GTA Online's Version Of The Grinch Is Here To Steal Christmas And Your Wallet

ROM Hack Combines TMNT: Shredder's Revenge With Streets Of Rage 2
Someone going by the name of Savok managed to merge Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge with Streets of Rage 2, creating Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Re-Revenge. The reception has been extremely positive, a recent review calling the mod a “beautiful hack with interesting game changes.” According to the reviewer, “the sprites from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge work very well in the Streets of Rage 2 engine. I like that the stages are basically the same, but they still made some creative changes.” The reviewer in question, Peacefighter, went on to describe how “these kinds of little changes help to make this hack feel like something ‘new’ rather than just a reskin like most other Streets of Rage 2 hacks.”
