While you guys wait for news on a new Mass Effect, Hasbro/WotC snapped up most of the core creative staff and are making their own spiritual successor in Exodus. Expected release in early 2027. We got a thread going here: https://www.allspark.com/home/threads/exodus-hasbros-mass-effect.3212/

A new gameplay trailer dropped during The Game Awards, showcasing more of the world and characters. It remains VERY Mass Effect. The trailer seems to be indicating an “Early 2027” release date for the game.

I’m not overly optimistic, or at least not overly captivated by yet another sidescroller Megaman game. Guys like Inti Creates have kept the “Mega spirit” going in their Gunvolt franchise, so I was hoping that for a grand comeback, Capcom might do something more ambitious. I would LOVE to see a...

They doin' the lawds work, 'ner.

A NEW (old) CHALLENGER APPROACHES! https://www.reuters.com/legal/transactional/paramount-makes-1084-billion-bid-warner-bros-discovery-2025-12-08/ David Ellison launched a hostile bid after the announcement of Netflix's acquisition of Warner Bros. Adding almost 20 extra billion to the total...

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-says-netflix-warner-bros-deal-problem-will-involved-approval-rcna247923 Given who we’re talking about, he’s basically trying to blackmail Netflix for some cash like he did with Skydance to get their merger with Paramount approved.

Metroid Prime 3 was built around the Wii Waggle, so I think the big issue is trying to integrate all that gameplay into a standard control scheme. It’s similar to the issues Skyward Sword faced in potential ports. But with the mouse functionality on Switch 2, that seems like a viable...

I didn’t even read it. TECHNICALLY, the deal isn’t even close to finalized given regulatory approvals necessary. But given the current political climate…despite the fuss from a number of progressives, I don’t see much barrier to this. The biggest pushback might actually come from theatre...

Proof that, eventually, everything in comics becomes nostalgic.

Might have to ask for hand to make it

Just an FYI: Walmarts are getting their “Gift Trains” displays for the holidays, and they got the $5 Blokees sets in them. While the main aisle seems to be getting Parallel Universe (IDW Prime), the offerings in the feature are Autobot Run (Bumblebee). For us late comers, solid chance to get...

Yeah, the prices are dragging on me too. But, oddly, I find the Combaticons, as “characters”, among the more interesting of the lot. Probably due to how much they got used in the cartoon. Not sure I’d get all five (unless Onslaught sees a good deal, which you never know), but I know Swindle...

And you know DAMN well had there been music in the desert, somebody would have complained about it “ruining the isolated atmosphere” or some crap. I managed to play a few hours in handheld last night. I’ve got into Volt Forge and basically reached right before you seem to get Viola, so I got...

I’m assuming it will continue to exist for the foreseeable future. The acquisition process won’t even begin until next year when WBD finishes its grand split, and the integration process will be another year or two, at least. WBD still has assorted streaming agreements that will probably run...

It’s official: Netflix will acquire the Warner Bros IP, catalogs, streaming and production assets after the existing WBD completes its mitosis next year. Valued at nearly $83 BILLION, the acquisition will bring a host of assets to Netflix like century old catalog of films from Warner Bros, MGM...

Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment and Kirby Air Riders were released last month for the Switch 2. Prior to Metroid, the last big Switch 1 release was the last Pokémon installment back in October.

My presumption (assuming that all four "Scramble Combiners" were developed at the same time) is that a Shuttle limb was chosen to add a contrast to the other combat vehicles that didn't tread on the toes of the Aerialbots, whose limbs are all fighter jets. And TECHNICALLY, space shuttles are...

Metroid Prime 4 is out today, I'm getting my copy later. But looking at comparisons and reviews... The Switch 1 is seemingly a technical marvel overshadowed by the Switch 2's overall better visual presentation. Both run at 60fps (Switch 1 at 1080p with dynamic resolution; Switch 2 at 4K, 1080p...

FWIW, Major retailers have discounted the Mario Kart Switch 2 bundle this past week, possibly in an attempt to clear out inventory as Nintendo claims production should be done. Price is down to $449, basically making Mario Kart World a free game.

And let's be honest here: The fandom at this stage has PLENTY of talented artist (professional or amateur) capable of being just as cheap, just as fast, and probably produce a better product.
