Another SoR/TMNT beat 'em up game, not bad, but not anything new. :/

They could have made a Mercenaries clone or a Just Cause clone and it'd be a lot more enjoyable.

This reminded me of a great game from my childhood, Action Man: Operation Extreme. I wonder if it aged well.

This one looks rough. And cheap.

We are having a kind of beat em up revival right now and what we dont need are some really shit games that ruin it and make people feel like they wasted their money and kill the momentum.

I wouldn't mind if it were with The Simpsons.

I really miss The Simpsons Arcade being available on modern gaming systems.

The video animation looks rough but in-game looks good. 2D beat 'em ups aren't rocket science anyway. If the game play is even just passable I'll probably enjoy it since I'm a fan of the series. I just hope there are more than the few playable characters shown in the trailer.

Ok so when will they make Aliens vs Predator?

I want to see River Cuty Ransom again. I loved the fact you can level up and increase your stats with techniques. One of my favorite beatemups of all time.

GIJoe gives me lots of good memories. I used to watch the cartoon each morning before school.

i loved those NES ones when i was a kid. Is this an old NES games' remake?

wierd ip to make a beaten up, even the cartoon is all about people with weapons and vehicles and yet the game will most likely be just punching and kicking ...

Yeah, this feels lazy when there were other paths they could have taken.

another game that should be on console. this epic and steam only release only means one thing. failure imo. who wants to use epic or steam lol. data collection galore on the slaves using it.

This franchise was already lame in the 90's, surprised it still exists.

The game itself was shown just for about 10 seconds but it looked slow and with not very nice sound effects, the loud music make difficult to judge.

Can't properly judge right now.

Based on the game's art style, if the gameplay is anything like Shredder's Revenge then sign me up.

why not bring back the Konami GI Joe? that's a great mix between a SHUMP and 3rd person view with 4 player fun.

 

[NeroAngelo]

maybe it's just me, but the last thing I think when I hear GI Joe is the troops running around punching each other ^^;
and it looks a$$ to boot

 

[LightBeam]

It looks « fine » I guess ? But the gameplay looks slow af
I used to like pretty much all beat them ups but since the latest Double Dragon, now I'm cautious
