Activision has announced a four-player co-op, side-scrolling brawler based on Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TV show. Developed by Magic Pockets and titled simply Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the game is coming to Xbox 360, Wii, and 3DS “later this year.”
Earlier this year, Activision revealed it would release a trio of TMNT games. This marks the second of the year, following August’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Rooftop Run – ($1.99)

Nickelodeon has revealed that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fanatics worldwide will be able to get their hands on a new TMNT mobile game tomorrow, April 18. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Rooftop Run offers a tubular take on the endless runner genre. Gamers play as all four turtles (plus a few special characters) as they dispatch ninjas and other enemies across the New York City skyline.
Take a look at the game’s traler and motion-comic intro:
Gameplay details, straight from Nick:
In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Rooftop Run, players assume the role of their favorite Turtle as they outrun the Kraang’s tractor beam, battling enemies with Ninjutsu combat along the way. As enemies are defeated, players earn coins that can be redeemed for awesome power ups, weapons and gear. Collecting energy orbs fills the player’s Energy Meter and keeps the Kraang away. Once the Energy Meter is filled,players enter “Turtle Time” – a special combat mode where game play is zoomed in and slowed down, and players must tap in rapid succession, striking multiple enemies simultaneously in a thrilling fight sequence to increase coin collection.

LEGO City Undercover makes its way to Wii U on March 18. However, if you’re planning on downloading the game from Nintendo’s eShop, there’s something you should know – the game requires that your Wii U has an external hard drive.
Nintendo has provided no official explanation for why the game would require an accessory to be downloaded, or if it has simply not clarified between Basic and Deluxe systems, but we have asked for comment and details. In the meantime, check out our LEGO City Undercover review for more information on the game.

The co-creator of TMNT is not a fan of the casting of Megan Fox as April O’Neil in producer Michael Bay‘s upcoming Ninja Turtles reboot.
In a post on his blog, Peter Laird wrote:
“My only exposure to Megan Fox as an actress is through her role in two Transformers movies and the wretched (but happily forgettable) Jennifer’s Body. It may not be fair to judge her range of acting skills just from those three movies, but I think it is safe to say that there are probably hundreds of better choices for the role of April O’Neil. Of course, her name has promotional value, and maybe that’s what they want. Who knows? I can’t get myself too worked up about it.”

Activision and Redfly’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, will release on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network this summer.
Out of the Shadows is a four-player online co-op brawler with a “skill-based combat system built around combo-driven action.” That could mean anything, but the concept is nice, especially after the Turtles in Time remake proved that simplistic combat doesn’t do the trick anymore.
Out of the Shadows is not based on Nickelodeon’s ongoing, excellent animated series, but exists in its own “hyper realistic 3D-style” world inspired by the show. For a clearer look at what that means, check out these images of Raphael, Donatello, Michaelangelo, and Leonardo below.
Michael Bay, who is producing the live-action reintroduction of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (called simply Ninja Turtles), has posted the following short message on his website today:
TMNT: we are bringing Megan Fox back into the family!
Michael Bay
Fox, of course, starred in the first two Transformers films for Bay before they had a public falling out and she left the franchise. But all seems forgiven now.
Stay tuned for more on this as we hear about it… Cowabunga!

Activision has acquired the video game rights to the (really awesome) new Ninja Turtles television series as part of a global, multi-year deal with Nickelodeon. The publisher plans to release the first of three games this summer to unspecified platforms.
No developer details have been announced at this time. Stay tuned for more.

IDW Publishing, a comic book publisher that’s been restoring the name of licensed comics as of late with great offerings for TMNT, Ghostbusters, Star Trek, Transformers, G.I. Joe and more, is adding another beloved property to that list: The X-Files.
Agents Mulder and Scully are set to return in comic book form in June 2013, and will continue the story from where X-Files: I Want to Believe left off. The last time they appeared in comics was the IDW/Wildstorm crossover series 30 Days of Night/X-Files in 2009. Previously published through DC’s Wildstorm, the new X-Files comics will be joined by reprinted collections of previous volumes of X-Files comics that ran from 1995 (from the now defunct Topps Comics) through to the DC-era.
