Looks cool and anything that harkens back to classic Konami beat-em-ups is great, but I wish they'd innovate more with the move set instead of "mash A for combo". The turtles have enough moves across all of the medium where you could realistically have quite a big move list for each one.

[Nitsuki]

You’d be pretty amazed with some of the more simple games with 1 button attacks can get. Final Fight 1 back then in the arcade had that spin combo cancel so you can continue attacking with the first attack thus not forcing recovery frames on you and whatnot. On the other end, the Konami turtles games had pretty good movesets like 3 different jump attacks, and even the dash attacks, so it isn’t too bad, there’s depth, but simple depth can also be learning and dealing with enemy behavior etc.

I do agree with you tho, i love me some Streets of Rage, and the unique movesets added to a lot of fun. This game is looking to be a banger for a couple hours of entertainment.

[Lucavi]

Yeah I'll be picking this one up, fo'sho. I just want a fat moveset. Hell, even the old Kunio games on the NES had a pretty big roster of moves you could do with nothing but the ol' Dpad.

I just don't want the genre to worship at the shrine of "Turtles in Time". That game is amazing, but it could be improved upon! We shouldn't be satisfied just with paying a great homage to it. Make the genre even better. The turtles have a lot of meat on the bone, no pun intended.

[Nitsuki]

Shit man, i’ll just be happy with the devs/publisher not pulling stupid shit on the pc version like Denuvo DRM or Epic game store exclusivity forcing me to get a console version lol.

[Guitarman]

I'm stoked. I'm tired of the newer jacked up versions of the turtles that's been used in recent games/media. I love me some 90's konami style art. This could've looked way worse. See: recent battletoads. This is easy day 1.

[AoE]

Some of my people are picking this up so maybe you guys'll see me on there too!

[Anoat]

This looks like fun, let’s get a BG turtles squad going

[Lucavi]

I'll be there.

[Melena]

Looks like I'll be picking this up. Yay for having a fight stick so I can get the old school arcade feel.

[Nitsuki]

Hell man, i used my arcade stick to play Hades, shit was fire.

[Moridam]

i absolutely was not expecting the mike patton appearance, lol

[6souls]

[Ratatapa]

That trailer was less hyped then the OG one lol

[Lucavi]

This game desperately needs upgradeable or purchasable moves. If its a moveset 6 attacks deep, its going to run dry very, very quickly.

Hopefully they (and other beat-em-ups) take inspiration from the Kunio series and include a large pool of moves that you grow into.

[Guitarman]

Game needs a release date, man. Dying to play. It keeps looking better and better. Also whats the over/under Casey Jones is revealed next?

[Fiendishone]

I agree, game needs a release date now.
Looking forward to playing this with the kids.
