New video game "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Danger of the Ooze" is announced!

A new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video game is underway from the development company WayForward that will bridge the gap in between seasons 2 and 3 of the hit Nickelodeon show. This new game will be titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Danger of the Ooze and will be released for the Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.

Featuring a side-scrolling adventurer that will allow players to swap between turtles at will, this game brings a non-linear world to gamers that will reward exploration and creative thinking.

Here is a description of the game from the press release:

"The game quickly heats up as Shredder, Tiger Claw and a new army of mutants threaten the streets of New York, forcing Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo to take action into their own hands. The game’s distinguishing feature is its vast, interconnected, non-linear game world, which rewards exploration and creative thinking. Powers, upgrades and equipment scattered across New York and Dimension X opens up new environments to traverse, secrets to discover and bosses to battle. 

All four Turtles can be swapped between freely throughout the adventure, and each has his own unique rhythm, with specialized stats, strengths and skills. Combat is fast-paced, emphasizing the gang’s martial arts prowess through attack and item combos, counters and finishers, but also provides tools for stealth-based approaches to avoid or tackle enemies."

It's a little early to give an opinion on the game but I am excited that the Turtles are getting another chance at one. Their last few outings haven't been smash hits so I am hoping that this one is the big winner for them!

A big thank you goes out to my girlfriend, Jackie, for letting me know about this game!
