I've been waiting for decades for somebody to expand on the brawler concept. We've made a little progress with Aliens Vs. Predator (Capcom, Arcade), but the concept hasn't been fun ever since that game.
I know a bad idea when I see it. Sorry this is not going to be a fun game. It's going to be a boring combo exercise, with an addictive item purchasing system, and the fun concepts such as being able to clear a room with telephone poles will be too far and too between to justify the hype. Don't get too excited over this game guys.
Well shit guys, we better not get excited. This dude said so.
Wait, which movie was Turtles In Time? Was that the third?
I think I only saw the first and that one.
I actually saw Turtles In Time at a prescreening. I used to have a button from it.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III was the one with the time travel plot, though it's subtitle wasn't Turtles in Time. Turtles in Time was the second Konami arcade game, which was ported to the SNES as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time and converted into The Hyperstone Heist for the Genesis.

Pack it up and head home.
Oh fuck.
He's right. This game is going to be NO GOOD.
You know, because it obviously plays exactly like Aliens vs. Predator and company...which... is... a good thing? So.. .this game will... suck?

A redesigned version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time, the time travel concept was removed from this version and replaced by a plot where Shredder uses the Hyperstone to shrink Manhattan Island to the size of a bottle. Several of the stages of the original arcade game are used, with their odd, non-modern appearance explained away — for example, the pirate ship becomes a ghost ship.
So, you're sorta right. Same levels in places, but changed enough to be a different game.

Fair enough. To be honest, I have little experience with both games...rented THH as a kid, played some TIT every now and then when I could. I bought a Generation NEX last night though, so I'm going to dominate the first three Turtles games when I get off work. Well...get dominated by the first one, but whatever. It will be more than fun.
I wrote TIT.
Back on topic, sort of: Has anyone read the full review of the DS version of TMNT? Just what is the game? Is it essentially the same as the console versions?
EDIT: Just read IGN's preview of the DS version, it sounds....interesting. Like Sonic and Secret Rings meets Prince of Persia, kinda. Combat on the sparse side. Despite NP's 5/10 review, I kind of hope I get the chance to play the game some time.

According to that angry video game nerd jackass , the movie didn't have a subtitle. There is clearly room for one in the opening graphic, however.
Also, I would HIGHLY recommend staying away from the Wiki for the movie. The entire movie's plot is laid out, including stuff that builds off those two preview movies.
Don't say I didn't warn you. I read it, I don't regret reading it (I don't expect to see the movie anytime soon), but it is fairly complete.
I figure this is probably the best place to ask this without starting another turtles thread...
I am after the original Turtles Movie on DVD, but I seem to recall the region 2 dvd being cut, or lacking something important (5.1 maybe), however this was a long while back when I checked it out. Having just looked at a few sites I can't see any differences from the descriptions (possibly there is a new version on region2, or I just made up the differences).
Does anyone know if theres a good reason I should pick up the region 1 dvd over the region 2?
Also, this game is £14.99 on Play.com, I think I will be picking it up I enjoyed reliving the arcade on my 360 last week, and may pick up the new 360 game as well (Incidently, £29.99 on play in a cool looking box).

Well what happened was that TiT was paid to be an exclusive but Konami wanted some mad monnies so they made a "new" game. It's kinda a weak remix is all. By the letter of the law its a differant game - but certainly its all the same things.
Might as well drop it in here. Been to see the new turtles film. It's pretty decent. If you were hoping for some hyperviolent bloodfest then this might not be for you. But if you liked the live action films, then it's pretty similar. Could have done with being a bit longer but all in all worth watching.

Can somebody clear something up for me? The SNES TMNT IV: Turtles in Time. Was it two-player only, or could four players join in as long as there was a multi-tap?

I am 99% certain that it was two-player only.
It is. Having 4 at once would make the game too easy. The SNES version of the game can only handle 4 foot soldiers on the screen at a time so having 1 for each turtle would just be unbalanced in our favor.

That's what I thought. I was debating whether Mutant Nightmare was worth a purchase for four player TiT. I guess it is then.

I'm guessing that's a port of the arcade game then. My experience with the arcade game is very limited as the only machine near me I know of is a couple hundred miles away but my problems with the arcade game were no Rat King, no Technodrome which means no fight with Shredder where you throw soldiers at him, and there's no Slash. That's as far as I got though. However, no Slash is just a travesty. He's the hardest boss in the SNES version and his awesomeness is right up there with Super Shredder so I'm sad he's not in the arcade game. The arcade game is so much tougher though it's not even funny. I can beat the SNES game on hard in one credit but my first time playing the arcade game I actually died in level 1. Those couple extra foot soldiers can really mess you up when you're used to the usual 4. I think that extra difficulty makes up for the lack of Slash though and I've considered getting Mutant Nightmare for it. Anyone know if they made huge changes to it like the first arcade game when they put it on..... whatever game they put it on?
I liked the demo of TMNT2: Battle Nexus enough to buy it. Big mistake, as I found out that there were some poorly-implemented platforming elements added later on in.
Is TMNT 3 better in this regard? Keep in mind, I played a ways into the first game of this past generation, and liked it fine.

I just read a review of it for GCN on Gamespy, and from what I gather it's an improvement, though not terribly significant. It does, however, have the aforementioned TiT on it, so i'll be hunting around for it.
On another note, I can't help but sort of wish the voices were consistent with the new toon, or the first movie, or something. I mean, they carry the same characteristics, more or less, but...
Anyway, in case it's been overlooked and you want to bone up on your classic Mirage Turtles, they have several issues available for free at the bottom of this page.

It doesn't have it. It uses a mechanic where you can swap between the turtles at anytime to use each of their abilities. You start the stage with only Leo, the more flips you do, fights you win or stunts you pull off builds up the meter to add Mike. When you max the meter out, Mike joins you and you can flip to him at any time by hitting X (You do a funny ninja spin and characters swap). Then the bar builds up to add Don and then Raph.
It wouldn't work as coop, it's too on rails and the team aspect is fairly integrated in to the one player. For example if you're jumping a gap that's too long you hit X and one of your buds swings in, grabs you and chucks you further. You can do other group moves by holding down X mid fight. I won't let slip the moves as they're pretty fun to see for the first time!
I imagine you haven't played very many of these kinds of games. Also, he was referring to the GBA version, your post reads like you may be thinking of the other versions.

It should be noted that there is a bar on the screen of the GBA version which would fit pretty well with what Mr Grinch is describing, but I doubt that is its purpose.
It looks like the bar in the Console versions that builds up as you fight. When it hits the top the screen goes in to slow-mo. It's probably something similar except instead of slow-mo it'll be a super move that knocks down/kills everyone.

No platforming at all. I don't think there is even any place you can fall off.

On the second issue now, and enjoying it (really digging the art, I've always loved independent comics), but Jesus Christ, does Mirage's bandwidth suck...

The art is rough, but I always found it endearing. They told some great stories back in those books, especially once they get to the City at War and Return to New York arcs.

Uhm.
...granted, it says "working title", but I'm certain it had that subtitle when I saw it.
In fact, if I can find that button, I'd bet it says it too. Although chances are I long ago threw it out or something.
For the record, I'm very sure Turtles in Time and The Hyperstone Heist are two different games. Same mechanics, similiar graphics, different story.

Any reviews out yet for the console versions?
How 'bout the movie? Will it rape my childhood like the third one did? Will it bend it over like a catholic priest?
I haven't seen any reviews of the movie yet either. RottenTomatoes has nothing.
1) It has to be as good or better than the 2k3 cartoon. And that was pretty damn awesome.
2) It may not be a GOOD film, but I'll likely enjoy it anyway. Same logic that worked with Silent Hill
3) The CGI is beautiful, so no matter what I'll just tune out the audio and look at the pretty pictures.
