Not many shows merit games anyway.
Wouldn't it be a funny twist if they did a Voltron game based on the Vehicle Voltron and it was more popular and successful? |

Fuck it, let's get some of that action. But watch it get developed by the guys who released this silliness.

And just so everyone's clear:
This thing was released on core consoles in the year 2012. |

When I looked at the visuals, I was thinking it looked like a Wii game (at best). Out of curiosity, I looked up the game to see who developed it and looked at their credentials. This was handed to a group who seem to primarily do Wii and DS versions of games. There's also some multiplat and PC titles in there, but in recent history especially, it seems Wii and DS versions of games are their bread and butter. Which kinda explains this game. I also checked out a video of a Robeast Battle, and holy crap, that is boring as fuck. But yeah, the game seems to be kind of a mess. The cartoon shots clash with the game footage, and the Voltron scenes clash with both. I can't believe they have Quicktime events while you watch the cartoon formation sequence. That's stupid on many levels, and probably a good reason they don't let you try the sequence. Combining the worst elements of QTEs and Turn Based combat is annoying as fuck, too. Plus, it's mostly a twin stick shooter. There should be better controls for a game where the primary elements of the game are "move" and "shoot." |

I can't help but think giant robot lions shouldn't control like that. That was strike one, the visuals I could forgive. So I went YouTubing for more gameplay and saw more out of place stuff. The kicker was the actual Voltron sequences. I can understand having a hard time finding a way to have five people participate in this case, but the turn based whatever-it-is was ugly.

I could sorta get used to the robot lions control if the rest of the game was solid.

The Voltron bits were MAKE or BREAK for me. Probably should have went with a completely on-rails shooter thing. Something like Panzer Dragon on the ground with 5 players. Omit Voltron sections if you can't get it right.

Now I really want other 80s cartoon games, but they'd probably screw 'em up too.
Thundercats would be awesome in many formats. |

I see a badass beat-em-up with Thundercats. OR a coop dungeon crawler with heavy action gameplay. OR a fighting game made by ArkSys. Perhaps an RTS.

Watch me buy three copies anyway, and the MewTwo DLC (if their recent Nintendo Network and 3DS releases are anything to go by).

Since my only Nintendo device is a DSI, I haven't been paying attention. Do they actually have DLC along the lines of extra content at this point?

Just wondering. I remember Nintendo folks saying they weren't planning on online passes and DLC stuff for "core" titles, though they were probably lying anyway. But one of the big deals was the fear that Wii-U would switch to facilitating online passes.

The Wii and DS actually had DLC content but it was tied more to a few games (ex. Rock Band, Guitar Hero, Picross 3D) than an actual standard service. |

Yeah, they had to jump through hoops to accomodate that too.
I was more concerned with something core. Pokémon, being a Nintendo-owned franchise, is of more concern. Especially since it'd be a perfect place to sell additional content. |

To me, I seems pretty pointless to include Ryu and Ken as they're both pretty much the face of Street Fighter, so obviously they would have to be included in the board game.
Adding them in the poll sort of takes away votes from the other characters. |

A couple of EA news with a big announcement set for GDC, a Simpsons mobile game in the works, and more details on Medal of Honor: Warfighter.
EA teases they have a big announcement planned for March 6 during this year's GDC conference with rumors ranging from either details on the future of the Mass Effect franchise (same day as Mass Effect 3 is released), NBA Live 13 getting an official debut, or Crysis 3 getting its debut. A new Simpsons game called "The Simpsons: Tapped Out" is in development for mobile devices with iOS devices getting the game first and Android devices in the future. The game will be a free-to-play game and involves the player fixing up the city after Homer accidentally triggers a nuclear incident at the plant. The game will be using doughnuts as in-game currency with the ability to purchase additional doughnuts with real money. EA announces they are planning for an October release window for Medal of Honor: Warfighter with the multiplayer allowing a wider range of Tier 1 organizations to be playable. The game will have a co-op story campaign separate from the single player campaign. Also confirmed are all the missions in the game are based on real-life events. http://www.screwattack.com/news/spri...ons-tapped-out http://www.egmnow.com/articles/eas-big-announcement/ http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...or-warfighter/ _________________________________________________________ Daily Recap: 1) The pre-order bonus for the Wii game of Xenoblade Chronicles will be an artbook according to Nintendo but is only limited to US pre-orders. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...clusive-bonus/ 2) Steve Kordek, the inventor of the modern pinball machine in 1948, passed away yesterday at the age of 100. He is credited with making the 2 flipper style become the standard for pinball machines, the idea of multi-ball mode games, and drop targets inside a pinball table. http://www.screwattack.com/news/inve...as-passed-away 3) Square-Enix squashes rumors of Chrono Bind being a new game in the Chrono series by stating the game has no relation to the series and is just a DLC card pack for Final Fantasy XIII-2. http://www.giantbomb.com/news/square...-related/4005/ 4) Sony announces voting for the 2012 edition of the PSN Gamer's Choice Awards will start tomorrow with the winning games having a special discount once the voting is over. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...e-awards-2012/ |

Capcom is currently involved in a public relations mess after a reality show they host called "Cross Assault" ended up in the company apologizing to both contestants affected and the public in general.
The show is meant as a weekly series of episodes with each episode consisting of several days to help promote the company's upcoming Street Fighter X Tekken game. The episode in question had its issue occur on Day 1 and by the end of the week became a huge PR mess for Capcom. The recent episode ended up spiraling out of control when one of the contestants on the Tekken team tried to explain how sexual harassment is a perfectly reasonable experience by stating how the fighting community and gaming in general sees it as a normal thing and not as a bad or serious issue. Quote:
Giant Bomb's article on the same story goes a lot deeper in both the details and reaction to the episode. http://kotaku.com/5889066/competitiv...assment-debate http://www.giantbomb.com/news/when-p...-crossed/4006/ ________________________________________________________ Daily Recap: 1) The developers of Flower and Journey, thatgamecompany, announce they are branching away from a Sony-exclusive studio to include more platforms for future game projects starting with their next project. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...her-platforms/ 2) Based on recent rumors and job listings by EA, Dead Space 3 is expected to use the Frostbite 2.0 engine for its development and gameplay. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...te-2-0-engine/ 3) Dark Energy Digital, makers of Hydrophobia, announce they are entering "administration" with the studio's future very bleak as they are expecting the studio to close its doors soon. http://www.screwattack.com/news/hydr...administration |

“The sexual harassment is part of the culture. If you remove that from the fighting game community, it’s not the fighting game community… it doesn’t make sense to have that attitude. These things have been established for years... That’s what you’re trying to do to the fighting game community and it’s not right,” Aris continued. “It’s ethically wrong.”
