TMNT on the Way

Today at its Gamers' Day, Konami of America reconfirmed that an all-new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game is on the way. Specifically, it announced that versions will arrive on GameCube, PlayStation 2 and PC. Additionally, a pocket version for Game Boy Advance is planned for simultaneous release in October 2003. Looks like turtle shells and leftover pizza are back in for Halloween kids.

The new offering will be based on the revival of the franchise, which the Fox network is bringing back to Saturday morning this February. The show is still based on the famous green dudes Leanardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael, as they seek constant retribution upon Shredder. The game is described as 3D "fighting/action," where players will draw upon their ninja skills to kick, punch, and dodge their way through packs of Foot Ninjas. With a Story Mode and a Vs. Mode there is room for both single and multiplayer action. Whether there is cooperative play for Story Mode is not yet confirmed, but it seems likely.

So now that we have our Turtles in a Half-Shell back, can we get our Battletoads fix? More details soon.
