Anyone who is a fan of the classic beat-em-up Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles In Time will be happy with the latest announcement of Shredder's Revenge. The new title in the franchise is heavily inspired by the fan favourite game and is coming to consoles later this year.
Rendered in beautiful pixel art form based on their original 1987 design, the four heroes will battle against hordes of enemies in an attempt to thwart the iconic villain Shredder. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is being worked on by Dotemu, the team behind the critically acclaimed Streets of Rage 4 from last year. Assisting them is Tribute Games, which consists of talent from developers who have worked on titles such as Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game. It seems like this is in the right hands.
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge reunites Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello to kick shell in a beautifully realized pixel art world invoking the turtles’ classic 1987 design. Today’s announcement trailer perfectly encapsulates the Heroes in a Half-Shell’s rambunctious attitude as they leap and bash their way across Manhattan to a thumping rendition of their signature anthem belted out by Faith No More’s Mike Patton."
"With Bebop and Rocksteady amassing gizmos to support Krang and Shredder’s latest scheme, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge finds the turtles battling through a breathless tour of iconic TMNT locations to thwart their nemeses’ most diabolical plan yet. Armed with shell-shocking new abilities built on a foundation of classic brawling mechanics, the gang are in for an exhilarating, Foot Clan-stomping romp leading them through the sewers and bustling boroughs of New York City all the way to Dimension X."
The art style looks absolutely stunning and if last year's Streets of Rage 4 is anything to go by, this is going to be a fantastic continuation of the formula the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle games crafted. At the same time, it's looking to be a great entry point for new fans to dive into and embody their favourite heroes. There's no confirmed release date, but we'll be sure to keep you updated as soon as we know.

So stoked for this!
I feel like I should buy this game on Switch (if it comes to Switch). It just has that "belongs on Switch" feel to it.
If not, Xbox it is!
Either way, can't wait!
Ooooo I hope it's good! Such nostalgia for this
Always felt like this would be worthy of a modern reboot all SoR4 and BattleToads. Looks really appealing.
Sold. Insta buy day one.
Hoping on character development like in River City Girls too
Do we know if it has online multiplayer? Battletoads unfortunately did not - no online, no buy. Otherwise this is incredible.
Also, I LOVE that Mike Patton did the theme song. As a fan of (most of) his music, and having recently played through both of The Darkness games, this just reconfirms how incredibly awesome and talented that dude is.
I don't get on with these 2D brawlers, but people love those old TMNT games and Streets of Rage 4 seemed to go over well, so this seems like a perfect match.
@everynowandben Battletoads and River City Girls BOTH needed online co-op so badly. I know "couch co-op" is hype but (especially now) that isn't always possible. It feels like leaving it out is an awful trend in beat 'em ups.
@everynowandben That is the most ridiculous this i have ever heard. You are going to sit there and actually tell people that if there is no online, you wont play a game? I know that is your personal opinion and you are entitled to it, but i am the complete opposite. If a game is online only or is in the vein of Anthem where you need to connect to a party to play and enjoy the game, then count me out. I prefer to play games alone and at my own pace.
@OliverOwen Dude, it's a beat em up. Those types of games are MUCH more fun co-op. My gaming friends live 45 minutes away and we're currently in a pandemic.
What we did play: Streets of Rage 4.
What we did not play: Battletoads.
Reason: Online co-op vs couch co-op
I am not going to get excited till I have actually played this game. I have been disappointed by every other TMNT game to come out after the NEW/SNES era.
@Zochmenos I know how you feel. I feel the same way with couch co-op. There is no excuse not to include both online and couch in this day and age.
@Tasuki Gets me heated that we get "throw back" experiences that don't take into account that adults can't couch it quite like when we were middle-schoolers, lol. I feel the same way about the Lego stuff.
It bothers me the sprit works isn't a good as SOR4, but I'm sure the gameplay will be good.
@GamingFan4Lyf dude I’m with you!
First streets of Rage 4, then Battletoads and now this?? This last year has brought me back to the good ol 90s in so many awesome ways.
I’m so in. I can’t wait to play this with my son.
@everynowandben Either way, i prefer to play alone. I am glad you have friends you game with. I think that is a great thing. I just like to play games by myself. If the computer can control 3 of the characters, that would be awesome. if i could switch between them at any time, that would be awesome. If not, no big deal.
@Zochmenos Right and I feel the same way when they don't included it. Some people can't play online for whatever reason but as I said in this day and age makes no sense why they don't include both.
@OliverOwen You actually want the same thing; to be able to play the way you prefer. I dig the solo grind sometimes myself.
@OliverOwen So you're saying that if it was multiplayer only, and you could not play single-player at all, you'd still buy the game?
Day one buy on all systems it releases on. I have confidence Dotemu will be the ones to finally get TMNT right for the first time since the 16-bit era.
@everynowandben Not in the least bit. If it were multiplayer only and I could not play by myself, then I would not purchase nor play the game.
@OliverOwen Okay, so let me get this straight: In your opinion, it's okay for you to not buy the game if you can't play the way you want to, but it's "the most ridiculous" thing you've ever heard for me to not buy the game if I can't play the way I want to? Interesting.
Hopefully you can see the hypocrisy of your judgment and the internal inconsistency of your position, and think twice before you attack next time.
