But will it play as well as its predecessors? That is the question...

MVS version in 2003. Are you ready?

i just wanna know exactly what are the ninja turtles gonna look like. Hopefuly there the regular kind, not the ones in cyber armor shit. Might be kinda cool if they all had the darker llok with red bandanas on all of them. But i think since its aimed towards kids they have to ahve diff colors to make them more colorfull and reconignizable.

What happened to that John Woo CG TMNT project he was thinking of doing? was that shelved? Its great to see the toitles back as Bebop would say, but i'm 19 years old now and I would like to see a mature series/movie akin to the old B&W comic.

Well I was thoroughly dissapointed, no, horrified by the live action tv series they tried awhile back *shudders, power rangers teamed with TMNT*. Hopefully this series will have the magic of the old one but I have my doubts. Of course everyone should know by now I am mr. pessimistic ^_^

The John Woo movie is "in waiting" according to the offical web-site, no company is willing to produce a TMNT movie until after a new cartoon series is established...

so if this series is good and not awful like the Transformers returns, the movie should be coming soon.

I believe it's something like Krang was kicked out of Dimension X, he has the knowledge to build weapons of destuction, but no body to build with. Shredder has the desire to conquer the world but no means to do so...

So Shredder and Krang team up, Shred helped Krang get a new body (either his little walker or the 8 foot tall guy) and Krang would let Shredder be partly in charge once he had control of Earth...

at least that's what I remember, it's likely they actually said something totally different in the show and I forgot (also it could just be Krang in toy form was badass so they HAD to use him as much as possible so they just teamed him with Shredder, I had both his walker and foot tall Robot Guy forms!)

Krang was banished from Dimension X and had his body taken away from him. Oroku Saki (Shredder) and Krang met (not sure how?) and Krang decided to give Shredder lots of technological knowhow and weponry (Technodrome, Robot foot soldiers, etc.) in exchange for Shredder building him a new body.

Ah. Thank you both for your replies. I sincerely hope he's in the new games.. he was a really cool boss in each of the games he was in ( and he was harder than Shredder in the first arcade game.. he took MANY more hits, Shredder just had that cheap move that killed you instantly )

Sadly, from reports, it looks like Krang won't be in the new cartoon so I doubt he'll be in the game. Which is side cause I kinda of liked him...

Like the design of the Turtles, but I'm intrested to see how April will look in the new series and what role she will play. I'm hoping it's a lit more...pro-active then her old role...:)

As for Konami? Well it better be a 2-D beat em up for the Turtles...A new Turtles Beat-up for any system would just so own it (Or heck, a port of the old ones to the GBA...).

Enough power for a 4-player beat-em up!

I'm interested to see if they give her a better wardrobe than that bright yellow jumpsuit she was stuck with in the cartoon.

While a new turtle game that played like the old Konami side scrollers would be welcome news [heck, any new side scroller would be welcome news] I hope they figure out a way to better help distinguish one turtle from another. I know that part of their charm is that they're identical to each other but it was very easy to lose track of which turtle you were in the old arcade games.

The shows supposed to be 2 and half-D (like Futrama, were most of the time it's traditional animation and for cool pans and vechile shots they use cel-shading) so using Cel-shaded Turtles in a game would probably be a very good match to the show's style...

and to comment on making the turtles look different it would be nice if they gave them their "Next Mutation" bandannas (all wrapped differently) and comic colors (this was in Turtles In Time, so it'll probably be back)... would make it much easier to tell whose who in a game

Like someone here said, it looks like a return to the glory days for Konami. The new Turtles look friggin' awesome, and now I can actually have hope for a new game. It'd better be as good as the old Turtles games. And like Dr. Baghead said, it doesn't matter whether it's 2D or 3D, what matters is that you get all 4 Turtles fighting at once, like in the arcade Turtles games.

I'm sorry to hear about the exclusion of Krang though. Krang was awesome.

Useless but true fact: Hitler only had one testicle. When you think about it

Was Krang in the original comics? I'm just wondering because it seems like he might exisit just to make more toys in the TV show.

at any rate, Krang is a minor (although still sad) lose compared to FOX's last TMNT show... so long as we have Shredder (not "Dragon King" or whatever) and April (not "Venus") we should be fine... also I cannot stress enough, that they eat PIZZA (the live action show had them eating anything that sounded weird... like Michealangelo enjoyed a Hot Dog with mashmallows on it)

I've actually looked through a bit of the original comics, and I don't remember seeing him anywhere. Then again, Shredder wasn't in a lot of the comics either. I know for a fact that he was in there at some point or other, but the comics were different from the cartoon in that Shredder wasn't the bad guy for every story.

However, the comics did have quite a bit of space and/or dimensional travel, so Krang could have been in the comics at some point. I haven't seen ALL of the comics, ya know.

Nope, no Krang in the old Ninja Turtles B&W comics. And as for why Shredder is not there, believe it or not, he died around issue 10. They may have brought him back a long time down the road, but I am only familiar with some of the first couple years plots (as those are the ones I've gotten at flea markets and comic stores).

Well then I guess it's okay Krang's not in the cartoon... so long as Shredder is a main stay villian (not like in Next Mutation were he's a brief cameo)

I wonder what a large scale success of the new series can spawn yet another movie(that would hopefully be better than the third). If they could get Usagi Y. to have a cameo or two that could give him a new level of popularity.

And the toys, good God the toys. Most of the earlier toys were the best. The characters were vell done ad the sets like the sewer and technodrome were nice. The vehicles owned.

I have the original turtle figures (lots of others too) as well as the technodrome (it is awesome), the sewer (also cool), the turtles van and the vehicle that Bebop and Rocksteady used, with the drill? (can't remember the name of it). I loved the first TMNT movie too, it was great, two was alright, I though. I actually don't mind three too much, since Casey is in it (he wasn't in two, I don't think).

I had a huge collection of Turtle toys. The only vehicle I had was a motorcycle that was supposed to be used by April. It had a seat that would open up and could be used as a storage compartment for her camera, which itself could be mounted on the bike. As for the characters themselves, I had all four turtles in one line or another. I had a couple of the ones that had the shell that could be opened and have weapons stored inside, and I had a few of the Military ones too. Of course, I had a lot of the regular ones, but I never got a Casey Jones or Usagi Yojimbo. Blast it. Oh, I also had Super Shredder. Super Shredder ruled.

I definitely enjoyed the first two movies (despite the Vanilla Ice cameo in Secret of the Ooze). As for the third, I know that I saw it at one point or other, but I only have vague memories of it and I can't recall whether I liked it or not.

When he and Rocksteady got a hold of some mutagen they decided to try and make Shredder proud by making Slash into an evil Turtle. He started out dumb as brick, but after being shot through space came back rather smart

I think he was only in the TV shows though (the Turtle in TMNT:the movie 2 was Tokar, a snapping turtle.)

Why yes, yes there was... he was the Turtle's "brother" in away... in that he was a Gecko who crawled into the ozze at the same time they did... but where as the kindly Homato Yoshi took the turtles in and trained them to be heros, Gecko was taught to be evil by a crime lord who found him... He befriended Michealangelo and I believe he either completely reformed or was some sort of roug hero later on...
