Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Announcement Trailer



Activision Publishing has announced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, a side-scrolling action brawler set in the same universe as Nickelodeon's popular animated series.

Also, from eXophase.com:

Oddly enough, the upcoming game has only been confirmed for the Xbox 360, Wii, and 3DS. No PlayStation 3 or Wii U plans yet, which is kind of weird. Well, the Wii U thing is kind of expected, but still.
