As part of yesterday’sNintendo Indie World live stream, publisher Dotemu confirmed that it would be bringing its cool-looking brawlerTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revengeto the Switch platform. The announcement was accompanied by a new trailer giving us a quick look at our half-shell heroes in action.
The nostalgia-fueled beat-’em-up will see the TMNT team go up against classic enemies from the hit comic-book and TV series, including Bebop and Rocksteady, Baxter Stockman, the Triceratons. All of this will lead to a one-way trip to Dimension X, and a confrontation with the turtles’ arch-nemesis, Shredder. The new trailer did not, unfortunately, confirm any of the whispers thatApril O’Neil and Master Splinterwill be making their presence felt as playable characters – but developer Tribute Games notes that there is “more to come”.
With an aesthetic that turtley captures Konami’s classic arcadesTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesand its sequel,Turtles in Time, frantic four-player action, the promise of deep combat mechanics, and characterful animation,Shredder’s Revengeis already shaping up to be a great time forTMNTfans. I was alittleswitched off by the “hit” sound effects in this trailer, which seem bland, but thisismerely alpha footage. I’m very much looking forward to jumping on this with buddies when it finally comes smashing out of the sewers. PIZ-ZA POWER!
