Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Remake Surfaces

Can someone explain to me how this game is 2.5 D but the original Turtles in Time was 2d?

Do you just mean that the sprites are 3D models?

Because Turtles in Time was clearly not just a 2d game. You could move towards and away from the screen, as opposed to, say Super Mario World, where you could not...?

Maybe I'm using the wrong terms.

Turtles in Time used to be one of my favorite SNES games

Most likely also coming to wiiware

Also looks like that this game is based on the arcade version of the game since a level that did not get ported over to the snes was playable. Perhaps they are making an "ultimate" version with all the content from both the Arcade and the SNES version mashed together, we'll see.

Weird... I was just making a point to my girlfriend 2 days ago about how great this game was when I was younger, 'cause even though it was only 30 minutes long, I played it over, and over, and over again without ever really getting bored.

Is this game gonna be avalible for PSN?

I jizzed in my pants when I first heard.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!

Uhh... I totally don't remember either Beebop or Rocksteady in the SNES version. I do, however, clearly remember Tohka and Rahzar. I think they appeared in the Technodrome level.

I've yet to play a game in 2.5d that was actually good, they are never better then the 2d versions.

hello nurse!!!

As much as I am psyched for this, I do hope they include the original 2D version in this game as an unlockable or something. I have a real affinity for those original sprite animations.

Woohoo, hero in a shell.

The only weird part of the 2.5D retranslation I can see is seeing some of those enemies in 3D models. Even those foot soldiers, its kind of a trip to see them all...rounded and not cartooned out.

Oh, the memories of going to the park and watching the grown men perform in turtle costumes, my father roaring manly noises over the waste of time, my mother smiling on awkwardly looking in the wrong direction, and my brother and I on the fringe of orgasming over how awesome the event was. Squeal.

It looks alright to me. I bet it looks much better in motion, that's most probably why they made the transition, to animate the characters better, bring them to life a little.

*ahem*  Tokka and Rahzar were two mutations of a snapping turtle and wolf that were created by Shredder in the TMNT II: Secret of the Ooze movie.  = D

YES!

Tokka and  Rahzar are from the 2nd Movie.  TMNT: The Secret of the Ooze.  I don't know them from the game only the movie.

I'm looking at the beautiful girl. >_>

Color me feeling a little bit skeptical about this. Bringing a 2D game in to the 3D world can raise all sorts of new problems, potentially. Essentially, they're making a brand-new new game and trying to recreate a reasonable facsimile of Turtles in Time assets. That leaves all sorts of room for messing up how the game plays, and could potentially change the look and feel of the entire game.

That makes me a little cautious. I'd be more excited if this was a "Turtles in Time HD Remix" with high-res sprites, instead.

I have very fond memories of the SNES version of this game, which is different from both the arcade version.  Now how long until we have a facelift for the Manhattan Project?

Sweet!  Also, the girl doing the April stand in is a cutie!  <3

Unless it's an HD remake I will have no part in it.

I still play my SNES version of Turtles and Time and it suits me just fine.

I take that back i dont love this, I think it sucks they are making ti 2.5D!

Yeah, I just saw one of the screenshots from the game where I found out it's 2.5D. I didn't know they were going to remake it that much. I thought it would be like the first TMNT game on XBLA where it's basically just a pretty port. This is kinda interesting though. So yes, there's no reason why they couldn't just keep the same stuff as the beloved SNES version, unless they for some reason wanted to stay more true to the arcade version? Bah, who knows.

"This is the best news in quite a while. And to those who don't know: The reason why the characters were taken out was because this is a remake of the arcade version, which is slightly different from the SNES version. I assume they chose to remake the arcade version because it was 4 player, whereas the SNES was only 2 player."

I love that! i cant wait :)

"Platforms? I know they just showed it for the 360, but what about others? Did you ask them? Did they announce it? Other websites seem to suggest both PS3 and WIi versions, others just 360, which of all was actually there to get the info first hand?"

Fuck the game and the screen, gimme the girl! 

Do want. Sewer Surfin' has the best music ever.

Let's kick shell!

This is going to kick so much ass.

THEY'RE BABIIEESS!!!!!!!!

TMNT: Turtle in Time HD Remix.... now we are talking. Arcade night on the couch witht he family!!! F*CK YEAH

That looks hot. And the lady is alright too, I guess.

Must be getting too old to appreciate this, cause i dont really care about this. I even had a ton of the toys and VHS movies back in the day.

Sounds like a remake of the arcade version...which I guess is cool, but it'd be WAY cooler if it was the SNES version, but with 4-players.

Well, it can't be any worse than the last attempt at a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game.

ASSPLODE!

That chick looks like April Summers.  Kinda.  With the yellow.

I used to play TMNT arcade in Major Magic like crazy when I was a kid.  Good shit.

Awesome. Loved on the snes. Will more than likely be getting my hard earned coins on the 360.

Hot.

Turtles in Time is one of the greatest Beat Em' Ups ever. I can't believe they're actually remaking it that's just so unexpected. I can't wait though the screens for it are awesome.

I guess the success of the other TMNT arcade game on XBLA prompted this.

"This sounds like the SNES version. Tokka and Rahzar were bosses in the technodrome level, while Bebop and Rocksteady where bosses in the pirate ship level for the SNES version.  Well it seems that this game isn't a direct port from the arcade version because I don't recall Tokka and Rahzar even in being in that version. But hey I may be mistaken, it has been a long time since I played either version."

TMNT had two boss sequences one with Beebop/Rockteady the other with Toka/Razor (at least that's how I remember it)
