Super Mutant Turtle Bros.

What happens when you mix supreme turtleyness with the smash bros formula? No it’s not a Bowser vs. Squirtle death match. We’re talking about a new TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) fighting game made by game arts. Well not exactly, apparently Ubisoft was really digging to bring the Teenage mutant ninja turtles series to life because they combined Game Arts with Team Ninja (of Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive fame). Such a combination of talent making a fighting game is usually only made in dreams.

For those pondering The new game (still untitled) is basically a free for all melee fest of turtles characters put on very smash bros esque stages to combat each other in traditional fighting sense. This game won’t be a complete replica of the smash bros series but from reports, there will be obvious similarities including a 2.5D fighting style, interactive stages and items (hopefully no barrels), and possibly even physics similarities as well (it’s already been mentioned that a sort of momentum polpulsion will be used to identify damage power. It’s slated for a end quarter 2009 release and even now the graphics are looking to easily outdo brawl (it has also been suggested to have a superior wifi as well).

Those who are still weary of TMNT’s past should be reminded of the comercial success of Jump Stars, another game made by the developers of smash bros. While it may be too early to tell now, we should all keep our eyes on the look out when this turtley smash bros game comes out the end of next year. Who knows, this be the smash bros game we had wished for when SSBB was released
