Bodacious downloadable arcade remake Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled will be pulled from sale in the US on June 30 due to the license expiring, publisher Ubisoft has confirmed to Joystiq. There's no word yet on what'll happen in other regions.

Re-Shelled remakes the 1991 arcade beat 'em up Turtles in Time in full 3D with support for online co-op. It was originally released in August 2009 on Xbox Live Arcade as part of Microsoft's 'Summer of Arcade' promotion, then hit PlayStation 3 that September.

If you fancy a trip down memory lane, you've got another week to get in and buy Re-Shelled. However, you might be surprised by how quickly it's all over when you're not having to beg your parents for their loose change.

      I remember pumping so much money into this game back in the day. There was a seafood restaurant we drove to and ate at every weekend when I was a kid, and they had this machine in the hallway out front. I usually never even sat down to eat.

        Heh, probably why your parents took you there every weekend.

      Fair warning I guess, I never bought it as I still have the original and haven't played it in years.

      I had a lot of fun playing this arcade game. I paid full price and because it took me down memory lane, it was worth it. I assume anyone who buys it now or had before, will be able to still play after June 30th?

      Yeah, that was so true of the first one, and even of X-Men. Only Gauntlet has been able to stand up to that measure. May just have to pick this one up. But, like others, I probably wouldn't play it after beating it a time or two.
