I'd love to see a TMNT action/rpg series like Ultimate Alliance.

That'd be awesome!

Do. It. Right!!! I can't take the disappointment of another shitty turtles game. There hasn't been a good one since Turtles in Time.

The Konami games were awesome and the Arcade game is classic. Anybody else spot the TMNT Arcade game in Wreck-It Ralph?

Why cant they make one game which is based on CGI series and one which is more adult oriented like the very first comics.
