Ubisoft announced the future release of TMNT: Smash Up, a 4 players fighting game developed by Game Arts and featuring the famous Ninja Turtles. Looks like it will be a Wii exclusive.
"Developed by a team made up of ex-Smash and ex-Team Ninja staff, TMNT is set to bring a similar arena-based fighting design as Brawl did early last year on Wii."
if it was multiplat, it would have had a reason to exist....for every console owner to experience a smash bro's like game....but on the wii, which already has smash bro's, what exactly is the point of it?
Party fighting on a great social console makes sense enough I reckon, but what's really confusing is they're using the CG movie look from like three years ago. From what I've heard, the new one won't even look like that, so this already seems dated in that sense.
Why not go for an appealing, neutral cartoon look instead?
I'm an old time TMNT fan though so stick this full of enough familiar faces and have gameplay that somewhat backs it up and I'll be game.

They say it's not based on any of the existing incarnations, it's just a mish mash. They definitely don't look too much like the recent CG movie though, besides the darker skin colour.
But again, I loved the show as a kid so I'm looking forward to what they can do with this, it'll be interesting to see which characters they include. There's a lot of potiential here.

Because the Wii is a party system and variety is not a bad thing. That could be why it exists.

I loved this game, you can play with different characters, each with their own abilities. You had a dash, that was basically like flying - Really cool mechanic. Squaresoft at its best. (2 Days ago)

Found the game I mentioned - never thought to look for it till now. The name is "Soukaigi": [url] Seeing some comments of people who looked for it for 10 years. Crazy! (2 Days ago)

But got to a place where I couldn't progress further, because I didn't understand Japanese - before 2000, I wanna say. Really liked it and still remember it randomly sometimes. (2 Days ago)

And then later their American versions. There was this Japanese game only released in Japan, I think it was from Squaresoft, the game was quite cool and I went very far in it. (2 Days ago)

@nostradamus: Yes, PSX, N64 & Sega Saturn as well. Those days, I played a lot of imported games. I believe I played Final Fantasy 8 around 6 months before the US release. Tenchu 1 & 2 in Japanese. (2 Days ago)
