Mikey comes Out of the Shadows in new TMNT trailer

The craziest, pizza-chomping brother of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles gets his shell on in the new trailer for Activision’s Out of the Shadows.

Always ready with a punch and a punchline, the orange-draped Michelangelo puts a literal spin on the phrase “party animal.” He’s a fun-loving foodie with an appetite for goofing off instead of training. But despite his lighthearted tone and distaste for confrontation, Mikey is no less committed to the cause than his older brothers, whom he looks up to as role models.

Michelangelo is the youngest of the quartet of brothers, and also the weakest of the group. He makes up for it by also being the fastest of them all though. And those two attributes basically equal him evading and striking till he builds up high combos and powerful specials- at which point, the foot are seriously going down like a pizza.

If you were paying attention to the tunes in the trailer you might recognize the stylings of DJ Just Blaze, who cranked out the special track just for the video. And is it me, or does this game look really pretty? I’m usually way more a fan of the toon style that the TMNT usually rock than anything too ‘realistic’ for the bros, but Red Fly Studio (the developers) look to be doing an amazing job on the visuals.

TMNT: Out of the Shadows is targeting a Summer release, and that’s about as specific as the game’s Facebook page gets. We do know however, that you can definitely expect to be playing it for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
