I’ve now completed video strategy guides for the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network release of Marvel vs. Capcom 2. Having viewed all of the videos, I’m pleased with how they turned out. The Street Fighter IV video strategy guides were the first I’ve done, and I think that experience, plus the fact that MvC2 has been out for a long time, enabled me to create a significantly better product for MvC2.
Moving away from MvC2, I received my first TMNT Smash Up build last Friday. I’ve been playing through the game to get a feel for it, and as you’ve probably heard from the E3 hands-on articles, it’s very similar to Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but it’s different enough to feel like a new game.
I will have my outline done today as I kick things into high gear and start hammering out this guide. More updates soon…

I was seven when the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series first aired. I’ve probably seen every episode, and for a time I could sing the theme song in my sleep. Eleven years later, Super Smash Bros. would hit the Nintendo 64 and I’d log in over 200 hours in less than a month on the Japanese import. Now, ten years later, the two have merged into the upcoming Nintendo Wii title, TMNT Smash Up. You can imagine my joy when I discovered that Smash Up would be my next project.
Very little is known about TMNT Smash Up, but I’ll cover the information we have thus far. The game is published by Ubisoft and developed by the same team who handled Super Smash Bros. Brawl last year. A few former members of Tecmo’s Team Ninja (Dead or Alive, Ninja Gaiden) development team have also joined the Brawl team to create Smash Up. Most people assume the game will play like Brawl with a fresh TMNT coat of paint. That’s certainly not a bad thing, but it should be interesting to see if the competitive Brawl community views the game as tournament worthy.
While I would love to see Bebop, Rocksteady and Krang make an appearance, early reports indicate that the game is based around the comic book and recent CG movie where the three baddies never existed. It’s still safe to say that Shredder and the Foot Clan will be on hand to throw down, as well as all four Turtles, Splinter, Casey Jones and maybe even April.
More importantly, the game will not be complete unless they sign Partners in Kryme for the soundtrack…
