Thus, a partnership was born, and the two studios began developing the game’s pitch to present to Nickelodeon. “So, I said, ‘Hey guys, are you around? Should we talk?’ And so, we saw each other for the first time in San Francisco and it was a really nice first contact, and we basically had the same ideas and things we wanted to do in mind for this project.” “So, I was at GDC and I managed to get contact,” says Dotemu CEO Cyrille Imbert. Every time the topic was brought up about us taking on a project, I would always say, ‘Well, we really want to do TMNT.’ We grew up in the arcades and playing TMNT, so we really wanted to have a stab at it.” “Like, if we're gonna take on one of your IPs, we want it to be TMNT. “We were always super persistent,” says Tribute Games co-founder Jonathan Lavigne. Unfortunately, the timing was never right, but Tribute kept in touch with Nickelodeon hoping that the stars would one day align. As Dotemu began mapping out ideas for the game, it caught word that Tribute Games was not only interested in doing the same but had been campaigning to Nickelodeon for permission to create a TMNT game since 2010. The company was impressed by the studio’s past work on games like Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap, and Dotemu jumped at the chance to tackle TMNT next. The project began when Nickelodeon, who holds the Turtles license, approached Dotemu to make a new game based on one of their IPs. Shredder's Revenge was born from a happy coincidence between two TMNT-loving development teams who joined forces after discovering they each had a shared vision of making a new Turtles game. After all, the trailer featured Master Splinter and April O’Neil kicking butt, and the developers wouldn’t comment on the noticeably absent Casey Jones. Another element the teams are being coy about is the inclusion of playable characters besides the Turtles.

There’s no doubt Shredder’s Revenge will play smoother than the old games, and features such as new modes and other options are implied but not confirmed. The teams aren’t ready to talk specifics they are only offering hints by saying the classic games, fun as they were, hit a ceiling in terms of technical limitations, which are now a thing of the past. So that was the idea that started it.”ĭespite clearly going for nostalgia, Shredder’s Revenge will sport modern enhancements. And including us, because, personally, I played those games a lot as a kid and I missed them a lot.

“We wanted to bring back a game for the fans of the ‘87 animated series and also the old arcade games of the ‘90s,” says Tribute Games co-founder Jean-Francois Major. From the game’s character and art design to the remade version of that famous theme song (performed by Faith No More’s Mike Patton), Shredder’s Revenge is designed to be the ultimate love letter to TMNT’s glory years.

Both Dotemu and Tribute Games are staffed by old-school TMNT fans who, like many of us, were raised on the classic cartoon, collected its multitude of toys, and spent way too much money playing the arcade games.

The game draws inspiration from the iconic 1987 animated show, and if you’re somehow worried that the developers don’t understand the source material, jettison those doubts now. Like any TMNT game worth its salt, Shredder’s Revenge lets up to four friends team up both locally and online (cross-play to be determined) to beat the tar out of villains like the Foot Clan, Bebop, Rocksteady, and Shredder himself.
