WARNING: The following episode contains spoilers for the Danganronpa series
The Entertainment Dome is back after a two-week hiatus, so you know what that means? Danganronpa 3 talk! Seriously, James and I essentially spend an hour recapping the last 6 episodes of the show, so I hope you all enjoy it. And if you don’t, I can only apologise.
This week on The Entertainment Dome, James and I manage to keep all the anime talk brief for once, before moving on to Nintendo’s recent DMCA take-downs, as well as our opinions on Metroid Prime: Federation Force and the current state and future of the Metroid series.
What I Think may be on a hiatus of sorts at the moment, but that doesn’t mean James and I can’t do Entertainment Dome episodes! This week, we continue to express joy, anger, sadness and confusion at the roller-coaster that is Danganronpa 3, we pretend to act surprised about Telltale’s terrible PC version of their Batman game and we get particularly excited over all the new details for Pokémon Sun & Moon.
This week on The Entertainment Dome, we’re still complaining about the Ace Attorney anime and loving/hating Danganronpa 3. But we DO talk about actual news later on; specifically Telltale’s “multiplayer” announcement, the latest NX rumours and the two new Sonic the Hedgehog games.
I hope you like more anime talk because that’s literally all we talk about on this week’s Entertainment Dome. If you do, then listen on as we bang on about the recent episodes of Ace Attorney, Berserk and Danganronpa 3.
There’s something about crossovers that’s just inherently exciting. The idea of taking two or more different franchises or characters and having them interact is something that’s been capable of generating headlines and making fans wet themselves in delight for years, whether it be in comic books, films or videogames. Which is why it’s so irritating when a crossover ends up not delivering.
Whether it be due to a poor story, lack of imagination, the franchises in question not gelling together very well or those involved having no proper understanding of how to make it work, some crossovers fail to be the spectacular clash of titans they were meant to be and are instead bland, unassuming and, overall, disappointing. And here are five examples I’ve personally seen within the world of videogames; ones that contain a plethora of mistakes that, hopefully, future videogame crossovers won’t make. Continue reading
WARNING: The following episode contains spoilers for Ace Attorney and the Danganronpa series
This week on The Entertainment Dome, James shares his thoughts on the new direction Evolve has taken, I get particularly irate over the recent episode of Ace Attorney and we both get very excited over the new Danganronpa 3 anime.
WARNING: The following episode contains spoilers for RWBY Volume 3
After a week’s hiatus due to sudden illness, James and I return to The Entertainment Dome to catch up on all those Ace Attorney episode we neglected to talk about. Not only that, but James also shares his first impressions of the new Berserk anime, as well as the new Pokémon revealed for Sun & Moon. Also, I’m really quiet for some reason. Better use headphones.
It’s weird how quickly fans of the Kirby series were willing to accept the idea of the pink puffball piloting a robot. Normally, a deviation from the norm is a sure-fire way to incite unwarranted anger in people. I mean, look at some other franchises.
When The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker was announced with its cel-shaded graphics and kid-friendly appearance, it was immediately deemed by some fans as the worst game ever. When Banjo & Kazooie made their triumphant return with some weird racing-but-not-really-racing game, gamers everywhere vomited profusely at the mere sight of it. And do I even need to mention how nearly every Sonic the Hedgehog game since the early 2000s splits the fanbase in half?
Yet with this title, Kirby: Planet Robobot, nobody seemed to have a bad thing to say about the idea. I’m sure there’s at least one person who saw the inclusion of a robot as some kind of assault on their childhood but I personally never saw any criticism regarding the concept. But was all this acceptance well placed? Were we right to be so confident in this new idea? Well, that’s what this review’s all about. Continue reading
James and I are back to finish off our thoughts on this year’s E3! Not much else to say except to listen in on our opinions towards the samplings of Sony, Nintendo and Square Enix.
