I played the hell out of the TMNT RPG back in the day.
Bio-E points were the shiznit.
"But if I give up hands and speech, I can breathe underwater."
That was the one made by Palladium, right? I used to run a Rifts campaign where one of the player characters was a mutant animal from the TMNT universe who had travelled through time.

So, if one were an aspiring game designer with no coding experience - just artistic, and one had drafted a design document that he or she feels would result in an awesome game based on a license (such as the turtles), what would the next step be? Contacting the game company that holds the license and asking them to review it?
The first step would be either learning how to code or employing a programmer to do your coding for you
Then, make your game and get it published over something like Live or 360's Creators Community, sans license cause you don't want your ass sued
Hopefully it does well and whatever company you want to work for will hire you, probably as a grunt programmer/ artistic design guy
Then maybe, maybe, maaaaaaaaaaaaybe, over many years, get promoted eventually to game director/producer, and finally having laterality to make the game you always wanted
Or, you can send your idea in to the game company, and they'll be legally obligated to reject your idea out of hand, most likely whilst laughing at you for your foolishness
Man, just reading that makes me exhausted. Hooray for bureaucracy!
Oh man, I was worried you were going to take what I said the wrong way
I know how aggravating it must be to have someone piss on your dreams
But yeah. Basically, the games industry is no different than the movies/TV/etc industry...they're not gonna take your TOTALLY RAD idea about how KITT and MacGuyver team up to blow up Voltron on top of Mecha-Godzilla
Luckily, if it's something you truly care about, breaking "into" the industry isn't difficult, just time-consuming. Coding is surprisingly easy to learn, just incredibly boring to do
So I was already done with Power Rangers by the time whatever-season-this-is rolled around, so apparently I missed the little gem of info that there was a TMNT crossover. Really ... you ain't missing much. If you acknowledge that these two universes have crossed paths, you're like 90% good on the subject.
Or you know Youtube it if you really need to.

I asked that very question in this thread yesterday!
Apparently he had a furry ninja girlfriend named Ninjara.
A ninja named Ninjara. Yeah...
Lemme guess, the entire furry community masturbated furiously to this, right?
I think she's fairly obscure. Oddly enough while a GIS will show fan pr0ns of her stroking Raph off, I don't see a scan from when they were in the same bed in the comics.
Ninja Turtles comics got really goddamn weird near the end.
Like when the Turtles were having conversations with Yin/Yang symbols.
I actually might be wrong about WHO Raph was banging, as this suggests that he found a DIFFERENT Fox girl, and I'm pretty sure I'm remembering the future timeline.

Turtles age really well. They might get arthritis and some of their eyes will turn red, but they look the same for the most part.

Splinter from old age.
So this means no little splinters scittering around in the trash.
God I'd love for some developer to make a Turtles game with the love that Arkham Asylum got. A combo of stealth and action, solid T rating, and the multiplayer would be a new arcade game in the vein of the originals. And, damnit, I want to be able to have all red masks on the Turtles as a customization option (even if if is confusing).
I've been on a Re-shelled bender so it's got mind working...
So I've actually just started watching the 2002 series. I'm four episodes in.
Um, does it get better? Mike's catchphrases are getting old, Baxter Stockman is generic and annoying, the plots are paper-thin and the voice acting is a little iffy. I realize it takes some series a while to warm up, but this has just been meh so far.
It gets much better. and is consistently enjoyable right until they do the Fast forward season.

I have exactly one TMNT comic and it is the weirdest fucking thing. There are these guys running around stealing shit and when the turtles stop them they commit suicide and their faces melt off, and Leonardo is running a dojo, and Raphael has an eyepatch, and Donatello has what I can only figure is Hitler's brain in a jar.
WTF.
As to the new 2002 series, I liked it. It grows a beard when Shredder first almost kills them, IIRC. Also, crazy aliens. And Baxter slow decline into a crazy robot.

I don't know. It was hooked up to some crazy giant TV monitor and was displaying what looked like WWII with nazi banners all over the place and stuff. It could be some random other person from WWII, but my money is seriously on Hitler's brain.

I was hoping they wouldn't play up the campy-ness quite so much. Also, what's with the new voices? All the original cast are still alive. Most aren't older than mid-50's.

They sort of 60's Batmanized the old show. It wasn't nearly that bad it was also pretty dark at times .
Also the voices are creepy as shit. Especially Leonardo.

Yeah, it was Hitler's brain. That whole future arc was pretty awesome. The turtles get power armor at some point, and it's all post-apocalyptic and crap, and I think there was this mutant shark, and at one point I think they even brought Shredder into the storyline from one of the very first stories the comics had where he mysteriously disappeared, except he didn't he was whisked away into the future!

There was an ep of the Turtles cartoon from a few years ago that touched on this alternate reality. All four were transported to different places. Raph to a alien race, Leo to Usagi's world, Mike to a world where the turtles are superheroes with powers and Splinter was the villian and Don got transported to a post-apocalyptic world. In it, he had died/disappeared, Leo was scared with black sunglasses (possibly blind), Mike had lost his left arm and Raph was scared as well and has lost his left eye. Here's a link with a synopsis for it.
the smash-up thing is a direct to dvd movie staring the turtles from 2003 and the old 80's ones. it looks to be atleast a fun watch, but yeah the voices for the old turtles are messed up and they make fun of the older show it looks like.
it's coming out soon, i think, to coincide with that wii game and stuff.
I have no idea how to feel about this. But it's probably not good. Nickelodeon has had a few good shows like Zim and Avatar, but it's usually despite their best efforts.

Yeah we saw how well Nick treated those series.
I pity anyone who feels hope that this means anything good for the turtles.
I kind of envy them too, in a way, because they are obviously taking some really good shit.

I don't understand why you'd use the campy Turtles if you weren't going to emphasize the campyness.
Because the campyness was pretty much nonexistent? I mean there were some bad moments especially towards the end but the series never had the Turtles do crap like fight banana monsters and make it a point to say they rescue April once a week.
As to this Nickelodeon thing. Viacom owns this. Which means they'll probably aim it at kids for a bit. Then they'll realize the audience is 18-35 year olds and move it to MTV or something and we'll get a darker tone.
