Return of Tournament Fighters? New 2.5D TMNT fighter from Smash Bros and Team Ninja

Yeah I know right?

Jiorn:

That is some nice artwork for a what if TMNT: HDR. Someone gonna jump on the wagon and get the ball rolling on that?

It really will depend on how they choose to market the game. In the end, it will likely depend on if they want to a) market this game towards older series fans or b) will try to keep this as kid-friendly as possible. After all, even if this game isn’t meant to be tied to any specific iteration of the franchise, there at least IS still a cartoon airing on Fox, at the moment.

Logically, I wouldn’t expect so much from a game that’s trying to muscle in on Smash’s “party arena fighter” turf. But hey, what do I know? :rofl:

At this point, what I would REALLY like to see would be that the supposed Story Mode would do much to satiate the wants of fans like myself, who want a truly awesome Turtles beat 'em up. Brawl’s “SubSpace” mode showed that such a thing is certainly possible, but certainly would need more in the way of being “solid”. I’d like to think the Team Ninja personalities involved would have what it takes to do something about. And hey, make it up to 4 player co-op, for old time’s sake! :wgrin:

I’m going to check up on NeoBlood, and see how he’s progressing.

I actually wrote a proposal in regards to this idea a little while ago, and posted it in the TMNT: TF forum, but recieved no response of interest. Guess I’ll take another look, revise, and see what can be done with it.

Yeah.

I’d like to know how much say Laird and Eastman have over the game, as I assume they still own the copyrights to the TMNT license. If they’re gearing themselves towards an adult/dark based movie, then their minds are already moving in the direction people like you, me, Sonichuman, and most of SRK want. I think a bombardment of emails with our opinions could be enough to make their decision easy. SRK is a big name in the fighting game community, and they’d be foolish to not at the very least listen. Perhaps we can get Mr. Wizard to send something, as he is top-dong.

True. Hopefully intuition will win out on this decision then. I’m not much of a fan of logic anyway.

Yeah. There is a big current of people wanting things like this, and the aforementioned seriousness in TMNT/Batman/Marvel/etc, and that’s what Team’s Smash and Ninja could possibly pick up on intuitively. I guess we’ll be finding out pretty soon…

So it is still not known if it’s based on the comic, the 80’s toon, or the 03’s toon?

It’s not based on any particular period AFAIK, but rather a combination of all of them.

Ah cool then.

Grappler/Censored Mikey vs. Nunchuk Mikey!

I dunno if they’ll go as far to include the censored UK Mikey though, haha, over here in Aus (and I think everywhere) he still had the nunchuks, heh.

Ah true. lol

How about robo-Baxter vs. Fly Baxter?

Dammit, when I made this thread, I really didn’t want/intend for it to turn into a Smash debate.

really now? No offense Switch but you know how it is around here with most people’s opinions on smash…that debate’s for the most part gone now…but it’s going to rear it’s ugly head again…count on it.

My own ignorance betrays me.

Don’t give them easy ideas for “clones”, now! :rofl::rofl:

Any way, few more details emerge. Dunno how much is “new” or not.

From The Technodrome Forum

A big “Le Sigh” for the Story Mode blurb. Hopefully, just because it’s not going to be a carbon copy of Ssubspace, doesn’t mean it can’t be an interesting thing that does its own thing (with CO-OP, ideally…)

so they aren’t trying to do tmnt tournament fighters at all then. If they were smart they wouldn’t be just ‘considering’ putting in other ways to play.

Agreed.

This needs at LEAST GC and Classic Controller support.

With fighting games on the wii having different control schemes shouldn’t even really be ‘considered’ IMO at this point. The first person at the round table who even mentions wiimote and/or wiimote and nunchuk controls only and fighting game in the same sentence should have the company ninja come in and immediately disembowel them. I ain’t kidding about this…believe it.

Well TvC has similar control set-up with Brawl (compatible with mote, nunchuck + mote, gc, and classic), so I think this would too.

Also, needs more Tricerotop aliens.

Why the wii is my question.

Id love a brawl type fighter for the 360 or even the PS3

I think the wii is less expensive to develop for.

and in the case of this game, the console that their target audience is most likely to own

welp

THis might really bangin’

Smash fags? lol, chill out.

This might be kinda cool though.
