'TMNT: Shredder's Revenge' Adds April O'Neil to Roster

Normally seen on the sidelines, intrepid reporter and friend to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, April O'Neil will be playable in the upcoming brawler Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge! The news was announced by publisher Dotemu during Gamescom Opening Night Live 2021, who also released a new trailer for the highly-anticipated new TMNT video game, set to be released on PC, Nintendo Switch and consoles in 2022.


The trailer shows off gameplay of April, who, as a playable character, can swing her bag and keep up with the turtle crew, making her a valuable part of the team. Further, players can look forward to being revived with a slice of pizza from their friends. One of the coolest moves April has is a mic drop.


Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge will feature April O’Neil, star reporter and beloved ally to the heroes in a half shell, as a playable fighter when the game launches on Nintendo Switch and PC in 2022.

April unleashes flurries of hits against the Foot Clan’s devious soldiers. Her agility and far-reaching slide kicks help her close in on targets quickly, and she once again proves the turtles can rely on her unwavering support, even through slices of pizza.

Below is the original announcement for TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge Coming to Nintendo Switch, Kicks Shell in New Gameplay Trailer

PARIS (April 14, 2021) - Publisher Dotemu and developer Tribute Games in partnership with Nickelodeon today announced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is bringing its classically inspired brawling action to Nintendo Switch.

During the Nintendo Indie World Showcase, Tribute Games Co-Founder Jean-Francois Major and Dotemu CEO Cyrille Imbert confirmed the heroes in a half shell are chasing the Foot Clan to Switch before sharing new gameplay.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge’s lively battles are backed by original music from Tee Lopes, a composer and arranger previously featured in Sonic Mania, League of Legends, and Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom among other releases. A sample of Lopes’ wickedly energetic melodies can be heard in today’s gameplay trailer.
 
Inspired by the Turtles’ iconic 1987 design, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge brings New York City’s most righteous ninjas to life with gorgeous pixel art that’d look right at home in your favorite retro arcade. From showdowns with infamous rivals like Bebop and Rocksteady to returns to signature locales like Dimension X, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is a bodacious celebration of classic TMNT beat-em-ups with its own modern touches.
 
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge joins two retro gaming experts: Dotemu, the developer and publisher known for faithful ports as well as impeccable remakes and continuations of beloved gaming series including Streets of Rage 4, the smash hit nominated for Best Action game at The Game Awards 2020, as well as the upcoming Windjammers 2 and highly lauded Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap; and Tribute Games, the studio behind retro-themed original IPs including Panzer Paladin, Flinthook and Mercenary Kings which embody the spirit of classic games in new experiences.

'iCarly' Revival Showrunner Ali Schouten Teases 'Cliffhanger' Finale and Ideas for Season 2

It's been a roller coaster of a season for Miranda Cosgrove's Carly in the iCarly revival: She got dumped, restarted her web show, and was called a bitch by Marcia Brady (okay, it was Christine Taylor's character, Argentina). But the ups and downs aren't over yet. As showrunner Ali Schouten revealed to Entertainment Weekly, Thursday's season 1 finale is going to take fans for a ride — and they'd better watch out for a cliffhanger.


In the finale, Carly and the gang will return to Webicon, the internet convention we've seen in the original series. There, they run into a familiar face in Beau (Conor Husting), Carly's fellow content creator who broke up with her in the pilot. In an clip from the episode here, we see Carly's new beau Wes (Josh Plasse) and her ex-beau Beau compete for her affections while arguing about camp provisions.

Below, Schouten opens up about what fans can expect from the season 1 finale, the future of Creddie (Carly and Freddie's ship name, according to fans), season 2 plans, the Gibby of it all, and more.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: I'm so excited for the finale! What can fans expect?

ALI SCHOUTEN: We obviously wanted to go really big for the finale, so we tried to hit all the different elements that I think our fans are really responding to. In that last episode ["iCan Fix it Myself"], a little piece of nostalgia, a little bit of reference to an episode of iCarly from the original series. We tried to hit some serialized elements, some of the relationships for our characters, some career stuff for our characters. And then we also wanted a big, crazy setting for it. So I'm excited, because I think we hit all of that. There's heart, there's hopefully plenty of humor, as usual. When we shot this, it was the week we started airing, so we could even make little tweaks based on what people were responding to.

What's one instance of that in the finale, where audience reaction had an influence?

I mean, we saw how much people appreciated when we would show love for the original iCarly. The episode is something that's very current, but it's framed in the direction of an original episode.

How do you think people who ship Freddie [Nathan Kress] and Carly will respond to the finale?

I'm excited to see the response, and we're in the [writers'] room now for season 2; let us know what you think, we might be able to listen. But Carly's love life is amping up. There's a character named Wes that she's now in a relationship with, and this next episode is going to test that relationship in more ways than one. What I found so far from my joy scrolling is that the Seddies [fans who shipped Freddie and Jennette McCurdy's Sam in the original iCarly] love Wes and the Creddies hate Wes. I think we're going to get a lot of feedback on this upcoming episode. And I'm sure some people are going to love it, hate it, all of the above. For those who are invested in Carly's love life, this will be a very juicy episode in one way or the other.

How does the finale lead into season 2, especially as season 1 was very much about the characters starting over and figuring things out?

At the beginning of season 1, Carly gets out of this relationship and finds herself not knowing what to do. She goes back to doing iCarly but has to do it on her own. And season 2, we want to explore more what that means. She's gotten wrapped up in her personal life, and so we're going to answer that in season 2. We do set up — I don't want to give too much away — a bit of a cliffhanger at the end of season 1 that will definitely be resolved at the top of season 2, and in a very iCarly way that has to do with the web show, and maybe not how you might expect. That's what we're thinking right now. We'll see what people think when they watch.

This season the show has tackled pretty current issues, like predatory MLMs and toxic girlboss culture. Are there any subjects you want to tackle in season 2?

One thing that I feel like we didn't get to do as much of as we hoped was, what does it mean to be a woman on the internet? And that goes for famous and non-famous women alike. It might change because we're right at the beginning of the writers' room, but that's the thing that we're hoping to tackle even in episode 1, coming back. Originally, Carly was the first of her kind, she was one of the first content creators — now they're everywhere. This is just an existence people have, and the life that they live. And a lot of people will be able to relate to even being semi-public, even just having their personal social media out there and judged and commented on. And women in particular face a certain set of challenges that Carly would be facing, and that we should and will be looking at.

Miranda has said she would love to have characters like Lewbert [Jeremy Rowley] or T-Bo [Boogie] come back in the future. Can you talk about any characters you'd like to revisit in season 2?

Yeah, those names are at the top of our list too. I love having characters from the original back. It's so fun. We definitely want Mary Scheer back to play Mrs. Benson. Her dynamic with our characters is so much fun, particularly we've been finding a lot of fun with her and Millicent [Jaidyn Triplett], and her and Carly. That sleepover episode was just a blast to shoot. And it was a blast having Nevel [Reed Alexander], so we are very open to people who want to come back. That's a big part of it too, is gauging the interest and then trying to come up with the most creative way to have them.

I know a ton of fans were really gung-ho on having Gibby [Noah Munck] and Sam back. Is the door open at all for them to appear in season 2, or are they probably not going to be involved at this point?

I don't know, it's always a wait-and-see thing. It would be awesome, and it also is the thing where — especially with [the iCarly spin-off] Sam & Cat happening [in 2013-2014] — their story lines were really capped off in nice ways. So I think it's an either-or. We'd love it if they wanted to come back, and we also are happy to have that loop close — whatever's best for this version of the show.

You've had really fun guest stars this season, from Christine Taylor to Josie Totah. Is there anybody else you'd love to have on next season?

Oh my gosh, I'd love to have Josie back. And I think that Jerry wants [an appearance] from his best friend Socko, who we never met. I would love to have Victoria Justice back on in any incarnation that she wants to be in. That'd be really cool. And then of course, if Michelle Obama wants to drop by again, I guess we could try and find a part for her. [Laughs]

I definitely picked up vibes between Harper [Laci Mosley] and Spencer [Jerry Trainor] — is there anything romantic in the future for them?

When we initially conceived of the character [Harper], yes, that was something we were thinking. Then we just really liked them as friends, but then also they have this undeniable chemistry, but now he's dating her cousin [Lyric Lewis]. It's just very complicated. And one thing that iCarly has always done well is the slow burn, and another thing is the "maybe we're better off as friends," so I could see it going either way. But even if they're just friends that have that amazing chemistry, we're going to keep pairing them together because they're so fun to watch. Jerry and Lacey are just kind of magic.

Producer Franchesca Ramsey mentioned Carly's line mentioning "hos" was changed to "You gotta switch it up on a bitch," because of standards and practices. What was anything else you had to cut that was deemed a little too out-there?

We were talking about it the other day, and we think we had to cut something having to do with mushrooms. I don't remember which character was mentioning it or taking them but somebody was like, "No, no, we couldn't do mushrooms the last season." But for the most part, nothing's really been that off-limits. Franchesca pointed out when she was finding out that we weren't allowed to say "hos" but we could say "bitch," which feels absolutely arbitrary. But they always work with us; standards is pretty good with us. 

I loved Miranda revisiting her "interesting…" meme in "iFauxpologize." Whose idea was it to reference that?

Oh gosh, it definitely came from the writers' room. But she came in and said, "I want to do something with memes." We couldn't not do it, and then [writer Nasser Samara] came in with this pitch for the episode that really got into what it means to be memed, and he knew we wanted a brother-sister episode, and so we put that together. We knew it would be fun for people, we had no idea. I'm waiting to see people use the Millicent meme. I really think she is so great in that scene when she does her own little "interesting" [meme]. She's a sort of similar character in some ways to [Cosgrove's character] Megan from Drake & Josh, so I'm expecting that one to have its own life.

Mumbai: The Nickelodeon franchise entertains millions of young fans across India and continues to inculcate right values in kids by breaking stereotypes and redefining norms through their shows and initiatives. Being a pioneer in bringing alive the true spirit of Rakshbandhan, the country’s leading kids’ entertainment channel is back with its iconic campaign – Surakshabandhan – to celebrate and recognize the selfless efforts of healthcare workers across the country.

Raksha Bandhan, Raksha Bandhan, also Rakshabandhan, is a popular, traditionally Hindu, annual rite, or ceremony, which is central to a festival of the same name celebrated in South Asia, and in other parts of the world significantly influenced by Hindu culture. The festival is a celebration of any brother-sister like relationship.

A few days ahead of the festival, in an effort to pay tribute to the medical personnel and show gratitude, Nickelodeon joined hands with Slam Out Loud, a Delhi-based not-for-profit organisation to curate DIY Nickelodeon-themed rakhis for the healthcare workers and recognize their selfless service. As part of the initiative, Slam Out Loud, an organisation that uses the power of arts to build creative confidence amongst children from disadvantaged communities, conducted a 1-hour workshop with 40 kids from Swadhar (Pune) to make their favourite Nicktoon-themed handmade rakhis.

The kids also wrote heart-warming gratitude notes and cards for the medical personnel thanking them for their work and praying for their safety. Nicktoons Shiva and Rudra became the messengers of ‘thank you’ and tied rakhis to the medical staff at Wockhardt Hospitals to show love, respect, and gratitude.

Through this initiative, Nickelodeon set out to create awareness amongst children on the selfless efforts of healthcare workers and how they have been pushing the envelope to keep everybody safe and protected. The doctors and nurses who received the rakhis were really touched by the gesture.

Nicktoon Dora gave a heart-warming tribute to the medical staff at Wockhardt Hospital, Mumbai Central for their campaign Surakshabandhan and tied handmade rakhis made by kids from Swadhar Pune.

Dr Parag Rindani, Regional Head, Wockhardt Hospital said, “We are glad to associate with Nickelodeon to tie Rakhi – a band of Suraksha to our doctors and the clinical staff for their remarkable contribution during these trying times and to celebrate the true spirit of 'Surakshabandhan' during the ongoing pandemic. We hope that this activity will relieve stress, fear and divert the attention of our Doctors and medical staff who are protecting us ever since the pandemic hit us.”

The initiative will be promoted on digital media and through a robust program of mommy networks and influencers who will amplify the reach to audiences at large. Moreover, the initiative will be brought to life on social media through engaging content and contest for kids encouraging them to share pictures of their DIY rakhis. Additionally, the brand is imploring kids to create a chain of messages for the medical personnel and curate the longest rakhi message using social media features.


In 2017, Nickelodeon celebrated Surakshabandhan with India’s elite Border Security Force (BSF) at Wagah Border, wherein children along with their favourite toons Dora the Explorer and Shiva tied the symbolic Rakhi to the soldiers at the iconic retreat ceremony, thus saluting their selflessness, bravery, and relentless commitment to the country.
