TMNT Game 2013 News: Before you go on a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles adventure this summer on XBLA, PSN and Steam, see the “party dude” in this new YouTube video.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows is set to hit Xbox Live Arcade, the PSN and Steam this summer. To help whet your appetite in the meantime, Activision and Red Fly Studio are shining a light on each of the video game’s varied personas that make up this formidable team of half-shell heroes.

Going along with this theme Activision has released a new video highlighting the youngest ninja turtle, Michelangelo. Always ready with a punch and a punchline, the orange draped Michelangelo puts a literal spin on the phrase “party animal.” He’s a fun loving foodie with an appetite for goofing off instead of training. Despite his lighthearted tone though and distaste for confrontation, Michelangelo is no less committed to the cause than this older brothers, whom he looks up to as role models.

True to his energetic and light personality, the nunchaku-wielding Michelangelo possesses by far the highest attack speed of any of his Turtle brethren, but also the lowest single target damage rating, standing in stark contrast to the more balanced set of Leonardo. Michelangelo relies on his ability to evade damage and quickly build up combos and special moves to take down foes before they can return the favor.

Take a look at the trailer below and tell us what you think. Will you be downloading Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows when it becomes available this summer?
