Turtles Forever Update


TvShowsOnDVD.com has given us our first look at the cover art for the upcoming Tv movie and a few details about the release.

The recent telefilm, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Forever, comes to DVD on August 24th from Nickelodeon and distributor Paramount Home Entertainment. This TV movie served as the post-series finale for the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, where the modern Turtles crossed dimensions and met the Turtles from the original ’80s series! Poking gentle (and loving) fun at the differences in the styles of the shows, we also see how these incarnations of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles must fight together for survival against their ultimate enemy, with the ultimate plan for eliminating ALL of the Turtles. And we DO mean ALL of them!

Information that these studios have provided to retailers show that the DVD will be a single-disc release, running approximately 70 minutes long, and presented in full screen video. We know fans are curious about widescreen home videos for this production, and even high-def Blu-ray Disc releases. We can only say that the studios are ONLY announcing a full screen DVD here. The cost for this title is $16.99 SRP, but you can pre-order it from Amazon at a discount using the button link below. Audio format for this has not been revealed, nor extras (if any). It is, however, going to be closed captioned.

Mikey’s two cents: While I am happy that this is getting released, I’m not happy that they didn’t use the amazing poster art for the box art and that it is not in widescreen. Also this is the tv edit and not the 78 minute uncut version.

Turtles Forever Coming to DVD August 24th.

Is TMNT: Tournament Fighter Archie Heavy?

The TMNT:TF face-off of my dreams.

Sorry it’s been awhile, but I was thinking today, as a fan of the Archie Comics, and going through the rosters from all 3 TMNT:TF games, gosh the roster is Archie heavy.

Of course you have the Turtles and Shredder in all 3 versions. Casey is in the NES and Genesis versions. Karai is also in 2 versions. April shows up on the Genesis, but look at the other playable characters:

NES:
The only other playable character is Hot Head, a character from the Playmates toy line, but also based more on the Warrior Dragon from Archie.

SNES:
War is one from an arc in the Archie comics, that also involved the Mutanimals. Wonder where Death, Famine, and Pestilence are? That makes 2 Archie characters.
Aska was created just for the game…lets skip her.
Chrome Dome was a character from the series and the toy line. So heck the toy-line ties with Archie so far. 1 for the series.
Wingnut was in the Archie series, an episode of the show, and the toy-line. Maybe my original premise was off…3-3-2.
Armaggon was only in Archie! Oh how I wanted a figure…curse you Playmates!! 4-3-2
Rat King is playable only with Game Genie…I think. He was in the Mirage Books, the OT, the toy-line, and Archie. Wow, the first aside from the main cast to hit all 4 Turtle mediums of the time. 5-4-3-1.

Genesis:
Ray Fillet is an Archie and Toy character. 6-5-3-2 (NO, I don’t count Ray from that one episode…)
Sisyphus was also a game exclusive…
Triceraton was in Mirage, the show in one episode, and even a toy! 6-6-4-3
Krang is in all but Mirage…well at least in canon.

Ok…so maybe I was wrong…it’s not so Archie heavy. But then again the toy-line had 3 universes to pull from.

Any thoughts as to why there were so many Archie characters?
