RETRO REBOOT!! Street Fighter II Champion Edition (Arcade)

The history of Street Fighter II and its influence on the world of fighting games is so vast, I could have covered it from the start and end of January and it would still be difficult to do it justice. It's a fighting game released in 1991 that has received tweaks and additions as late as 2017 on the Nintendo Switch's Ultra Street Fighter 2: The Final…

Cyberpunk 2077 Is Getting A Huge Delay

This comes from Co-founder Marcin Iwinski and Head of Studio Adam Badowski of CD Projekt Red...

As you can see they need more time to polish up Cyberpunk 2077. I say take all the time you need. I'd rather play a finished, polished game than a rushed Fallout 76. With saying that see you on September 17th, 2020 (allegedly).

Does this make you want to…

RETRO REBOOT!! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tournament Fighters (SNES)

If there's a 16-bit fighter that can hang with the heavyweights, it's Tournament Fighters. I remember when we first saw the commercials for this game, it looked very impressive right out the gate. Unfortunately, we rented the Mega Drive version and were introduced to the really ungood interpretation of the game. The SNES port of TMNT Tournament…

It's fighting game month on Retro Reboot. And why not kick the theme off with a little bit of head-to-head, ultra violent action with a Retro Reboot Vs? Which of these two 16-bit titans of tournament fighting were the better game? Mortal Kombat II or Killer Instinct? 

For Retro Reboot Vs, what I aim to do is compare similar traits each game…

The New Mutants

20th Century Fox has dropped a new trailer for their Super Hero\thriller movie "The New Mutants" and it doesn't look all that bad to be honest. 

The once TV series turned movie turned TV series and then back into a movie was in development hell for awhile. Originally pitched as a trilogy of movies suffered a lot of post production issues. Then…

RETRO REBOOT!! Soldiers Of Fortune: The Chaos Engine (Super Nintendo)

A part of why I felt compelled to take a retrospective on a game like Soldiers of Fortune is because 2019 was a year where for whatever reason the "PC vs console" arguments were at a fever pitch. The myth being PC players are mean elitists who look down on everything console related. What gets lost in a lot of that jargon is back when MS-DOS…

Be On The Lookout for the "Nanica Smitch"

I'm legitimately surprised this has the temerity to exist. Knockoff consoles are far from a new concept, there are many hackneyed ROM-based consoles over the years (the SouljaGame was only last year, 2018, imagine that) that can act as a cheap alternative to buying a video game console. In other countries, a Playstation 4 can run for $1,845 US…
