Shout "Cowabunga" For The Turtles In Time Remake!

Katrina "ShadokatRegn" Pawlowski May 1st, 2009 at 2:39 PM    


Turtles in Time is arguably the fan favorite of the classic Ninja Turtles games. Well, some (hopefully) good news for Turtles fans everywhere: Turtles in Time gets a 3D remake on the Xbox arcade! According to Ninja Pizza, who gave the demo a test drive, this Turtles in Time remake updated a lot of the things that needed to be updated, and left the rest well enough alone.
 

    • The game is set up and directly taken from TMNT Turtles in Time.

    • Right now it's only going to be for Xbox Live, but they're working on bringing it to Wii (Virtual Console?).

    • It has the same music as the old game.

    • Only the levels "Alleycat Blues" and "Skull and Crossbones" were playable.

    • The only difference noticed was the bosses for the "Skull and Crossbones" is Tokka and Rahzar (unlike the original, which had Bebop and Rocksteady).

    • For Alleycat Blues the boss is still Metalhead.

    • The game is basically Turtles in Time with new graphics – Awesome!


Hopefully they've upgraded the 2 player co-op to 4 players, especially now that we have the wonderful internet available!

To me, this is how remakes should be. Updated graphics, original music and locations, and Tokka and Rahzar. Plain and simple, I can be 10 years old again playing my SNES, enjoying an afternoon of Pizza and Turtles. Join me for some amazing co-op, as we relive the good old days! Dibs on Donatello!

Let's hope the bosses are something other than cheese.

The original TMNT arcade game is my favorite, but I'd definitely love to play Turtles in Time again.

"Right now it's only going to be for Xbox Live, but they're working on bringing it to Wii (Virtual Console?)."

Hopefully we're talking about the remake being available on WiiWare, and not just a VC release of Turtles in Time for the SNES. I would prefer to have the remake, myself.

This news totally made my day! I'll take any Turtle as long as I get to play!

Definitly a fav like said before this game craves 4 player action hopefully the combat sys has been updated with maybe a combo sys but heres hopeing.
 
BigBadBob113 at 02:39 PM on 5.1.2009


It sounds like most everything stayed the same, so Im assuming the controls and combat (attack and jump) remain the same. But thats cool. I like having a mindless beat-em-up. Thats why I love my Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection!!!

MY TOE MY TOE!

This is great news!

Dibs on Raphael. I can't wait to go through Hard mode, although I'm hoping a "classic graphics" mode is available as well. An alternative Manual Dash option would be good too. (eg, hold L/R to dash.) I always found the double-tap a bit too clunky.

I still remember beating Hard mode on the SNES Jap version with my brothers. (Unlike the easymode US version, it maxes out at 3 lives and 3 continues, so it's a lot harder.)

Throwing foot soldiers around left and right. Good times.

I'm with Mike, the original TMNT Arcade is my favorite, though this one's no slouch. I'd be interested, but a co-op demo would go a long way to sway me!

Am I the only one who sports Donnie?

Hey now, I called dibs on "Donnie" in the article

Nerds RULE!

Gah, someone already called Raph, huh? I'll fight you for him!

This is one of my favorite games of all time, and one of the only beat'em-ups I could ever get into, next to Maximum Carnage. I just hope this does eventually make it to the Wii, at least. It's Ubisoft, so it'll probably be on everything eventually.

HAHA sorry I didnt catch that. He was always my favorite. He's the reason I ended up training with a bo staff when I was studying martial arts.

It will be hard to choose which shell to inhabit. How about a random character option?
 
sackoflemons at 08:48 AM on 5.5.2009
I've been hoping they would make this for a long time. I used to play this game all the time as a kid.
