Link Tank: New Dragon Ball Super Movie in Development

New DVD release, , ,
A new Dragon Ball Super movie has been announced.

Now, a sequel movie is gearing up for a rematch. Other than it’s scheduled to premiere in 2022, we know virtually nothing about this second Dragon Ball Super movie, of course.” Read more at Gizmodo. Gal Gadot confirms that Joss Whedon tried to threaten her career on the set of Justice League over disputes of Wonder…

The Nintendo Fan Games That Tried to Revitalize Pokémon, Metroid, and Super Smash Bros.

New DVD release, , , , , ,
In 2016, Milton Guasti’s Metroid 2 remake (AM2R) was released online after a decade of work. One day later, Nintendo sent DMCA takedown requests to the websites that hosted it. Many fans were shocked by the decision. Guasti seems more surprised by the efficiency of it. “Throughout the years I started seeing that [a takedown] could be possible,” Guasti recalls. “What I was not expecting was that it happened so fast.” New fan-made gaming projects are developed and distributed all the time, and often embraced by studios, but as those in the creative community know, Nintendo has historically been adamant about…

Was Captain America: Super Soldier Almost Part of the MCU Canon?

New DVD release, , , , ,
If you’re anything like me, you probably haven’t thought about 2011’s Captain America: Super Soldier in years (if you remember the game at all). While a decent enough action game in its own right, Super Soldier is perhaps best remembered as a remnant of a very brief time when MCU films were adapted into video games that were often released the same week as the movies. However, I recently heard an interesting rumor that I haven’t been able to shake. That rumor suggests that Super Soldier isn’t just based on an MCU film but at one point was meant to…

Super Mario 3D World Never Promised a Revolution, But Still Stands Apart 8 Years Later

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Getting a new Mario game, even one ported from a previous generation, always feels like opening a present on Christmas morning. Nintendo obviously knows this, having gone so far as to include the never-before-seen Bowser’s Fury expansion as a bonus for players already familiar with the wonders of Super Mario 3D World. And while this new side experiment may not quite be enough to encourage returning players to undertake a second playthrough, newcomers finally have the chance to play one of the most underappreciated Super Mario gems on Nintendo Switch. It’s an apt way to cap off the plumber’s 35th…

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s Pyra and Mythra Surprised Nintendo Fans and the Internet

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Well, that Nintendo Direct sure did feature some unexpected announcements. Despite the fact that many of the surprises leaked on an internet forum ahead of the actual broadcast, such as The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD and Mario Golf: Super Rush reveals, the beloved publisher still managed to keep a few things under wraps, such as the big Super Smash Bros. Ultimate moment that opened the show. That’s right, we finally know who’s joining Nintendo’s brawler next and it’s none other than Pyra and Mythra! If you’re a Xenoblade fan, you’re probably very excited to see the legendary Aegis…

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: Who Are Pyra and Mythra?

New DVD release, , ,
The long wait for the reveal of the latest Super Smash Bros. Ultimate characters is finally over as Nintendo has announced that Mythra/Pyra will join the game’s astonishing collection of playable fighters. Nintendo’s confirmation of the latest Super Smash Bros. Ultimate characters has prompted the usual reactions from franchise fans everywhere. Of course, that’s really another way of saying that there are legions of fans out there who are still (vocally) wondering why Waluigi, Geno, and Sora aren’t in the game despite years of requests. As nearly every Smash Bros. update has taught us, though, it’s hard to please everyone…

Nintendo Direct 2/17 Trailers: Super Smash Bros, Mario Golf, Zelda, and More

New DVD release, , , , , ,
It’s been quite a while since Nintendo has hosted a substantial Direct presentation that focuses on trailers and news for the biggest upcoming Switch games. In fact, this February 17th showcase was the Nintendo Direct of its kind since September 2019. Of course, the long gap between such presentations is understandable given that the COVID-19 pandemic delayed production schedules across the industry and impacted everyone’s ability to share substantial updates about their upcoming releases. As a result, 2020 Nintendo Direct presentations were highlighted by a celebration of Super Mario‘s 35th anniversary, indie showcases, and various Super Smash Bros. updates. At…

Super Mario 3D World: How to Unlock Everything

New DVD release, , , ,
Along with being one of the best Super Mario platformers ever made, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury is an expertly crafted Nintendo adventure filled with surprises and unlockables. While all currently available evidence suggests that Daisy is not one of those unlockable surprises (sorry fans), earning everything in Super Mario 3D World and Bowser’s Fury will take quite a bit of time. In some cases, it also requires you to look beyond the boundaries of the title and take on unique challenges. So if you’re using Super Mario 3D World to help you survive the wait for a…

Super Mario 3D World: How Many Worlds Are in the Nintendo Switch Port?

New DVD release, , , , ,
Super Mario 3D World is now available for Nintendo Switch, which means that millions of fans are finally getting a chance to play one of the best 3D Super Mario games ever made after it originally debuted on the doomed to fail Wii U. If you’re one of those many gamers that never got the chance to experience Super Mario 3D World the first time around, you may be wondering what it’s all about. Well, while the recently added Bowser’s Fury expansion adds a new ingredient to the formula, Super Mario 3D World is essentially what it presents itself to…

Super Mario 3D World: Is Daisy in the Game?

New DVD release, , ,
While Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury includes more than enough content to keep Super Mario fans busy while we wait for Super Mario Odyssey 2 (or whatever comes next), fans can’t help but talk about Daisy: a character that doesn’t initially appear be in the game. See, much like Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario 3D World lets you choose between several playable characters that have their own unique abilities. Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad are available from the start, and you’ll be able to unlock Rosalina later on after you’ve completed the necessary objectives. You’ll also be…

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury Review Roundup

New DVD release, , , , ,
While Super Mario 3D World‘s original 2013 launch on the Nintendo Wii U could certainly be considered a success, it’s also clear that this underappreciated Mario platformer was held back at least somewhat by the platform itself. The Wii U, a confusing follow up to the much more successful Wii, sold well below projections, forcing Nintendo to ditch the platform (and its library of games) much sooner than it had planned. Fortunately, the Switch, which has sold more than 60 million more units than its predecessor, has allowed the company to find many of the Wii U’s best games a…

15 Super Mario Games That Never Happened

New DVD release, , , ,
Super Mario 3D World’s upcoming debut on Nintendo Switch is a major moment for many Mario fans who didn’t get the chance to play one of the best games in franchise history when it was released for Wii U. In some ways, it’s actually seen as a “lost” Mario game by those who never found a reason to purchase what is arguably Nintendo’s worst console ever. What you may not know, though, is that there have actually been many Super Mario games over the years that were never released for one reason or another. Why many of these projects are…

Future State is the Next Evolution for DC’s Legion of Super-Heroes

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains spoilers for Future State: Legion of Super-Heroes #1 Never let it be said that Brian Michael Bendis doesn’t know how to keep busy. The prolific writer has had his hands full since coming to DC in 2018. Arriving with much fanfare on both Superman and Action Comics, Bendis also relaunched Young Justice, co-created a new DC mainstay in Naomi, wrote the excellent Batman: Universe, shepherded the Event Leviathan mini, and more. All of these books introduced new characters, re-tooled existing ones (such as aging up young Jonathan Kent to his mid-teens), and set various wheels in motion…

Super Mario 3D World: What’s Up With All the Cat Ears in Bowser’s Fury?

New DVD release, , ,
Nintendo has finally showcased the Bowser’s Fury DLC that will be included with the long-awaited Super Mario 3D World remaster for Nintendo Switch. If you haven’t checked out the trailer yet, I highly recommend you do so now. There’s quite a lot to break down in that trailer. Not only does Bowser’s Fury look far more substantial than some were previously anticipating (the design of the DLC’s world reminds people of the more open-ended levels featured in Super Mario Odyssey) but the brief teaser offers some tantalizing glimpses at compelling gameplay sequences that make buying Super Mario 3D World for…

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Adds Sephiroth to the DLC Roster

New DVD release, , , ,
After a series of somewhat underwhelming reveals, Nintendo came through by confirming that Sephiroth will be the next character to join the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster. This makes Sephiroth the third character added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate‘s second Fighter Pass following the debuts of Min Min from Arms and Steve: he whose fame derives largely (though not entirely) from the realm, kingdom, and universe of Minecraft. More importantly, the addition of Sephiroth to the Smash Bros. roster means that it’s now possible to pit Sephiroth against fellow Final Fantasy 7 legend cloud within the unique confines of Nintendo’s…

Game & Watch Super Mario Bros Review

New DVD release, , ,
40 years after it was first introduced, Nintendo’s vintage line of Game & Watch handhelds has come full circle in honor of Mario’s 35th birthday. And what better way to celebrate such a special occasion than with the game that practically started it all? It’s true that 1985’s Super Mario Bros. for the NES has been released countless times over on various platforms through the decades, but it’s been expertly rendered again here in this neat and nostalgia-fueled package. Now lovingly brought to life on a crisp 2.36-inch, LCD color screen, the aptly named Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros.…
