In other news, the sky is blue.
Seriously, does it really matter at this point? Two companies are going nowhere fast, so what’s the worse that could happen, right?

In a move that everyone saw coming, Nintendo has announced the SNES Classic Edition, which is essentially a miniature SNES-looking Plug-N-Play system with twenty one built-in SNES classics as well as TWO SNES controllers – the original NES Classic Edition only included one controller.
What makes this system a sweet deal is what’s on the console. Twenty-one games might not seem like a whole lot, but this is truly a matter of quality over quantity and the game selection is top-notch stuff indeed. Not only are you getting the usual Nintendo classics such as Super Mario World/Kart/RPG, Super Metroid, and even Kirby Super Stars, not only are you getting some of the finest third-party offerings such as Contra III, Super Castlevania IV, and Final Fantasy III (VI), but you’re also getting the never-before-released StarFox 2.
For those in the emulation and homebrew scene, you might’ve already played that one… but for many gamers who have never dabbled in that scene, this will be the first time they’d experience the game in any real official capacity. That alone adds value to the SNES Classic Edition, which is looking to be a solid offering indeed.
Let’s just hope Nintendo makes more than five copies worldwide.
The following games are said to be included…
Contra III: The Alien Wars
Donkey Kong Country
EarthBound
Final Fantasy III
F-ZERO
Kirby Super Star
Kirby’s Dream Course
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Mega Man X
Secret of Mana
Star Fox
Star Fox 2
Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting
Super Castlevania IV
Super Ghouls ‘n Ghosts
Super Mario Kart
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Super Mario World
Super Metroid
Super Punch-Out!!
Yoshi’s Island
The SNES Classic Edition hits stores September 29th.
In celebration of Mighty No. 9’s one-year anniversary… here’s a rambling of my perspective on this whole Mighty No. 9 thing. I was going to do this as a video, but time constraints (mostly dedicated to more important matters and material) made this an unreality. A review of the game itself will be coming up in December… maybe.

Well, the best show in WWE deserves the best voice. Glad to see Mauro back in action in the McWrestling and that there’s (supposedly) no bad blood between both parties.
Why is it that every time I go to a website to read an article, there’s always a video that plays automatically? More often than not, that video has nothing to do with the article in question. This isn’t a convenience. It’s a waste of time to have to scroll on a video and tell it to stop. This is especially trying when a page has multiple videos and they all play at the same time.
Or even worse; the video will still play and appear in the corner. Yeah, because if I don’t want to watch the video in a big format, SURELY I’ll want to watch the same thing in a much smaller screen tucked away in the corner.
Here’s some free advice to websites with video supplements to their articles; don’t set your videos on autoplay. If I want to watch your shitty videos, I’ll click on them myself and watch them. If I want to read the articles, then I don’t want some idiot blasting into my ears unless it’s something I’m playing on my own volition.
Goddamn, kid. I need a stiff drink.
Or fifty.
So you have this historic Women’s Money In The bank ladder match on your $9.99 WWE Network PPV event. Give it this nice little video package pushing the supposed Women’s Revolution gimmick that you’re trying to convince people is a real thing… and then you end the match by having a chinless dude climb the ladder, grab the briefcase, and toss it to one of the women and she “wins” the match. Ooh, controversy! Conversation!
So what do you do when you have this situation? Easy; you book the exact same for next week’s episode of Smackdown. The same match, the same stipulation… only this time, it’s on FREE TV.
On top of that, you remember that Naomi vs. Lana match from the PPV? Apparently, people “loved” that match so much that we’re getting a rematch next week… ON FREE TV!
Yeah, I am done, kids. This whole thing broke my brain.
Last Sunday was the place where WWE held its first Women’s Money In The Bank ladder match featuring five of Smackdown’s best women and the winner of the the first-ever Women’s Money In The Bank ladder match… is James Ellsworth… who is not an active participant in this match and also not a woman.
Did WWE hire back Vince Russo or something? Because this sounds like the sort of thing he’d write.

I kid, of course. People are probably asking “I thought Buff Bagwell retired years ago.”
But nope, he’s been active on the indy scene for a few years since the last time he was a big deal on television, which was long, long ago. I could research to say when that was, but this is just a quick blurb more than anything.
Regardless, all the best to Buff and here’s to a happy post-career life.
Heard the sad news that Adam West – the deep-voiced actor perhaps best known for his role as Batman in the 1960s television show of the same name – recently passed away of leukemia. Mr. West’s role as Batman is one that most people (myself included) associate him with and while that has been a source of a career stall for a period, his appearances in Family Guy has given audiences a newfound appreciation for the man.
My heartfelt wishes and condolences to the West family and friends.
