Tmnt arcade game for wii

For the first time ever, two dudes or dudettes can join forces and double-team Shredder, kicking shell while covering each others tails. But to survive you've gotta fight through 8 action-packed arcade levels, including Vinnie's Valet "Stalking" Lot and the Soho Sewer System, plus two new never-before-seen shell-squashing stages!

Each of these deathtraps is reinforced by lethal electro zappers, laser beams, freezer burners or enemies such as Scorpion Robots, Stone Warriors and Baxter Stockman. Shredder has also hired the all-powerful Tora and Shogun, two alien bounty hunters who have never known defeat.

Even though Master Splinter has prepared the turtles well for battle, teaching them radical new attack moves, it doesn't mean this war to save April and turtlekind will be a piece of cake or even a slice of pizza. Perry Updated: 14 May am. Licensing sentimental appeal is no small task, especially when it comes to persnickety, rose-colored glass-wearing gamers.

But Ubisoft , which paid Konami for the rights to publish the coin-op version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the upcoming movie-based game, has lit a little fire of joy in many gaming hearts this week.

Ubisoft's Xbox Live Arcade remake of the TMNT arcade version, not to be confused with the sequel Turtles in Time, is an unblemished port of the original that includes four-player simultaneous support -- and four-player Xbox Live support. It's the perfect package of old-school arcade gaming, popular licensed material, and online leverage.

Not to mention a smart way to create hype for the upcoming movie. Playing the game will revive great memories for many folks, but looking back at old games is not the same as playing old games, as XBLA has taught us.

Gaming is not only different now because of the way games have changed and grown, but game-playing difficulty has been eased up for today's game public. The core nature of today's games is different from the basic nature of arcade games. TMNT was designed to steal, erm, I mean "prompt" you to put just one more quarter into the coin-op slot.

As such, the value of your game was tied into beating that "Insert Quarter" sign that flashed at you after a cheap death. It was a challenge, and that challenge meant you had an incentive to learn all the skills possible to outsmart the quarter-munching mentality of the game. The fewer the quarters, the more time spent playing while other were waiting, the better you were. This is a great bargain, and it's really what all XBLA games should cost.

We thank Ubisoft for charging the right price for it. But, once you get into it, because quarters aren't an issue, TMNT's inherent design loses some of its tension, verve and immediacy. There is no burning desire to beat that "insert coin" sign.

The game gives you 20 lives to beat the five stages, which is way more than enough to finish the game. I beat it again in the afternoon by myself. I died a whole lot of times, but apparently not 20 times. Was it short? I felt that they completely got the game wrong in this regard.

Especially when it was touted as a celebration of the history of the franchise. This is a ton of fun to play, each of the characters does feel unique and that is something I like. Each character has their own special attacks and just like in Smash Bros, this is a game that is easy to pick up and play, but when you really dig deep, you find that there is a great deal of strategy here too. There is a decent amount of game modes on offer here.

You can play through an arcade mode with each of the characters to get their own ending. These are really well done in that they look like an old school comic book. You also have mission mode, survival mode, and a lot of fun stuff to do in multiplayer modes as well. While I feel that the core game may not have lived up to the 25th anniversary I thought it would be. Bash your way through gorgeous pixel art environments and slay tons of hellacious enemies with your favorite Turtle, each with his own skills and moves - making each run unique!

Choose a fighter, use radical combos to defeat your opponents and experience intense combats loaded with breathtaking action and outrageous ninja abilities.

Stay sharp as you face off against Shredder and his faithful Foot Clan alone, or grab your best buds and play with up to four players simultaneously!
