For those whose growing up in the 1990s, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles means something. The bold postmodern slap in the face of superhero comics there in the West has become one of the symbols of the new era here. Good, bad - it's not about that. But four green brothers in colorful armbands with exotic weapons, calling themselves such buzzwords as "ninjas" and "mutants," were capturing the soul. Someone probably even kept comics about them, one of the first in the former Soviet Union, someone carefully stores as a memory videotapes of the animated series. And someone, shedding poor tears of nostalgia, now and again will think of great beatemaps for the NES, SNES and Mega Drive.

Great news for the latter: the studio Tribute Games, supported by publisher Dotemu is preparing to release Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge.

It's an old-school beatemake inspired by just those very childhood games, even visually stylized for 8- and 16-bit fights. The closest analogue is last year's Streets of Rage 4, released, by the way, also by Dotemu. The authors promise exciting gameplay in the spirit of the old school, the stylistics of the cartoon series of 80-90's, a lot of iconic characters, multiplayer support up to 4 players and a completely new story.

The game still has no release date, and the exact list of supported platforms, except PC and some "consoles" (most likely, we are talking about PS4/5, Xbox One/Series X and Nintendo Switch). But there is a trailer with a splash screen and bits of gameplay:
