Magic: The Gathering's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Is The Most Video Gamey Set Ever

Magic: The Gathering's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Is The Most Video Gamey Set Ever https://ift.tt/iWyFVY8 The echoing, digitized delivery of the phrase " Big Apple, 3 a.m. " is something that's burned into my brain. My friends and I blasted through that first level of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time hundreds of times, beating up foot-clan dorks, grabbing pizzas, and falling in open manholes. So when Wizards of the Coast released its Magic: The Gathering TMNT set as part of its Universes Beyond brand, finding the card named Big Apple, 3 a.m. scratched exactly the nostalgic itch I was hoping it would. What I didn't expect was how deeply the TMNT video games--which compose a pretty big chunk of the entire TMNT brand, it has to be admitted--inform how the set works and what it does.

As is immediately noticeable, the visual style of Sparking Zero is top-notch, from the main menu to the heat of battle. Every character moves and fights fluidly, and the small scenes that play during a successful ultimate attack are a delight, which makes connecting with those moves even more exhilarating. In particular, attacks like the Point-Blank Kamehameha performed by Ultra Instinct Goku's Sign form--the animation complete with scenes ripped right from the anime--are amazing to close out a match with.
