TMNT: Smash-Up Gets A Pair Of Raving Rabbids Cameos

@UltimatePancakeSensation: Well I'd kill for Usagi Yojimbo in there so two rabbits would be called for.

houser

I'm pretty sure no one wants rabbids in a Ninja Turtle game maybe if it was something else from Mirage studio's or something.

billysan

@(Zombie) Jolan: The fact that there is not just one, but two rabbids in the game makes my stomach turn. I want a Ninja Turtle experience! Rabbids just don't fit into that at all.

I'll just wait for Turtles in Time on my 360. Will be a lot better than this.

dgchatterbox

@BxB402: agreed on Aura thing.. and levels seem way to small. They should make a 1vs1 type Turtle fighting game like the old Tournment games.

dgchatterbox

@LunaEclDark: Considering its obvious that this game is based off the new cartoon series, having Usagi in it is not far fetched. They have a utrom in it which is from comics/new cartoon series. Figure if they have that they might add Usagi. Would be bad ass if they did

dgchatterbox

@Rhawb: This game is based off the new cartoon series.. which is a lot more accurate to the comic book series than the original cartoon series. No Bebop and Rocksteady, and no Krang. April does know how to fight in the new cartoon series.

dgchatterbox

@Josh Kulinski: The game seems to be based of the new series. There will be no Bebop and Rocksteady :(

dgchatterbox

@Steffanic: Now THIS is what I like to see. Someone who's more familiar with the older stuff, that is willing to take a chance on the newer stuff and Mirage canon. A breath of fresh air after page after page of people whining that their childhood has been "raped".

@Cragnous: He's already in the game.

2 Rabbits is too much, one seems like a good idea though.

April as a selectable character? Not fully surprised but maybe juts a little...

Where's my man Shredder?

Cragnous

I'm a bit disappointed in the Rabbids being shoehorned in what is supposed to be a 'TMNT 25th anniversary celebration' game. It isn't going to stop me from picking up a copy or two, though. Why doesn't Ubisoft just make an "UbiBrawl" game afterward? Make the roster up of stuff like Rayman, the Rabbids, Jade, The Prince, Altair, Ezio, the guy from Red Steel 2, Sam Fisher, and maybe for good measure, licensed characters Shredder and Ben Linus as the main villains.

@Keith Wright:
I know, right ? :)

Shin

Hahaha, that's awesome. I'm looking forward to getting this game, even though i didn't grow up with much interest in TMNT. I watched a couple of the movies, had some of the toys, not much. I always thought it was an awesome concept, so i like how they've introduced something outside of TMNT that i'm familiar with.

Steffanic

@Trizero: Of course, he's French! XD

Showmeyomoves!

gameplay looks better than I expected after seeing the horrible animated sequences released earlier
but ye the roster is quite disappointing

Bluetribal

@Samson Li:
I'm pretty sure it was taken at Paris Japan Expo last Weekend.

It's pretty freaky, I didn't go, but @42sec, I recognised 3 of my friends passing by o_O

It's the biggest anime convention in europe; they even had a comicon-thing at the same time, with the cast of BSG, etc

Shin

a WHOLE eleven characters. Way to almost stack up to Championship Edition...

@TF2Soldier914: I think it's more like most of the developers from Brawl are working on this.

@Comban: I'm now inclined to wonder what goes on in your head. It must be a very whimsical place. I'm a little jealous.

@TRT-X: I'd much rather have them here than in Brawl. TMNT was always pretty damned strange, to the point that virtually nothing feels really out of place.

That said, I don't think they needed two Rabbids. If it was between adding a Rabbid as an extra character or just having one less character, then cool, Rabbid is a neat cameo. But they don't need two.

I will go against the flow and say I think this game is going to be a blast and I think the rabbids are a cute distraction. Granted, I'd rather see Usagi Yojimbo, but here's holding out hope that he'll get his own game one day. I think Fable II would make a good template for a hack & slash ronin rabbit RPG...

@maverickuw: Some of the same developers from Smash Bros. are working on this.

@James Armstrong:
hell yeah that's how ya do it.

cowabunga to that good sir,
cowabunga to that and to all these bitches.

bableebooblah-new and improved.

I like how you assume that people who don't like Rayman didn't play 2 or 3. I found the Rayman games to be pretty forgettable affairs, even after playing "the great Rayman 2."

Ednaklikklak

Speaking of rabbids.....no USAGI no buy!

Keith Wright

@MetroRyushi:
Wow. I can't believe no one here likes Rayman. I tohught there were at least SOME people who actually played the great Rayman 2 and the almost as good Rayman 3. Seriously, the platformers are way better than a bunch of stupid mindless mini games IMHO. I want my REAL 3D Rayman game Ubisoft!

shahmastert

@Rozzlit: Wow man your post gave me flashbacks. Funny thing is I have all those toys stored away somewhere and i totally forgot they were all from the Ninja Turtles.

@Ednaklikklak: I also love the Rabbids and am glad they are distancing themselves from Rayman.

@awesomemonster: So there's your answer, a ton of people. Hell, at this point I'd wager more and more players are saying "Rayman who?"

@BubbleF**kingBuddy: Yeah, its not really an easter egg at all.. its more like an orangutan inserting pine nuts into a cross dressers anus.

Comban will Ban you.

The PIZZA gods are very angry with this one! Please developers, eat some mushrooms already!

SixGirls

@WoundedBum: I don't think so. One screams and the other can kill you. Oh well different strokes for different folks.

HELL YEAH. I was hoping that maybe the Rabbids could have a guest shot in the next Smash Bros., so this is great to see. :D I'll probably spend more time playing a Rabbid than anything else, lol. Well, maybe Donatello.

Ednaklikklak

I definitely enjoy the Rabbids a hell of a lot more than I've ever enjoyed Rayman. I'm glad they're getting their own Rayman-free game this year.

Ednaklikklak

@BlueRhino1134: Here, here. This is getting kind of shameless. Seems that in trying to distinguish this game from Brawl, they've only made it worse. Maybe they should have just re-skinned it after all.

SuperSonik

@RoboMudokon: Hah! It's like smash brothers as we've all been saying before, but with lame combos and no blocking, dodging or dying. Something tells me the strategy here is going to leave me wanting for my copy of brawl on the shelf. Oh, what I wouldn't do for some COMPETITION here in Syracuse!

SuperSonik

Yeah there better be a shit ton of characters in this game to warrant the wasting of two character slots to rabbids.

Bebop, Rocksteady, Usagi Yojimbo, Ace Duck, Armaggon, Leatherhead, Mondo Gecko, Genghis, Napoleon, I can go on.

Don't let me down Ubisoft, I'm looking forward to this game.

Rozzlit

Venus de Milo, pls.

@Bernoulli:
Yeah, she does. Read the comics.

@bableebooblah-new and improved.: Hello, I want to play a game. In the history of Mankind there has been Musical Pieces released so bad that they are used as a form of mental torture. Strapped to your Ears are a Pair of Headphones with the ability to transmit sound directly into your brain, You have preyed on the weakness of people by releasing this music to the public, now you will suffer the torment. Die or Dance, make your choice,

James Armstrong

@Jamesonite: The fact that they'll probably not have Usagi Yojimbo, and will have the damn rabbids infuriate's me.

This looks terrible and rabbids just make it even more undesirable.

@ScarletJew72: She did in TMNT Tournament Fighters as well, back in the day.

But I'm not sure we want to use that one as precedence.

spiderweb1986

@Jamesonite: Except no one knows about that character, and since this is from Ubisoft they can add those grand Rabbids in if they want.

LunaEclDark

@awesomemonster: I been a fan with those silly bunnies since the launch of the Wii. Never really cared for Rayman though. So in a way with this news, I might get TMNT Smash Up, but I will wait for a price drop as I already have SSBB.

LunaEclDark

I still want to get it looks fun. Rabbids may be out of place, but that adds to the whackyness to the game. Expectation arent high but passable. I want to give this a try.

What the F*#%? They're screwing this game up more and more every day.

@bableebooblah-new and improved.: Go Ninja Go Ninja GO!!!!!

@Bernoulli: she does in the movie TMNT, which the art direction for this game comes from

@Rhawb: Foot soldier, Shredder, and an Utrom in a suit that looks like Krang have already been confirmed.

@(Zombie) Jolan: I don't know I think the game looks pretty good. Sure the Rabbids may be a bit out of place but it still looks like a lot of fun.

Josh Faul

@MonsterKingRen: My expectations died when Ubisoft said they could use any art style for the game they wanted...and wouldn't be using the style of the latest turtles movie......but they fucking did anyway.

Turtles in Time here i come.

@awesomemonster: A better question might be "Does anybody really like Rayman?"

The worse is that out of ten characters so far, two are rabbids. But expectations for this game are low.

MonsterKingRen

@Rhawb: foot soldier already confirmed.

LuppyLuptonium

@awesomemonster: Seriously, the Rabbids are freaking better then Rayman.

MARl0

@awesomemonster: I love the little buggers.

@(Zombie) Jolan: Agreed. What do the Rabbids have to do with TMNT? Let alone TWO Rabbids?

If they wanted them in a Brawl type game...why not BRAWL!?

I love Ninja Turtles but this just looks stupid. Too much Aura...shoehorning in rabbids...and what the fuck...they said they have the license to make it unique or like any version of the turtles...yet they still use that stupid fucking look like the latest movie had.....yet tried to say they didn't. Fuck you, Ubisoft!

@awesomemonster: The Rabbids are a lot of fun. Certainly better than Rayman ever was.

@Rhawb: The Rabbids wouldn't have bothered me if there was one and it was a well hidden Easter Egg.

I don't know much about the Turtles aside from the cartoons, but there's a Krang-type character in the game. I forget his name.

@awesomemonster: I LOVE the rabbids.

@chemical_eng_mx: Yes!

swarmster

I think that if they HAD to put a Rabbid in here, at least make him dressed like a Foot soldier, or a turtle or something. I mean, come on.

BlueRhino1134

@Rhawb:

even though I have no interest in this game, I HOPE that's not april. She doesn't fight!

The only rabbit I want is Usagi Yojimbo.

Jamesonite

I REALLY hope that roster can be expanded. I can spot the 4 turtles, Splinter, and two characters that sort of look like April and Casey Jones respectively. Then they just start putting in Rabbids? What the hell?

As a HUGE Ninja Turtle fan, I can say that I won't be buying this game if those are all the available characters. Where are the Foot Soldiers, Shredder, Krang, Bebop, Rocksteady, etc? There so many great characters in that series that they should not be padding the roster with unrelated characters.

(Disregard this if the roster grows as you unlock characters a la the Smash Bros series)

@maverickuw: I hope so!

bangbangblah

if bebop and rocksteady get overlooked yet again in favor of two Rabbids I'll be bummed. I mean i can understand throwing in a single rabbid and giving him multiple costumes, but do we really need two?

Josh Kulinski

What the hell?
There's only room for one rabbit in that game, and that's Usagi Yojimbo!

chemical_eng_mx

@maverickuw: no wai....

@awesomemonster: *Pokes Rabbid with stick* DAAAAAAAAA! Meh, give me more of Eayman 1 anyday. That game was rock Hard but totally solid!

James Armstrong

@maverickuw: More like "Took Inspiration from". Gah! If only Nintendo would offer DLC I'm sure it would have been a lot easier to implement then this. Leonardo Vs Mario? Awesomeness!

James Armstrong

hey guys remember the "ninja turtle rap" in ninja turtles 2: the secret of the ooz?

i do.
and i declare that damn cutscene should be a trap in the saw movie series.

bableebooblah-new and improved.

When will we have a proper Rayman game again?

Does anyone really like the Rabbids?

Anyone?

awesomemonster

Is it me or is this Super Smash Brothers Brawl with turtles and rabbids?

maverickuw

There was a time when Easter eggs weren't discovered for months, and finding them was something special.

They didn't even try to hide this one.

I'd rather have rabies than Rabbids.

I wanna know what was going on with all the yelling and cheering in the background. I bet it was a lot more exciting than the focus of the video.

lol@Samson Li: SOunds more like a War Morale booster to me lol, I had trouble seeing the game :P

James Armstrong

This is a good example of how not to cross promote.

whats that voice in the background? apparently the crowd like what he's saying

oh yeah the rabbits, HOT DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMNN...!!!!!!!!

Samson Li

Oh man, that guy in the background is ALL about talking with his hands.
