Heroes in a Half-Shell!

The Ninja Turltes will soon be featured in a Smash Brothers-esque beat 'em up featuring characters from the TMNT universe. This sounds like a great idea, but whats with all the Smash Bros. references? The official title is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash Up, but thats not all! Whatch this trailer and tell me the last bit of type isn't yet another reference to the Smash Bros. franchise.

...and who else thinks that Krang should be in a damn yellow robot suit with a creepy egg-head on top and not some metal gray mech suit?

Afraid of no ghost! Hero Turtles?

Thought I was going to be left out of this game? Here are a couple of my favs. Second after the jump.




Apparently they used to be called Hero Turtles? Guess they changed it after the first season.



The actual original that I could find (there are a lot of "remixes") wasn't embedable.

Something awesome this way comes...

Good Afternoon, my name is Efren Salinas and I love Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles... kick some shell after the jump. 

The Wired.com video gaming blog "GameLife" is pretty badass and I recommend you guys check it out (aswell as all their other blogs ranging from automobiles to new military technology). Anyway, they just posted a story on a new Ninja Turtles fighting game being produced by the makers of Super Smash Bros. and I couldnt be more excited. 

For starters, the Super Smash Bros. series of games kick total butt. Take that formula and mix in our favorite heroes in a half-shell and you got a recipe for one heck of a good time. The game is being developed by Ubisoft for the Wii. It is scheduled for release in Fall of 2009.

p.s. Shotgun Michelangelo!
