I stayed away from the first game due to the harsh reviews it was getting, but it seems that the developers are now fixing the mistakes they made with the first game (or at least they've figured out a way of adding a four-player mode this time).

A GBA version will also be availble:

I have been avoiding looking at this game based on the ho-hum first game, but your subtitle mentioning four-player mode has me interested.
If that's in it, and the damn turtles learn to STFU this time, this should be a fun rental or cheaper purchase for the multiplayer.
Cowabunga.

Yeah, the thought of all 4 Turtles saying the same catchphrases over and over makes me weary.
As bad as the last game was, why the fuck would they think I'd be willing to buy another?
The only way they'll sell this to me is if they include the two arcade games in it.
The first one is not so great, so I'm leery of part 2. TMNT3D 1 suffers a major case of Gex Repetitive Voice Syndrome so bad it ruins the game. If I have to hear that damned "Slice & Dice!!!!" one more time, I'll go Heidern on someone. :yuck:
How does a TMNT Tournament Fighters 2004 sound? I'd go for that.

Developed for the PlayStation® 2 computer entertainment system, the Xbox® video game system from Microsoft, Nintendo GameCube™, Nintendo Game Boy® Advance and PC CD-ROM, TMNT 2 features an-all new experience in the form of four-player cooperative play - a trademark of the legendary arcade games and a first for the next-generation franchise.
"The incredible appeal and popularity of the Ninja Turtles transcends generations, thanks to the current re-launch of the franchise and the mass appeal of the original series," said Erica Mason, product manager, Konami Digital Entertainment - America. "With Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, our team has been able to create a hugely entertaining game that recreates the excitement of the renowned series through four-player cooperative gameplay which will excite both younger and older fans of the beloved franchise."
Featuring a non-linear story structure requiring more skill based play, TMNT 2 is guaranteed to offer gamers a varied and exciting gameplay experience. Complete with voice-overs from the popular TMNT animated TV series on the FoxBox, TMNT 2 allows gamers to play as Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael, each with distinct characteristics and abilities. Players will need to kick, punch and slice their way past Foot Ninjas and the turtles' archenemy, The Shredder, in two exciting game modes - Story and Battle Nexus. The four-player cooperative Story Mode is based on the FoxBox's TMNT Season 2, with individual player's performance and selection affecting the story line. The Battle Nexus Mode offers slick head-to-head action. Additionally, as an added bonus for older, more nostalgic fans, the console versions provide the ability to unlock one of the classic TMNT arcade-games.
Very frickin' cool!
This looked like shit today.
FYI.
As far as the second day of E3 goes, this prob was the least played game of the entire show(Didn't go to the NGage area though). VFQuest and Spikeout owned it for free.
I don't care if the game is $60 and requires purchase of a special wallet-rape controller, this shit will be mine.Quote:

But, I thought Konami said today's hardware isn't powerful enough to handle 4-players...
Only one of the classic arcade games?
Make it both and I'll consider it.
Sorry if this was mentioned already. For some reason I was reading the preview of TMNT 2 in the newest GI or Play(can't remember which one) and in there it talks about the old arcade game to be hidden on there. I don't know about you, but that sounds kick ass to me.
4 player TMNT and TMNT: Turtles in Time would be a first for consoles. Honestly, I would buy the game just for those two arcade ports, regardless of the quality of the new TMNT rendition.Quote:

Hell, I would pay $50 for a compilation of the arcade TMNT1 & 2 games.
Since the last TMNT game was so poor, the only way Konami could ensure a sequel sells well is to include the classics. How about a TMNT game anthology similar to Mega Man Collection?
