XBLA: TMNT: Turtles In Time Remake In The Works
This year is the 25th anniversary of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and currently there is a TMNT Road Tour Van crossing America.
According to the Ninja Pizza blog a remake of TMNT: Turtles In Time is currently in the works. The game is set up the game is currently in Alpha, and plans to be released on Xbox Live Arcade, with a possible Virtual Console release of the original in the works as well.
Ninja Pizza have also posted several screenshots of the game, including screens from "Alleycat Blues" and "Skull and Crossbones" levels. It's complete with the purple foot soldiers of yore, and it is certainly riding on the classic vibe of the original cartoon. According to the blog characters Tokka and Rahzar are in the "Skull and Crossbones" level, which is how the Arcade version was handled.
Considering the huge popularity of TMNT 1989 on Xbox Live Arcade it's not surprising to see more Ninja Turtle games showing up on the service, but a complete remake is more than expected, and it doesn't look too bad for an Alpha build.
Make your way to the Ninja Pizza blog for the other screenshots. I really hope this remake will end up being good.

Awesome news. Not to long ago I added this game to my SNES game Wishlist. Guess I can take it off and just get this version instead.

This is awesome, I played that game for so long in my childhood.
I'm expecting a 1200 MS point price.

They won't do it for more than 800 MS points. 1200 is too much for the average XBOX player.

Would be naive of you to assume it's going to be anything LESS than 1200 points. MS has moved on from the 800 point threshold, 1200 is the new 800.
