Here's a pleasant surprise on a dreary Wednesday afternoon. Publisher Dotemu has announced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, a retro-style beat-'em-up coming to consoles. Clearly inspired by the classic Turtles in Time, this brand new game is a four-player side-scroller starring you as the titular turtles.
It's in development at Tribute Games, the team behind Flinthook and Mercenary Kings. Apparently, some staff previously worked on the much-loved Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game, too. This new title features pixelated visuals, all kinds of "shell-shocking" abilities, and a whistle-stop tour of "iconic TMNT locations".
There's little info right now, but at least we have the rocking announcement trailer, which you can view above. This should be great fun — hopefully it isn't too far away. There's no release date or confirmed platforms yet, but this will almost certainly appear on PlayStation 5, PS4, or both.

Sweet vinegar covered arcade cabinets.
I can almost smell the old chippy we used to play Turtles in back in the day.
My games wishlist grows longer by the week.
Looks like a true successor to the TMNT SNES game back then. Loved it!
This looks awesome!
I l💛ve beat em up..i remember playing teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the arcade here in queens new york.and sega genesis one is amazing as well.definetly buying this.word up son
looks pretty cool, will this be £69.99?
I'll have some of that please thank you.
Oh man, the memories of playing TMNT with 3 mates in the arcades back in the day.
Good old arcade beat 'em up style
Man I'm gonna be all over that!!
Wow, looks sweet. Glad to see the classic look instead of what happened with "Turtles in Time Re-Shelled".
Looks really good. Brings back the good old days.
Looks JAWSOME! (sorry, wrong retro kid's cartoon...) but, to gleam from the visuals, this very much looks like they're still in their 'hero', rather than ninja, phase to me... 😉
This looks great! I recently went through Streets of Rage 4 and it reinforced for me just how timeless the beat em up is.
Unbelievable to think that back in the late 80's our (UK) censors thought that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were too violent for our fragile minds and so it was renamed Teenage Mutant 'Hero' Turtles.
Scary times.
@Jimmer-jammer Spot on.
SOR4 is superb.
Can’t wait for this!
This is a remake of a gba turtle game.
Glad it doesn't look as bad as the new battletoads game.
Totally Awesome....but is Konami cool with this? I swear it's a spitting image of their Turtles arcade game.
@playstation1995
Queens resident here too!
I'm good for another shot at a TMNT game, but did it have to be in the 80's toon style? Why not base it on the modern comics?
This is great, day one for me. I prefer if it's using street of rage 4 art style since it's gorgeous, but 2D sprite like this is fine too
@SovereignFiber. Haha.no doubt queens nyc reign supreme.word up son
Too bad they didn’t use another art style but I’m still happy the haven’t forgotten the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Think I still have PTSD from playing the original 30 years ago lol! Will definitely give this a go with the kiddos, should be a great time!!
The theme tune is sung by the legend that is Mike Patton- makes it a day 1 purchase for me
I was a huge turtles fan back in the days. This looks like the old NES and SNES games, can't wait for this. Maybe it will make me feel like a kid again 😄
Day one freaking purchase for me.
Excellent! I can't wait for this. Time to share a slice of ice cream pepperoni pizza with Mikey. Turtle Power!
“Tonight I dine on turtle soup!”
Looks good, but I wish it looked more like Streets of Rage 4.
Please come to PS4! My wallet is REGGIE!
Looking forward to this - let’s hope there’s online multiplayer.
@hypnotoad Yep, and Ninja Gaiden as Shadow Warriors... At least we had 'The Last Ninja' games on the C64!
Still have my Megadrive copy of Hyperstone Heist (and Fall of the Foot Clan on Game Boy)! This looks a bit like a GBA game. My PS4 has given up sadly, so cant pick this up until I can hopefully find a PS5, at some point.
So if this comes out on ps5 and PS4 I have to decide whether to buy on the latest console or run in backwards compatibility so all my family can play using the multiple ds4s we have. They really should allow you to use those with ps5 games if you want.
Yessssss so excited for this
Wow that took me back. Nostalgia overload!
Will probably grab this just for the memories...
(has involuntary NES flashbacks)
The last bunch of attempts to bring TMNT back since the early 00s have ranged from average to completely terrible, but this one I'm hyped for. These people made Streets of Rage 4, so I'm giving the benefit of the doubt, this may be the last hope for a good, old-school style TMNT game.
Seems really awesome, but will get this for Switch instead, just seems way more fitting for that system and more the type of game I'd play on the go and not on my TV.
Looks very like the classic arcade game, which i love to this day so this will l on my buy list!
@hypnotoad
I Remember that, here in Ireland we got the first season unedited but after that RTE (the Irish national TV broadcaster) got the hero turtles version also many of the UK channels are available here, and channels such as BBC 1, sky 1 & the now (sadly) defunct Children's Channel showed it!
@Ristar24 Great shout on the last ninja on the c64, loved that game
@J2theEzzo Street Sharks! LOL. I was just going over all the old shows (TMNT, Street Sharks, Tiger Sharks, Stone Protectors, etc) and my buddies didn’t remember any of them other than TMNT.
@Deljo Yep, Last Ninja was an amazing game at the time, great atmosphere and that first stage music by the late, great, Ben Daglish. The jumps over the river were a bit frustrating, but I finally beat the game recently with some save states.
Last Ninja 2 is just as good, its my favouite in the series.
Another turtles into my collection. ☺️ Looking forward.
that looks totally respctable! passionate, indi teams are doing much better work than the konami studios during the ps2 era.
@Ristar24 Oh yes,I remember "Shadow Warriors" on the amiga!👍 Not the only ones to get renamed,Dynablaster aka Bomberman,or Gryzor aka Contra on C64! Yep, Last Ninja's 1 & 2 were classics,Matt Gray's soundtracks in LN2 were sublime too!😊
Back on topic,will have some big shoes to fill to top the Konami TMNT arcade game,but encouraged to hear there could be some Scott Pilgrim devs behind it,also being published by Dotemu who backed Lizardcube's SOR4. so will be keeping an eye out on this!👍
@AhmadSumadi don't forget bikermice from Mars!
Could be a sign what the new animated series will look like.
@GKO900 @Deadhunter Same here sadly, not interested in a TMNT game unless it's 3D and somewhat open.
@Rash BlackNerdAndre was speculating on YouTube that the game's opening could be a silent demo to test and see if people would want an animated series like that.
However I don't think Nickelodeon has canceled Rise of TMNT yet? We still have that Netflix movie dropping in 2021.
@KidBoruto Is it a Netflix movie or new series, created by Seth Rogen's production? That's the one I was thinking about.
COWABUNGA says it all!
@Rash I'm talking about the Netflix exclusive Rise of TMNT movie, which will drop sometime in 2021.
It's a direct sequel that will continue where the Rise of TMNT series finale left off at.
