OXM: "Outside of references in the likes of Borderlands 2 and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Xbox history has been spotty, consisting of two so-so delisted XBLA games, and a substandard movie tie-in good for little more than a quick 1000 Gamerscore. So, you can imagine our trepidation right before checking out Red Fly Games’ take on Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Fortunately, our first look at Out of the Shadows has us more excited than we’ve been for a turtle-related game in quite some time."
Activision has pulled five games from digital storefronts, including a pair of Spider-Man games, a pair of TMNT games, and a Fast & Furious game.
Since it's not just Spider-man, it may not be a simple case of franchise rights moving to another publisher. Fast and the Furious and TMNT aren't owned by Marvel/ Disney.
Activision may simply be trying to push away from licensed franchise products
also the 2 worst ninja turtles games ever made, the recent nickelodeon games, atleast those had some of the charm of the tv series and old style tmnt games.
Spider man taking down because of the new one. These taken down because they are utter garbage.
Spider-man isn't being taken down because of the new one coming up. It's being taken down because just like TMNT and Fast & Furious, they are no longer willing to pay the digital licenses on most of their franchise products.

As a TMNT fan since childhood, I was in the minority of those who enjoyed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out Of The Shadows when it released last August for PC and Xbox 360. PS3 players have been waiting an extremely long time for the PSN version to release with no real updates – so long, in fact, that many believed the game was cancelled. Booting up my PlayStation 3 review copy after all this time felt a bit surreal, but when the awesome menu screen popped up, with the Turtles in their iconic poses from the first issue of the comic book, I was amped up to play through it again. There are definitely some problems here — including a practically unplayable online mode — but overall the game nails the TMNT vibe and backs it up with fun combat.
Push Square: "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows falls frustratingly short of its full potential. As a consequence, this is a completely mediocre brawler, which fails to do anything especially interesting with its parent property. This PS3 port may be more stable than its counterparts, but that doesn’t redeem its archaic gameplay and bland visuals."
The graphics look good, but I'm just wondering about the gameplay.
It looks awesome. Me want it now.
Why do their faces look like Goombas off of the Mario Bro's movie?
The Turtles aren't aliens in this game like they're supposed to be in the upcoming movie, are they?
Completely badass, can't wait for this:)
Still have reshelled on xbox and ps3 :P I still enjoyed it...but this looks pretty good even with the weirdly look turtles....they are scarier:P ahhaha
