Turtles In Time Remake Coming To Xbox 360

With the likes of Bionic Commando: Rearmed and Super Street Fighter II HD Remix, newly remastered remakes of old-school classics are all the rage. Now it looks like we can add Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time to the list.

The Turtles in Time remake was unveiled at last week's "Galabunga" event in New York City (via Ninja Pizza), which had been scheduled to debut the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Party Van. It's still in alpha, but from the looks of it, it's already fairly far along. Two playable stages were offered at the event.

Notable is that this remake does not appear to be based on the Super Nintendo port, but the original arcade game. One difference between the two is that Tokka and Rahzar (from the film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II) were bosses on the pirate ship stage, and not Bebop and Rocksteady. That could mean certain elements are omitted, such as the battle with Rat King and the Technodrome.

At the moment, it's scheduled for release on the Xbox 360. A Wii version is apparently also in the works, though it's unclear whether it'll be the same sort of remake. We'll let you know when we have more information.
