Rabbids making an appeance in TMNT: Smash-Up

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 2 Comments

At last, the teenage turtles and Rabbids can fight in the same arena. A demo of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash-Up, which was present at this year’s Japan Expo in France, confirms that at least two variations of the Rabbids will be playable in the game. This isn’t the biggest surprise in the world considering that the Rabbids have become an IP for Ubisoft, but some will probably feel that the little beasts serve as a nice addition. While a typical Rabbid can be selected, there was also some sort of Sam Fisher-like Rabbid as well.

Over the Top has ideas for a NyxQuest sequel

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments

“We have a lot of gameplay situations, enemies and powers that are still in the drawing board! Hopefully those will see the light in the next chapters of NyxQuest. First we want to see how well the game is received by the players.” – Over the Top’s Roberto Alvarez de Lara

North America has yet to see the release of NyxQuest as of yet, but I’m anticipating the game’s arrival. Hopefully the game will be as good as some have claimed it to be. If it turns out to be a decent WiiWare title, I’d be up for a sequel for sure.

Thanks to Justin S for the news tip!
