Activision has shared first screenshots and details for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Danger of the Ooze, a new game for 3DS (and the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360). WayForward is handling development.
Danger of the Ooze is a new side-scrolling action-adventure release which bridges the gap between season 2 and season 3 of Nickelodeon’s animated program. It features 2D fighting and platforming gameplay with the 3D art direction of the TV series.
Other details published by Activision today:
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Danger of the Ooze brings together new locations, allies and threats! The game quickly heats up as Shredder, Tiger Claw and a new army of mutants threaten the streets of New York, forcing Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo to take action into their own hands. The game’s distinguishing feature is its vast, interconnected, non-linear game world, which rewards exploration and creative thinking. Powers, upgrades and equipment scattered across New York and Dimension X opens up new environments to traverse, secrets to discover and bosses to battle.
All four Turtles can be swapped between freely throughout the adventure, and each has his own unique rhythm, with specialized stats, strengths and skills. Combat is fast-paced, emphasizing the gang’s martial arts prowess through attack and item combos, counters and finishers, but also provides tools for stealth-based approaches to avoid or tackle enemies.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Danger of the Ooze will launch later this year.

Nintendo put up listings for the various Amiibo figures on its online store today. What’s particularly interesting is that each page includes a “November” release date.
As many of you know, Nintendo has said that Super Smash Bros. for Wii U will release alongside Amiibo. Might this mean that the game will launch in November?
