We first heard about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge last month, but today's Nintendo Indie World Showcase has confirmed that the game is indeed coming to Switch. Cowabunga!
Developed by Scott Pilgrim vs. The World studio Tribute Games and distributed by Streets of Rage 4 publisher Dotemu, Shredder's Revenge is a classics-inspired brawler with some seriously strong retro vibes. The game will have you taking on the role of the titular turtles as you pull off rad special moves and gnarly combos, as seen in the brand new trailer up above.
Inspired by the Turtles’ iconic 1987 design,Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge brings New York City’s most righteous ninjas to life with gorgeous pixel art that’d look right at home in your favorite retro arcade. From showdowns with infamous rivals like Bebop and Rocksteady to returns to signature locales like Dimension X, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is a bodacious celebration of classic TMNT beat-em-ups with its own modern touches.
We still don't have a final release date for this one, but we do know it's headed to Switch later this year.
Let us know if you're liking the look of this fresh gameplay footage in the comments below.

Yes. Charge me $60 for it even, see if I care.
Instabuy from me.. i grew up playing this before school time😁😁
Cowabunga, dude!
I'm honestly a little tired of the 80's Turtles' aesthetic after it's been called back to so many times as of late but this looks like a solid beat em up
I still want a game or TV series that takes place in the Mirage or IDW continuity
Can't wait for this, and its coming this year, COWABANGA!
I love the look of it! I just hope there's more depth than a standard beat em up. Give me a combo system or something to keep it more interesting than playing "mash the button."
Games like Comix Zone and Viewtiful Joe prove it's possible to make an interesting beat em up.
Online multiplayer please 🙏 My buds are too far away for local co-op
I love the artstyle! It looks more like a gba game than anything and not many games have tackled that style.
I wonder what it’s rouge lite elements are because that seems to be a must at this point. For the record I know it doesn’t have any.
looks glorious. Sold already
Later this year?? Comon!! Shouldn’t take too long to finish, don’t tease us like that!
Yes, yes day one purchase. Will always be a sucker for new brawlers based on classic franchises.
I hope there is a physical release coming!!!
Massive turtles fan - hoping for a physical release!
I can’t wait for this game game to come out. I need a real release date now lol.
@Luigisghost669 Unless the game contains a mini-game which consists of a make-up tutorial, there's literally ZERO chance of there being any "rouge" lite elements in it...
Sold! I don’t even need to hesitate.
even here in Italy the turtles were very famous, I remember that in the arcade in the 80s I had emptied my dad's pockets by dint of playing at the konami cabinet
Streets of rage, battletoads, turtles, I want it all!!!!! Gimme more
Turtles II The Arcade game was in my top 5 for NES and Turtles in Time in my top 5 for SNES. Can't wait to play this and thrilled to see it confirmed for Switch. Perfect platform for these types of games and it wouldn't be right to play an old-school style TMNT brawler on a non-Nintendo system.
Literally cannot wait to play this game. Wish I could preorder this future classic now!
Cowabunga! 90's kid here, this made my day.😀
@TheFrenchiestFry Yeah, I'd love a good game with the ones from 2003 (I think?). The Shredder on that series is one of the coolest things ever.
Looks rad and real retro. I hope the modern touches are deep like SOR4 level deep....
Day 1. Me and my kids will have a blast with this!
Can't wait for this, hope the soundtrack comes close to Turtles in Time too.
@everynowandben I believe online co-op has been confirmed already.
Probably go so far as to preorder this. Really excited.
Was waiting on this announcement. Will get it now.
Also, Bossanova. (Donnie was right. It sounds cooler than cowabunga. )
Day 1, just add online play.
Yes, day 1 absolutely!
I can't be more psyched about this game. I feel like I've been waiting for it for 20 years and It's finally happening!
This is giving me a Turtles in time vibe, this should be awesome.
From the trailer that had Mike Patton singing the theme to the Turtles in Time look, this is hitting all the right notes for me. Can't wait!
@TheFullAndy,
Loved Turtles in time, this should be amazing too, I would love to see the cool snes mode 7 bits, where you threw the bad guys towards the screen.
Nice one
Hope it go's on cartridge
Yep, buying this day one. I still didn’t buy Streets of Rage yet but now it’s getting put off even longer as I bump this up to the top of the list.
My game of the presentation right here. Day one buy, don't care the price.
@TheFrenchiestFry thats fair. They do love to call back to the 80s cartoon a little too much. I prefer that over all the reboots though. I cant keep track of TMNT.
I still have Turtles in Time for my SNES. From the looks of this I’ll just stick to the old school version.
Yes Donatello yes! Xx
Game of the year!
And there is my most wanted game of 2011! 😍
TMNT 2 and 3 for NES were some of my favorite games as a kid (and still are). 4 for SNES was awesome, too. Can't wait for this game, now to find some friends to play it with...
@Gamer83
ever played Manhattan Project (TMNT 3 for NES)? I think it's even better than 2.
@Ryu_Niiyama
Chevy Nova?
The life bar in the video has changed since the last trailer. I like this new look better.
I can smell the bottle returns section of the grocery store I played Turtles in Time in as a kid. Please be good.
@invictus4000 Where did you see that? Their press kit does not mention online multiplayer https://www.dotemu.com/PressKit/sheet.php?p=Games/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesShreddersRevenge
Edit: So far I see PC Gamer and Escapist Magazine reporting online co-op, but I wonder where they are getting that information, especially since most sites are not specifically reporting online co-op. Also, YouTube, the Nintendo eShop page, and the Steam page all do not mention online co-op.
@roy130390 TMNT 2003 was MY childhood
The 4Kids Turtles were like a perfect blend of 80's and Prime Turtles
I was waiting for this... I will buy this, no matter what. And it is even the 80s turtles and not the ugly 2012 or 2020 ones. Amazing!!!
Been waiting 29 years for this. Can't wait.
This is going to the top of my wishlist.
TMNT was my first video game! Played the heck out of it and Bucky O'Hare on the the Famicom! Very excited for this!!
Game of the Year. I'm calling it
Physical release please.
Only game that interests me, I grew up these games on the NES and SNES.
Highlight of the show!
GREAT, I'm looking forward to this one!
@Gamer83 Ahem. Sega Genesis owners who loves TMNT: Hyperstone Heist represent! Psh, non-Nintendo systems he says...
Lovely. Let me preorder!!
Excellent been waiting on this. Loved streets of rage 4
I would double dip on this as I am sure the digital version will release months before a Limited Run physical package. I just won't be able to wait.
@Handsomistic15
I was a Genesis guy in that and also love Hyperstone Heist, my point still stands.
Insta-buy. Great news. Wow. Good choice with the visuals too
@screechums
Unfortunately never played that one. Heard good things, though.
Glad it's coming to Switch, arcade TMNT are the best so definitely can't wait for this.
Just hope they can capture that Magic early 90’s Konami feel.
My only gripe is that it looks a little too pixelated. Still a day one purchase regardless.
Oh yes. Take my money, please. I gave you too much... please keep the change.
I grew up at the perfect time, just in time for the Turtles craze in the late 80s and early 90s. I'm definitely hyped for this game, and I'll be buying once the game is released.
@screechums and a high five to you, friend. It’s better than hello mustard, right? (even though he actually said good morning, wasabi but still it was funny).
Decent! Wasn't too impressed by Turtles in Time remake.
You want me to throw money at you or something?
Day one.
I can’t count how many coins I spend in the arcade with my friends playing the original game and turtles in time, some of the best moments with my friends. I wonder why they haven’t released previous games for consoles, it would be a hit.
This is a day one for me!
Really stoked, looks amazing. The NES games along with the 80s cartoons were huge with me and my friends.
My shell is ready 😎
My daughters are literally watching Nickelodeon’s newer TMNT series on Hulu as I type this. This will be the first beat ‘em up we play together!
(Even if they gag when they see the 80s era April 😅)
I spent so many quarters at movie theaters playing this arcade game. Such a fun beat em up. Can these developers make the Simpsons next? 🍩
@BloodNinja so ninja doesn't approve?! Madness!
I need this in my life.
@NintendoByNature I normally would, but I need to see more than trailer footage, been burned way too many times to just buy games blind, these days.
Yes! This makes me so happy. I figured it was coming to Switch, but it’s nice to get the confirmation. This is a day one buy for me.
Nothing says Indie game like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.... billion dollar franchise
@BloodNinja yep me too. I just have a soft spot for the turtles and I trust the Team behind the game. So im sold, unless we find out it's a terrible game down the road, which I doubt.
@NintendoByNature I get you! Sadly I’m not impressed by the team’s work, but I do have high hopes because it looks like a proper turtles game.
Shut up and take my money!
Streets of rage 4 became my favorite in the series this looks to have that same potential. Cannot wait to get my hands on this one, looks like a hit!
@John_Deacon I want it all and I want it now!
@johnvboy While the SNES game had some Mode 7 in it, Neon Night Riders being the main use of it, the Foot Soldiers tossed at the screen was not Mode 7. Still, it was a cool effect. The good news is the previous trailer for this new game already showed an enemy getting tossed at the screen. I would have been surprised if they didn't include it since it seems so popular among fans of the SNES game.
It looks pretty nice. I like the graphics so far, though they might be a bit too cartoony for some. There are a couple of things I'd like to see, and you never know if the developers might see this as some come into the comments here. First, I'd like to see some kind of option to disable or reduce the screen shaking effect. A lot of people find that quite uncomfortable and dizzying. It could be the difference between some people buying the game. I always check for an option to disable in games that interest me. The other thing I'd like to see is a bit more personal and cosmetic. I'd love to see this have the option for scanlines. I didn't understand fake scanlines at first, but once I saw the benefit of them, I couldn't unsee it.
I’ll be buying the cartridge day 1.
Ok, how can the 20min indie being more interesting from 1 hour of AAA games??? At least 3 games for me.
This looks so good I'd buy it twice!
Day 1 buy for me
@path4smash A new Bucky O'Hare game and series would be amazing. Loved the NES game so much and its music.
@sdelfin,
Awesome, I must confess I only watched a tiny bit of the trailer, that was more than enough to sell me on the game, I never like to see too much of these things before release, but great news
the throwing enemies to the screen is back.
Dot Emu have a pretty solid record of releasing their games physically, not necessarily as limited run affairs either (as far as EU/UK goes anyway). I'd say the hype for this matches SoR4, so 🤞🤞🤞
I'm going to have to suck it up, wait patiently after digital and reeeeealy hope that I don't have to wait too long for that physical announcement 🙏
All I care about is the fact that Bebop and Rocksteady are in it. I miss those buffons.
Hello my childhood, how I've missed you. Looks good.
@BloodNinja Makes sense to me.
Now this is the real Ninja turtles! None of that incredible hulk on steroids looking ugly ass michael bay produced crap!
Scuse me i have something in my eye. (Wipes away manly tears)
Keen for this one! Turtles are still rad.
