Was not expecting this so very happy, day one!
There's more stuff to be revealed they've said on Twitter more characters and stages are coming, as well as new music.

The trailer said new playable characters so there are definitely some that are unannounced.

I'd welcome all characters but if we're pulling stuff from outside the cartoon I'd rather they use Alopex instead of just another turtle.

It's one of the first early 80's "anthromorphics" comics, a genre better known as furry nowadays. Comic is actually pretty solid and you can read it online on certain sites of ill repute.
Afaik the character had a few crossover episodes in the original TNMT cartoon and the reboots. Turtles made a few guest appearances in the comic too.

I hope so. Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon (amazing game) just got a free update that is massive, adds new characters, modes, stages and gameplay modifiers and its only the first of 3 free updates.

Usagi Yojimbo?? Hell yeah. That's all I wanted from a DLC, i.e. new characters, costumes, modes ad story/levels.
Please let this be priced reasonably.

I did not like the base game enough to try this. It is strange, but the game felt like a chore instead of an exciting experience like the Konami beat 'em up games that inspired it. The shield ninjas broke immersion, the Triceratops waves bored me to tears, the collectibles were a detrimental addition, the cameos were throwaways, the surfing levels dragged, and there were too many levels with too much filler in them.
The only way I would get this is if they did a survival mode akin to Streets of Rage 4 with pickups and unlockables.

Like most beat'em ups the game is infinitely more fun if you have an entire group of people to play with. Even just 2 player co-op makes it feel much more fun. Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy it as much as myself and others have...

Woah... That actually looks awesome! I wonder if the turtles will have some unlockable moves or something?
Considering most of us thought this game was one and done it's brilliant to see it getting a big patch and DLC this year.

They missed a great opportunity.
Anyway, the game is fucking GOOOORGEOUS!!! GAWD DAMN!!
10/10 pixel art for sure. The whole artstyle is so ON POINT!
Gameplay is amazing as well. It's a true sequel to Turtles in Time.
It's an AAA indie game (quality wise) for sure.

Except Usagi is actually cool.

Tbh, I didn't think it was a one and done. Considering the game sold relatively well for a beatemup. And it's from the same team that did SOR4 and that got dlc. So I expect the same sort of deal with this as well.

What this game misses is that typical arcade pacing and length. I played it for about an hour and then put it aside. After 10 ish levels I just have enough. I much rather do a quick run of TMNT Arcade or In Time.
SoR4 has the same length as the other games in the series, it feels right. But TMNT SR, while a good package overall, feels bloated.

I am okay with games immitating Streets of Rage 4 as it is the king of replay value in this genre.

I'm kind of disappointed that playable villains are just power ups.

I read something about it being priced at 7.99 USD. I will probably pick up the bundle August 31 if they make it available in that format.
I would really love to play as Shredder, but that is about it. I have a feeling Karai will get a Shredder mod at some point.

I tried Dimension Shellshocked's Survival Mode and feel a bit bummed. Many pickups with the exception of boss juice, temporary attack speed boost, temporary invincible taunt, and crystals are taken directly from the main game. There is no powering up or elementally infusing different attacks, no traps/weapons to use, and no health items except if a player is lucky enough to get one at the end of the level. There does not seem to be anything unlockable that changes how characters are played. The stages themselves are aesthetically random with factory and missing comic book panel ones having particularly annoying hazards. Worst of all, the crystals to progress seem to drop randomly with many tougher enemies dropping nothing at all. It feels half-baked.
As far as the new characters added are concerned, they are a mixed bag. Usagi's animations look awesome but he is slow and lacks power. Karai on the other hand is a surprisingly fun addition with awesome specials and throws on top of agile attacks that erase enemies, but has some awkward stances in animation frames. It is sad to see Usagi get the short end of the stick relative to the rest of the cast and will hopefully get an adjustment or mod.
Is it worth $8? I don't know... For everything good in the DLC, there is something bad.

Interesting. I didn't think of this game getting an expansion, had they ever mentioned it?

Sounds like Karai is broken as Shiva in SOR4. Fitting cuz she was broken in Tournament Fighters which has her moves in this game.
