The past few years Dotemu has done its very best to nestle itself snugly in the depths of wherever my nostalgia button rest. With great remakes and re-imaginings of games such as Wonder boy , Wind jammers, Metal slug Tactics, Street of Rage 4 and so much more the company has established themselves as a bit of an authority when it comes to these type of games. When they announced a new Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles which is pretty much a spiritual sequel to TNMT: Turtles in time from a solid 3 decades ago , I knew it would be in good hands. And with the success of the recent release of Streets of Rage 4 expectations for Shredders Revenge are high.
This new Teen Turtle brawler action is being developed by Tribute Games in partnership with Nickelodeon and it is all too clear that they are fans of the old classics. Once again they bring Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael as for the player to kick some shell, but they also add new iconic characters to play with such as Master Splinter and April O'Neil the reporter with hard hitting questions and even harder hitting fists.
The game is a hearty mix of modern game design mixed with beautiful high resolution pixel art packaged in a side scrolling bear-em-up game that mirrors the designs of the previous side scrolling games from the late eighties and early nineties. We took a seat on a comfy sofa and booted up the demo jumping right into the action and were quickly captivated by the game's looks and gameplay.


The game is set to be released this summer on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PC. It will include the original voice actors for from the animated series as well as some original villain actors as well making the game feel like a Saturday morning cartoon. ( yes kids we only had Saturday mornings for ourselves). There are various special physical editions for sale right now as well so if you have been nostalgic or are just a fan of the Turtles you might want to check those our online or at your local retailer.
