Whilst the 'white eyes' of the early promo shots and trailers have been ditched to give these turtles a greater resemblance to their Nickelodeon counterparts, their designs as a whole draw upon the unending depths of the characters' various iterations. It only contributes to the timeless nature of the ninjas, and in turn manages to make MIM even more appealing for generations of TMNT fans in the process.

Bright colours pop and flash across a contrasting darkened background, showcasing what is most likely the most artistic looking turtles title yet. Weapons glow in tune with the four brothers' signature bandannas, whilst arcade-style HUD elements cement the title's call-backs to past turtles excursions in the medium.

It all blends together seamlessly to further embed Platinum's commanding use of TMNT's source material, and shows that though it may not be a drama-laden triple-A release, fun and light-heartedness are being placed front and centre. Y'know, the key tenets that makes the Turtles so enjoyable in the first place.
