At Nintendo's Indie World showcase in April, publisher and developer Super Evil Megacorp announced it would be releasing the roguelike action title Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate on the Switch in July. As we get closer to next month, it's now been confirmed this former Apple Arcade exclusive will be launching on 17th July 2024.
As part of this announcement, a brand-new trailer has been shared on the official Nintendo YouTube channel. Pre-orders are also live on the eShop, with the game priced at $29.99 / £26.99 (or your regional equivalent). In case you missed our first story, Splintered Fate allows you take control of the four turtles, take down bosses, explore iconic locations, unlock temporary upgrades and permanent ones, and enjoy 4-player co-op where "no two runs are the same".

"Team up with Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo for an exciting new roguelike adventure in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Splintered Fate. Coming 7/17 to #NintendoSwitch!"

Will be getting this, but that price just seems steep…I hope it is good. My kids and I play the other Tmnt games and this would be another to add to our rotation.
At that price, I would pick it up if it was available physically. Digitally, I’m not spending more than $9.99 on this title.
@DogDetective Agreed. This actually looks like something the nephews and I could enjoy, but that price is about $15 too high for me to bite… I’d personally rather get Nintendo World Championships over this.
@cartunecartune @Donutman fairly recently I got a Backbone controller for my iPhone that came with an Apple Arcade free trial. This game was by far the best game on the service that I played. It’s really a lot of fun. The price does seem pretty steep for it. Though I hadn’t completed a run yet I feel like I may have gotten close unless there is actually more to it than I expected, but if not then $29.99 is kind of high for this. That said I might not be able to resist getting it on my Switch when it releases. I’m also kind of hoping that this price indicates that there may be some new content added to the console version
I’ve played this as part of Apple Arcade and it’s ok but I definitely wouldn’t pay that price for it. It’s fun for a mobile game, but I’m not sure the experience is going to be worth console game prices for most people.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Hades, yep I'm in. 30 bucks seems like an decent price for this.
Nice, fingers crossed it will be good also on Switch and if that's the case (a review here on Nintendo Life would be helpful if possible) I'll eventually get it for sure - considering its price and it unlikely getting a physical release at least here in Italy I'll most likely get it discounted just like I usually do for digital-only games!
They should add couch co-op to this
Wait, does it not actually have local co-op? I'd assumed it did.
As someone who got into the roguelite genre with little Noah and absolutely loved it I would definitely like to get this.
@anoyonmus @silver-crescent wait it doesn’t have couch co-op? Aw man I wanted to play this with my dad. 😔
@silver-crescent @Greatluigi No it does not have couch co-op. Only online co-op.
Played a little of this during my Apple Arcade trial, it’s good, but with no local co-op, definitely not $30 good, especially when there are so many rougelikes for cheaper on Switch.
I’ll have to wait for a 75% off sale before I’d get this digitally. I’d probably pass even on a physical release, since it lacks local co-op.
Omitting that feature just seems anti-turtle.
Part of me wants to scream DAY ONE YEAH! But with the silent confirmation of it coming to other platforms soon I feel like I should hold off. If it gets good reviews on switch though I might bite early...
Played it on Apple Arcade and was really enjoying it. I’d buy it on Switch in a heartbeat, especially to play with my son, but no local co-op means I’ll be waiting for a nice deep discount. Bummer.
Tmnt!!! Cowabunga!!!
Runs??? I’ll pass on those, thanks.
Edit: Definitely getting this at some point, though.
For that price, it better be epic and have great replayability. I'm currently playing Vampire Survivors which cost like $3 (not counting the DLC) and it has so much content for such a small price. I'll be sticking with that until the reviews for the TMNT game are in.
Roguelikes are too repetitive for me and they seem like lazy development.
Not at that price given it's mobile roots. I assume there won't be IAP. Regardless, the gameplay looks a little also-ran. That's not a bad thing, but it better play great, especially single player for that price.
If this is Hades but with TMNT then i will get it. I dont like roguelike style games but Hades i did.
On the sales wishlist it goes.
Dudes, help me out here. I was bummed when I learned, here and elsewhere, that the consensus seems to be that this game has no local co-op. But the e-shop claims it's four-player on a single system (https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-splintered-fate-switch/), which to me signals couch co-op. So confused!
