A new 'Making Of' trailer for forthcoming movie tie-in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is now showing on Eurogamer TV.
It stars Nick Harper, the game's creative director, who's on hand to reveal a little of what we can expect from TMNT and how it's all shaping up.
"Replica arcade cabinets are popular among collectors nowadays, with three sizes commonly available: 3:4 scale, 1:4 scale, and 1:6 scale cabinets. Numskull's Quarter Arcades line is stepping up their game (and prices) with today's announcement of 1:4 scale Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and TMNT: Turtles in Time cabinets. Both miniature cabinets are fully playable and support 4-player local co-op," says Co-Optimus.
There are tons of great games that have been overlooked in the mass of more popular titles. And I don’t just mean underrated games, either. We’re talking about grossly underrated and underappreciated titles in otherwise well-regarded franchises.
FINALLY someone who acknowledges the greatness of Gremlins 2 NES!! One of my favorite movie tie-in games of all times. I have fond memories of both the game and the movie from when I was a kid. I was playing it again just a couple of months ago, and it still holds up very, very well!
I rarely see people mention Gremlins 2 when discussing great NES games and I love you for that!
*edit - Sunsoft really was a fantastic studio. Another favorite, underrated late NES game from them was Batman Return of the Joker. It was so much better than the SNES version too. Something about it died in the effort towards upgrading the graphics and music. The NES version felt darker, moodier.
Np, great read! I also owned and enjoyed the heck out of Super C back in the day.
I'd also add Metalstorm to my list of underappreciated titles. :)
Nice job. After reading about Xexyx (or however it is spelled) I was reminded of Astyanax and Faxanadu. The names were just otherworldly. But they were tragically underrated as well.
Maybe you should consider a Part 2?
@thorstein Faxanadu is one of my favorite games of all time . I played it so much as a kid I still play from time to time
Kabuki Quantum Fighters was a Nick Arcade classic. Never played it but the name has stuck with me to this day because of that show.
Not surprised. They usually kept playing the same popular games of the day in different rotations. Every now and then you got a random title like that one. I found the name so odd that it just stuck with me.
With Sunsoft you knew you were getting good graphics and music,
Personal honorable mentions to Faxanadu and Crystalis.
I dont know if its been underrated, but kung fu master was such a awesome game on the nes. Even if it couldnt compare with the arcade version in graphics, the gameplay was so amasing. Awesome sound effects too. Played it for countless hours....
When you think of perfect arcade titles, your mind is likely to go to a certain beat ’em up called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, aka TMNT: The Arcade Game.
The amount of £1 coins I put in this game as a kid. Up there with streetfighter II and final fight for me. Classic arcade goodness.
i am serisuoly considering to buy this game, i like the video expecially with the 2 turtles bit where u can throw eachother onto far buildings.
but the graphics didnt seem very next gen to me, hmm but they stll working on it.
I just hope it plays well. Last TNMT games were rather... repetative. I did enjoy it. But I just couldn't play it a second time. I hope it plays well on the Wii as well. I don't want it to use the wiimote... but a more pirmitive controller. Not every game has to use the wiimote. If they do... the gig might get boring :(
I am excited for the game it's been awhile since there was a TMNT game I really liked, I am also looking forword to the movie!! Its gonna be hot!
