The streets of New York need some heroes – and they’re not picky about species! Activision Publishing, Inc. today announced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™, a new, original video game developed by Magic Pockets, starring the butt-kicking, pizza-loving Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael. Set in the same universe as Nickelodeon’s popular animated series, this side-scrolling action-brawler will bridge the gap between the show’s first and second seasons, putting Turtle Power into fans’ hands.

True to classic TMNT-style gameplay and atmosphere, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™ is an energetic, blazing beat ’em up with four-person, local, drop-in/drop-out co-op (Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system only) and features character upgrades, secondary items, and multiple gameplay modes. It offers an authentic Turtles storyline, encompassing franchise-favourite characters and locations from the animated series, unfolding through animated cut scenes and in-game events.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™ will be available in retail stores later this year for Nintendo 3DS™ handheld system and the Xbox 360® games and entertainment system. It has not yet received a rating by the Australian Classification Board. For more information, please visit https://www.facebook.com/teenagemutantninjaturtles.
