SAN FRANCISCO – September 3, 2009 – Ubisoft today announced that it will be releasing an all new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? adventure game in honor of the 25th anniversary of the brand. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Arcade Attack, developed exclusively for Nintendo DS? system, has an original storyline and is a side-scrolling beat-'em-up game. It is a tribute to the original coin-op classics that made the Turtles into video game legends. The game pits the four Ninja Turtle brothers against their old nemesis, Shredder, and his many villainous henchmen.

"The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 25th anniversary 'shell-ebration' is quickly turning into a Turtle fan's dream, especially if they love video games,” said Gary Richardson, CEO of Mirage Studios. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Arcade Attack will absolutely thrill the old school Turtle fan, especially the ones that recall putting in countless hours at the arcade, as well as the newer fan who loves ninja action.”

"Gamers all over the world recall the countless hours of fun these types of arcade games provided,” said Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Arcade Attack plans to recapture that nostalgia and add an entirely new level of sophistication. Given the success of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled, as well as the excitement for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash-Up, we believe that Arcade Attack truly completes the TMNT experience.”

Available this Holiday, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Arcade Attack will feature an all-new combination system, enabling players to string together uppercuts and roundhouse kicks to unlock a series of moves powerful enough to take out even the strongest enemy. In addition, the game will include a cooperative mode, allowing for arcade action with either a friend via local wireless, or a system-controlled Turtle brother.

TMNT fans will be able to play an early version of the game by visiting the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Party Bus, which will be located at the entrance of the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle, WA, from Friday, September 4th through Sunday, September 6th.

All I can think is that it looks like every other cash in game.

Looks like it'll be good to me.
They wanna make it as clsoe to the arcades as possible.
I think thats a wise choice.

Something Konami didn't do and went with some odd piss poor platformer game engine.

I think its safe to say it'll be at least decent.

I would rather have seen a remake of Turtles in Time for the DS just like there was for the PS3 and 360, not a new game which will probably be bad. Wi-Fi and online co-op would be awesome, this just looks really lame as the graphics are garbage since they decided to go with a half assed 3D art style where everything looks blocky, Turtles in Time had smoother character textures and actually looked like real characters instead of blobs like this junk.

I am already predicting bad reviews for this one

No arcade fighter looks this bad aside from the old Sega Virtual Fighter games, ya know those games that were also on the Saturn so many years ago and also could be played at arcades

Well, I'd prefer fully animated 2D graphics myself, but I don't think the graphics look all that bad on the DS for this one.
I mean, I've seen worse.
The turtles look like turtles, they have the bandandas around their heads, the bad guy looks likea bad guy and the wodden planks look like wooden planks.
Even the fence looks like a not too horribly pixelated fence.

Also Virtua Fighter does indeed look bad compared to todays graphics, but its an old early 3D game that helped pave the way for 3D games and fighters today. So you should have more respect for that game.

But anyway, point is the graphics don't look early DS graphics horrible and seem to have some efforts.
Plus I'm really more worried about the gameplay.
Fight a buncha enemies, mix it up well enough, introduce new ones every new level or so, keep the levels reasonable in length and fight a boss.
If they keep with that it shouldn't be too bad.
Add some alternate paths and story arcs and alternate bosses and it'll be pretty good.

We'll see how it is on release though.
