Cinema Sundays - Sonic the Hedgehog OVA (1996)

"Grandpa, tell me about the console wars." "Ah, yes sonny, that was many years ago, when ghosts were in hi-c and pepsi was clear..." "Tell me sonny...what year is it?" "2016." For those of us who grew up in the early 1990s, this was our war. Yes, we had the post-apocalyptic world of Crossfire to look forward to and our attention would later turn to digipets and arguing over which Pokemon version was best, Red, Blue, or Yellow. (Wait...are we sure it isn't the 1990s?) But, until those days arrived, we had the ultimate console war. Sega Genesis vs. Nintendo. You were in one camp or another. You discussed and debated the virtues of zelda, toejam and earl, vectorman, donkey kong, golden axe, and more as you used games, gameplay, graphics, sound, and speed to make your case. Of course, the Sega fans always had 'Blast Processing' as the ace up their sleeve to make the Nintenkids look foolish in the assertions. ...

Doom Board Game 2016? Second Verse Same as the First?

Image
At the end of July, Fantasy Flight Games announced that they would be revisiting an old license and gave the world the first peek at components from DOOM. This is not the first time Fantasy Flight Games has released a Doom game as they released a game based on the video game franchise back in 2004. The game was successful enough to garner an expansion, creatively titled Doom The Board Game - Expansion Set. (Such Wow. Much Creativity.) It is interesting to see the parallels between the development and release of Doom (2004) and Doom (2016). Doom (2004) was released concurrent with the release of Doom 3 in 2004 and the components and look of the demons in the board game were based of the style and design of the video game. Now, in 2016, we have a new Doom game and, in turn, a new Doom board game, both of which are reboots of the 2004 Doom. Additionally, the components and demons in the Doom Board Game (2016) are based off of Doom (...

Mortal Kombat X and Street Fighter Miniatures Game

New has been relatively sparse regarding the upcoming miniatures game by Jasco Games. After their success with the Megaman Board Game , Jasco Games announced at the GAMA Trade Show in early 2016 their new video game board game tie in, with Mortal Kombat X and Street Fighter getting the treatment this time around. Despite the announcement and buzz surrounding the Universal Tactics system they are using to dictate gameplay in this miniatures system and license tie-ins, Jasco Games has said little about this system in the following months, with little more known in the 3rd quarter of 2016 than in the 1st quarter. (Bison disapproves of your slacking, Jasco Games!) What is known is that the first wave of miniatures for this new Fighting/Universal Tactics will be Street Fighter. Jasco Games stated that an initial estimate of 30 fully painted miniatures will be available during the kickstarter for the Street Fighter Miniatures Game. Further, they stated that the game will...
