Ubisoft wants to make two things abundantly clear — this game is being made by the same people behind Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and they are consulting the original, gritty comics for inspiration.
Awesome! Radical! Righteous! Bossa Nova…Chevy Nova, maybe?
The publisher has released the first trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash-Up, the upcoming Wii fighter featuring the heroes in a half-shell, in a bodacious PDF comic on the game’s official Web site.
As with any Turtles project, Smash-Up is being closely supervised by the fathers of the franchise. Co-creator Peter Laird is writing a story for the single-player mode, while Laird and Kevin Eastman’s Mirage Studios, the original comic’s publisher, is shaping the roster.
Only the Turtles and Splinter are confirmed so far, dudes.
it looks cool…
HOWEVER
that fighting sequence looks so… so like an old star wars lightsaver duel. You know, where the dudes moved all slow and dynamic was a myth.
I wonder if that's how the actual fighting is going to be like, because to be honest there are a lot of different moves that they are pulling off, either someone really did their programming job correctly, or that was just a cgi video, either way i can't wait to play it
Real footage instead of a pointless FMV next time kthxbye.
I was hoping to see real footage. The character selection screen looks like it was ingame, but soon as they fought it was just trailer footage. Hopefully the gameplay isn't like this footage either… it seems kind of slow.
I've read up on this game and I must say, this trailer is not very indicative of the actual gameplay.
It's a 2D fighter like SSB. Nothing like this.
Either way, this is one of the titles I'm keeping a VERY close eye on, as a turtles fan, a fighter fan, and a Wii fan. So far so good.
; )
Oh and extra points for an actual Laird comic strip on the website!
looks good, considerme sold IF the game have some hitstun like ssb64
