While it’s not a popular opinion, I’m not really a big fan ofSuper Smash Bros., and I realize that makes me some kind of weirdo in gaming communities. I was a fan of theTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, however, dating back to the early 90s when I spent my days scrounging for money and redeeming empty soda cans for five cents a pop… just so I could buy the first edition of Eastman and Laird’sTMNTdebut black and white comic.
But my dislike ofSmash Bros.is getting in the way of me being excited about Ubisoft’sTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash Up.Designed by some of the folks that worked onSuper Smash Bros. Brawl., the game looks like well…Super Smash Bros. Brawl.With Ninja Turtles.
But holy f*ck! A Thermos! If you reserveTMNT: Smash Upat GameCrazy, you get a limited edition collectors Thermos. I’m an adult, and one that doesn’t even have to leave his house to go to work. I have no real need for a Thermos. But the 11-year-old boy inside of me — the one who carried garbage bags full of empty soda cans to a Long Island Food Emporium to work his way towards a TMNT comic — may not not be able to resist.
