Newer than new. But is it better-er?

The Five Dollar Nintendo eShop Gift Card saga continues with another cheap rip-off thing.

Somewhere along the way, someone decided that JAWS needed to be brought back to the masses and in a way that doesn’t entirely suck… which is funny because of the various LJN-published licensed games based on popular movies, JAWS was probably one of the less sucky ones to pick out of the lot and this enhanced version… well, I can appreciate the effort and the ambition if nothing else.

Oh, and I see Jeremy Parrish of NES Works fame had a hand in this development. Now I know who to blame for time lost replaying this rubbish… but do check out his Youtube channel, which is always quality material.

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.

In any reality other than the one depicted in this game, the French would have surrendered ages ago. Yes, I’m still making these jokes in 2025. And yes, they’re still relevant.

On a side note, I recently discovered that the people behind this game also made that Wallachia: Reign Of Dracula game I picked up ages ago. I considered giving that go for the week, but decided I needed more time than I already had, so I’m saving it for another time. Maybe next year, I guess…

So yeah, it’s a day late, so I’m not making you wait until 12:30 p.m. You can have this early.

Gordo, on the other hand, demands that you wait.

Bela Lugosi’s first official video game appearance… emphasis on the word “appearance.”

Yes, it just occurred to me that a day after the release of Sonic’s latest racing endeavor, a video for this last one should come out. I promise there was no planning behind this. It was a last-minute thing.

They made a sequel to the rip-off game…
