This will be my Summer of Arcade freebie as I didn't like the arcade game but can manage being essentially getting a free XBLA release as I'll be buying the other four.

This game should have tripping. That's like the best feature ever.

Despite the preference for Raph from the creators, I still think Leo should be considered P1.

It's been that way for ages....

OK, I'm biased, Leo is my fav even in the original comics

Forget Rabbids, where're the Rabbits!? Surely no true Turtles property is complete without Usagi Yojimbo cameos?

@tinky XIII: But why? It's not like Usagi being butchered in the old cartoon made the actual UY comics any worse. I just think it'd be a neat touch to the game (not to mention more character variety!) if he was in there. But I'm not going to get it, so there we go.

@Pombar: All I ask for in this game is Usagi Yojimbo and the Cowboys of Moo Mesa.

We need more games where ninja turtles that behead their enemies, honourable samurai rabbits, and gun blazing cows are allowed free to roam and smash each other.

I think it would be cool if they did pull from the expanded Turtles universe (cartoons, movies, games, etc.)

But please . . . please . . . no more cross promotions. One Rabbid was enough.

I don't know about the rest of you, but the fact that Ubisoft is trying really, REALLY hard to ride on the coattails of Smash Bros. is an instant turnoff instead of a turn on for me.

@NeoStarr: It's not being made by the creator of Smash Bros (Masahiro Sakurai), it's being made by Game Arts, the third-party developer that Nintendo hired to help Sakurai develop Brawl. The core Smash Bros. team is internally part of Nintendo's HAL Laboratories team.

@RockyRan: God forbid anyone make a game that is similar to another game. This criticism would be put to better use if aimed at every FPS ever.

Games innovate, and part of progress is piggybacking off the successes of your predecessors. Just because Nintendo may or may not have been the first to make a game that you consider "Smash Brothers-esque" doesn't mean that others should take the idea and see what they can do to improve it.

@UltimatePancakeSensation: Again, there's a difference between inspiration and downright ripoff. We don't know for sure if it IS a ripoff, but constantly trying to have us associate this game with Brawl certainly makes me think so.

We don't see Halo clones have the words "Master" and "Chief" in their own titles, do we? Or action beat-em-ups contain the word "Devil" and "Cry" or "God" and "War? You're confusing "inspiration" with "ZOMG HEY LOOK GUYS THIS GAME IS SO MUCH LIKE THE OTHER POPULAR ONE LOOK LOOK LOOK!!" I don't mind the former. I mind the latter.

@Aflack: feels sick to his stomach: Well, I did feel Brawl lacked in the "newness" department, but that's actually not what I meant.

Hmm ... did you ever consider that a publisher may make more money per sale on Live? Publishers pay hosting costs on PSN, so if they were to choose whether they wanted someone to d/l a game on Live or PSN, they would probably choose Live. PS3 owners don't really lose out, the game is still released.

Do you really think MS would PAY for a TMNT game? Come on ...

YES YES YES, FUCKING YES.

If a company makes a game for one system, then fine. That Game becomes the face of a console.

Third party Cock Blocking? Let the Consumer make the choice what System he wants to play on.

FUCK third party exclusive bullshit.

Fuck anyone who thinks exclusive DLC is good for gaming.

Yes, FUCK YOU.

@carrliadiere: nothing affiliated with bill gates can ever be _cool_.

Useful, fun... but never cool.

None of the 3 majors are cool. Especially not Nintendo. But ESPECIALLY not Microsoft.

Rockstar might be cool. Maaaaybe Konami.

@Combichristoffersen: Nope, much earlier. Microsoft actually stopped being cool when they created the 640K limit on conventional PC memory and forced everyone to become expert with dark magics like EMM386 just in order to play fricking X-Wing.

That's not to say that they weren't ever cool. Back when they were first developing an OS for the new IBM PC (what eventually became the thing that everyone now thinks of as a PC), both IBM and Microsoft had prototype developer kits. At IBM, this equipment was kept under an incredibly tight security and electromagnetic protection protocol. At Microsoft, a couple of IBM visitors witnessed Microsoft engineers throwing the kit the length of the offices as a football. You see, back then they were cool :)
