Eh, this isn't fundamentally anything new. Every decade or so comes with a new iteration of the Ninja Turtles, each of which comes with a generally different style and art direction. Shredder's Revenge, however, was made fully with the 80s series in mind, hence why it looked so familiar. And unlike most nostalgia bait shit produced today, it was made with clear love and respect for the cartoon (and the classic arcade game adaptations it got).
