One of the early 2025 leftovers that somehow got lost in the shuffle, but much like Breakers itself, it’s better late than never. No gripes about the timing of this stuff… though plenty of gripes about everything else.
Expect more of this stuff down the road.
Yeah, it’s real. Yeah, it’s not the same as before.
But a guy/gal with a whip fighting monsters… and you can strike the whip in multiple directions?
And it’s not restricted to Playstation?
Sold.
Happy Friday The 13th, everyone! To celebrate the occasion, those snake oil merchants at Limited Run are re-releasing the NES adaptation of… Jaws… yes, they’re bringing back JAWS… or JAWLS if you want to go by the Chris Bores enunciation.
I reviewed the NES original (weird to type that out) back in 2013. I’ve embedded the video here for the sake of convenience. Should hold you over until the next review pops up later today.
Of course, this conveniently comes along as Limited Run announced that they were delisting their Jurassic Park Collection from digital storefronts at the end of March. Game preservation my ass.
I know nothing about the Spider-Man Noir that this is based on… but you know what, I’m intrigued by this. And I like the fact that you can either watch it in color or in black and white… the latter as your wormhole aliens intended, I’m sure.
Spider-Noir premieres on MGM+ May 25th, with Prime Video getting it a couple days later. Genuinely looking forward to this one.

Long story short – if you like weight-challenged wrestlers, this is the Nitro for you. Otherwise, see you next week.

Imagine calling yourself Super and not quite living up to the moniker. That’s Super Valis IV in a nutshell… but is it a genuinely bad game or is it just a matter of tarnished reputations? A good question that this video does not answer, but it does bring this journey through the Valis series to a close.
Hey, you know what? I thoroughly enjoyed the trip through that series and was happy to explore most of the nook and crannies of that series. Maybe some day, I’ll stomach up the effort to go through the Valis computer games and turn those into videos, but that’s for much later down the road when I feel like doing MSX videos again.
I never watch the Super Bowl. I’m not a football fan. Never cared for football unless it was Tecmo Bowl back in the 90s and that was a brief sling before moving on and never looking back. The only reason I would consider watch would be for the commercials, but once I’ve learned that Canadian broadcasting rights and laws and whatnots prevent us from watching the commercials people actually want to watch, what was even the point?
Truth be told, Sunday was a pretty bad day for me as a whole. Wasn’t feeling all that great in the morning and then I fell asleep around six-ish, only to wake up at one in the morning… which is depressing. I did a couple quick things late at night before heading back to bed for a couple more hours before getting on with my day.
For what it’s worth, I’m feeling fine. I haven’t been feeling that much pain as of late, which is nice. I’ve gained a couple pounds, which is not so nice. Other than that… eh, I guess it could have been worse. But I’d like it to be actually better for once. Would be nice.
You know what? The last one came in late, so you get this one early. My treat… or is it a trick?
The final chronological entry in the Valis series… and I’d imagine the take in this video is going to be pretty controversial, though I honestly don’t believe that to be the case. I like to think I’ve been honest and… well, honest, at least.
Oh well… Wednesday’s video will be our last dip into Valis territory with Super Valis IV… fitting that it would be the final Valis game ever released until 2006 where…
Actually, never mind. It’s the final Valis game ever released until these collections came along. Nothing else happened before that. Ever.

Yeah, so 2027 is supposed to see the original 1977 theatrical cut of Star Wars return to theaters for a limited run of sorts… which is actually something of a big deal considering that for decades, George Lucas had resisted the idea of showing that original cut, insisting that only his updated versions be used since they were the canonical versions of Star Wars. As a result, all people had to work with were old laserdiscs and perhaps that 2006 limited edition release.
Yeah, there were despecialized editions and fan edits… but those are still altered versions. They’re illegitimate solutions at best. The fact that Disney decided to go this route… you know what? That’s a big deal. In fact, it may be the first time in a long while that anything involving Star Wars feels like a genuine, honest-to-goodness big deal event. The last time I might have had this feel was possibly the release of The Force Awakens, before Star Wars became a content machine for Disney to gut.
No details on how this would transpire… not sure if this cut will make it to Disney Plus or any semblance of physical media… but it’s something.
Oh, and there’s a new Starfighter movie coming around that time as well… whatever floats your boat, I guess.
Speaking of Starfighter… I need to dig up that game.
100 Years Of NBC… and 26 years of pretending that Conan O’Brien never got the Tonight Show… I guess they couldn’t find two clips of Big Jaw to add to that montage.
Never letting that go, by the way…
Oh well… at least they remembered that Star Trek was a thing… that they cancelled… TWICE.
Happy birthday, NBC.
Now go fuck yourselves.
