Posted on 11 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
In an interview posted on its website, SEGA executive director and Osamu Ohashi was asked about how Sonic will be developed in the future. That led Ohashi to mention how the goal is for the franchise to surpass Mario.
He pointed out how SEGA respects Mario, but never actually achieved the goal of surpassing him. Not only does the company want Sonic to be played worldwide, but also for the movies to do better and for Sonic to be featured at Universal Studios.

[Review] Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1
Posted on 11 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: October 24, 2023
Developer: Konami
Publisher: Konami
Even though I’m a certified Old-Head that writes about games, it’s difficult for me to properly encapsulate the cultural importance that Metal Gear games once exuded both pre and post release. The hype surrounding anything series creator Hideo Kojima touched was intense and all-consuming. Rest assured that if there was ever a month in which a new Metal Gear game was being released, just about nothing else mattered. The franchise has always been rightly held up as an example of unbridled creativity and auteur sensibility within the games industry – following the release of Metal Gear Solid V in 2015 however, Kojima left Konami under less than ideal circumstances. Rumors swirled regarding creative disputes and budgetary constraints – and following a poorly received Kojima-less spinoff in 2018, Metal Gear was put to bed.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 Rocko spotlight trailer
Posted on 11 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch, Videos | 0 comments
For the latest Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 spotlight trailer, we have a look at Rocko from Rocko’s Modern Life.
One of his big mechanics is Spunky, who can be called out with his neutral special to chase after opponents. He can also make use of a jackhammer (which can be used in combination with Spunky), the Suck-O-Matic, Conglom-O Rocket (mostly for recovery), pogo stick, and bowling ball. Rocko’s range is shorter than most other characters in the game, but has a strong combo game and versatile moveset.
Yes, Kevin Afghani seems to be the new Wario voice actor
Posted on 11 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Kevin Afghani was recently confirmed as the voice of Mario and Luigi, and unsurprisingly, it looks like he was cast as the actor for Wario as well.
That news comes from the credits in WarioWare: Move It, which has the character having new voice lines since Charles Martinet retired from the role. Afghani is listed as the game’s principle performer. Given how it was already announced that he’s the new voice actor for Mario and Luigi, the news about Wario doesn’t come as much of a surprise.
