Another element the teams are being coy about is the inclusion of playable characters besides the Turtles. There’s no doubt Shredder’s Revenge will play smoother than the old games, and features such as new modes and other options are implied but not confirmed. The teams aren’t ready to talk specifics they are only offering hints by saying the classic games, fun as they were, hit a ceiling in terms of technical limitations, which are now a thing of the past. So that was the idea that started it.”ĭespite clearly going for nostalgia, Shredder’s Revenge will sport modern enhancements. And including us, because, personally, I played those games a lot as a kid and I missed them a lot.
TMNT 4 ARCADE SERIES
“We wanted to bring back a game for the fans of the ‘87 animated series and also the old arcade games of the ‘90s,” says Tribute Games co-founder Jean-Francois Major. From the game’s character and art design to the remade version of that famous theme song (performed by Faith No More’s Mike Patton), Shredder’s Revenge is designed to be the ultimate love letter to TMNT’s glory years. Both Dotemu and Tribute Games are staffed by old-school TMNT fans who, like many of us, were raised on the classic cartoon, collected its multitude of toys, and spent way too much money playing the arcade games.

The game draws inspiration from the iconic 1987 animated show, and if you’re somehow worried that the developers don’t understand the source material, jettison those doubts now. Each Turtle possesses a unique combo attack, but unlike TMNT 3 - no energy is drained while using it.Like any TMNT game worth its salt, Shredder’s Revenge lets up to four friends team up both locally and online (cross-play to be determined) to beat the tar out of villains like the Foot Clan, Bebop, Rocksteady, and Shredder himself. Leonardo is a good all-rounder but Michelangelo, with his fast as lightening nunchucks was my favourite. Donatello has the largest reach, while Raphael has the highest attack speed but the lowest defence. Similar to TMNT 3 on the NES, choosing your character dictated the style of gameplay you would experience. They chose not to, they chose to develop an absolute masterpiece of level design and a game which screamed FUN - all in capital letters at the players. Konami had crafted unexpected longevity in a game where they could have created four levels and milked the money from the fans. I was genuinely shocked and pleased at this turn of events. No, in a twist of genius, just when you thought the game was over, you are caught in a time vortex and must fight your way through time to get to the final boss fight with Krang and Shredder.

But thinking that the game was a bit short, Shredder was obviously the final boss, defeat him and the game would end.wouldn't it? I remember reaching this stage and thinking how cool it was to have fought bad guys from the films and I marvelled at the Shredder boss battle (once I worked out what I had to do to defeat him!).
