While fans looking forward to upcoming TV series-based video game South Park: The Stick of Truth recently had to add two months to their waiting time, the game has revealed some new content to look over for the time being, with the release of a second trailer during the recent 10th annual ‘Spike TV Video Game Awards’ in Culver City (USA), an event hosted by actor Samuel L. Rumoured to include an ‘Xbox TV’ entertainment system and ‘Kinect 2.0.’ alongside 3D and Blu-ray support, the console has plenty of technological potential, but there is one collection of features which will hamper the lure of the rest in a significant way if it remains in-place… Latest TV searches:premiera xbox 720 The choice of 21 May as the reveal is said to fit in with previous rumours surrounding the system, alongside proposed launch titles Forza Motorsport and Ryse.

Xbox Live’s director Larry Hyrb said of the plans: “On that day, we’ll share our vision for Xbox, and give you a real taste of the future.

ABOUT ME

Hachi ✨ 20 ✨ She/Her ✨ 🇵🇭 ✨ INFJ 6w5

Hello, I’m Hachi! I'm a full-time freelance illustrator on Fiverr, and I hopefully plan to branch out in other artistic areas in my life! Expect me to dump all of my artistic interests over here : #hachichiart

I also have a children’s picture e-book that I self-published on Amazon. I made it as a requirement for my high school thesis, so while the art there is definitely a representation of my past, I still stand by the message I was trying to send. I hope to eventually branch out this series in a form of a webcomic of sorts, for people who can’t afford to purchase my e-book for financial reasons. These characters are extremely dear to me, and I can’t wait to expound on them when I have the time lmao. Here’s a tag regarding the series: #behindtheartistichand

Some note-worthy things to mention, this blog is generally 15+, but I do make sure to tag any NSFW content and general triggers out there. I often post and retweet adult animation, so I’d say tread carefully if you’re a minor. I’m also critical with the media I consume, but most of the time, I like to talk about why I like something rather than why I hate it. I just find it more fun to expound on the positives of my favorite things. I also don’t take everything seriously.

Please let me know privately if I did or say anything wrong. Sometimes I say things without meaning to, and I’m not the brightest crayon in the box, so constructive criticism is greatly appreciated. If you take offense with anything I posted, just send a polite DM and explain why it offended you so I can be educated regarding the subject. I’m also available for any questions, DMs and a genuine chit-chat.

Hi, did you play every AC game? If yes, in term of game plays which are the easiest? For someone without much experience in games, ty!

Not every AC game, because I can handle only so much of cookie cutter games at a time. Before I say more, lemme get this out of the way first: I played the Ezio trilogy back in 2018 because Da Vinci’s Demons was cancelled and I wanted more Da Vinci content and the white and red hoodie looks cool. In other words, I didn’t play the game because it’s called Assassin’s Creed.

The AC games I played so far, by the order of which one I play first. I’ll rate gameplay by my personal preferences (because it’s the only way I know how).

Ezio’s trilogy (AC2, AC Brotherhood, AC Revelations, played in 2018): decent parkour, minimal grind (just invest in the villa and you’re a millionaire in a day or two), very story focused (perfect balance of historical and modern plots). Decent combat. The golden years of AC and I agree.

Unity (played a few months after Ezio): good parkour, medium grind (bigger map and more items to upgrade, you still get to invest in properties so it helps). Time-saver items are on sale for real money aka MTX (ew). Combat is ok, not much difference since Ezio. Historical story is meh (I don’t care for Arnold because Elise’s story is more interesting) and they completely ditched the modern plot (you think Odyssey has little modern day plot, try Unity). Buggiest AC game I encountered and I played this game 4+ yrs after launch (hold on to that thought, keep reading). Ubi spent all of their time and budget doing the interior design (which is gorgeous btw) that they have none left to fix the bugs.

Black Flag (a few months after): chasing flying papers is my favorite activity to NOT do. Grindy af (no property investment). I can’t tolerate the controls for the ship so I hate everything that involves ship in this pirate game, except for sea shanties. You’ll have more fun playing this game as a pirate than an assassin. Combat feels the same since Ezio. Other mechanics are like Unity (understandable). Modern plot is minimal, but it makes bloodline irrelevant and there’s a....soul inside a computer server that wants to possess a human body, meanwhile said soul’s husband is a maniac who has unlimited reincarnations (realism, I know). Black Flag is the gateway game that convinces me that I should stop wasting my brain cells in “what kinda bs realism is dis?”

Odyssey (a month after launch, bought solely because of Kassandra also when I heard Odyssey is set before the creed, oh fuck yea I don’t need to sit through another rehash of Creed crap or at least minimal anyway): oh gods a breath of fresh air from the old controls where you have to hold R2 whenever you want to run and my fingers hurt sfm. Climbing is the best because the protag actually moves where you want them to move. MTX (ew). Grindy but because the combat and movements are smooth, best combat so far; I don’t see Odyssey as grindy because I enjoy my time playing (also Kassandra); I platinum the game on PS4 at around 130 hrs I think, could’ve been earlier but photomode. Fun quests that I giggle whenever thinking about them (I don’t remember shit about any quests in any other AC game, but then again Kassandra). People bitch about no parkour but who parkour in the 450BCE?!?!? Full disclosure: I never cared for parkour and never will. I stop caring for modern plot after how Unity and Black Flag handled it. Playing Odyssey makes me realize that I enjoy AC games more if idgaf for the AC aspect, rather, I play for the fictional historical tourism aspect. Just ditch the AC and voila, blue sky and fresh air. Playing Odyssey also makes me realize that I want a spin-off IP that focus on the Isu so we can go full fantasy. Do I need to say how pretty Odyssey is? lol

Origins (planned to play Origins first, but Kassandra. Also, I remember Amunet from AC2, but somehow we play as a dude in Ancient Egypt, I’m not too eager to find out, despite I prefer Egyptian mythology over Greek and I’d like to thank Yu-gi-oh for that): combat is clunky, heavy, and slow, though no need to hold R2 to run so phew. Grindy af. The bow mechanics is a decade outdated (Horizon Zero Dawn came out the same year and oh boi the difference is night and day, oh yea I played HZD before Origins. I get it the bow isn’t the focus but does it have to feel like Skyrim in 2017?). I’m glad I play this game for the Ancient Egypt (which is beautifully designed *chef kiss*) aspect and no more.

Syndicate (I play this along side of Origins, still haven’t finished it though. Literally bought the game for Evie and I nut over Victorian fashion): combat is no different from Unity. Grindy like Black Flag and Unity. Story is meh in both historical and modern plot so far. Evie is the only reason I’m still trying to play this game. At least the Helix outfits are included in the Gold edition of the game. Victorian London is gorgeous tho.

Valhalla (only care for this game because Eivor. Tbh after God of War and Hellblade, idc for another Viking game): game is buggy af, buggiest AC game I’ve played. Combat is like Origins but worse: the only saving grace is the finishing move & the bow mechanic hasn’t been improved since Origin; I honestly would rather have combat from the Ezio games over whatever-this-is. You have to toggle a button to run now, which is dumb af because I miss Origins and Odyssey automatic run. They bring parkour back (because Vikings totally dig parkour back in the Dark Ages) as well as the-character-doesn’t-move-where-you want-them-to from the older games. Chasing flying papers from black flag is back, no thx. Looting enemies is useless, but hey you get to run around to look for a key or two or THREE to get some minimal amount of materials; so imagine if 2/3 of every chest in Origins and Odyssey are locked. Oh! You have manually pick berries/food to heal, no healing potion, wtf is this half-ass RPG shit? Side quests, oh sorry World Events, aren’t tracked in an open-world game (guess who hasn’t been doing these bitches?). Grindy af. I’m wasting my time looking at the skill points interface (you have 99 lv in Odyssey, 55 in Origins, 403 power in Valhalla. A game doesn’t feel like grindy if you level up every 2 quests for 403 times, does it? lololol). The useless SP tree is so massive that I just don’t use the skills I acquire because it takes too much time to find out which buttons to push to locate the 10 skills in this 403-dot clusterfuck, but the astronomy design is beautiful (gotta give credit when it’s due). Scummy practice from Ubi: releasing “time-saver” pack AFTER reviews are published. Also, who wanna bet there will be more mtx outfits than in-game outfits? Don’t worry, Ubi makes inventory management cLEaNeR for you *hands over 8 outfits for an RPG game*. The free event bugs tf out of your already buggy event, but hey, you’ll get a free outfit that’s a reskin of what you already have, teeheee be grateful. Eivor is amazing but by the gods playing this game is a chore. Tbh I only play Valhalla if I don’t feel like playing Ghost of Tsushima that day. Lastly, why is England so yellow like it’s Ancient Egypt?!?!? And why the sunlight moves faster than Eivor’s running at full speed? Which parts of this game does realism count?!?!?!?

Unsolicited opinion: GoT is an example of how an AC game should be and how DLCs should be handled, but with Ubisoft it will never be and I’m so fucking glad that it is Sucker Punch Prod which handles feudal Japan with utmost respect and realism. See how “honor” is handled in both games and compare the writing. Ubisoft should have announced ding dong AC is dead and create a new IP, but AC is their most financially successful franchise so expect more of this MTX, I mean, grindy RPG approach with minimal narrative.

#every time I talk about AC I need to go play ghost of tsushima to cleanse myself #ask #anon #Assassin's Creed #ac2 #ac brotherhood #ac revelations #ac unity #ac black flag #ac4 #ac syndicate #ac odyssey #ac origins #ac valhalla

I think it would be easy to make the case that I was broadening my real life horizons more than having mind-blowing experiences with entertainment when I was in middle school. However, one of my central points in this series has been that I don’t believe that there’s a clear line between those two things. In fact, if anything my relatively slow growth in media for those years suggests relatively slow development overall. At any rate, the end result is that there were a few years where I have a handful of things to mention, but only a little to say about each. Here are a few of them:

Since Harry Potter books didn’t come out all that often, Redwall did a decent job at scratching that itch with an extensive back catalog of books I could read. Instead of carefully crafted mysteries, they had series of riddles, which was good enough for me. I also appreciated the worldbuilding--how different species were depicted as having different cultures in a way that felt fairly natural to me at the time. I tended to know, for instance, that a book with a badger on the cover was going to involve a lot of legends and prophecies. Even if I didn’t care for the characters in a particular book, it’d be worth reading to get a better feel for its setting, since that understanding would make the next book feel more like it took place in a real world.

Hey Arnold was quite good, though at the time all I wanted was a slightly more sophisticated cartoon than Arthur so I could relax with its easy familiarity. I had such low requirements of it that it have been surprised over the past decade whenever I think back on how solid it was.

Holes did all of the Harry Potter-style mystery plot stuff but even better. Man, that was satisfying to read at the time. It didn’t expand my horizons, but it distilled something I was craving. In fact, I still don’t think I’ve found anything that does my personal preferred type of mystery plot better than Holes.

Golden Sun was an important stepping stone between Pokémon and the RPGs I’d spend the next 5 years playing. It hit the familiar-new mix simply by adhering to RPG staples, including some that Pokémon used too. If you include its sequel, Golden Sun also expanded on the feeling of inhabiting a huge and real-feeling world that I had previously got from Zelda.

It was also during middle school when I developed my oddly strong musical distaste for anything that seemed either commercially mainstream or the countercultural equivalent. I started to actually dislike the bubblegum pop sound that was popular at the time, and dismissed anything “edgy” as simply bad.

Fantasy is a genre of movie and television is a back and forth. Nobody talks about it for a while and then it’s back with something big. “Lord of the Rings”. “Game of Thrones”. And yet they fail to make the show I’d like to watch.

I’d say the fantasy genre is good at painting itself into corners. Or being painted into corners. Each success digs a hole it then falls in and vanishes for a while. The “Hobbit” movies were abysmal (compared to the “Lord of the Rings” movies) and had “money grab” written all over them. The prequel shows for “Game of Thrones” are basically cancelled.

I wasn’t really a fan of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” (and its spinoff “Angel”), or “Hercules” and “Xena”, but they did something right. (And so did “Highlander”.) They were successful ongoing stories about monster hunting. And they were doing fantasy in a way you could watch it every week, even if it was “urban fantasy” or ripping off Greek mythology and not “classic fantasy.”

Fantasy - in the sense of pseudo-medieval, wizards, druids, and shit - however has not been released in that format, really. Yet I think it would do really well. The problem, I think, are fantasy-themed movies defining the genre in the heads of television producers.

In the 80s, fantasy met clear special effects limitations, but the stuff we got was “The Neverending Story”, “Willow”, and “The Dark Crystal”. Save-the-world plots. In two out of three you can see very clearly the limitations of their SFX possibilities. (Oh, and the astoundingly dark “The Black Cauldron” by Disney. Holy cow. And a first “Lord of the Rings” animated movie, showing the potential of animation to do fantasy.)

Oh, and the Conan movies, especially the first one - a brillant piece of Sword & Sorcery, very nice, but that one - like He-Man and everything else in the 80s - fed the desire for larger-than-life action heroes - like Arnold became in many movies. It soon didn’t matter what these “heroes” did, as long as lots of extras died, their muscles showed, and you got a lot of bang for the buck.

In the 2000s we got the “Lord of the Rings” (saving the world, now including mass battle sequences) and the “Harry Potter” movies, the latter being a genre of their own (which found its own imitators, but I forget who is what.) People clearly like fantasy and it can draw audiences beyond genre fans if done right.

In the 2010s we got “Game of Thrones” (for example). Here we see that somebody adapted fantasy not revolving around a story that just meant getting the MacGuffin to save the world or similar. Power politics. Factions. Murder. Tits and ass, and lots of it. (And rape.) The show made sure that there were all kinds of “adult thrills” in it. (Hey, “It’s not porn, it’s HBO!”)

I out myself as a fan of Piers Anthony and his life-sized protagonists and their life-sized struggles. Or take Fritz Leiber’s Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser. There are plenty of stories that don’t need protagonists that save the whole world and then their story concludes.

The actual premise of D&D - go out, kill monsters, fight multiple villains, save villagers and what not - was obviously good enough for hundreds of video games. Why does it not show up on the “small screen?” Something like Leiber where our “heroes” are half-scoundrels making their living in a rough city. Dungeon explorers. Whatever.

The silly thing is that doing something like Lankhmar doesn’t need a huge SFX budget, the bane of many fantasy productions. Most antagonists can just be human. You can develop a core cast that can play off each other. This should be prime TV material, actually, especially in the age of Netflix. Just play it fucking straight for once! No quirky twists, no bizarre unique thing about your world. Even playing it straight would be novel by now because it hasn’t really been done.

Frankly, TV doesn’t have to be that original. How many crime and cop shows are out there that only slightly diverge in the disposition of their “asking the questions” cast? How many adaptations of Sherlock Holmes? A show like “Highlander” was solid TV (and definitely better than the 2nd movie). Fantasy has the possibility to be a TV staple. Just make the episodic format work.

I mean, now we have “The Witcher” this and that, but again, there’s a large plot moving around, and fate of nations. Where are the people that just make their own lives work? A fantasy party could be at times like “Friends” and it could do mystery and crime investigations. I sometimes joke to my players about “CSI: Woodrealm” when they ask questions about a mystery murder they could have gotten off of a cop show. The fantasy genre is versatile because we made it so. There’s a lot of ideas buried in modules written for role-playing games.

Once upon a time the “Star Wars RPG” not only preserved the “Star Wars” universe when the movies petered out, it also did the world-building that video games and comics and books then expanded upon, until we got more “Star Wars” movies (albeit mostly shitty ones) and TV shows. RPGs are notoriously good at creating worlds for basing stories in.

Think small. Or at least smaller. Make a decent fantasy TV show.

Best SNES Games

List of All SNES Games Based on Movies

Here are the best SNES Games of all time. Check out our picks for the best SNES games!

3 Ninjas Kick Back

Release Year: 1994

Current Value: $60-$70

This is an action-platformer with co-op gameplay and great sound design. The graphics and controls are a little lackluster.

The Addams Family

Release Year: 1992

Current Value: $14-$17

Mediocre SNES platformers can often be saved with great mascots, and this is no exception. You only get to play as Gomez, and the only levels are in the family’s mansion, but it’s worth a play if you’re a fan.

Addams Family Values

Release Year: 1992

Current Value: $14-$17

This is A Link to the Past, but with Uncle Fester and friends. The password system is infuriating, but the game itself is solid. Bonus points to the developers for making an action RPG with the license instead of a platformer.

Aladdin

Release Year: 1993

Current Value: $15-$17

Aladdin is often considered one of the best licensed platformers of all time. The SNES version and the Genesis version have obvious differences, but they’re both masterpieces.

Alien 3

Release Year: 1992

Current Value: $18-$20

Ripley makes her way through a passable run-and-gun adventure. This port is leagues ahead of the NES version, which was only released a few months earlier.

An American Tail: Fievel Goes West

Release Year: 1994

Current Value: $70-$75

Fievel gets to take down some 16-bit bosses with decent gameplay variety. The colors are sharp, and the levels aren’t too long are hard; this title is very kid friendly.

Batman Forever

Release Year: 1995

Current Value: $8

This is a truly terrible game that’s great fun to watch during speed run conventions. Notably, there is a “training mode” that attempts to be a fully-fledged tournament fighter, but it fails miserably.

Batman Returns

Release Year: 1992

Current Value: $18-$20

Unlike Batman Forever, this is a creative side-scrolling action game that uses the Animated Series’ aesthetic effectively.

Beauty and the Beast

Release Year: 1994

Current Value: $40-$45

This side-scrolling game is rather generic. You play as Beast and try to save Belle, but there’s little to separate it from other games in the genre.

Bebe’s Kids

Release Year: 1994

Current Value: $33-$37

This is the slowest beat-em-up of all time. Walking is slow, attacking is slow, and enemies have seemingly infinite health. Stay away.

Beethoven: The Ultimate Canine Caper

Release Year: 1993

Current Value: $8-$10

A simple platformer where you can play as a dog that barks at enemies for damage. No, it’s not about the composer.

Bram Stoker’s Dracula

Release Year: 1993

Current Value: $8-$10

This is a semi-sufficient replacement for gamers that crave more Castlevania. The graphics are a little gaudy, but you came to fight Dracula, and fight Dracula you shall.

Casper

Release Year: 1996

Current Value: $85-$100

This plays kind of like A Boy and his Blob, with Casper tethered to Kat Harvey. Oddly, the Japanese Super Famicom Casper is different, with the roles reversed in an isometric perspective.

Cliffhanger

Release Year: 1993

Current Value: $5-$7

There’s less cliffhanging and more bad-guy punching. It’s a simple brawler based on a simple movie. Missed opportunity for a cliffhanger ending, of course.

Cool World

Release Year: 1992

Current Value: $10-$13

Although a mediocre adventure game, this stays pretty close to the source material. It’s a lot more kid-friendly, though, and appropriate for Nintendo.

Cutthroat Island

Release Year: 1995

Current Value: $8-$10

Lukewarm swashbuckling action is backed up by nice graphics and music. It’s button mashing, but hey, swords are cool.

Demolition Man

Release Year: 1994

Current Value: $15-$18

Mediocre platforming sometimes switches to decent top-down shooting. Don’t you wish it was one or the other? This could have been a decent Contra clone.

Dennis the Menace

Release Year: 1993

Current Value: $8-$10

You have to collect all of Mr. Wilson’s coins and find two of Dennis’ friends. Notably, there’s a timer; it’s just as anxious as the movie.

Dinocity

Release Year: 1992

Current Value: $13-$15

It’s based on the movie Adventures in Dinosaur City. The graphics and worlds are fun to explore, and the dinosaurs you choose actually affect gameplay.

Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story

Release Year: 1993

Current Value: $9-$12

Bruce Lee gets a well-deserved tournament fighter, but almost every aspect of the game is poor. At least Bruce Lee was given recognition by getting a character in every other fighting game series.

The Flintstones

Release Year: 1994

Current Value: $10-$13

This game uses its overworld as a sort of board game, where landing on a space decides the level you play. Sometimes it’s shops, sometimes it’s bosses, sometimes it’s a normal platformer.

Home Alone

Release Year: 1991

Current Value: $8-$10

Not only does it not follow the movie, but this game can be completed in less than half an hour. Even Macaulay Culkin hates it.

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

Release Year: 1992

Current Value: $6-$8

There’s powerups, and this has a little more going for it than the first game, but it’s not a significant improvement. It’s a bit nice to powerslide into enemies.

Hook

Release Year: 1992

Current Value: $23-$26

The gameplay is standard platforming, but the graphics are outstanding for the time period. It almost looks like modernized pixel art made with decades of experience.

The Hunt for Red October

Release Year: 1991

Current Value: $6-$8

There’s side-scrolling and underwater action, with Super Scope bonus levels. If you enjoyed Jaws on the NES, this might catch your fancy.

Indiana Jones’ Greatest Adventures

Release Year: 1994

Current Value: $30-$35

Few movie games effectively used the Mode 7 functionality on the SNES, but this game is a joy to look at. It’s the second most iconic sidescroller featuring whip-based combat.

Judge Dredd

Release Year: 1995

Current Value: $7-$9

Run-and-guns don’t often give you the option to arrest the enemies instead of blasting them to bits. There’s hard bosses to make it worth strolling through the brightly-covered comic book levels.

The Jungle Book

Release Year: 1993

Current Value: $5-$7

This game picked up where the original Pitfall left off. It’s platforming with vine-swinging, so of course it’s satisfying. Is there any game with vine-swinging that isn’t?

Jurassic Park

Release Year: 1993

Current Value: $5-$7

Grant has a chibi sprite in this game that utilizes alternating perspectives. Top-down shooting with explosives and tranquilizers switches to first-person gaming when entering a building. No continues and no passwords; you have to beat the whole thing in one go.

Last Action Hero

Release Year: 1993

Current Value: $8-$10

Most of the Arnold Schwarzenegger games are shooters, but this one is a beat-em-up. The final boss of the game is the final boss of the movie to boot.

The Lawnmower Man

Release Year: 1993

Current Value: $8-$10

Nothing to do with the movie, and nothing to do with the book. Yet, it’s just as weird as both. This is a first-person platformer, a first-person shooter, a sidescroller, and a shoot-em-up (with two different perspectives and three distinct styles) all at once. Each level is different.

Lethal Weapon

Release Year: 1992

Current Value: $8-$10

It’s a platformer with shooting elements where you can play as Riggs or Murtaugh. Oddly enough, the developers opted for a more cartoony style than what you’d expect for an adaptation of the movie.

The Lion King

Release Year: 1994

Current Value: $8-$10

One of Disney’s best games, this sold over a million copies in the U.S. alone. It’s really hard, but not terribly unfair.

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein

Release Year: 1994

Current Value: $18-$20

Thank goodness you get to play as the monster and not some boring human. You can attack all of the vengeful townspeople to your heart’s content; the plot closely follows the 1994 film it’s based on, rather than the book or the old-school Universal movie.

The Mask

Release Year: 1995

Current Value: $35-$40

Gamers would pick this up for the humor and goof factor, and The Mask delivers. It’s a side-scroller with whacky attacks and ammo meters to manage.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie

Release Year: 1995

Current Value: $40-$50

Beat-em-ups suit the Power Rangers cast. Much like other games in the genre, it’s repetitive, but great for fans of the series. There’s six characters, though they do play relatively similarly.

No Escape

Release Year: 1994

Current Value: $11-$13

No Escape’s graphics are really, really good, and it has awesome cutscenes to boot. Unfortunately, it controls really poorly. Something good got lost along the way.

Outlander

Release Year: 1992

Current Value: $10-$12

Outlander was originally developed as a Mad Max game before the developers lost the rights. There’s driving and shooting, and walking and shooting. It’s a bit repetitive, but maybe it would have sold well with an actual license.

The Pagemaster

Release Year: 1994

Current Value: $7-$9

Another Macaulay Culkin game with platforming, this time with magic combat and literature worlds. It’s not bad, but he hates this one too.

Pinocchio

Release Year: 1995

Current Value: $13-$15

Old-school platforming with an emphasis on puzzles. There’s storybook cutscenes too, which are a nice reward for finishing each level.

RoboCop 3

Release Year: 1991

Current Value: $13-$15

He’s slow in the movie, but does he have to be so slow in the game too? It would be funny if it weren’t so hard, though fans will get a kick out of it regardless.

The Rocketeer

Release Year: 1991

Current Value: $6-$8

Like many other games on this list, Rocketeer tries to mix genres; it’s half flying, a quarter shooting, and a quarter brawling. The flying segments would be interesting, but it asks you to look at a tiny camera window at the bottom of the screen instead of the big landscape that takes up the rest.

Snow White: Happily Ever After

Release Year: 1994

Current Value: $23-$25

Targeted at casual gamers, this sidescroller has three difficulty levels. Though the gameplay isn’t extremely unique, you have to give credit to developers that knew their audience.

Stargate

Release Year: 1994

Current Value: $10-$13

Though it controls decently, this is a run-of-the-mill platformer. They played it super safe with this one, considering Stargate lends itself to any number of genres.

Super Godzilla

Release Year: 1993

Current Value: $12-$15

Super Godzilla is hard to classify; half of it is a slow one-on-one fighter, and the other half is tactical tile movement. The bottom half of the screen shows tiles you can move Godzilla to, while the top half shows the actual actions Godzilla is taking. It’s methodical and appropriate.

Super Star Wars

Release Year: 1993

Current Value: $10-$12

Luke starts off with a blaster, and eventually upgrades to a lightsaber! There’s even more action than the movie for this sidescroller, plus a playable Han and Chewbacca. Even though it’s not subtitled, the game is based on Episode IV, clearly preparing for sequels. Don’t worry, there’s vehicle combat too.

Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

Release Year: 1993

Current Value: $11-$13

Episode V follows the gameplay of its predecessor, adding new weapons and special moves for the characters. Plus, there’s double jumping and a final boss fight with Vader. However, the story isn’t finished…

Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi

Release Year: 1994

Current Value: $14-$16

Once again, this follows the Super Star Wars formula, but adds Leia and Wicket as playable characters. There’s more content and action-packed levels, and this is about as good as it gets for licensed games of the 16-bit era.

T2: The Arcade Game

Release Year: 1991

Current Value: $9-$11

This is a conversion of the lightgun arcade game; don’t bother playing without a Super Scope or a SNES Mouse. If you have either, this game is a super fun novelty.

The Terminator

Release Year: 1992

Current Value: $32-$35

Difficult side-scrolling with no continues are punctuated by fun driving segments. It’s harder than it is long, but you’d wish it was all driving.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day

Release Year: 1993

Current Value: $32-$35

It’s a sidescrolling adventure game, but half of it is escort levels. Plus, it’s not always easy to tell what you’re supposed to do. In short: quite frustrating.

Toy Story

Release Year: 1995

Current Value: $10-$13

Believe it or not, this is one of the best platformers on the system. It has awesome graphics, controls nicely and has fun levels. It sold so well, they ran out of chips to make more cartridges.

Toys

Release Year: 1993

Current Value: $5-$7

This game is seriously unimpressive. You have to collect toys to fight the enemy with, but most of the screen is covered up by isometric tiles coated in eye-straining blue paint.

True Lies

Release Year: 1994

Current Value: $30-$35

Reviews for this are polarized. It’s a top-down shooter almost reminiscent of modern games like Hotline Miami. It’s short, but very sweet.

Warlock

Release Year: 1994

Current Value: $10-$12

It’s repetitive and you won’t want to finish it, but the puzzles and spells of Warlock are impressive for a couple hours.

Wayne’s World

Release Year: 1993

Current Value: $10-$12

It’s hard to be accurate to a movie like this, but the Wayne’s World game is goofy and fun. The graphics are pretty good, but it’s hard to pay attention to them with the game’s difficulty.

We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story

Release Year: 1993

Current Value: $6-$8

It uses the movie’s characters, but has a new plot to follow. The graphics are nice, but it’s a rather simple platformer. Great for kids.

The Wizard of Oz

Release Year: 1993

Current Value: $20-$25

It’s got some cool ideas; the main cast is all playable and there’s new locations to visit in the World of Oz. Unfortunately, the platforming is broken and the foreground and background blend together.

Nick games review: Nickelodeon Kart Racers (Switch)

Nick's first Kart Racing game on Switch remains stuck in neutral.

Pros:

Interesting boost system and RPG-like leveling

Cons:

Controls are either loose or sluggish, depending on the difficulty

Uninteresting track design

Paltry selection of racers

Rubbish graphics, especially in handheld mode

Irritating music

No voices

Given the large number of iconic characters from Nickelodeon's huge library of shows over the years, it stands to reason that the network would use them to ride on the wave of Mario Kart clones. Thee have been past efforts to mimic the formula, to mixed results, so it was anyone's guess as to how this one would turn out. In all honesty, Bamtang Games could have probably just settled for making an average kart racing game that featured the young demographic's favorite characters and fans would have been satisfied. That was certainly my expectation, so it's disappointing to note that they've failed to hit even that modest threshold. Nickelodeon Kart Racers is so massively underwhelming in just about every department that it's hard to see even the youngest Nick fans deriving much enjoyment from it.

From the moment you boot up the game, you'll already start to notice how poorly made it is. You're greeted with an ugly menu complete with a low-quality midi-tune playing in the background, and it only gets worse once you go to select a racer. The character select screen allows you to select a total of twelve racers - that's right, TWELVE - from only four Nicktoons, Spongebob, Hey Arnold, TMNT and Rugrats, which is absolutely pathetic and an insult to fans. Where are the classics like CatDog? Jimmy Neutron? Fairly OddParents? I get those shows have been out of the public conscious for a while, but when you got an old show like Hey Arnold that younger viewers likely wouldn't be familiar with, why skimp on the rest? And anyway, what about some of the shows that ARE still running on Nick, like The Loud House? As it stands, the amount of representation here for both old and new fans is pathetic, and will likely leave viewers both young and old in the cold.

If its Kart Racing mechanics were at least competent, it might be possible to forgive the limited character roster. To its credit, the karts at least feel okay to drive, with responsive steering and a functional drift mechanic. Unfortunately, while the actual racing remains functional, it never aspires to be anything more.

Put simply, the game plays out like a poor man's Mario Kart 8. There are three difficulty levels, none of which really make driving much fun. On the first two, your kart moves almost painfully slowly, like driving a golf kart, which makes races feel like they drag on for longer than they should. Expert difficulty, conversely, gives the karts a major speed boost at the expense of precise control. It seems like Bamtang was unable to find just the right balance in regards to speed.

Also like in MK8, the karts switch between land, sea, and air at different points in the track, which doesn't work nearly as well as it did in Mario Kart since the controls when not on solid ground don't feel nearly as responsive. Driving through slime in particular can be a major pain in the ass, since drifting inexplicably doesn't work when your kart is a boat. There are also a litany of items themed after the different shows, like a baby bottle that explodes on contact, a pizza that obscures vision, and a football that homes in on other racers. Sure, it wouldn't be a kart racer without them, but since the game provides no explanation as to what any of them do, you're left to simply use one and see what happens, and even when you do, the lackluster visual effects make them feel less than satisfying.

It doesn't help that the tracks you drive on are about as bog-standard as it gets. There are twenty-four of them, which are pulled from one of the four shows in the game, as you'd expect. From a gameplay standpoint, none make for a particularly exciting racing experience. They're competently laid out, and come with the occasional shortcut and branching path, but lack any environmental hazards or set pieces that give them that extra spark.

To their credit, though, some of them at least evoke some sense of location, with the Spongebob-themed Bikini Bottom Boogie Nights featuring familiar locations like the Krusty Krab and Mrs Puff's Boating School, and the Rugrats track Birthday Bash taking you around a tour of the Pickles' home. But sadly, once you actually spend some time on the track, you'll start to realize how lifeless they all feel. There's just not much going on in the background to give them that extra bit of character. What's more, you'll soon start to notice that several tracks are simply slightly-tweaked rehashes of others. Two nearly-indistinguishable tracks take place in Dimension X, and I counted no fewer than three that take place in a school. Of course, it wouldn't be Nickelodeon without slime, and sure enough, every track has sections of it, and some take place entirely on slime. So, when you're not looking at dull scenery, you'll be looking at endless green sewage.

Actually, on the topic of slime, it's one of the few interesting mechanics in the game. As you collect slime, a meter will fill up consisting of three bars. By pressing the boost button, you can gain a burst of speed at the cost of one full bar. But if you wait until the meter is filled up, you can execute a longer burst of speed that knocks opposing racers out of the way. It's nothing particularly groundbreaking, but it adds a neat element of strategy that makes the vanilla racing just a smidge more enjoyable.

The one other interesting mechanic the game adds, unfortunately, isn't executed particularly well. There's an RPG-leveling mechanic in place, where you gain xp by winning races, thereby increasing stats like speed, grip, and handling. It's a neat idea that a few other racing games have used to great effect. The problem here is that completing a race earns you only a handful of xp, so actually gaining a level can require as much as six races, and it's unlikely anyone will have the patience to slog through that many races just to level up. Beyond the level up system, players can collect coins from races and use them to buy things like engines and tires, but I didn't find these made any significant difference in a race.

In keeping with the quality of the gameplay, the presentation of Nick Kart Racers is thoroughly lackluster. The environments, though somewhat faithful to their animated counterparts, all look flat and drab, like something from a gamecube game circa 2004. Similarly, the characters are all poorly translated into 3D, with lifeless animations and a general uncanny feel. What's more, even with the general low quality of the visuals, the performance is poor. The game attempts to run at 30 frames per second, but it frequently fails to reach even that modest rate, especially when a lot of karts are onscreen, and that's not even mentioning the pop-in horrors that await for those who dare play in handheld mode. Soundwise, there's also not much worthy of praise. The music tracks are all irritating midi-tunes that don't sound anything like the music from the Nicktoons. But the final insult is the complete lack of voices. Instead, you'll see speech bubbles pop up when something happens on the track. Without those, the game fails to capture any of the colorful personality of its rich roster of characters, completely sucking away what little life the game might have had.

In the end, there just isn't much reason to play Nickelodeon Kart Racers. The shit graphics, dull driving, and pathetic character roster make it impossible to recommend even to hardcore Nick fans. Granted, I am well aware of the game's purpose to provide a relatively cheap game to get the young'uns who're dying to play a game with their favorite cartoon characters, and if you can find it in a bargain bin somewhere, it's a relatively painless bet. Personally, though, my advice would be to simply introduce your kids to Mario Kart; otherwise find an old ps1 somewhere and get them the far superior Nicktoons Racing.

Gameplay: 3

Graphics: 3

Sound: 3

Value: 3

Overall: *1/2 (1 1/2 out of 5)

𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕚𝕟𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕗𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝕙𝕒𝕤 𝕕𝕖𝕥𝕖𝕔𝕥𝕖𝕕 𝕒𝕟 𝕚𝕟𝕔𝕠𝕞𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕞𝕖𝕤𝕤𝕒𝕘𝕖: anonymous asked: i'm really glad that you said that all of my favorite fandoms can be applied for/welcomed! It has been extremely difficult for me to find a multi-fandom RPG where I believe that I will feel comfortable in and not feel easily stressed out or anxious with meeting everyone. Do you have any faceclaim suggestions for sid from hey, arnold!, and princess ariel from the little mermaid, please?

Oh my gosh, this was the absolute best thing to wake up to, ‘Non. I’m so happy to hear we’ve helped make your day even the slightest bit brighter! Before I address your excellent questions, I want to take a second to say this- of course, I know this is similar to what you’ll hear from any Admin about their groups, we all love the spaces we’ve created. But, I truly and genuinely do mean it when I say we have a fantastic group over here at the Isle. I fully and absolutely believe that the RP community is nowhere near what it used to be due to issues with exclusionary behavior in groups. But, I can assure you my entire goal and purpose for this group is to ensure things like that don’t happen. We truly do have a wonderful group going, everyone is incredibly welcoming and excited to meet anyone who would like to join us. You and any character you’d like to bring will be loved and welcomed within our group!

Now, on to those lovely questions my dear! As far as FC suggestions for Sid- after some discussion between myself and my co-admin, here are the FCs we believe could work for him!: Nat Zang, Tyler Posey, Alex Saxon, Ehren Kassam, Joe Keery, Jeremy Irvine, Ryan Potter, Cody Christian, Asa Butterfield, Dev Patel, Josh Hutcherson, Dylan Minette, Lakeith Stanfield, Luke Benward, John Boyega, Boo Boo Stewart, or Tye Sheridan!

FCs for Princess Ariel: Rose Leslie, Bonnie Wright, Emma Stone, Kat McNamara, Katie Leclerc, Karen Gillan, Isla Fisher, Rachel Hurd-Wood, Zendaya, Lily Cole, Annalise Basso, Jordyn Woods, Teyana Taylor, or SZA!

Thirty years ago this week, an emerging but yet ubiquitous kids network by the name of Nickelodeon launched its first original animated series. Introduced on 11 August 1991 under the “Nicktoons” brand. Doug, rugrats, And The Rain and Stimpy Display would soon become a hit and change the course of animation, television and popular culture in a big way. To mark the anniversary, the ringer looking back Nick’s best character ever And the legacy of the network as a whole. Throughout the week, we’ll be publishing essays, features, and interviews to get to the heart of what makes Nick so dangerous and now so nostalgic.

After more than 2.5 million votes in 63 rounds of contests, the winner of the best Nickelodeon character bracket is clear. Or is it?

Throughout the final round on Friday evening, SpongeBob SquarePants and Tommy Pickles had a tough social media battle. On Instagram, the former voted marginally by about five percentage points. On Twitter, Tommy got dangerously close to narrowing the gap, with the vote split almost 50-50.

But at around 7:30 p.m. ET, with voting ending in 90 minutes, we began to notice something strange: Tommy was rioting in our website poll.

Now, of course it’s not uncommon for our web page polls to vary. to some extent From those on Twitter and Instagram. Different demographics favor different voting methods; Anecdotally, I find that younger voters appear more prominently on social media, while the older generation – those who have grown up Rugrats-There may be more presence on the website.

But given the astonishing lead, Tommy had exceeded the odds-on favorite of the tournament, winning—albeit very little, but nonetheless. win-On two out of three voting platforms, we knew something was wrong. That disparity, combined with the fact that the poll had registered more voters than the total page views on the post, raised red flags. Additionally, we’ve seen this suspicious activity happen in a bracket before: people who were around for the Best TV Character of the Century Bracket are well aware of the Gob Bluth debacle, in which a hacker apparently shot Gob. Bots were prepared to rig the election for the over. Ron Swanson. We had a precedent for this type of reprehensible behavior, and just like in that example, we had to make a big call.

That call, after careful consideration, was to exclude website votes. And with the winner of the social media polls decided, we can now declare the champion: SpongeBob SquarePants is the best Nickelodeon character of all time.

clearly, as was typical rugrats‘Ol’ Stew and Didi Pickles weren’t paying attention to their son. With Grandpa Lou and perhaps Angelica – bitter about his defeat at Sweet 16 by Rocko – with sinister encouragement in Tommy’s ears, he hacks the bracket. This is what happens when you leave children unattended; They will wreak havoc.

But a child has to do what a child is supposed to do, and in this case he was doing everything he had to do to have any hope of defeating SpongeBob. In the midst of all this bracket malfeasance, let us not forget how challenging the Bikini Bottom resident was always to be an opponent. Tommy may have kickstarted the Nicktoons revolution, but RPG is the modern king of Nickelodeon, reaching beyond international borders and language. He was on full display in this tournament, as he started the first two competitions with complete dominance over Catdog and Cosmo and Wanda. SpongeBob defends again double DareK Mark Summers and Tommy’s best friend, Chucky, got an average of 77 percent of the vote in four rounds. SpongeBob faced his toughest test up to that point in the Final Four: Arnold Shortman, a fellow 1-seed. but in the end, Hey Arnold! Hero was no match for Sponge Bob, who prevailed with an overall score of 59-41.

Congratulations to SpongeBob SquarePants. He stepped into the contest, looked into the eyes of his challengers, and said, “I’m ready.” And finally, he now claims to be the greatest character in Nickelodeon’s history.

Despite the controversial final, I want to thank everyone who (considerably) voted in our bracket. It was a week full of joyful nostalgia, fond memories and amusing, friendly debates. In this tournament, we really learned the power of the generational divide. But once we came to this conclusion, we all agreed that no matter when you were born, where you were from, or what you liked to watch, Nickelodeon left an indelible mark on all of us. left a mark Thank you for participating. we had a blast.
