Crossover Turtles for DLC (Serious!)

[Elbow]

I know the developers poke around here somewhat, and I hoped to get this shared and made public to see if there was any interest.

So, the 87' TMNT has had multiple crossovers with newer versions of the turtles. They've met up with the 2003 and 2012 variants, respectively. So much so that both new sets-- which I will refer to as '03 and '12-- have both been *in* the world of '87, and vice versa.

My proposal is this: If the game does well, could we see a crossover where we have re-skinned Turtles/April & Casey from both the '03 and '12 era, voice actors included? They all had their own flavor, and while they could all certainly fight the same way, it would be a massive treat to see the newer versions run through the 87' world. It absolutely fits! The series already embraces dimension-hopping and crossovers with itself, so this is absolutely the norm for TMNT as a whole.

As paid DLC, I would happily put down money for this.

For developers, if you need examples/source material to draw from:

2003 - Turtles Forever (Movie)

2012 - S4E10 Trans-Dimensional Turtles

In particular, the 2012 version pays some serious homage and lovingly pokes fun at the 87' era in the episode mentioned above. That all said, all versions are fantastic and I would LOVE to see 2003 and 2012 get some love. I hope you see this and can see the love we have for not just the original cartoon, but the future iterations that also built upon what came before and truly helped make the turtles timeless.

I don't know what is or isn't feasible for future support for this game. Entirely new characters and levels might be off the table. That's why I propose '03 and '12 era skins/voices for playable characters only, because they've already been on adventures in and know the '87 world.

Thank you for reading. I really, really hope you take this into consideration!

(P.S: Mirage versions would be cool too, but I do think '03 and '12 deserve time in the spotlight!)

Pretty sure Tribute said in a recent interview that there are zero plans for DLC.

Actually they've said they have no current plans for DLC but they're not against it depending on how well the game sells.

There's a Siliconera article titled "TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge DLC Would Depend on ‘Many Factors’". Not impossible, so that's why I made this post. I really hope this can come to pass.

hoping miyamoto usagi gets added to dlc.

Rather than crossover vers of the same 4, I'd rather have other playables even if its just for arcade mode/non-story such as playable Karai, Jennika, Usagi Yojimbo, hell, playable Shredder even.

I'm just working off the most realistic scenario of what they could do. Extra fanservice in this way also makes perfect sense, since there have been established crossovers and the "Familiar heroes are missing, will these otherworlders save the day?" concept works easily here.

And, I don't know if there are rules in place regarding Jennika, being from a different version of the series and all. I could see Karai, potentially, since they've been using other '87 related media and not solely the animated series. I don't know how likely any extra playable characters are though, hence just focusing on bringing back other iterations of them.

IMO, if they ever do DLCs they should do expansion packs, like other stories + new characters, new characters + new routes, etc.

Why asking DLC? First enjoy the game and then ask a second one. That's how it worked before and it was way better.
Moreover there is a big list of Beat'm up I would like to see again. No time to waste DotEmu!

This is probably the only legitimate chance '03 and '12 have of getting meaningful representation in a TMNT game again. More specifically, a good one.

Personally I'd rather not see this happen, the 87 cartoon style was chosen for a very important and good reason. If it's not broken don't try and fix it, that's how you break it.

I like this preposition ^^

I'd say the most realistic... and going by Streets of Rage 4... if they do DLC it will be taking existing characters and making them playable as that doesn't involve months of creating new spritework.

So... playable Rocksteady and Bebop bosses at least? I'd still hit that!

Crossover with Battletoads...

The whole game is 90 mins long. Its like 1 full match in cs:go.
