1. I PRAY this is true. The only game I've wanted more than this was the Simpsons Arcade game.

3. To #2: That youtube link is to a review of TMNT for the NES. That is NOT the arcade game. The TMNT arcade game is awesome and would be VERY, VERY welcome on my 360. Now if they could just bring the old X-men 6 player arcade game... And hell, Captain America and the Avengers, while we're at it.

4. As a long time Photo Shop user and XBLA fan it really looks like a scam to me. I cant exactly put my finger on why, but it dosent look real. The first thing that seemed off to me where the items in the menu list. It just seems wrongish... I'm with the rest of you I would love a 2d TMNT on XBLA but I'm not gonna get my hopes up yet.

5. I find it odd that the UBISOFT logo is on there. Were they even around when this game came out in arcades? That Simpson's movie comes out this summer. It would be a smart business move to release the arcade game around that time *hint hint.

6. The Turtle's arcade game was the very first co-op game I ever played and I f'n loved it.

God I hope this is real. And it still has 4-player co-op!

7. I get it for sure!

8. Why would the developers be playing around with a demo version? (The 'unlock full game' item is prsent on the menu). Just seemed a little strage...

10. It's real, I saw this on PartnerNet (the dev XBL) just a couple of days ago. It's looking pretty sweet.

11. Since when did XBLA games' menus have such pretty backgrounds? They all look just sort of blah!- this one looks TOO good.

Fake.

12. Not that you can make it out in the 'leaked' pics, but all the backgrounds are renders from the upcoming Turtles Movie.

13. hope the quality will be higher than Contra..
I was sooo desapointed.

14. "i saw a tag that stated tmnt had been rated by the esrb.........bring it on!!!!!!!"

The only rating up there currently is for the multiplatform, 3D title. There's nothing about this version.

15. Ubisoft has the Turtles license at the moment. Any release of TMNT on XBLA would have to be copublished with Ubisoft.

Just as any release of, for instance, Goldeneye, would require copublishing with Activision.

16. Do Ubisoft own the rights to ALL TMNT games, or only for the new movie?
If Konami still owns the rights to the cartoon TMNT, they could release it without Ubisoft´s permission.

17. Foppe. What's the difference. The first screenshot has both Ubi and Konami logos on it.

If they're real, then thats a legitimate thing, if they're fake, they're fake. Given that the stuff that's real just comes out whenever it feels like it, real or fake won't make this any more or less likely to show at any point in the immediate future.

18. At #1 and #2..

You both couldn't be more right on. My favorite arcade games as a kid were TMNT, Simpsons, and X-Men. Ofcourse I got to play TMNT at home when it was released as TMNT II for the NES. None of the X-Men or Simpsons console games come closed to their arcade counterparts.

19. if this is a prank.. there are some really cold motherf**ker out there...

20. Its real you jobronis, QA has to test both the locked demo versions, and full versions.

And it def is not Photoshoped, to the so-called long time user (most menus are done in Photoshop). Gamers sure are a cynical bunch....
