As of today, Dora the Explorer and SpongeBob have four new brothers. Or four new pets, depending on how you look at it. Nickelodeon has acquired the global rights for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for $60 million. Considered one of the most successful franchises in the past 25 years, the Turtles have had a successful run in cartoons, movies, toy lines, and of course video games.

Keeping with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles revival Ubisoft has been cooking up this past year about, particularly Turtles in Time Re-Shelled, the company has just announced a DS counterpart subtitled Arcade Attack.

The portable game will feature a similar style of arcade beat-em-up gameplay like Re-Shelled and also previous classic Gameboy installments; sweetening the deal is local wireless co-op play.

TMNT: Arcade Attack will be out this holiday season.
