News Xbox 360

Shell out tomorrow.

Digital Eclipse's latest Xbox Live Arcade conversion - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - will be released tomorrow morning, Microsoft confirmed this week.

Based on the 1989 coin-op, TMNT will allow you to work through the original fighting game's seven levels alone or with up to three others in tow over Xbox Live.

It'll boast the usual array of achievements (12) along with 200 gamerpoints, and you'll be able to download a demo version to find out if it's any good. The full version will go for 400 Microsoft points (GBP 3.40 / EUR 4.65).

All of that should appear tomorrow at 9am GMT. Pizza on Microsoft.

Teenage Mutant NINJA Turtles? Sounds FAR to violent..... they should rebrand it Hero Turtles - we apparently couldnt handle the word "ninja" over here in the 1990s so why should things be any different now?

And yes, I AM being sarcastic.

Incredible. I will download it rightaway. Don't need to try the trial version! This game rocks. Though i wished Castlevania came out this wednesday, but Teenage mutant ninja turtles are very welcome. and only 400 points. Realy cheap.

Except Darren the game wasn't crap it was a genre classic in the 90's and is being released at a measley 400 points so please take your aimless trolling elsewhere.

No. No more. Tucks credit card deep into wallet. LIVE and Wii are killing my credit rating. Enough!

I wouldn't say it's crap because I don't know the game but I agree with Darren that XBLA shouldn't be all about retro games

Incredible how some people react. But that's what you can expect from teens. They haven't even played this game cos they weren't born yet or loves only 3d games. And live arcade is meant for arcade games. And only the old ones are the real classic arcade games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you want something new go buy a new game that meant for the xbox 360 game. If you don't like arcade/retro game piss off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At the risk of sounding like a porn star.....

Fuck yes!!

Seriously though, just �3.40 for the chance to relive one of the more cherished memories of my childhood of a game I desperately wanted to play but never got the chance? Result! Especially seeing as the SoR remake has rekindled my once obsessive love of side-scrolling beat-em ups.

@ everyone saying "what a load of crap":

Fuck off. Some of us are actually well chuffed. Better than most of the other retro shit that has been released. In fact I'd downloaded the SoR remake at about the same time I got a Wii with Zelda: TP. I played SoR a lot more.

Small hint: don't bother with the Wii's VC if you think all old games are shit.

I thought this was the one released on SNES as Turtles in Time. Saddened that it's the older one, Turtles in Time was a better game.
