Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge Nintendo Switch Review – Is It Worth It?
Hello everybody xeon over here from Nintendo life and today we’re here to Share with you our review of teenage Mutant ninja turtles shredders revenge On the nintendo switch now this review Was originally written by tom massey for Nintendo life.com but was reworked into This video by me [Music] One of the biggest phenomena of the 80s Was the teenage mutant ninja turtles and Somehow that energy has endured for 35 Whole years if you can believe it the Initial dark comet creations later given A kid-friendly refashioning spearheaded Turtlemania a toxic waste fusion of Martial arts and mutant teen reptiles That swept the globe leonardo raphael Michelangelo and donatello were Plastered on shirts shorts lunch boxes And of course injected into video games Konami’s 1989 arcade release a Four-player scrolling beat-em-up Engineered to bankrupt unwitting parents Was a dream come true for the kids that Were tall enough to reach its bulky Shelf-like control panel and despite the Superior 1991 sequel turtles in time few Have achieved the same kind of energy Until now tribute games responsible for Scott pilgrim vs the world the game and Panzer paladin certainly hasn’t half Shelled it teenage mutant ninja turtles Shredders revenge is the best turtles
Side-scrolling beat-em-up ever made in Places the similarities are so strong to Konami’s effort that it flies Dangerously close to potential copyright Infringement but at the same time Tribute and mu have gone to town with The license cramming the enormous 16 Stage brawl with a broad compendium of Bad guys including many lesser-known Characters snatched from the depths of The archie comic book series as well Graphically it’s a feast sadly there Aren’t any crt filters which some may Find disappointing but it’s so Beautifully lovingly drawn that it’s Hard to muster up a complaint every inch Is stuffed with detail beginning inside April o’neil’s channel 5 tv station Before moving through new york’s back Streets and sewers familiar locations Are rendered with fresh loving attention To detail gorgeous color and an Authentic cartoon flavor all strung Together with great visual storytelling The zoo for example features these Adorably cute and bothersome monkeys That get in your way from time to time And rampaging animals as well the Turtle’s blimp trails you while you Hoverboard above sunny city rooftops Dodging incoming missiles and certain Sections feel like you’re battling it Out in the 1989 playmate sewer toy set Comedic elements can be found around
Every corner too idle foot soldiers Steal the turtles van wheels rattle game Boys and lick popsicles all before you Disturb their fun with a nunchuck upside The head the sprite designs are superbly Animated and bursting with character and The turtles boast plenty of individual Personality as well april o’neil for Example is simply superb snapping photos Of downed enemies and hammering through Crowds with a boom mic the stages Themselves have plenty of variety Although little feels really new bosses Where you need to fling enemies into the Foreground and obstacle littered Cheapskate skateboard rides are cherry Picked from past titles where it does Work well though is the sheer number of Enemies and how they attack forcing you To continually apply different Approaches Bosses too are brilliantly designed and Executed with fun engaging patterns and Windows of opportunity to lay into them With a super just as much effort has Gone into the audio department with T-lopes of sonic mania fame mustering a Stellar soundtrack the turtle’s vocal Quips are recorded by the original Cartoon cast and occasional singing Tracks that range from rap style beats To cheesy rock appropriately cement the Tone the chords and motifs are kindred To the original show’s idiosyncratic
Sound as are the one-liners spilled when You smack shredder’s foot clan while the Aesthetic is assured it wouldn’t be much If the gameplay wasn’t up to snuff and Evidently this is where shredder’s Revenge comes into its own the control Scheme is a marvel of quality squeezing Everything necessary out of the control Pad while never becoming overly complex You can charge attack dash slide double Jump drop kick rising tackle dodge grab And slam in two different ways and enact Three types of devastating super attacks All in addition to your standard tap Combos in tandem this goes off like a Dream you quickly become accustomed to The moveset which is cleverly adjusted For each character’s strengths and Weaknesses only when you dash slide into A foot soldier launch into a rising Tackle and dropkick back down followed By a dash barrage and additional juggles Do you realize how flawlessly taught the Combat actually is it may be combo and Juggle heavy but it’s all very easy to Initiate the result is a flamboyant Raucous turtle mosh pit where you barrel Fearlessly into enemy hordes dodge roll Through explosives and dominate the Screen at ninja pace now as far as the Gameplay modes there’s an arcade mode on Board which is our preferred way to play That’s as straightforward as it sounds You gain an extra life for every 200
Enemies dispatched and it’s a nicely Balanced highly engaging play through on Defaults kick the difficulty up too hard The go-to setting for beat em up Aficionados and the challenge is really On story mode augments the game with a City map overworld where stages can be Revisited to complete challenges uncover Hidden items and reveal character cameos The system here features a smart Peripheral rpg element whereby you Convert accrued points into additional Health upgraded supers enhanced radical Mode abilities and even extra lives the Aim is to incrementally power up the Entire team while working through the Collect-a-thon objectives multiplayer is Fiendishly good fun as well with up to Six players thrashing about with a cool Range of team-up attacks and the ability To revive downed allies and although we Weren’t able to test it online during The review period you can party with Internet ready fellows at almost any Point in the game now tribute games are Aware of a catalog of bugs and glitches Ready to be patched day one we did However encounter a few not on the Pre-launch list audio pops occurred now And then and certain sound effects like Windows breaking didn’t seem to be Working properly there are occasional Frame stutters even in one player mode But these are so fleeting that they
Don’t really affect the action however Once during a two-player game we were Left waiting up to three minutes between Stages on a black screen and then during A boss fight the game slowed to a 1 fps Crawl before one of the bosses went Underground never to return again ending The game the worst of our fates was Making it to the penultimate stage only For an error to occur the game to quit And then no recurs to return to our Point of progress despite these Performance issues we’re confident Tribute games will smooth everything out And it shouldn’t dissuade you from a Purchase tellingly these hiccups didn’t Affect our overall opinion in the Slightest two years in the making Teenage mutant ninja turtles shredders Revenge is the best turtles beat-em-up Ever made it looks delicious sounds Superb and rekindles childhood memories Beyond all expectation time warping you Back to 1987. just as you remembered it Its combat system is so much fun that You feel compelled to keep coming back To try new stages and with its awesome Multiplayer the experience evolves again And again like any beat em up it does Get repetitive as you enter the last Third of the game but that’s much more a Fault of the concept than the actual Game itself and our only regret is that We didn’t use anywhere near enough puns
