UBISOFT KICKS SOME SHELL WITH TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES(TM): ARCADE ATTACK
Classic Beat-Em-Up Gameplay Coming Exclusively to Nintendo DS(TM)
SAN FRANCISCO – September 3, 2009 – Ubisoft today announced that it will be
releasing an all new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(TM) adventure game in honor of
the 25th anniversary of the brand. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Arcade Attack,
developed exclusively for Nintendo DS(TM) system, has an original storyline and
is a side-scrolling beat-'em-up game. It is a tribute to the original coin-op
classics that made the Turtles into video game legends. The game pits the four
Ninja Turtle brothers against their old nemesis, Shredder, and his many
villainous henchmen.
"The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 25th anniversary 'shell-ebration' is quickly
turning into a Turtle fan's dream, especially if they love video games,” said
Gary Richardson, CEO of Mirage Studios. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Arcade
Attack will absolutely thrill the old school Turtle fan, especially the ones
that recall putting in countless hours at the arcade, as well as the newer fan
who loves ninja action.”
"Gamers all over the world recall the countless hours of fun these types of
arcade games provided,” said Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and
marketing at Ubisoft. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Arcade Attack plans to
recapture that nostalgia and add an entirely new level of sophistication. Given
the success of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled, as well
as the excitement for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash-Up, we believe that
Arcade Attack truly completes the TMNT experience.”
Available this Holiday, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Arcade Attack will feature
an all-new combination system, enabling players to string together uppercuts and
roundhouse kicks to unlock a series of moves powerful enough to take out even
the strongest enemy. In addition, the game will include a cooperative mode,
allowing for arcade action with either a friend via local wireless, or a
system-controlled Turtle brother.
TMNT fans will be able to play an early version of the game by visiting the
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Party Bus, which will be located at the entrance of
the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle, WA, from Friday, September 4th through Sunday,
September 6th.
