    I'm sure someone's said it, but why couldn't they make the GBA version but with DS graphics and gameplay?

    You mean...why couldn't they make the DS version more like the GBA version?

    Something like that.

    I don't think this is going to be QUITE as good as everyone seems to think, but I'd nevertheless be willing to give this a shot. It looks like it reproduces the animation of the original Turtles arcade game quite well, with Raphael putting serious weight behind each swing of his sai blades.

    I havent really followed the new cartoon, so I looked at Wikipedia and... uh... wow.

    So 4Kids completely ignored the huge cliffhanger at the end of the last season and replaced it with "LOLZ TURTLEZ IN TEH FUTURRRRR!!!" That's pretty terrible. 4Kids just keeps getting worse and worse.

    The rest of the storyarc was to be released on DVD, and had aired in other countries.

    So far, no DVDs here, but they have started coming out... in other countries.

    At least most of the eps are on YouTube.

    This is looking pretty nice alright. I can't believe it took them this too long to figure out.

    Shame about the music though, I miss the catchy rock tunes from the old games.

    Nintendo Power's Review

    GBA... 7.0 -- "Regular gamers and TMNT aficionados alike will enjoy the tight gameplay and quality fan service"

    DS... 5.5 -- "Success gives you a feeling of accomplishment, but the path is paved with frustration."

    I wish I could read the full reviews. That GBA one is especially confusing, considering the summary isn't... you know... criticizing anything. I wonder if they whine about it not having all the bells and whistles of modern games?

    Well, it's rated PG to get the license back out there.

    Here's hoping for a PG-13 sequel with some E&L darkness to it, if it succeeds.

    The first TMNT movie was PG, and it had plenty of darkness. I want another movie like that.

    Why would they be complaining about anything?

    A 7.0 is an "average" score. Not everything that doesn't suck deserves a 9.

    This just in: The TMNT PC demo + 360 controller = Win.

    I was very impressed by the demo, but not the mouse/arrow controls. The 360 controller makes me want a demo on 360, to see how pretty it is.

    heh, i was waiting for someone to bring up the "wrong" colors of the bandanna's in the image i posted, WAY TO RUIN MY FUN.

    but the new character designs i don't like because their faces look "square" i guess.
    I actually like the idea of the bandanas being one color because it reinforces their unity and they avoid looking like a rainbow at the same time.

    I'm definitely not too fond of the faces myself. I think they were trying to go for a more realistic representation of a turtle's jaw, but it really isn't as effective as the "saggy" faces used in the early comics.

    Here's a few examples of the biggest offenders:

    I don't think they look bad, either.

    Plus, while the animation quality doesn't seem to be 100% top notch Pixar output, at least it actually looks good and supports the overall style.

    I think we're lucky. The movie could have easily ended up looking like Hoodwinked...

    The human designs seem a bit awkward, but since there aren't that many humans to speak of in the movie, I think it'll be all right. And hopefully Casey Jones will wear the hockey mask for at least a reasonable amount of time, so that will help.

    I was so excited when I heard that Konami would be making more Turtles games after as much time as there was following the classics, and I couldn't imagine a better reason for the Japanese publisher to be picking this up (continuing their legacy and all)... so then why did they go on to run it into the ground with crappy games and get out done by the very next developer to nab the license? It's just that much worse that all Ubi had to do was stick top Konami's old formula when even Konami refused to.

    Anyway, I've watched the 1080p trailer many times now and I'm just not excited for the movie. The hand-picked jokes aren't just for kids, they're simply not funny. Some people chuckle anytime they hear the "did anyone catch the license plate of that..." line but they're retards. To say that it's funny because he also insulted his own mother doesn't change things. Calling a clasping scream a "move" isn't funny. All I'm saying is that if it's not going to be funny, just take the funny out and be epic and moody... even PG-moody is fine.

    I read the first issue and I don't remember there being anything about them having the same mother just because they were all baby turtles. Did the new movie get that right? It's kinda hard for four wild turtles from the same set of eggs to get bottled all at once by some kid or whatever, and straight-up wild turtles wouldn't spend a moment near eachother after hatching one by one.

    Okay, you're thinking way, way too much about this. It's just a fun, stupid kid's movie that looks to be about a thousand times better than the shit cartoon we grew up watching.

    I believe it's specifically intended as a direct sequel to the first live-action movie, retconning the other two out of existence.

    Damn, I need to see that movie again...

    And I liked the cartoon. :(
