Review: Mick & Mack as the Global Gladiators on Master System

Thursday, March 6th, 2014

globalsms02

Licensed games don’t come as bizarre as Mick & Mack as the Global Gladiators. This strange title sees you take control of a child who is tasked with ridding the world of toxic waste monsters. Oh and it’s licensed by McDonalds. Wait… what?

If you want to find out exactly how peculiarly this concept is executed you can now read our review of the Master System version of the game.

SEGA Tunes: Banjo Cover of the Monster Village Theme from Wonder Boy III

Sunday, March 2nd, 2014

It’s not often someone sends you a message saying “here’s a video I made featuring a cover of the Monster Village theme from Wonder Boy III. Also it’s been done on a banjo.” Well that’s exactly what happened to me recently and the video was supplied by a certain Ollie LongZ; a talented little musician who has recently taken to arranging banjo covers of video game themes. Check out the impressive little arrangement below:

Here’s hoping Ollie has more SEGA covers up his sleeve, but if you’re interested you can check out another of Ollie’s cover’s by clicking here (it’s a Castlevania one).

First Screens of Akira Yuki in Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax

Friday, February 28th, 2014

There you have it; Akira Yuki from Virtua Fighter in Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax!

Akira appears as a part of the 20th anniversary celebrations of the release of the original Virtua Fighter. His appearance in Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax is that of a boss character who is partnered with Pai Chan as a support character.

As Akira only appears as a boss character he is not playable in the arcade game. Fingers crossed this will change if the game gets a home console release.

Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax is out in Japanese arcades this Spring.
