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.
