Developed by much of the same team that brought us Super Smash Bros. Brawl, there is a reason party fighter fans have been paying attention to TMNT: Smash Up. With no Power Stone 4 in sight and the next Smash Bros. probably another console generation away, is Smash Up the cure to your 4-player brawling itch? Sure, but let’s get something straight: if you are looking for a rote Smash Bros...
