Beat It Back to the ’90s with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, a New Retro-Style Beat-‘Em-Up

Dotemu, the writer and developer behind final 12 months’s retro beat-em-up Streets of Rage 4, has joined up with developer Tribute Video games, a crew consisting of parents who labored on Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Recreation whereas at Ubisoft, to launch a brand new installment within the long-running Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sequence of beat-em-ups.

The brand new recreation, titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, is being made in collaboration with Nickelodeon, and appears superior, to be utterly sincere. The announcement got here by means of an animated trailer displaying off the turtles preventing tons of acquainted foes, like Bebop, Rocksteady and Shredder. Moreover, we get to see April O’Neil and Grasp Splinter take part on among the enjoyable in opposition to Foot ninjas and robots.

As an apart, falling again into saying issues like “Foot ninjas” has me feeling like a child on Saturday morning and I’m completely right here for it.

Talking of taking me means again, the sport’s pixel artwork fashion and the character designs appear meant to invoke the basic TV adaptation from the ‘80s. The sport’s Steam itemizing goes as far as to say that “Each character, automobile, weapon, merchandise, and background is straight impressed by the 1987 TV present, making you are feeling such as you hopped into the tv.”

He’s all the time been the very best brother and also you’re all mistaken to assume in any other case.

Whereas no launch date was given, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge shall be coming to PC and a nebulous assortment of “consoles” when it does come out. Within the meantime, I’ve acquired to get again into TMNT instantly.
