Rocksteady Games working on TMNT Game?


The rumor floating around the sewers is that Rocksteady Games next comic book game will be a TMNT game. This information has not been confirmed by Rocksteady, so take this news with a grain of Parmesan.

– Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Manhattan Crisis is the alleged name of the title.
– Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo are the four playable characters, each with their own varied move set and weapon of choice (sword, bo staff, sai, and nunchucku…respectively).
– Flashbacks are played as Master Splinter/Hamato Yoshi.
– Shurikens, smoke bombs, grappling hooks, and climbing foot spikes.
– Gameplay and story/stage progression similar to Batman: Arkham City.
– Classic characters such as Bebop and Rocksteady (warthog and rhinoceros), Dr. Baxter Stockman, Shredder (Oroku Saki), and Krang act as bosses and in the case of the humans-turned-mutants, you fight them in both forms throughout the story.
– The Turtle Van and Turtle Blimp will be present and with them and other gadgets, the Wii U build is expected to have touch screen controls for specific actions.
– Multiplayer is unknown.
– Graphics engine used is that of Arkham City.
– The game is expected to be more dark than slapstick, but the turtles themselves and their interactions with the Foot Clan, bosses, and story characters like April O’Neil and Casey Jones will still have comedy attached.
– Purportedly being in development for Wii U, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.
– Careful selection of voice actors to bring the universe to life as well as Rocksteady did with their two Batman games.
– Manhattan Crisis shares a similar name to the 1991/1992 NES title, “The Manhattan Project”, but is very much its own title.

San Diego Comic-Con “Mutation in Progress” Event

Hey all,

 

Got an update for you about the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con!

On Friday, July 22, there will be a special fan preview event for a limited number of invited guests.  TMNT fans will get a sneak peek of the “mutation in progress” of the new animated TV series, including a look at the new comics from IDW and toys from Playmates. There will be three one-hour previews, at 4, 5 and 6 PM at an off-site location close to the convention center.

In addition, fans can come by the Nickelodeon booth at ComicCon to learn more about how they might get a ticket.  They can also be on the lookout at the convention for ticket giveaways via a ninja street team and a series of Four Square check-ins.  A select number of tickets are also being given out in advance of ComicCon via a series of giveaways by @TMNTMaster on Twitter this week.

Capacity for the event is extremely limited and all guests must receive a confirmed ticket from Nickelodeon events in advance of the preview.

 

This is gonna be a lot of fun! It’s basically a condensed version of the Preview that some fans were treated to back in March.

If you can get to SDCC, DO NOT Pass this up.
