Cowabunga! New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game announced

Ok, this is the one case where the term “Shell-ebration” can be used unironically, and I won’t cringe. Destructoid is reporting on Ubisoft’s official announcement that a new TMNT game is in the works for the Nintendo Wii. According to a very enthusiastic press release, the game will be developed by Super Smash Bros. Brawl dev Game Arts, and is meant to commemorate the Turtles’ 25th anniversary. The few screens look fairly brawler or fighter-like, but the graphics look pretty nice for a Wii title. I know that’s a cliche, but truth is truth.

Wow – has it really been 25 years? It seems like only yesterday I was running around my preschool playground, playing as April. This was in the pre-girl turtle days, kids. Anyhoo, I’m excited that the game is being made by a reputable team – and if this title is half as awesome as the classic Turtles arcade game that I mastered way back in ’92, then we’ve got something special on our hands. Check back for more updates as they come in.
