A glimmer of hope came to Turtles fans late in the year when it was announced that WayForward, those who worked on DuckTales: Remastered as well as Batman: The Brave and Bold among many others, were not only making a TMNT game subtitled “Danger of the Ooze”, but one in the style of Metroid, a genre in which they found success in with 2011’s Alien: Infestation. I haven’t had a chance to play the game that tied into this summer’s forgettable film series reboot, though unconfirmed reports say it may be actually good, I did play 2013’s Out of the Shadows which I will go on record as saying is one of the worst games I’ve ever played period and the first game based on the new animated series, simply titled “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”, is a really boring beat-em-up best suited for the younger crowd only, and I mean really young. The current holder of the now once again hot property, thanks in no part to the pretty excellent animated series running on Nickelodeon, is Activision, who like other companies have done the license little justice. After being a part of some of the best licensed video games ever produced in Konami’s TMNT: The Arcade Game and Turtles in Time, there really hasn’t been a truly excellent game starring the anthropomorphic amphibians since the early 90’s, despite the likes of Konami and Ubisoft developing game with the license throughout the 2000’s. When it comes to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and video games, the two haven’t gotten along for quite some time.
