Another Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Beat 'Em Up Is Coming To Switch This April

I played this a couple of weeks ago at Arcains in Liverpool.

Good game, I'd probably wait for a sale rather than paying full price for it but still .... an enjoyable game

I'll give this a shot, doesn't look bad

GameMill? Bad news. Cradle Games? Not-so-great news. Raw Thrills? Cruis'n Blast is great, so I hope they're the lead developer here.

Wow I did not know there was a 2017 TMNT arcade game. Would definitely check it out but it does felt a bit less dramatic than the Konami TMNT games. Now if only Raw Thrills could released their Batmobile arcade game, that would be fantastic.

This is giving me “Turtles in Time: Reshelled” vibes.

It's pretty cool that this game is coming home, but man it feels weird considering the series moved away from the 2012 series a long while ago. Raw Thrills is always neat considering they're the last major American arcade game producer that makes actual video games

Why isn’t it, “Raw Thrillz”?

@Magician Raw Thrills is most definitely the main dev. They made the original arcade version so they definitely are working on this too

There is TMNT Arcade at my local TimeZone Surabaya.

I think I played this in the arcade - at Funspot in Lake Winnepesaukee, NH. I remember the Raw Thrills label on the machine, and my first impression was it's a decent beat 'em up - uncomplicated, like the original Konami arcade games, and probably a real quarter muncher. The call-outs from the Nickelodeon series' voice actors were memorable. And the cabinet was ENORMOUS! It felt like the biggest arcade video cab I had ever seen, in the largest arcade in the world, nonetheless.

To think I potentially may be buying an arcade-to-home conversion in 2024! I'm feeling nostalgic somehow. Thank you Raw Thrills!

Ah yes, who can forget this arcade classic...

@Teksetter I actually played this at FunSpot myself too. Such a token eater the game is lol.

Looks like a decently fun beat-em-up. Nothing too original, but it's an arcade game, so it doesn't need to be.

Probably not worth full price, but could be a fun sale purchase for a relaxing weekend.

Not a fan of the new art style but i guess i'm old and like the original styles from the arcade game and turtles in time. I will give it a try though.

Since people seem to be rather fondly remembering the arcade version, this should be pretty fun, unless Game Mill decides to not give them the time to port the game properly and implement the new features fully. Considering their practices as a publisher led to a couple of the worst games of last year, I’m hopeful but concerned.

As an 80s kid i can safely say the new character models look awful. Whats with the blocky limbs and pea size heads? . Loved Shredders revenge tho.

Anything now after Shredders Revenge will feel like a backstep. That game was phenomenal. ❤🐢

Prefer this art style over all the later incarnations. Would prefer if they go back to the source material or first cartoon series, though.

This is my favorite TMNT cartoon. So I'll check this out, also I may give it a rewatch.

@DogDetective You gotta remember this was made ground-up to look and play like this, not a scuffed port where the game and graphics were made separately 'n mashed together. I've heard it's no Shredder's Revenge or Turtles in Time, but it's still a good Beat 'Em up in it's own right.

@Serpenterror fast and furious ports sir

Game seems decent but not worth buying unless at a discount.

Also, watch the 2012 show, it’s so good.

@Kidfunkadelic83 @hendie001 "New art style"
It's the 2012 show.

Anyways, this game looks decent, glad Raw Thrills is involved, and watch the 2012 TMNT show, it's great.

Actually all of the animated Turtles shows are great, but 2012 is my personal favorite.

@Magician
Hate to break it to ya, but 80% of raw thrills arcades are... dogspit. Hopefully you'll like this one though!

If this game is originally from 2017, why do the graphics and animations in the trailer look like they're from 2002?

Raw Thrills did a great job with Cruisin'. I'll keep an eye on this, it looks decent enough. Really hope they bring their Hydro Thunder game (can't remember the name, I wanna say H2O) to Switch.

@Serpenterror I'd prefer if they ported H2 Overdrive to consoles.

And released that Online mode for Cruis'n Blast.

I liked the 2012 series quite a bit and this doesn't look too bad but...for thirty dollars when you can get Shredder's Revenge for five less or bundled with the DLC for the same price? Yikes, definitely would be waiting on a sale for this one.

Seth Green is NOT part of the TMNT'12 Original Voice Cast!

I will get on sale. I have a number of beatemups at this point.

Looking at this game, I pondered on who could voice Kraang Sub-Prime since the death of his VA Gilbert Gottfried. But still, seeing the 87 era Krang with Pat Fraley reprising his role is a nice add on.

@HotGoomba im an 80s kid so 2012 is new to me.

This should've been inluded as a DLC in the Cowabunga collection. Maybe 10 bucks.

Nick show was great, so I'll be picking this up!

Good for Raw Thrills. Kinda a double Edge sword to be "the good part" of Game Mill though. Hopefully they can get a better deal going with a publisher who's reputation isn't being a dumpster fire. Like litterally any part of Embracer Group.

Yes, I recognize that the popular consensus is EG is a burning heap right now. That is the joke.

@Polvasti We didn't have anything that looked like that in 2002. It's more like an early 2010s game.

Like most people seem to be voicing, I'll be waiting for a sale. The Beat 'Em Up genre's finally revitalized in recent years, so between ports, re-releases, & actual new games, I've already got plenty on backlog.

@majinx07
I enjoyed this TMNT game, but at the time my daughters were tired and ready to leave Funspot so I only put a few tokens into it.

But seeing your avatar and username around here and knowing you've been to Funspot, now I wonder if you could be an old real-life acquaintance of mine. I'll just ask one question:

Does the acronym UCJAS mean anything to you?

If so, I will try to contact you through a mutual friend.
If not, I'm just confusing you with somebody else and I'll stop my doddering.

I know it’s very maligned but I reeeeeally would love a reissue of Turtles in Time Re-Shelled. I believe it got yanked from all the online stores back in the day though so I doubt it’ll ever return.

GameMill seems like a term one would use to insult a game developer.

I hate these old-style beat-em-ups so much and they just keep bloody making them as if the turtles can't be in any other genre. What would I give for a good TMNT metroidvania.

I’ll tell ya man people’s memories are getting shorter and shorter these days. “New art style.” It’s from the 2012 Nick show which is legendary.

I'm guessing Shredder's Revenge is better. They DID make the first good Cruis'n game though...
Raw Thrills is interesting. They occupy this weird space where their games look equally arcadey and mobile.
Oh no mobile games are the new arcades, aren't they???
...I'm going to go throw myself down the stairs at the retirement home now, peace.

Never was a fan of this TMNT series, same as my kids (who refer to it bluntly as "ugly Ninja Turtles"). And after Shredder's Revenge, any other TMNT beat-'em-up not in the same style is dead to me. I wouldn't enjoy it and my kids (who would be a major reason why I'd get it) won't even touch it.

Here's hoping a sequel or further expansion to Shredder's Revenge (or even a non-TMNT series using the same style) would be created.

@Magician didn't notice game mill til you mentioned it. Now I'm on high alert. I steer clear of all their stuff.

@OFFICIALMichi I'm not sure between fees and reputation if it'd be worth it for the people involved sadly. That and since it was very much a product of it's time when these games were not widely available.

Even thou im a kid from The 80's i like the 2012 cartoon the best so at the right price, ill be getting this for sure

@DogDetective my toe! my toe!

@Serpenterror That looks super fun.

@rushiosan Most of the cutscenes in the trailer make it look like a look like 20 year old game because of the low-polygon models and crude animation. For example, just look at Krang at 0:42 in the trailer, no way does that look like scene from a game published in 2017.

Well, as a fan of the classic products and look I gotta say: if the gameplay is good, keep 'em coming.

I liked the 2012 show and Cruis'n. I'll probably wait for a sale as i have no local co-op for Turtles games.

they actually do something TMNT
that isn't those idiots from the 80s?
f*ng finally!

I didn't know this arcade game existed. Definitely interested. I prefer the '80s turtles look/universe (comics or cartoon) or the 2003 turtles. But I can live with this 2012 turtle universe if the game plays well and is fun.

My 5 year old son loves playing this at our local Chuck E. Cheese. I would get it on sale just to be able to play at home with him!
