With the release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, we’ve got a modern day recreation of a beloved 80’s cartoon with all the trimmings. A nice 16-bit art style, some retro arcade beat ‘em up gameplay, and the modern refinement that shreds unnecessary frustration present in some of the real oldies. All in all, I like it a lot!
To go alongside the review, I sat down with publishing and marketing director at Tribute Games, Eric Lafontaine, to discuss what the team wanted to achieve going in, recreating the TMNT humour, and bringing the intricacies of the cartoon to a modern platform.
