When Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn first launched, it felt game-changing. A high-production continuation of the massively popular Universal Century timeline that actually continued the story rather than simply tell a side story during the original series or Zeta. The OAV series was massively popular, even spawning a…
While there was a LOT to get excited for in the English versions of February 13th’s Nintendo Direct, the Japanese one actually had even more games stuffed into its runtime. Now, most of those exclusive games have already been announced to be coming out in the West (or are already released in certain cases), but it’s…
For many years, voice actor Vic Mignogna has entertained audiences worldwide with his many roles in popular anime. From Keldeo in Pokémon: Kyurem and the Sword of Justice to Tamaki in Ouran High School Host Club to Qrow Branwen in RWBY to Broly in the Dragon Ball franchise, and, of course, his most famous role of…
Nintendo’s Classic Edition systems have done pretty well for them, forcing Sega to step up their game and finally cut ties with AtGames and now inspiring Sony to make a Classic Edition of their original Playstation system. But after taking a look at the rest of Nintendo’s 20th-Century systems, it’s time to take a step…
With a Shonen Jump property as big as My Hero Academia is right now, it’s no surprise that a movie was incoming sooner or later. Well, that time is now. Is the movie Plus Ultra enough to stand alongside the awesome anime, or should it get failed out of the class for having no potential?
Ever since coming back from the dead in 2012, Toonami has been a fixture on Saturday nights on Adult Swim.

Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball is one of the modern age’s most enduring properties. It is one of the few anime that has reached mainstream status and is an instant moneymaker worldwide.

With the huge success of the NES Classic Edition and the SNES Classic Edition, people rightly assume that Nintendo will continue this line with the Nintendo 64 Classic Edition (which I did a theoretical games list for here), though as others have noted, it presents its own problems.
So, with the massive success of the NES Classic Edition and SNES Classic Edition, and the very likely possibility that the upcoming Nintendo Switch Online service will not have games past the SNES for a while, there’s been a lot of talk about Nintendo possibly releasing a Nintendo 64 Classic Edition and what games…
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is shaping up to be the best in the series and arguably one of the best games ever made.
