally, a pocket version for Game Boy Advance is planned for simultaneous release in October 2003. Looks like turtle shells and leftover pizza is back in for Halloween kids.

The new offering will be based on the revival of the franchise, which the Fox network is bringing back to Saturday morning this February. The show is still based on the famous green dudes Leanardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael, as they seek constant retribution upon Shredder. The game is described as 3D "fighting/action," where players will draw upon their ninja skills to kick, punch, and dodge their way through packs of Foot Ninjas. With a Story Mode and a Vs. Mode there is room for both single and multiplayer action. Whether there is cooperative play for Story Mode is not yet confirmed, but it seems likely.

So now that we have our Turtles in a Half-Shell back, can we expect our Battletoads fix as well? Click on our media page for preliminary art, and expect us to return with more details soon.

You obviously don't know anything about either one of them. What's wrong with PS2 and GC?

<--Proud owner of just about every North American Nintendo console aside from the Virtual Boy (which I hunt for almost obsessively). So there.

BigThew · 02-01-2003, 05:49 PM

please no console wars....just posting about the new game

Donatello02 · 02-01-2003, 05:57 PM

Oh yeah, Xbox is so much better, what with it's amazing ability to freeze your game every ten minutes, and that nift lil control that makes you have to reach just to hit the top button.

Cherubae · 02-01-2003, 07:02 PM

Even if you don't own a Ps2, Gc, or GBa, the game is still coming out for PC

Ahhhhhhhhhhh. I used to have a Virtual Boy when it came out... I returned it a week later. Haha, its cool that you're searching for it, but its utter trash in my opinion.

I currently own all Nintendo systems besides the Virtual Boy. Haha, and I'm glad its that way!

Um... yeah...

Anyways, I'll probably get it for the PS2. *dances*

Stupid up to date gaming technology *goes play Mario RPG*

**Karpo_007** · 02-02-2003, 07:42 AM

It is totally pointless to argue wich console is the best. The truth is, it doesn't matter, all that matters is the games that is released to them. For TMNT fans, the choice right now is either PS2 or GC. Luckily it is coming to PC too, and a Powerfull PC has always better graphics than any console. OF course PC has it's weaknesess.

And for the GBA game, I really hope they won't make it like a semi 3d game like MOTU for example. For GBA I would like to have a pure 2D game that plays like the Arcade game.
