It looks as though at least one new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game is heading to the DS, courtesy of Ubisoft, even though there is a small amount of confusion involved. Much of the uncertainty stems from a possible relation between a game reveal in Nintendo Power and a rating over at the OFLC.

According to the listing from the OFLC, one of the possible Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games is Turtles in Time: Reshelled, which has been rated for the DSi. Meanwhile, the latest edition of Nintendo Power has shed light on TMNT: Arcade Attack, also for the DS, but it may not be for the DSi. The question is, are these actually the same titles? It seems odd that both would be discovered in a similar time frame and may differ only in their names. Or is Ubisoft simply working on two different Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles titles? Either way, I’m sure we’ll find out what’s happening for sure in due time. For now though, you can check out the first details on Arcade Attack below.

Slowly but surely, more games are beginning to support the online capabilities of the Wii. Because of this, the developers of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash-Up understood that including Wi-Fi connectivity in their title would be important. Here’s what two developers of the game had to say in a developer diary regarding the online functionality in the game.

“Online I would say is everything to this title…Having online extends the replay value of the game infinitely. You can just play people everywhere.” – John Teymoorian, Assistant Producer

“The online is a big deal for fighting game fans…A lot more games on the Wii are suddenly becoming online and we know this was going to be very important for the fans” – Matt Leunig, Associate Producer


SAN FRANCISCO – August 27, 2009 – Ubisoft revealed today that it is releasing a follow-up to its critically acclaimed Jam Sessions video game with Jam Sessions 2 for the Nintendo DS(TM) and Nintendo DSi(TM) systems. Scheduled for release in Fall 2009 in North America, Jam Sessions 2 is a guitar game developed by Plato that makes improving your guitar skills fun and rewarding.

Each song in the gameplay mode serves a different role in advancing players’ guitar skills and songwriting abilities. By progressing through the songbook, players learn techniques that will help them play the guitar and write songs. Armed with their new skills, players can play, create and share their own original music with others.
