You kmow,judging by the cel-shaded style of graphics,this game reminds me of something similar to Sly Cooper. Looks almost like Sly graphics wise.
It would only be appropriate, given the graphics match the art style of the television series.
(And if I remember right, Sly Cooper isn't actually cel-shaded; I believe it's gouraud shading with outlining. It's just some of the textures are flatly-colored.)

And with Konami behind it, the game will not disappoint.
Yeah, the game should be enjoyable. Still kind of a downer, though, that it'll only be 2-player. Unless Konami pulls off a Metal Slug in that some characters either get captured or carry out other commands.
I'd still prefer 4-player, though. Maybe Konami can change it before release, if it's still in the programming stages? (When is it due for release?)

I can honestly say that this is the game that I am most anticipating this year. The new Turtles series is, I dare say, on par with a lot of anime that I've watched, and I wonder how it will be applied to this game. Will the game go beyond the first story arc, which just finished up about two weeks ago? Will Casey Jones FINALLY be a playable character, since he's been in more than half the episodes so far? Will you actually get to fight Shredder without his armor?
The other thing I wonder about is why I don't recognize the levels. The Magic Box's screenshots are clearly from the first couple of episodes, but I don't recognize the other ones. I guess the first screenshot could be from just about any episode (fighting street punks in a generic building), but the second one's in a parking garage. I don't remember a parking garage, though I did miss a couple episodes.
I also noticed shurikens with numbers next to the turtle's faces. The numbers are pretty high, so I guess they're for ranged attacks, sort of like Shinobi. Makes sense, since the Turtles are suddenly using shurikens a lot in this show.

Things I want in the game (either the console or portable version).
1)Casey, Splinter and April as playable characters (in April's case, with a single katana).
I thought of having Splinter as a playable character too since he's gotten into fights in at least a few of the episodes, but wouldn't he look really stupid if he fought just like the turtles? He'd probably be a secret character and they would have to think up a completely new way for him to fight to keep him from looking ridiculous (a Repel button like Last Blade, maybe?)... but that's a lot for a secret character, so I'm not sure if they'll actually put him in the game.
Then again, it depends on how ambitious this game is. The new Turtles series is probably the most ambitious American cartoon I've seen in years, so maybe the game will match it. I'm not gonna get my hopes up, though. As for April... ummm... WHAT?! Is there something in the comics about a katana that I don't know about? So far she hasn't fought anything at all in the series, but then again, she's only been in like three episodes so far. If they made her a playable character, maybe they could have her faint and play dead on the ground to regain HP like Akari. It's the most appropriate fighting style I can think of for her.

Yeah,Splinter should be altered in fighting styles somewhat. Splinter could probably kick ass,though.
April's new look is cool. And I like that Angel girl from the cartoon.

Actually, I was thinking of having him as an uber-fighter, the best one in the game (as he is in the series). He'd be Akuma/Gouki to the turtles' Ryu (or Saysyu to the turtles' Kyo, or Kyo to the turtles' Shingo; you get the drift).

Well, I don't know if they'll do this in the show (although I can swear they already did, in the "Nano" episode), they do have April training with the katana in the Archie series and maybe in the original series, although I can't confirm either case them with security. In any case, that's the weapon she uses, cos that's what her official profile says here, on the "weapons" section. Also, a fainting move could be a good idea, and very appropriate :).

personally I think that little girl Angel would make a better female character then April, she's actually done some fighting in the series
Hell, as long as we're wishing, let's go for broke and throw her in the list as well. What fighting style should she use?
Something that just occured to me. If Konami goes for a totally accurate Turtles game, it's going to be incredibly unbalanced.

The Nano episode is the only one I didn't watch ^__^' (I've got it on tape, so I'll check later, probably does have her using a katana)

Why she'd use a combination Muay Thai/Judo of course... all the cool cats combine those styles!
or maybe she could just be a Casey clone! only faster/weaker then he is!

It's probably going to be like the older games... Leo is average, Don is slowest but strongest, (and I'm not certain but I believe Ralf was fastest and Mike had the best defense)

In the first NES game by Konami this was the strength/quickness order
From Strongest to Weakest Attack Power
Don, Leo, Mike, Ralph
- I think it's debateable who had stronger attacks between Leo and Mike because it could vary according to oppenent.
From Quickest to Slowest Attack Speed
Ralph, Mike, Leo, Don
-I think Mike was quicker with the nunchucks then Leo was with his Katanas, but it's debateable.
From Longest to Shortest Attack Range
Don, Leo, Mike, Ralph
-Mike has barely longer attack range then Ralph
The interesting thing that Konami did in this game was that most of the enemies in the game had a special weakness for each weapon. Another thing was that the game was balanced pretty well. A novice player might think that using Don and Leo all the time would be the best option since they have the highest attack power, but really, that's bad strategy. Ralph has an easy time destroying mousers. It's also easier to deflect ninja stars with Leo. For bosses, you'd want to use Don almost all the time. Every turtle had a role. Mike had an easier time fighting certain enemies. It was up to you to figure this out.
Anyway, this is one of my all time favorite games. It's a bit difficult for a kid's game, but I loved it. Konami put a lot of effort into the game. You can tell by the number of bosses the game had. The game even had a world map- few games at that time used a world map system. It was also very important to understant how the map system worked.
It even had cut scenes before Ninja Gaiden made them popular! You even had to destroy the Technodrome! And Splinter and April were always giving you tips! What more could you ask from a game that was published in 1989!

I also missed that episode. I've only missed one or two episodes, but that's one of them. I figured it had to have April in it, since she had to be in more than just two or three episodes of the show. So, she uses a katana? That's cool. At least that fixes the whole "Why don't they ever teach the weak, normal human character to defend themselves?" problem that so many superhero comics/shows have.
And as long as we're all going back over what we've read and know about the Turtles, does anybody else think that the guy with the energy blade looks like and could possibly be Bebop in human form? Something about him just struck me as really familiar, and I knew that they were dropping hints about other characters being in the show. After all, I think it's pretty obvious who Shredder's "enemies" are after the long shot of that thing that he got out of the harbor*. Did Bebop ever appear in human form for any length of time in the comics or anything like that?
* I am being intentionally vague just in case anyone that's not watching the show right now wants to start watching it without major spoilers. I don't think inviso-text is really required, though.

Oh yeah, you brought back memories of the first TMNT game. Yes, that was one of my all-time favourites as well and I couldn't agree with you more. It was pretty challenging for a game back then.
But the part of Splinter and April giving tips...What good was a tip that says, "The map above shows your location. You can do it."???

in the newest PSM (the awful swimsuit issue) there's a few screen shots of the game... and pic of the 2-player Vs Mode select screen.
In addition to the turtles Casey, Hun, and Shredder (in armor) are shown as selectable... I believe Peter Laird (co-create of TMNT who is not Kevin Eastman) said on his site he'd seen footage of April in said mode as well.
EDIT:
Laird does mention April being playable (although it could be contested... as she's not shown doing anything... he could be just assuming she's going to fight)
quote:
There were several environments, including the Shredder's "throneroom", a subway, an alley, and some rooftops, and all of the Turtles except Don, Hun, and April, all showing wicked fighting moves. I think this game is going to be a blast -- I remember playing the original 2D Konami TMNT game and having a lot of fun with that, but this is going to be really cool.
The layout shown in PSM looks to have 2 empty blocks... I assume those belong to April and Splinter, but don't quote me on such.
