WWE 2K18 Coming To Nintendo Switch

Now this is good news. WWE 2K18 will not only be brought over to the usual suspects of Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC, but it will also be gracing Nintendo Switch this fall. Reportedly, it was retain all the new features of the latest edition despite the lower specs of the Switch; among them matches with up to eight Superstars at a time… took ’em over a damn decade, but they finally managed to get TWO more people on screen. I’m amazed by their great accomplishment here.

Now, details on the new edition of the game itself can be found elsewhere; I’m not going to dwell on that too much, but in either case, this is good news for Switch owners who have been clamoring for more third-party support that isn’t just indy titles. And… say what you will about the WWE games; they may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but when you consider that the last WWE video game to grace a Nintendo console was WWE ’13 on the Wii – not one WWE game ever graced the Wii U throughout that system’s life span – seeing one on the Switch has to be a nugget of encouragement.

Now, all that being said… when is Donkey Kong making an appearance? We’re not that far off after the ridiculous PPV name.

Arizona Man Tried To Kill JDF At A Con

Also, there’s a video of JDF speaking on the incident.

That’s just sad.

Look, I’m never going to be a card carrying member of the JDF Fan Club given the guy’s antics, but for someone to go that far is just too much. Glad to see that he’s okay and things didn’t go farther than they did.

Go Go Pee In That Cup (The Power Rangers 2017 Trailer)

Yeah, so I’m holding off restarting YouTube stuff until Friday. That way, I only have to worry about a “quick” DTM Rambles video and a pick-up video before starting reviews in February again.

Instead of a video for today, here’s the new trailer for that upcoming Power Rangers movie due in March. Where we get to see the suits in action for a brief instance… and they look okay. Nothing more, nothing less.

This looks somewhat promising, which is surprising to me considering how lukewarm I was to the idea initially. This has upgraded those feelings to somewhat cautiously optimistic. I may very well see this in the cinema – might as well since I saw the other two flicks and may as well keep that tradition going. If nothing else, the cup gag earned a chuckle, so that has to be worth something.

Power Rangers is due March 23.

Double Dragon IV… and it looks awful.

A couple thoughts, actually…

1) Very smart idea to call this Double Dragon IV… so we could try and forget about the Double Dragon V game that was released in 1994. That was the subpar fighting game based on the subpar animated series for anyone who is wondering… I have a review on said game that I did a few years back. Also, if this is Double Dragon IV then where does that leave Super Double Dragon?

2) Goddamn does this look shit. I mean, I get what they’re trying to go for here with the whole 8-bit throwback style that’s been beaten to death over the years, but this looks like somebody stuck ancient NES sprites onto ill-fitting backgrounds, much like a lot of older fangames made in Multimedia Fusion way back when. This feels like amateur hour.

Ashens’ Terrible Old Games Seminar Thing

Cool little lecture that Stuart Ashen did at August’s Norwich Gaming Festival, where he talks about terrible computer games and even lets a couple people play this horrible things.

Original video description:
Stuart Ashen, guest lecturer and local YouTube celebrity, will be talking about terrible old games in the wake of his recently published book Terrible Old Games You’ve Probably Never Heard Of.

Terrible Old Games You’ve Probably Never Heard Of is a compendium of some of the most painfully bad games available for the European home computer market from the early eighties to the mid nineties. It is based on Stuart’s YouTube series of the same name.

New Star Trek Beyond Trailer… Now This Is More Like It

Janet Maslin once started her 1982 review of Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan with the words, “Now this is more like it.” The same can be said for this second trailer, which does a far better job of selling the upcoming (3rd in the current series/13th overall) film than the controversial teaser released months ago. Your mileage may vary, but as far as I’m concerned? This is more like it.
