TMNT Smash-Up!
A game that has and will always have a division reputation among the fanbase, TMNT Smash-Up was a semi-high profile Ubisoft release for the Wii and Playstation 2 in the fall of 2009. I got a lot of enjoyment out of it, but there are a number of things about the game that seem like missed opportunities to embrace the full-spectrum of the Turtles universe and distinguish it from superior franchises like Nintendo's Smash Bros. Despite not being based on a particular cartoon or movie, it sticks close to the character designs for the 2007 Imagi movie with voice acting from the cast of the 4Kids cartoon series.
I liked the advertising campaign for the game, and this is a clipping of a comic book's back cover. Additionally, Ubisoft promoted the game at game conventions with some cool mini-posters that echo the style seen here, spotlighting individual characters with an inter-connecting "VS" aesthetic to simulate match-ups. I have two of those mini-posters in storage (somewhere), so maybe I can share those sometime.
