I hope they make it play similar to TNMT Tournament Fighters (SNES).

Dear lord, why?

[Goufunaki]

Re: TMNT Smash Up

Because as a fan of fighting games, Tournament Fighters was one of my favorite 2D games.

Re: TMNT Smash Up

Because the Ninja Turtles are awesome.

Re: TMNT Smash Up

If it's got a co-op mode, then I am all for it.

But the guys that did Smash combined with Team Ninja? That's, like, oil and vinegar. I guess as long as the Ninteno guys are around to actually PLAYTEST the thing.

Peter Laird being on board is pretty cool, too.

Re: TMNT Smash Up

Why waste these guys on ninja turtles?

YEAH GIVE US SMASH BROS. BRAWL WITH MEGA MAN AND PHOENIX WRIGHT AND/OR KYLE HYDE

Re: TMNT Smash Up

I would hope that the team ninja guys don't include DoA's incredibly cheap AI and reversal system. Even on the easiest mode for DoA4, the AI constantly spams the reversals.

Keep shaking and mixing oil and vinegar and it stays combine for short periods of time! The more you mix it, the longer it stays!

Re: TMNT Smash Up

Yeah, I just made a vinaigrette earlier this evening.

I hope we can find a jar big enough for all these programmers.

Re: TMNT Smash Up

I'm envisioning this as a Brawl clone with the possibility for Playmates action figure era insanity.

Re: TMNT Smash Up

Well the one memory I have of tournament fighters is the characters. You had the turtles and shredder yes. Then you had a street shark, some girl and a guy named wingnut (whoo I rocked the house with).
