Shell out for TMNT: Smash Up on September 22

by James Ransom-Wiley { Jun 1st 2009 at 10:45PM }

Rest assured, plummeting Turtles do land. More specifically: TMNT: Smash Up will land on September 22, Ubisoft announced during its E3 press conference today. A new trailer of the Brawl-made brawler was also on display, featuring our first look at Shredder (eaten by a giant crocodile) and April (now a katana-wielding ninja). Cowabunga?

I remember they said originally that it was set for September, before they slated it for the vaguer release date of "Fall"

Now i just have to hope that Nintendo's late-year schedule fits around this. I would hate to have to miss it.

"...and April (now a katana-wielding ninja)..."

Someone didn't see the most recent Ninja Turtles movie.

Which is a shame, since it was good.

Leo Vs Raph = GLORIOUS.

TwEE @ Jun 1st 2009 11:14PM

Rocksteady and Bebop better be in this!

Fo0dNippl3 @ Jun 1st 2009 11:20PM

Agreed!

A TMNT smash bros clone? Really? I'm not saying that it's going to be a bad game, I just don't think that the ninja turtles are still culturally relevent. I know there are still fans around, but are there enough to support this game? I doubt it.

" I just don't think that the ninja turtles are still culturally relevent"

Yeah they are. Why else did they just have a movie. A movie that did fairly well. Also the cartoon series. So yeah, they are stil relevent.

I am controlling my nerd. They are relevant to me the same way star wars, gi joe, and more are. Part of my childhood and also Mirage comics made indie publishers plausible. I read TMNT and Tales of the TMNT to this day.

I understand where he is coming from. They haven't done the series any true justice in a while. I mean, yeah it squeaks by but it could be so much cooler than they made it out to be.

Still, until everyone who enjoyed the original series has died, there will always be a place for a bucket of ooze.

Blank-Mage @ Jun 1st 2009 11:47PM

Wicker Man, you give me a high five RIGHT THE HELL NOW.

THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Jun 1st 2009 11:52PM

*Throws three-fingered highfive*

(whew...that was a...SHELL OF A GOOD TIME!)

"I know there are still fans around, but are there enough to support this game? I doubt it." I KILL THE NON-BELIEVER!!

Massmass @ Jun 1st 2009 11:40PM

Looks and sounds very homebrew like.

Roto13 @ Jun 1st 2009 11:51PM

Isn't this by the Smash Bros. team, minus Sakurai?

TwEE @ Jun 2nd 2009 11:39AM

Some of the Brawl guys are working on it.

isotrex @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:24AM

Oh man, not another Smash Bros. rip-off. Don't get me wrong. I'm a huge fan of TMNT. But, making it in a smash bros. style of game is kinda getting old unless of course there's something new in it that hasn't been done before. Well, might as well check it out when it releases. It could kick ass... or not.

Yatcho @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:29AM

Name 2 Smash Bros. clones.

wud_e @ Jun 2nd 2009 9:24AM

I was going to ask the same thing Yatcho. Nothing comes to mind. Who cares either way though this game looks to be great.

TwEE @ Jun 2nd 2009 11:43AM

Guys the walls of time and space are thin here at joystiq. Theres a very good chance he comes from another dimension where Smash Bros clones have flooded the market..

Dont rule it out.

Well, there's Onimusha Blade Warriors and this one... and all the SSB games starting from SNES. That's all I could think of. I hate it when games are ripping off other games. Cause most of them doesn't really appeal of got bad reviews. In short, it ends crappy. But hey, let's just wait and see. Maybe this game will rock... or maybe not. Also, since there's no original idea left in this world I guess and "The Simpsons Already Did It", SSB developers should be proud of this.

And you know what, ripping off and cloning other game and just changing some small elements isn't fun anymore. That's what SSB is supposed to be - unique in so many aspects. I'm pretty sure in no time many other clones will come judging from the successes of SSB series.
