Video Gaming News - November 2005
Redwood City, CA (November 1, 2005) - Konami today announced that
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare (TMNT3) for the PlayStation 2,
the Xbox, GameCube, and DS has shipped to retail outlets nationwide.
From Konami:
Introducing a wealth of unique features to the TMNT Universe, Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare includes - for the first time in the history
of the franchise - characters that evolve and abilities that improve as players
progress through the game. Additionally, TMNT3 introduces a new experience point
system, improved fighting control and more advanced multiplayer capabilities. As
a special bonus, old-school Turtle fans will be able to unlock one of the
original TMNT arcade games in the console versions of the game.
The console versions of TMNT3 focus more on teamwork, character development
and control than any other Turtles game to date. Gamers can play as their
favorite Turtle -- alone or with up to three friends -- earning experience
points as they slash and bash Foot Ninjas and other powerful foes. These
experience points allow players to improve and evolve their Turtles’ traits and
abilities for more varied, powerful attacks and moves. Another new feature on
TMMT3 is the Ninja Scroll System, which allows players to select which ninja
scrolls to use, enabling them to utilize the Turtles various abilities
strategically.
Cooperative play lies at the heart of TMNT3 and gamers who team up with
friends for multiplayer action are rewarded with exclusive features such as
Cooperative Attack. The effect of this attack changes depending on the number of
players working together (between 2-4 players). For greater control, TMNT3
features a new combat system called the Target Attack system that lets gamers
play more strategically. With the Target Attack system, players will be able to
lock onto specific enemies and block, dodge or counter attack for more
maneuverable combat. Story Mode can be played with 1-4 players. When there are
less than four players, the other Turtles will still be at your side, controlled
through AI.
TMNT3 for the Nintendo DS utilizes the unique features of the handheld system
for an exciting TMNT experience. A side scrolling melee action game with 50
action-packed stages, it features the Turtles battling a nightmarish enemy in an
effort to save the world from destruction. The emphasis of the game is strategic
teamwork. Through each level, players will not only need to defeat enemies, but
they will also have to explore and solve challenging puzzles. Playing alone or
with friends, gamers will use the touch pad to get help from other Turtles and
utilize their unique abilities to overcome obstacles and traps. Players also
have the ability to solve different puzzles and, during fighting phases, play
out epic battles that take place. Additionally, gamers can team up with friends
via the Nintendo DS’ wireless multiplayer functionality.
