Ninja Turtles video game I get really excited although I mean I guess excited isn't the right word the point is been a long time since Ninja Turtles games
srcwere good if only you know a developer who understood good retro games could make one of the new Ninja Turtles games hey maybe WayForward technologies they always do good licensed games he always do good 2d games let's
let's give the Turtles to wave forward oh what's that we did for danger the use what can't wait to play that at least that's what I thought so you start the game up and you see the way
forward logo and you get really excited and then you see that they're using the same art from the cover of the original Ninja Turtles video game
for the NES you know the one that wasn't as good as the arcade game but was still pretty awesome even even the swimming level which everyone hates yeah they're using the art from that game for the title screen from this game
and that's really exciting so you start off and you have to name your character but that isn't Michelangelo interrupts and he's like dude I'll name you because that's his gimmick in the new
show he names all the enemies and now he's gonna name you so he gives you a name you think oh man this show this game is gonna be so into the shelf and the presentation is gonna be awesome
there's gonna be classic way forward then you go from the awesome Mikey interruption to the game actually starts up and it hits you with the with the theme song from the show
and it looks like it's gonna be like an interactive version of the of the new show and that's amazing and then you start with the game actually starts and it's Turtles Metroidvania that's all it is what an amazing idea for
a game how could this possibly go wrong and to be honest I don't even how it was wrong but it does I think maybe it's because there's not enough crap in it and a simmer without without
enough crap in it it's just a series pipes so you explore the city and and then you're attacking enemy isn't earning XP and you're leveling up your character and it looks like it's
gonna be awesome like much like running right now it looks like it's gonna be awesome okay you know it just doesn't change everything just kind of like stays the same and it doesn't it doesn't go to that next level like
watch this like here I am and it's awesome and then I go next level and there's a lot of fun to explore the map though and it's a big map and it's all interconnected and it's just
like Metroid and Castlevania where in fact it's exactly like Metroid where you know you find an upgrade and there's a little like statue holding the upgrade and it looks just like
the chozo ruins that Samus grabs her power-ups from in the original Metroid it's kind of like a nod to the old-school there and that's really cool and that stuff's awesome because
that's just Metroidvania with the turtles but then the problem is there's not a lot of like there's not a lot of turtles in it there's not a lot of character and personality
like if you're gonna do turtles Metroidvania make it very very very turtles a lot of this just looks very generic like there's not a lot of the character from the show
even and that's the weird thing it starts off like there's gonna be I mean it really shouldn't be more fun to sit here on the floor and play with my action figures than it is to play
danger to use my god news for you yes wait forward can do amazing things and I'm sure they could have done amazing things with the ninja turtles they were definitely on the right track turtles Metroidvania awesome but it just
feels a little rushed like they didn't get to go all the way everything just feels like it's this was the start and this was step one that it needed really really needed to be fleshed out but it didn't get it and that sucks man and the music to music is kind of boring
but even so it's still not a bad game you know it's just just kind of okay which is disappointing
because I'm not okay with okay the turtles Master Splinter wouldn't settle for okay there must strike hard and fade away without a trace leaving a trace.
