Indeed, they go way back. And Stan Sakai was also a letterer fof Groo, would love to see Groo dlc even if a long shot. Would be good marketing for Sergio, I bet he'd consider it.

And long shot or not, when i suggested a dream fight of Popeye vs One Punch Man on Death Battle, somebody liked the idea to make it into a show, so who knows? :)

Facts. It's all good

Fun fact : chien means dog in french

Pin this!

isn't that Usagi cartoon intended as a next-generation sort of thing, where it isn't Miyamoto Usagi but his son or future descendant? Mostly to have a less-violent, kid-friendly, stand-alone series that doesn't rely on his father/ancestor's story to follow up.

@@SorcererLance Yes on most of those things. But at least in the first season, Miyamoto's legacy is an important plot element. He also appears a few times. And New-sagi tells anyone who'll listen that he's Miyamoto's descendant.

@@finalunusedname I'd suppose so, but it's somewhat like Legend of Korra not *necessarily* needing to watch Avatar: The Last Airbender to understand things

@SorcererLance I confess, my original understanding was it's a reinterpretation of Usagi for a younger audience in a new, future setting. That's what I meant by the series being very loosely based on the comic. Given that it was for a younger audience, I haven't watched it. So I'll assume you're right. That said, it's still Usagi Yojimbo media, so again, it's something

Thats some very cool little details, I dig it!

Both IPs came out in 1984

@@Boogie_the_cat My memory might be a bit rusty but i think it was just the UK that was against 'ninja' in the TMNT name and that didn't kick in until the turtles got localized here so there's a good chance Samurai Warrior got in just before we started getting weird about about the word 'ninja's'. Also wouldn't be at all surprised if the people in charge had any idea what a Samurai was in the late 80's...or even now.

@@Haysey_Draws Yeah, the Turtles didn't really hit the UK til 1990 and the word Ninja had been associated with 'video nasties' including nunchucks (in 1988 another 14 mostly ninja-related weapons would be banned too) which is why all Mikey's fight scenes would get cut (Panthro of the ThunderCats had many of his scenes cut too) and Mikey would gradually favour the grappling hook in later seasons of the cartoon. Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon (as well as a TON of Ninja-themed movies) had made nunchucks pretty popular and supposedly adults and kids alike were injuring themselves swinging them about. Strangely enough though the Turtles movies got to keep 'Ninja' in the name (since an age rating could be applied to cinema unlike a TV show), nunchuck scenes were still cut. Including in Secret of the Ooze where Mikey uses...sausages...as nunchucks... Because lots of injuries and fatalities caused by swinging sausages? The silly censorship was lifted in 1999 and that's why the 2003 incarnation of the Ninja Turtles kept the name and the nunchucks. Nunchucks were also banned in some US states but allowed to be shown on TV. Some of those bans have since been lifted (such as New York in 2018). Samurai never had the same notoriety or popularity as ninjas did in 70s and 80s media so never faced the same censorship.

It’s also worth bearing in mind that home computer games were a much more niche market in the ‘80s, at least in the UK; a Saturday morning cartoon and toy line, precision engineered for the juvenile hypothalamus, was a much bigger concern for the pearl-clutching legislators. It’s absurd to us mighty spacemen of the future, but the broad cultural impression of home computers was something akin to a glorified electric typewriter. I vaguely remember the Amstrad game, which was utterly incomprehensible to my unwrinkled baby brain. I VIVIDLY remember getting in trouble for jamming an embroidered Turtles patch into the floppy drive of our CPC6128

It's Usagi Miyamoto, Usagi Yojimbo is the comics name at all, hence the reason of why it should wield two katana instead than only one though.

Or... they could simply just include it in the base game.

​@@ibechuu9695Or you can just spend less than $10 on content that's cool but not a necessity for your Beat-em-up game.

They need to update SOR4 like this

​@@charlesg1713sor4 has mr x nightmare. They literally started the trend of beatemups having roguelike survival side modes

@@milosmisic89 but it doesn’t allow you to play with as many people online as TMNT. If you want a full party you have to be on one system. Where as with TMNT you can have a full party online. This is what SOR4 should do.

Came here to say that. The Archie Comics TMNT were my whole life growing up!

He got a new spinoff

He had a game. In 1988. So yes, time for a new one. :P

i remember that guy vaguely. I think he did some kind of bad breath attack to knock out shredder

You mean Bellybomb?

Oh snap that's it. Thanks.@@freakyfornash

No worries, fans of the 87 series know all too well who Lord Dregg is. It was pretty cool seeing him return in the 2012 series.

Was pretty cool that they did a version of Dregg in the 2012 cartoon.

I second this

I'd love to see them add her or even Alopex. Both of them are such cool looking foxes, they'd be really fun to see. I didn't even know about Ninjara until seeing her in the background like this, but I do love her design and Hothead's as well

The rights might be a bit odd with that one. Steve Murphy as Dean Clarrain created the character but it is uncertain who holds the rights after his death. It might be Archie, it might be Steve's estate (she was an indie comic character entirely unrelated to the TMNT for a bit, having a notable one-off run in Furrlough) or it might be Viacom. Alopex is far more likely to show up since she was the Ninjara alternative that Viacom owns free and clear.

Maybe try the survival mode? It was insanely fun.

You can play as the bosses in survival mode

Yes, this was a new file. Everyone's pretty leveled up on my PS5 version. But I was given early access to the DLC, but only on the steam version.

The only way i was able to beat him was using the little attack you get after the double jump while he was doing that blue attack where he summons the bosses. It's basically chip damage, so it takes a while, but it works.

@@maestroquebrado2259 I managed to beat him 5 times but each time was way too close. I've been trying to save up specials but they either miss or don't connect. I've been resorting to antiair+air dive combo whenever I can. More so when he's summoning bosses. I really feel he should be slowed down or have a distinct vulnerable point. When he summons bosses sometimes he manifests 3 and other times he does 4. It's always so sudden when he goes into that orb shield.

Well, his name is Miyamoto Usagi, so calling him Usagi is using his name.
