Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is a love letter to Turtles in Time that modernizes the classic beat-'em-up while retaining its 16-bit essence.
The devs of this game has done a major good job on this one. Even added bosses that was aired like 2 times on the classic animated series. That was a surprise even I could not foresee. Many don't even know those characters, but I can confirm that they are not newly added like Tempestra and.. was it Dirtbag? Rat king, i think people remember. I have not played the game. But I would love to try it :) I used to empty my pockets on the old one at the arcade. Beat it over and over again.
So with the physical releases being slated for freaking August, looks like I'm going digital for PC first and then buying it again for Switch. No way in shell I can wait that long
I've pre-ordered the digital version for the Switch. The game thumb nail is already sitting there on my home screen - such a tease! But like you, I want the physical copy so will get that once released. There was no chance of me waiting!
Anybody else gonna play the heck outta of this game alongside with pizza? I know I am. Ahhhh....this legitimately is a love letter for us who grew up in the 90s.
@@monkeyball9223 the fact that this legit is like a sequel to the tmnt turtles in time, I almost shed a tear and I screamed at the tv: FINALLY!!!!!!!! I wonder what took them so long to make or recreate a game like this tho. But kudos to the production team that did this.
Correction to any TMNT fan as I'm an 03 myself and can see how important/monumental this game is as there's definitely the Turtles in Time and Hyper Heist influence in Shredders Revenge that keeps the charm but modernises it. The fact it's on Gamepass is no brainer but I'll end up buying it anyway to support the game and the work and sheer passion of the developer you can see it in the hand drawn animation, sound FX and soundtrack, interactive backgrounds and all those minor details of how the foot and turtles react and interact with each other the fact they added April, Splinter and Casey Jones is a solid plus and just adds more to the game and 6 player coop one of my most anticipated games of the year.
Man cant wait to play this game today. I feel like a kid again back in the 80's. I hope the dev team will add DLC for this game. Anyone want to play as the Shredder in Arcade mode?
This looks absolutely amazing. It's funny that people consider 2 hours for a beat-em-up too short. If anything, that's a little too lengthy for the genre. Still, I cannot wait to play this game.
@@heyjeySigma What we like is all preference of course, but most beat-em-ups from the '90's can be beaten in under an hour. Turtles in Time (SNES) is about a 20-30 minute playthrough. I'm not keen on longer games in general, but I can still stomach 2 hours since I'm a huge TMNT fan.
Interesting point about the difficulty of confusing which turtle you are playing. I played through this game with my wife, where she was mostly playing April; so we didn't experience this problem much. But I think when we both went turtle, it happened a few times. I think a nice enhancement the developers could add is to apply a setting which allows each turtle to have its unique shade of green that was sometimes used, such as with the original toys.
Even though they said they wont release any dlc for the game. I do wished they would change their mind and do so. Be nice if they would make it where you can play as Shredder, Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady to go through the game again fighting they turtles and other heroes as the bosses. Just think that would really live up to the name Shredder's Revenge. Plus how fun would it be to be Shredder and fight Splinter as the final boss? Not to mention having like Vernon and Stan be the first boss fight then possibly Irma the second followed by other favorites mixed within the turtles boss fights such as Casey, April, Napoleon, and so on.
So waiting for this one! Preordered of course! Reminds me of the classic arcade style beaten ups. Turtles rule!!! Can’t wait to play tomorrow, feel sorry for my switch!!
Played today. This is the hr that we have been waiting for. Seamless couch+online co-op is amazing. No lag , every villain you remember fighting, new moves, story mode and arcade mode. It's all here.
Nice !!! and i'm also excited for any future DLC... like new playable characters, some Arena challenges or Boss Rush ... this definitely seems to be such a nice game.
@@marinosgoat9208 That's not correct. I just called Sony's customer service and the game will be live on the PS store at 5a eastern time. Not quite sure at your time, but I'm guessing the game will be available either at 1a or 2a for you.
DotEmu is killer with the beat em ups gameplay mechanics. I just wish the aesthetic was more mature themed. SoR4 also had a very cartoony art, I am not a fan of it
Cool game. Now, in general, it's like a renaissance of beat 'em up. At a recent steam festival, I played the demo of another potentially good game - Arnold Bounty Hunter. It looks more like the first Battletoads - there are not only fights, but also various adventures with platforming, hydrocycles. It also looks interesting.
The day Shredder's Revenge released I bought it, a large cheese pizza, a 2 liter of Pepsi and called up my friend since the age of 9 and we played this in one sitting start to finish. It's not often you can feel like you went back to being a kid for a few hours in your life, but Tribute games and Dotemu gave that to me. With no caveats. It was one of my favorite gaming experiences of the last 10 years for that simple reason. 11/10.
7 characters to choose from. Don’t forget Casey Jones!! Also Mike Patton of Faith No More singing the theme and the majority of leading VO actors from the late 80’s-early 90’s cartoon!
I'm surprised he didn't mention the fact that some of the OG Voice actors from the series had lent their voices for the game. That was the top reason to want to get this game
Actually in the good old days the arcade beat em ups had infinite continues as long as you pumped more quarters into the machine! That's my one beef I have with this game. The limited lives and no continues seems kind of arbitrary in an arcade mode. Maybe they should've called it SNES console mode and have an arcade mode with infinite continues! Aside from that this game is AWESOME 🐢🐢🐢🐢‼️‼️
just for perspective, though, my co worker and I played through Turtles in Time and beat it 3 times, each taking a maximum of 32 minutes per run through. the first two times we did it on normal mode without tweaking any settings, ( I had a game over the first completed coop play through) and the 3rd time we did it on hard and beat it together that way. so a 2-2.5 hour play through is a decent size play through in comparison. we can always hope for a sequel!
When will there be a remake of “final fight” another great 90’s arcade classic? Don’t know how many quarters I spent on that one. Would be more than happy to spend another 120 on a remake.
The designs (levels, characters, animations) are all fantastic and spot on. The voicing is obviously wonderful, given the return of the OG's from the 87 series. And I'm very happy that super attacks have their own meter and no longer drain HP. I always found that to be a particularly annoying holdover from the Arcade games, which were designed to drain as many quarters from you as possible.
@@jakkudemoff3043 yea I think Streets of rage 4 can be beat in about 2 hours or a little less and I was satisfied with that , also the developers of TMNT said they aren't ruling out future DLC depending on the reception of the game..
@@jakkudemoff3043 well if you actually go back and play those old turtle games back then (turtles in time, hyperstone heist etc,) they can actually be beaten in 3 or 4 hours as well so this game truly matches those games it was inspired by in length as well.
Shame they didn't decided to add branching paths to add more replayability, something like Outruns branching 'pyramid' paths, so each time you play the game you can pic a different route
It's 10:13am gmt here in the United Kingdom and its not letting me purchase it from the ps store. Its just showing the add to wishlist button. I noticed in one of the comments, someone said it was releasing at 5am Eastern time. Well, here in the UK, we are 5 hours ahead of the Eastern time zone which would make it 10am. Its 10:13am at the time of typing this comment and I still cannot purchase it from the ps store. Maybe the person who commented and said it was being released at 7am Eastern time, was right.
I've only had one hang-up on the switch lite & that's the odd loading stutter it has or it error's me out completely on occasion,aside from that it's been fun.
2 and a half hours is not on the short side for a beat em up, most beat em ups are only 30 minutes max, its the replay ability that increases game time
they are knocking it out the park whit this remakes I hope they keep up the good work and keep them coming there is a few more beat em up I would love to see revive whit this game treatment or the street of rage treatment a upgraded final fight alienforce Simpson game ect would int be a bad thing there where so many good ones

Fun game but kinda bare bones. What you see is what you get. Very few secrets outside the one character you get from beating story mode.

*this is exactly what i needed this summer.*
Using the quintessential art style and characters from the late 80's to 90's version of the cartoon show was the best decision ever!
You're comparing this to Turtles in Time, but this game more accurately encapsulates the feeling of TMNT: The Arcade Game.
I wouldnt be surprised if this game sold between 5 to 10 million sales.
man since the 1st announcement EVERY1 has been saying they will buy this game & cant wait 2 do so
DotEmu is killer with the beat em ups gameplay mechanics. I just wish the aesthetic was more mature themed. SoR4 also had a very cartoony art, I am not a fan of it
But it's the 70s-80s turtles of course their going to be cartoony it's apart of that eras charm and appeal

It looks more like the first Battletoads - there are not only fights, but also various adventures with platforming, hydrocycles. It also looks interesting.
Now imagine if we also get this kind of game for the other eras of ninja turtles. Like one for the 2003 era and another for the 2012 show
If that happens, take all my money and give me that game.
