NEW PLAYABLE CHARACTERS
You’ll always get the chance to play as one of the four Turtles, that’s a given. But very few TMNT games allow you to play as other characters from the long running franchise (TMNT: Tournament Fighters and TMNT: Smash-Up being the obvious exceptions). Allowing you to take up the role of Casey Jones, April O’Neill, or Splinter would add some enjoyable diversity to the roster, allowing for some awesome possibilities in combat. Because as much as we love the Turtles, we’ve had a number of games over the years that have already afforded us that opportunity, so why not change things up a bit?
There’s a ton of other characters from the Nickelodeon series that deserve some game time too; Metalhead, Slash, Leatherhead, and Karai are just a few potential options. Of course, they only make sense if you’ve seen any of the animated series over the years, but to TMNT fans they are just as iconic as the big four. A cameo or two would also suffice if proper playable types are out of the question, especially given the talented voice cast that have lent their time to the series (including everyone’s favorite, Nolan North).
To really throw it out there, how about the option of unlocking villains like Shredder, Bebop and Rocksteady or Kraang? That might be a bit of a stretch, but it would make for nice bonus for anyone who puts a decent amount of time into the arcade cabinet.
