Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed Is Bringing The Mayhem To Switch

These are not my Turtles!!

• Storms off with his walking cane *

Highly doubt it can ever top Shredder's Revenge. The movie was surprisingly good though. Can recommend, no diggity.

The characters design looks goofy compared to the konami 2D classic games and shredder's revenge 😕

@Daniel36 LMAO I'm 40 and really enjoyed the movie. All the animated movies have been really solid, the vs Batman one is insanely good. Where the only half decent live action is the original 90s one, I do laugh when people claim it's the best. Rose tinted Nostalgia glasses much? As for the Michael Bay produced films, I couldn't even watch the 2nd the first one was that awful.

Look what they did to our boys...

Oh, another games by Outright Games ?? 😀
I personally don't really like that much the movie 2023 version but I hope the video game version can deliver something decent for me.

I love these turtles. I don't care what everyone else says.

This game will probably suck.

The movie was okay. The art style looked good in stills but was jarring in motion. Interested in this for the co-op.

I'm always in for a great Turtles game. I loved Shredders revenge, really made me feel like a 90's kid again. But seeing that outright games is making this game, I'm going to skip this one.

For the peoples who don't like Outright Games, remember they are the publisher, not the developer.
There are some kids games published by Outright Games from quite nailed, so-so to mediocre but they are still acceptable to play, depend on the developers.
I gave my trust to Outright Games as they still provide a lot of kids games from kids franchises, something like during early 2000's era.
I accept their games quality even the mediocre one because I don't need AAA games to make me happy.
So whenever I found another new games by Outright Games, as long I still acquaintance with the franchise, I will give it a try.

Paw Patrol games
PJ Masks
Jojo Siwa
Transformers
My Little Pony
DreamWorks Dragons
Ryan games
Etc.
I pick these games.
Who's next ?

@HotGoomba Enjoy what you enjoy. As a 90's kid, I don't complain about old franchises going in new directions.

For the most part, the purpose is to appeal to a newer generation who's never got to experience x growing up.

I watched the trailer for the film, because I liked the art style, and I love ninja turtles, then one of the turtles mentioned gogurt, and I remembered that art was dead in the mainstream media.

The visuals capture the film's artstyle pretty well, at least in still images.

It's weird that there's an MSRP before a trailer.

2-players? Two? Not 4? It's a freaking TMNT brawler/beat 'em up, how can you not include the ability for all 4 turtles to fight together?

Ugh....whatever.

@Anti-Matter Amen my friend!

Sure their games aren't the "best of the best" but as entry level games for kids they are perfectly playable games! Me and my son have spent many a countless hour playing through their games together. And I don't know about anyone else, but being able to spend that time with him is more valuable to me than some nonsensical quandary such as who developed the game we're playing together

I get that Paramount is essentially playing Outright and GameMill against each other as directly as possible, but GameMill just using a Raw Thrills port seems like cheating.

Only 2-Players co-op, what year is it 1985? No it's 2024, the original TMNT arcade game in 1989 had 4-player co-op, you mean to tell me a TMNT game in 2024 can't handle 4-Players co-op unlike the 1989 one? This is just lazy for the sake of being lazy and lazy wants $40? Yeah how bout no.

The graphics suit the game better than the movie. Not sure why they went with that art style for the movie? Not a fan.

"Based on the 2023 movie"

and I'm out.

Fun movie. Hope the game is just as good, and fun to play.

Looks nice. I am not overly attached to the franchise beyond the early comic and the live action movie phase (including the live action tv show) but turtles games are usually good enough for some mindless fun. I will likely get this eventually. Still need to watch the movie though.

Doesn't look good... hope I'm wrong.

I loved the movie and while the publisher gives me pause about the game, I'm still cautiously looking forward to it.

2-player?! Last time I checked there was 4 turtles not 2.

Kind of a shame we never got a game based on Rise, I quite liked that version.

Nickelodeon is really committed to making this the next big version of the TMNTs. They promote this version much more than they did with Rise of the TMNT. Personally, I can't do anything with it. After watching the film, I think the Ninja Turtles just aren't what they used to be. Splinter is now bizarre and strange, April is chubby and African-American (presumably lesbian), Casey Jones (at least in Rise of the TMNT) is a woman, and who knows what they plan to do with Shredder.

Haven’t seen Mutant Mayhem yet. I was a huge tmnt fan for a few years as a child,but i checked out when the animated t.v. show started, as it was too much of a departure from the original comics.
There aren’t a lot of good Turtles movies. Well there’s one, unless i end up liking Mutant Mayhem.
Also, i think most of the Turtles games are exceptionally bad, barring the SNES Tournament Fighters, the original arcade game and its sequel, and (of course) the excellent, Shredder’s Revenge.
While my taste in Turtles-related media is quite honed, i’m willing to try about any game.

This is the kind of game I definitely need a review for before even thinking about buying.

The movie was... Ok. I'll remain cautiously optimistic on this one until I see more, but the screenshots look promising.
My issue is with movies based on stories from other media constantly starting from the origin story over and over again with a different spin on it each time. We don't need to keep reinventing the Ninja Turtles, or Batman, or Spider-man, etc.
We can enjoy a good story without being shown how the characters got to be where they are each time. I also refuse to believe that characters need to use the current slang to be appealing to kids. If anything, it just dates the movie and makes the older audience roll their eyes, because the popular slang moves so fast these days thanks to the internet, that we all know that these movies will feel painfully dated in just a few years.

Don't get upset - it could've been any other show, movie, comic, etc. and it'd still suck. 'Outright Games' is like the modern LJN logo on a kids games.

Man, I wish TMNT would go back to its grittier roots from the Mirage Comics era. I just read the original collection and those were so full of creativity and great story telling. They need to stop trying to reinvent the wheel and just go with what made them awesome in the first place. Also, I highly recommend reading the Last Ronin to any TMNT fan, its a fantastic modern story

It seems TMNT have been on a resurgence as of late, well deserved in my opinion. Will grab this one depending on how it rates

@Anti-Matter I was forced to play the Paw Patrol Games and the latest Pony game for my 2yo who's too young to play herself but likes to watch the action. The terrible visuals I could excuse but the voice acting? Oh. My. Lord! A single voice actor who does the voice for Ryder and that's it? There's nothing else. Not even some stock sounds for the pups barking. It's so cheaply and lazily made I find it borderline offensive, especially considering the franchise is raking in millions every day, yet they cut corners anywhere they can. The only saving grace was the fact I didn't have to pay for this trash, it's free on PS+ - and I still felt ripped off. If the TMNT game will be anything like those other ones, it's a hard pass from me.

@flighty We get so many origins movies because the studios hope there's gonna be an entire series set in that continuity. And when the first movie bombs, they just can the series, then try it slightly differently again and again and again...

@Ursaking
The games by Outright Games are NOT trash in my opinion.
I played Paw Patrol games, My Little Pony, Transformers Earthspark, Transformers Battlegrounds, DreamWorks Dragons, Crayola Scoot, etc on PS4 / PS5 and I quite enjoyed the games despite I knew the flaws from those games.

Mutant Mayhem was decent but I can't say I'm a big fan of it far as animated TMNT movies goes.

As for this tie-in game, I need to see a trailer first but I'm being very cautious considering the publisher here.
Doesn't help that the game is 2-player only in co-op. Seriously, whats up with that?

The movie was so DAMN good!

I like the style, but that's probably all...

@Anti-Matter More power to you, man! I'm guilty of enjoying some less than stellar games myself. The Paw Patrol games in particular just annoyed me with how cheaply made they are. Parents like me throw money at the franchise buying merch and toys for our kids, so it would be nice to get a game that looks and sounds like current gen. They sure as heck can afford it.

@The_Blue_Mage The 2003 cartoon series was pretty faithful to the original comics, as long as you didn't mind that they made Shredder an Utrom.

As for me, I grew up on '87 series, so I have a soft spot for it, but I do recognize that it has some significant flaws in hindsight. I think the 2012 series did the best job of combining the seriousness of the original comics with the lightheartedness of the '87 series along with great storytelling and fighting choreography.

As for movies, it still doesn't get any better than the first two live action flicks for me. Yeah, it sucks that their weapons were mostly ornamental in the 2nd film, but I think "Secret of the Ooze" has a better story (and an awesome cameo from Vanilla Ice). The 3rd one was of course pretty mediocre. I liked "TMNT" quite a bit. "Mutant Mayhem" was OK, but there were a number of things that bugged me (literally in the case of Superfly), and I don't like the art style or the weird occasional art shifts they used. I never bothered to see the Michael Bay duology.
