Platinum Games looks to be giving the same treatment they gave Transformers to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles which means it should be full of awesome fan service and hopefully, nunchakus crossed, pretty awesome too. We can see from the art style the game is going to be stylized to look like a graphic novel which is definite bonus points in my book. Out of everything they’ve shown in the trailer I’m only slightly disappointed with the small glimpse we have of The Shredder. I’m not to hot that they gave him what looks like retractable blades. Original Shredder was blades out all day long. Other than that it looks pretty cool, hopefully the 4 player co-op gameplay will hold up. We should know if it soothes our lonely shell heart when it comes to PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One this summer.
