We Really Want To See This Turn-Based TMNT Game Come To Switch

It's been almost three months since we last saw a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game lined up for release on the Nintendo Switch, and with 2025 well underway, it's starting to feel like an eternity. However, there is one title that's definitely worth keeping an eye out for: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown, a turn-based strategy game from developer Strange Scaffold.

Strange Scaffold may not be a household name just yet, but their previous releases - including Sunshine Shuffle and An Airport for Aliens Currently Run by Dogs - have shown promise, and we're excited to see what they can do with this new TMNT project. Tactical Takedown is set to hit PC on May 22nd, but we can't help but wonder if it'll make its way to the Switch in the future.

In Tactical Takedown, players will take control of Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo as they embark on a mission to take down the Foot Clan. The game is all about strategy, rather than mindless hack-and-slash action, with each Turtle having their own unique abilities that will be key to success.

For example, Raphael can deal damage to groups of foes, while Donatello can unleash a flurry of drones to rain down fury on his enemies. Meanwhile, the other two Turtles have their own special moves that will come in handy during battles. The game's grid-based action is reminiscent of tabletop games, and we're loving the table-top-esque visual style that's been drawn from the comics.

So what do we see here that makes us think Tactical Takedown could be a great fit for the Switch? For starters, the game's relatively straightforward visuals are perfect for a console like Nintendo's hybrid. We've seen the Switch handle turn-based titles with ease in the past, and it's no stranger to TMNT games either - after all, who doesn't love a good TMNT title on the Switch?

Take a look at the screens from Tactical Takedown's Steam page for yourself. Are you starting to see some Switch potential? We can only imagine what Strange Scaffold might do with this game if they were to release it on Nintendo's hybrid console.

We're keeping our fingers crossed that Tactical Takedown will make its way to the Switch in 2025 - or at least sooner rather than later. Do you want to see TMNT: Tactical Takedown on the Switch? Let us know in the comments!
