Re: Rumour: Sonic 2 Movie Could Be Arriving Soon On Paramount+

This is becoming standard now, The Batman is already on streaming. Sonic 2 is a really fun film though with a great end credits sequence and a cool scene after the credits finish. There’s loads of references and throwbacks to the early games too. Well worth a couple of viewings.

Re: Video: Wii Sports - What Makes It Iconic?

It was just pure fun that could be played by anyone and had that unique hook that anyone watching wanted to play. Sure the Wii remotes didn’t work as 1 to 1 accuracy but the fun came from moving your arms about and actually being convinced you were playing tennis etc.

Re: Bitmap Books Unveils The King Of Fighters: The Ultimate History

Some of their books are great but some of them are definitely style over substance, I got the last one - Go Straight, guide to side scrolling beat-em ups and it was ok, but the book has so many pages it was unwieldy and difficult to actually sit down with and read. Also some of the biggest games had very little coverage in comparison to lesser known and unpopular games. The layouts are very lacklustre too and there are obvious errors where the authors have either missed out the obvious or just haven’t done their research.
If you’re interested in gaming art books I’d go for the Udon Capcom ones or try and source the Mook art books from Japan which often show up on eBay.
