September 3, 2009 | 4:05 PM PST

As we reported a few days ago, there is a new arcade-style Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game coming to the Nintendo DS, thanks to Ubisoft. And just as we predicted, it wasn't long before they released something official about it.
A variety of artwork, cutscenes, and screenshots have now been added to the game's gallery here on Kombo, but that's not everything; we still encourage you to check out the newest issue of Nintendo Power (vol. 246) for even more art and screens.
For now, though, here is what Ubisoft had to say about the game in their latest press release. And if you're attending the Penny Arcade Expo this weekend, take note of the fact that an early version of the game will be available to play there:
UBISOFT KICKS SOME SHELL WITH TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES(TM): ARCADE ATTACK
Classic Beat-Em-Up Gameplay Coming Exclusively to Nintendo DS(TM)
SAN FRANCISCO - September 3, 2009 - Ubisoft today announced that it will be releasing an all new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(TM) adventure game in honor of the 25th anniversary of the brand. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Arcade Attack, developed exclusively for Nintendo DS(TM) system, has an original storyline and is a side-scrolling beat-'em-up game. It is a tribute to the original coin-op classics that made the Turtles into video game legends. The game pits the four Ninja Turtle brothers against their old nemesis, Shredder, and his many villainous henchmen.
"The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 25th anniversary 'shell-ebration' is
quickly turning into a Turtle fan's dream, especially if they love video
games," said Gary Richardson, CEO of Mirage Studios. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Arcade Attack will absolutely thrill the old school Turtle fan, especially the ones that recall putting in countless hours at the arcade, as well as the newer fan who loves ninja action."
"Gamers all over the world recall the countless hours of fun these types of arcade games provided," said Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Arcade Attack plans to recapture that nostalgia and add an entirely new level of sophistication. Given the success of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled, as well as the excitement for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash-Up, we believe that Arcade Attack truly completes the TMNT experience."
Available this Holiday, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Arcade Attack will feature an all-new combination system, enabling players to string together uppercuts and roundhouse kicks to unlock a series of moves powerful enough to take out even the strongest enemy. In addition, the game will include a cooperative mode, allowing for arcade action with either a friend via local
wireless, or a system-controlled Turtle brother.
TMNT fans will be able to play an early version of the game by visiting the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Party Bus, which will be located at the entrance of the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle, WA, from Friday, September 4th through Sunday, September 6th.
