TMNT IV: Turtles in Time is one of my personal favorites. Based on the 4 player arcade classic, the SNES version has the reputation of being one of the best beat’em ups of all time.
Of course, with all this popularity, a remake was inevitable, and so goes the transformation from this:
To this:
Now I look at this, and while I’m somewhat excited, I also find myself a bit torn. I’m very much under the impression that no matter how impressive 3D gets, it’ll never be able to capture the personality of 2d, and while this seems to capture the brawling, Foot Soldier flinging, “Cowabunga!” filled awesome of the original (arcade!) version, something seems a bit flat. May just be me though. Perhaps it’s the absence of that rumbling, screen shaking effect that made every slam so tangible and meaty in the home version?
I’ll likely be all over this come June 22nd, so I’ll reserve any further thoughts until then. Comparison vid below..
What do you think? Can’t wait, or not having it?
It was actually delayed two weeks after July 22nd. Sucks too cause I really want it, but then again if it came out on the 22nd, I wouldn’t have been able to play it. Still though, I’m all over this the day it comes out.
If they don’t say Prehistoric TUrtlesaurus then I will feel like this has been a waste of a game.
I must buy this game. TMNT Turtles in Time is my #2 fav video game of all time. I’m soooo gonna be all over the remake.
-=Fortewally gets +20 kudos with me. I’ve been saying that exact same thing ever since I got wind of this game coming out. I know for damn sure it’s not gonna disappoint. Its just painfull for me to count the days!!! YES im quitting Halo when this comes out. Sorry Phire!=-
