In a better timeline we'd be playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge right now, but we'll just have to take the cards we're dealt. Still due 'this year', publisher Dotemu has revealed another trailer and iconic character for the upcoming beat 'em up.
Of course it's Master Splinter, who is a surprisingly nifty fighter for an elderly rat. As you can see in the trailer he's got some power moves and can even throw his students around in multiplayer.
Master Splinter’s calm, thoughtful nature makes him more collected than most of his green pupils, but his mastery of ninja arts ensures that he’s a formidable powerhouse. He dishes out particularly powerful attacks with his trusty staff and wide-reaching special ninja moves, bashing through groups of enemies as efficiently as the Turtles chowing down on a pizza.
We're very much looking forward to getting hold of this game; before that though we're patiently awaiting the Casey Jones reveal - go on Dotemu, you know it makes sense...

I remember Samus Hunter teasing this game yesterday and I wondered why it didn’t make an appearance in the direct, but guess it was just delayed. Just looking forward to a release date now.
SICK!
I don't usually like beat 'em ups but this looking nice.
I'm really looking forward to this. But do we know if this will release on Switch?
Do we have a release date yet? I can’t find anything.
Looking good and I'm ready for the release whenever they are!
You can see they left a spot to insert Casey Jones on the title art screen at the video's end.
Is that bloody Ryu at 0:15? Makes sense I suppose, he is a kung-fu master after all, I'd assume he'd be well-versed in the way of the warrior.
I'd love to see Casey Jones make the cut too.
@Fizza I know you are making a joke, but I have to. Ryu is a master of Ansatsuken or in his first appearance, kenka karate. Which is loosely based on shotokan karate. No Kung Fu influence on his character. Sorry, I had to.
@Ryu_Niiyama I think I just got owned.
On a sidenote: I wonder when and how the tmt cartoon will be back. At the end of the last season of the last series they said there would be a animated movie. And there is supposed to be another life-action movie in the pipeline. I just wonder when the series will return on tv and how it will look. The last series with the short episodes is the weakest in my opinion, but was still a laugh.
@Fizza please don’t take it maliciously. I’m just really literal so I twitched when I saw your comment. I did say I was sorry!
Splinter pulling a Hurricane Kick, awesome.
@Ryu_Niiyama It's grand, don't worry about it. Though I will say that I Ken-'t believe you'd do this. You'll Ryu-e the day you crossed me!
I NEED this game now! I really would love a release date for the game plz! I’m looking forward to what else this game will have in it.
We need a release date soon DOTEMU. My money is ready. Also when are we getting Casey Jones and Tatsu as playable character?
Confirm that it will have online play. A game like this needs it.
The greatest comic book character ever created………’death comes to us all Oroko Saki, but for you it comes without honour’
Casey Jones when though?
I'm really stoked about this one.
At this point, all I care about is a release date. I don’t want to say it’s killing me… but it is.
Irma DLC when??
I knew Splinter was coming. After the April reveal, you could see they dropped hints for April and Splinter in the reveal trailer. That doesn't mean there may not be others like Casey Jones.
I'm sensitive to screen shake. It's not too bad here, though I think it's a bit much in spots like each impact of Splinter's spinning kick. I can see that getting really annoying in multiplayer. Old beat-em-ups didn't need that to convey impact. I do hope they include an option to turn it off as some other games do. That would definitely be something I'd appreciate. Otherwise, I think this looks fantastic.
This looks awesome! Wish we got a upgrade to xmen, simpsons, captain commando, warriors of fate, etc., similar to how streets of rage 4, retromania or this game got the nice coat of paint, to it.
This is going to be the greatest game of all time. I NEED it physical!!!!
Casey Jones would be a good add too. I'd also like to see Shredder unlockable after you beat the game. That'd be fun.
Casey Jones, Mondo Gecko, Leatherhead, Slash- so many could be added. Ninjara is still a top wanted pipe dream to ever be a part of anything other than the Archie comic series.
He's a radical rat 🐀
This looks fantastic! I'm patient. I hope they release a physical as well.
@Sinton yes it is confirmed for switch
I thought this was a Switch exclusive but apparently it's also coming to Playstation...perhaps that's why it wasn't in the Direct yesterday
So dope! I'm amped for a new TMNT Game. Hoping the delays means they're adding more content... i.e. variety in level design, some vehicular/racing stages (Turtle Van w/ Weapons, Surfing, Gliding), maybe some vertical/platforming to mix things up etc.
Also wishing for lots of cosmetics, costumes to unlock like skins, palette swaps and accessories along with a steady diet of new unique characters to the lineup (Venus, Slash, Spike, Casey Jones, Dimension X Teens, Oroku Saki, Hamato Yoshi etc.) + additional bosses, sub-bosses and transformations, maybe an achievement system too.
Hopefully this does well and inspires a resurgence & renaissance of cool, fun, new licensed arcade brawlers updated and coming to Switch with modern features (X-Men, Simpsons, Bucky O'Hare, Battletoads)... basically call Konami and others lol!
@Bizzyb There were other games in the direct that are coming to PlayStation, like the Chrono Cross remaster and Klonoa
My life needs this game, come ON!
It’s based off of the 80’s cartoon series, so I’m really hoping the theme song is integrated in there.
Funniest part of the gameplay video I watched yesterday is that the trains drive right through the end of the tracks:

Keep in mind that Casey Jones only had a minor recurring role in the '87 TMNT cartoon, so he very well could fail to make the cut.
@Magrane they shelled out (pun intended) for Mike Patton to sing it in the first trailer, so I think they'll be using it for the game 🤞
Think there's a really good chance of this being physical given that it's Dotemu and it should like hot pizza pies
I'm hoping the full roster is available at launch/on the cart and I don't have to buy the 'Anniversary Edition' at a later date (looking at you, SoR4)
@Teksetter I was thinking the exact same thing.
