So was I the only one that completely missed it when Ubisoft finally "officially" confirmed the Turtles in Time remake for XBLA? I mean, we knew it was coming. I just don't ever remember Ubisoft officially announcing it.
Re-Shelled will of course feature four player co-op and it looks like it will have four player local co-op as well. You'll even be able to do some system linking for some multiplayer fun. How that is even remotely neccessary since everyone shares the same screen anyway is beyond me.
GameVideos did a comparison video of some of the sections with the classic version to the new version. The action looks so good and best of all, the music is similar to the original score.
Check out the video after the break. What do you all think of it?
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.

The impression that I got from the first vidro that came out lead me to believe that the combat in 3D was going to be pretty awkward. I'm not sure if that was just my imagination or if it's been improved upon. Either way this looks much better.
If I remember correctly, it IS coming to the PSN. It's just a timed exclusive for the XBLA. The moment this is released for the PSN, I'm gonna be ON it.
"The remake will be a timed exclusive for the 360, with a PlayStation Network due "later this year." Titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-shelled, it's due worldwide next month."
Still looks as fun as I remember it being all those years ago. Although, I am with Pew with the fact that with it being 3D, it makes it look a little silly. But still, it's mutated turtles going around and beating up crap. Logic is not the first thing I'm going to be looking for.
Meh. I'd rather they do it like Street Fighter II HD Remix. I just can't get behind this 3D look. Makes me think of the dumb movies that have come out whereas the old version makes me think of the awesome cartoons. This game would look amazing if it were redrawn 2D sprites.
I personally like the 3d style. The arcade version still exists for those of you who it, I applaud the developers for trying something new. I especially like the 3d animation on the boss they showed at the end. I'm very excited for this game.
Whoa this is blowing my mind. Never played the arcade version but the snes version got a flogging around here. How ppl can not be psyched for this game does not compute.

MUST HAVE ORIGINAL AS A OPTIONAL/UNLOCKABLE FEATURE.
That will make it a must buy, otherwise I'll just be curious but not want to touch.
The 2D had more personality. Here's hoping for a 'retro/classic' option.
One thing worries me, I hope when you play 4 co-op, there are more enemies, otherwise it will pretty easy.
Pussies. It's Turtles In Time. Fucking buy it, assholes.
You tell them :)
Turtles in Time on the SNES is easily my favorite game ever, so this is going to be an instant buy for me.
way to screw up a sure thing....at least i still got castle crashers, now that's personality that this remake wish it possesed
Yeah because an XBLA game costs the same as a full retail game O_o
