"Nintendo Announces 'TMNT: Splintered Fate' as Switch Exclusive: Exciting Updates for Turtle Fans!
Nintendo has revealed that "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate" will debut on the Switch in July as a timed console exclusive, with plans to expand to other platforms later. This comes as great news for TMNT enthusiasts, especially with the impending release of "TMNT Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants" across all major platforms on April 23. This title is a modernized port of the 2017 arcade hit by Raw Thrills, featuring additional stages and boss fights.
"TMNT: Splintered Fate", developed by Super Evil Megacorp, marks their first foray into console gaming. Originally a mobile game, it has been enhanced for the Switch with superior graphics and sound. The game presents the iconic quartet of turtles in a roguelike format that combines intense combat, a dynamic build system, and cooperative play elements, promising high replay value. Since its initial release for iOS and Mac in May 2023, the game has received high praise, averaging 4.7 out of 5 from over 24,000 reviews.
The narrative of "Splintered Fate" offers a fresh storyline co-written by TMNT comic author Tom Waltz and Michael Johnson, Super Evil Megacorp's creative director. Players will navigate through diverse New York City locales, encountering numerous Easter eggs, collectibles, and classic foes like Shredder, Bebop, and Rocksteady. Although the duration of the Switch exclusivity remains unspecified, the game's release on additional consoles seems assured.
Looking ahead, "TMNT: Mutants Unleashed" is slated for a late 2024 launch on all major platforms, following the storyline from the "Mutant Mayhem" animated film in a 3D brawler-platformer style. Additionally, excitement continues to build around THQ Nordic's "TMNT: The Last Ronin", despite the quiet period following its intense reveal trailer in August 2023, which promised a darker direction for the TMNT saga.
