You can't really call Saito better than Kamiya when Saito's best game is the second iteration (after Bayo 2) of a Kamiya combat system with a basically non-existent campaign. Like, come on.
MGR was really good tho.

Hope the art style is based on a comic variation or the current Nick show. I can't see the round looking early cartoon turtles working as anything but sprites.
Hope the music is top notch.

Which is another reason why I'm glad they seem to be going with something more along the lines of IDW.
The 2014 and Nick Turtles already have the stench of shovelware attached to them. And another 80s throwback would mainly attract those who really can't let those turtles go.
A new game, that pretty much is a standalone product that can become its own thing, separate from every other TMNT medium (not unlike how Batman Arkham is to the rest of Batman), would be what I imagine to be the most ideal.
And like with Arkham, skins could always be an option.

I believe both Korra and Devastation had bonus skins (Though the latter is DLC), so yeah, I'd say the chances for that are high.
The IDW series is awesome, I hope they are close to that.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
It is wise to remember Saito was lead programmer on Bayonetta.
I also enjoyed Rising and Transformers more than I did Bayonetta 2. Saito is the special sauce.
So what do we have coming up?
Star Fox Zero (Nintendo)
Scalebound (Microsoft)
Nier Automata (Square-Enix)
TMNT Mutants in Manhattan (Activision/Nickelodeon)
Project Guard (Nintendo)
Platinum getting work!
Also, reminder that they do not own any of the games they make. Sega owns Bayonetta & Vanquish, Nintendo owns W101, Konami owns Revengeance, and Activision/Hasbro owns Transformers Devastation

I guess this is yet another game to add to my wish list. This has potential to be something special.

Had no idea they are on Project Guard. Any more about this?
Even though I complained earlier about not really being excited about this current batch of games, I am very happy they are getting plenty of work.

huh this might be the first time I'm interested in a Platinum title in awhile, i do wonder what style they will be going with. any style would be fine in my book besides the 80s cartoon, hopefully that's not the case

Wow, that's pretty interesting, thanks. Somehow didn't know that despite being a pretty big Star Fox/Nintendo/Platinum stan.

I know the lore. All I need is gameplay. Rocksteady would make a game I'd play once. Platinum will give me one I'll play for years.
I miss Treasure...
We're never getting Gaist Crusher are we?
I shouldn't say that. We're getting Dragon Quest VII, we might get it eventually. ... On NX Handheld.
That's like the opposite of true.
Lore is always fun for those of us that don't know it, easter eggs and all. Rocksteady I feel would do the property more justice in that regard.
Platinum is no slouch when it comes to character action though. Day one!
Korra and Transformers are cool and I own them both but their a little lite in the ass.

Oh my gaaaaaaaaaaaawd!
Please, please please, use the same art as the opening form the original animated series. If Transformers could so can 80's TMNT.
Cash in that nostalgia and make a great game out of it.
The majority of people will not give a damn for the comic artstyle (wouldnt mind this one, but I certainly prefer the animated series), nor the 2000, nor the movies, nor the CGI.
This is the best design the turtles had. Perfect mix of fun charisma and coolness. I always found the original comics too much.

This.
As long as the gameplay is good (which I have no doubt), anything else is just gravy.
Turtles in Time does not hold up. Go play it now. It's quite simply one of the most boring side scrolling beat em ups I've played. It was fun when I was like 12, but compared to anything used to playing today it's sad.
I play it all the time. Definitely holds up. Better than most modern beatemups for sure.

that's nice, but it has nothing to do with anything and does not make me less sick of a combat engine that has only gotten more stripped down with each "iteration" since its first game 6 years ago.
Expected a lot more from Platinum when it comes to character action games. now it seems like they put them together like Ikea Furniture. oh and that loot system in transformers ololol
i'll believe it's a real effort when I see it.
They're a smart business. They know there's a sizable overlap of people that love Platinum games and the licenses they've picked. From there, word of mouth spreads about there finally being a good *insert license here* game.

Dream game. Been dreaming of this for months developed by Platinum.
Yeah it does. Single player and co-op. The graphics are still great, the soundtrack is much better than anything UBI or later Konami did with the franchise after SNES/Genesis (Hyperstone Heist fall in with TiT), and its nice for a quick playthrough every so often.
Too bad the combat system that Arkham games set that other games copied leading to the mechanics being over used.
But the dual play mechanic in Arkham Knight was Rocksteady teasing us how they would handle a TMNT game.
That mechanic alonecwould let you play all four Turtles in a footclan brawl, seamlessly switching from Turtle to Turtle.
Still holds up. Still like playing it, especially with a friend.

Arcade version? Yeah, you're right. SNES version still holds up decently enough though, and this is coming from someone who played through the entirety of it with some friends a few weeks back.
So an official announcement is just around the corner then
. I wonder if we are going to see an official trailer of the game around the PSX or something.Host Samurai

Would be epic of its based off the 80's Turtles, but wouldn't complain if it's based off the new show as its really good. I mostly want it based off the 80's series just so we can get some nice cell shading.
Thinking about the old TMNT games, they were all mostly based off the 80s cartoon but also added elements from the movies like Toka, Razhar, Tetsu & Super Shredder

P* has done pretty well in this regard too, just not in a way that has to be right in your face all the time.
In-game lore database that tells you everything you need to know about the game's cast, enemies and even locations. Little trivia bits that you can read at any time. The Bayonettas and even TF
ev had everything you needed in that respect.Now that would be damn cool!
