 4 players !! Now that's more like it !!


--My pal ,Dierna spots out --GameSpot's TMNT 3: Mutant Nightmare coverage..starting here !!




--T-drome's NT also has some scoops and some slightly disturbing news about this new game..




"Some new info concerning the new TMNT DVD release dates from Dan Berger, it only seems to be getting more out of order I'm afraid:


Quote:
Here's the latest projected North American release schedule for the TMNT DVDs from FUNimation (titles and episodes are subject to change, but this is what we know as of today):


August 30th - TMNT 3.4 "Shredder’s Final Countdown" - Episodes 77, 78, 79, 82 and 86


October 4th - TMNT 3.5 "Mutants and Monsters" - Episodes 66, 68, 76, 83 and 90


October 18th - TMNT "Michaelango’s Christmas Rescue" (restock) - Episodes 53, 1, 5 and 10


January 31, 2006 - TMNT 3.6 "Turtles Against H.A.T.E." - Episodes 62, 67, 69, 80 and 81


March 28, 2006 - TMNT 3.7 "Aliens Among Us" - Episodes 84, 87, 88, 92, and 93 *


May 23, 2006 - TMNT 3.8 "Mutant Outbreak" - Episodes 94, 95, 97, 98 and 99 *


Konami showed off the latest progress (--..click here for IGN's preview .. ~tOkK) on the new TMNT game, TMNT 3: Mutant Nightmare yesterday. Overall it seems like a bit of an improvement over the last two turtle games, but not by all too much. Worst of all however, Konami has made some severe rearrangements to the classic TMNT: Turtles in Time game that will be unlockable in Mutant Nightmare. Including their changes are replacing the classic "Pizza Power" song with the new show's theme and more baddies onscreen. Our very own ThirdMarioBro has the scoop (-- ..Click here for the T-drome thread concerning these strange alterations ~t), and promises as a member of the gaming press to forward fan complaints to Konami.**


[Thanks to TMB for the info!]"


**It may be in your benefit to check out this thread.. the altering of a real classic is in progress. Disturbing..to me at least. It may be in your benefit to let the big guys know your concern pro- or con- concerning this !!




-- ..Shredder still controls the Forums.. but Mikey's one tuff' ninja..and he's still cracking at the overwhelming task of overhauling the whole thing !! Hang tuff' forum-mites n' tOkKa-bytes !! Thanks for your concern !! 8)

I know it's been frustrating with the downtime. Mikey and the Server company are working on it. There is something 'not right' with the coding. Don't give up and keep checking.. we want to get them back up A.S.A.P. ..and we WILL!!

So many overwhelming variants !! Hang in there, kids.. if you still havn't gotten your 'Yoshi','Blanque', or Gen.. give it a bot more time.

Good thing is they are small text adverts that won't hinder load time .. (you guys get enuff' load-time issues as it is with all the bull spit i load up here on ya ..) !!

Ya mean i'm not gonna be able to stare menacingly from behind with my big claw looming up in vegance on anymore DVD covers ?! Man..i'm gonna miss you guys..




-->> TMNT's season four starts in a little over a month. What better way to kick off the first Shredder-less season than with the massive finale and the ultimate Turtle Justice !? TMNT 3.4 has a street date for August 30th..but i'm giving you the heads up now that some vendors may actually have it earlier than the street date. TMNT DVD releases ..on odd occasions ..pop up way early. And if history repeats itself..this one may as well.
In any case..we'll keep an eye on the bugger early or not.


Ya know.. JUST BEFORE THE MONSTERS COME !!




-- T-drome's N.Turtle sez.. ::




"Some more con appearances coming up, first off Kevin Eastman will be a guest at Wizard World Chicago (August 4th-7th). Also Peter Laird, Michael Dooney, Jim Lawson, Steve Lavigne and Eric Talbot will all be at the Canadian National Expo in Toronto, August 26-28.




Also, on Saturday August 6th Fox will be showing previews of all their shows including season 4 of TMNT. The previews will most likely be scattered between their cartoon blocks, so keep an eye out!"




..now tOkKie's thoughts are scattered.. i'm a peanut.
