Sonic Creator Yuji Naka Beefs with Square Enix
RememberBalan Wonderworld? It feels like forever since that mess of a game was launched and it's already up there withBubsy 3D andSonic 06 in the platformer hall of shame. This is noBabylon's Fall kinda bad game with a forced mobile game-esque reward system and a shoddy graphical style, this was a hot mess of bad ideas and baffling decisions. No dialogue and therefore little plot, tons of useless power-ups, a weird "one button" control system that ...
Game Demos Are Coming Back on PlayStation
There was a time when I was about 13 when all I had was a broken, original 60GB model PS3. It worked alright except for the busted disc reader, meaning all I could play was stuff I had downloaded. My parents wouldn't let me use their card to buy games from the PSN store and this was years before PSN credit was sold in stores, so I spent most of my time after school playing demos. While I could never experience a game to its full extent that way, I ...
Kim Kardashian Vs Roblox is the Fight Nobody Asked For
I'll be honest: I'm not the kind of guy who keeps up with the Kardashians. Or any kind of celebrity news, for that matter. But this story is so dumb I just had to write about it.On an episode ofThe Kardashiansfilmed last September and first aired last week, there was a clip where Kim's six-year-old son Saint West (what kind of self-righteous asshole calls their son Saint?) runs into the room with an iPad in hand, playingRoblox like most six-year-olds ...
Manga Ad in Newspaper Sparks Controversy, Deemed "Unacceptable" by UN
One of the first rules of marketing is to know your audience. Manga publisher Kodansha thought to advertise their fanservice mangaTawawa on Monday's fourth volumewith a full-page spread inThe Nikkei, the world's largest financial newspaper, on April 4. The reactions to this ad got a lot more heated than Kodansha probably intended.The ad is simply an image of the manga's main character Ai wearing a school uniform, with the text reading "I hope this ...
Sega's Next Live-Action Project is Streets of Rage
It was only a matter of time afterSonic and its sequel did fairly well at the box office that Sega would attempt to give another of their classic IPs the live-action treatment. But other thanSonic, what else do they have? Yakuza? That already had a movie in 2007.Shenmue? That's got an anime in the works, but no-one wants to watch a guy drive a forklift and play with gachapon machines for two hours. What about the classic Genesis beat-em-upStreets ...
Sonic 2 Speeds Through the Box Office
Some people thought there was no waySonic 2 could recapture what made the first arguably the best video game-based movie yet. Those people were wrong, seeing as reception to the sequel has been mostly warm so far. It currently sits at 67% on Rotten Tomatoes, compared to the first movie's 63%.Everything that made the first movie great is also present here: Sonic's buddy cop relationship with Tom, shout-outs to the fandom and games, Jim Carrey being ...
Leia's Minifig Tits Nerfed in Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
The term "fanservice" is almost always used in reference to scenes in anime where a female character has her clothes removed for the benefit of the typically male, typically straight audience, but the phenomenon exists outside of anime as well. Probably the most famous example of this kind of fanservice is the metal bikini worn by Carrie Fisher inReturn of the Jediafter Princess Leia gets captured by Jabba the Hutt.I may or may not have beaten off ...
Nekopara's Doggirl Spin-Off is No Joke
April 1 must be a great day for businesses. A lot of 'em like to make an announcement that day, usually revealing a product wildly different to what they're usually known for, then they can gauge people's reactions and base their next step on that. If the audience love it then they'll double down and say it's for real. If not, they can always fall back on April Fool's and pretend nothing happened.So far, Nekoworks are two-for-two when it comes to ...

Kingdom Hearts IV Steps out of the Shadows
After the release ofKingdom Hearts II in 2005, fans had to wait until 2019 for the next main installment in the crossover franchise. There were a bunch of spin-offs in the meantime, but 14 years is a long time to wait for a sequel. So I think it's safe to say nobody saw the announcement of the next game in the series coming so soon.The surprise reveal came during a livestream by Square Enix to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the series, but not ...
