TMNT Named as 2013 National Toy Hall of Fame Finalist

Tweet

The National Toy Hall of Fame has announced the 12 finalists, including the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, to be inducted into its class of 2013.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book was originally self-published by two struggling artists to satirize comic book heroes and action figures in the early 1980s. However the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles found themselves transformed into comic book and play icons, transmedia pioneers, and an enduring popular cultural sensation known as “Turtlemania”—generating toys, television shows, movies, video games, and merchandise over the past 25 years.

The winners are being chosen in part through an online poll. Winners will be announced Thursday, November 7, 2013.

The other finalists are Bubbles, Chess, Clue, Fisher-Price Little People, Little Green Army Men, Magic 8 Ball, My Little Pony, Nerf Toys, Pac-Man, Rubber Duck, and Scooter.

TMNT: Out of the Shadows Patch Released for Steam Players

Tweet

A patch has been released for the Steam version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. After its debut last month, players complained of various bugs that occurred during game play. This patch is hopefully a fix for most of those bugs. The Out of the Shadows team notes, "This is a fairly large update, so make sure to give it time to fully download. You can track the progress within Steam by navigating to Library/Downloads."

The PS3 version of the game, originally scheduled for September 24, has been delayed until an undetermined date, presumably to address the same problems players faced with the Steam and Xbox versions of the game.

With our attention firmly focused on the upcoming launch of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows on the PlayStation Network, it has become clear to us that the PSN version will take longer than we originally anticipated, and as such, the game will not be available on September 24.

While the reason for the delay is vague, it is implied that the developers are still working out some bugs. No new release date has yet been provided.
