Ever since the reveal of a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game, the exciting news has always been a big announcement. Not only is this going to be a brand new campaign and story following the iconic 1987 beat ‘em up design, but Dotemu and Tribute Games just announced a sixth playable character; Master Splinter. Following what Dotemu did for the Streets of Rage series, I have no doubt that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is the next must-have retro-style game!
While it has been a few months since the last announcement was made for this game, they previously revealed that April O’Neal is going to be playable. Now, the character that is a bit more fitting to have been made into a fighter is joining us and got his own reveal trailer as well. Master Splinter’s calm, thoughtful nature makes him more collected than most of his green pupils, but his mastery of ninja arts ensures that he’s a formidable powerhouse. He dishes out particularly powerful attacks with his trusty staff and wide-reaching special ninja moves, bashing through groups of enemies as efficiently as the Turtles chowing down on a pizza.
We still don’t have a release date for TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge, but we know it is coming to PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Now that there are more than just the turtles to choose from, who will you be fighting the Hand with?
