GoNintendo brings us word on a couple of new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games coming to the DS. First, there’s this listing from OFLC for Turtles in Time: Re-shelled for the DSi. A little later in the evening, GoNintendo got the heads up on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Arcade Attack announced in the latest issue of Nintendo Power.
The listing from OFLC might be in error and could really be for Arcade Attack, but either way, I’m so looking forward to Arcade Attack now. The game is sounding like a true TMNT game as it’s going to have a lot of throw backs to the original comics.
There will be black and white cutscenes designed to look like the original comics, special moves for each character and pizza and Chinese food (included as an homage to the original comics) for health pickups. Arcade Attack will have eight levels, story, survival, boss battle and time attack modes and two player co-op.
Except for the limiting co-op, this is sounding pretty awesome. It sounds better than the recent XBLA release anyway.
Also, what the fuck:

Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

I'd put it IN April O'Neil!
I think they just suck the soul out of the old series.
Yes, The comics were actually pretty dark to begin with and still are (I.E. Don killing Baxter for injecting April with nano bots to make her infertile) and the new show draws alot of its plot and atmosphere from the comics as well, definitely worth a watch if you can get passed the goofy intro - the actual plot episodes are very entertaining and the Shredder is cool.
Personally I find the old show to be pretty unwatchable, even with the nostalgic value
I agree.
We'll just have to wait and see.
