CatDog and April O'Neil join Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl!

At Gamescom, GameMill Entertainment showed off a new trailer for Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, revealing that CatDog (from the show with the same name) and April O'Neil (from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who was - amusingly - confirmed to be playable in Shredder's Revenge yesterday) will join the battle!

From what can be seen from CatDog's trailer, you can switch which one of two are leading. While they share some moves, such as slamming a fire hydrant on top of anyone in front of them, both of them appear to have their own moves unique to them. Two examples are Dog spitting bones at his foes, and Cat comically strangling Dog while shoving him forward, which can hit anyone in front of them.

In addition to the usual punches and kicks, April can be seen using some of her recording equipment in her attacks. Some of them appear to be able to reflect projectile attacks back at the foe, and one of them seems to have April plant one of them in place. If it's attacked, it'll explode, though it appears to do no damage to the foe, so who knows what the move's actual purpose is at the moment.

Additionally, it's been confirmed that Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl will also be headed to PC via Steam, so PC players won't be left out on the fun!

April O'Neil confirmed as playable in TMNT: Shredder's Revenge!

As revealed yesterday in the Gamescom Stream, TMNT Shredder's Revenge is bringing another beloved TMNT character to play as in this upcoming side-scrolling beat-'em-up: April O'Neil!

Along with the regular punch and kick attacks, she's also seen using a recording camera and her microphone to attack Shredder's minions.

She'll also have some humorous reactions to certain enemy attacks, such as getting her hand bitten by a mouser.

The game also shows off a new mechanic: Team Moves! While the details of how to perform one isn't elaborated on, we can see April performing a dive-kick towards Leo, who proceeds to throw her at some incoming Foot Ninjas.

Though with this exciting news, there's also some bad: the game's release has been moved to sometime in 2022 next year, so TMNT fans will have to wait a bit longer before they can play the game.

Think there will be any more playable characters? The initial reveal trailer did show Splinter, so he's likely playable. Some fans are also hoping for Casey Jones to make an appearance as well. Write your thoughts in the comments below!

New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game, Shredder's Revenge, announced!

Today on March 10 - also known to some as Mario day - "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge" was announced. The game is being worked on by Tribute Games Inc., and will be published by Dotemu.Tribute Games Inc are known for working on "Flinthook and the Mercenary Kings", while Dotemu have worked on "Streets of Rage 4" and "Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap."

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge" is a throwback to the classic TMNT Beat 'em Up games, and uses the art aesthetics of the iconic 1987 cartoon show. Players can pick between Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo, or team-up in 4-player co-op.

From what little has been said about the story, Bebop and Rocksteady have invaded Channel 6 to steal some "gnarly devices" that will help Shredder and Krang out in their latest scheme. The turtles will go through many iconic locations of the series, from the sewers of New York City to Dimension X, to stop their nefarious plot. In addition, players will also do battle against iconic foes, such as the Foot Soldiers, Baxter Stockman, and the Triceraton Warriors.

The trailer for the game also showcases Splinter - the teacher of ninjutsu to the TMNT - and April O'Neil - friend and companion of the TMNT - beating up a few of the baddies in the game. Whether or not this means they'll be playable characters or not hasn't been said.

You can watch the game's trailer here! The game's release date is currently unknown, though it does have a page up on Steam.
