Interested in Film, Television or Video Game reviews, how about Music, Comics and general opinions on the above? Then you've come to the right place. Enjoy.
Even before the Nolan films had come out, I highly doubt I’ll be able to
go up to anyone, ask them if they’ve heard of Batman and not get a Yes in some
form. While this may not be recent, it’s a great way to introduce the other
aspect of Opening Impressions, it’s not limited to currently airing seasons,
just what I’m currently watching and I’ve got something to say on the matter,
so... The Batman.
I did put this up as a Strawpoll, something that will be a
common thing for stuff like this. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Season 5.
If you’ve read the review of the last four season, then you’ll know what I’m
going to say, nothing much has changed. But to be fair, by the fifth season,
the only thing that’s going to change is the situations. At time of writing,
all I’ve seen is the first three episodes, a two parter that introduces a new
villain, and a world building episode.
Toys to games has always been a model I’ve been very
cautious of. The idea is simple enough, pay for a special figure that has an
RFID chip in its base, place the figure on some sort of reader and play as that
character in the game itself, a sort of “Physical DLC” if you would. Currently,
there are three franchises that use this model, Skylanders which focuses on
Spyro esque creatures, Disney Infinity which is what happens when you combine
Garry’s Mod, Disney and Skylanders and finally Nintendo’s amiibo, which are
designed to work across multiple game franchises to unlock small things in the
individual games like costumes, weapons, sparing partners, ect. Out of the
three, I do have to admit, while at times to hard to actually find, the amiibo
are the best executed so far. To me, it feels like I’m forced to pay for the
characters I may only use once. Skylanders figures are limited to Skylanders,
same as Disney Infinity’s are limited to Disney Infinity. While the amiibo are
limited to Nintendo consoles, they’re not limited to one or two games
(theoretically). I can use my Link amiibo in Super Smash Brothers for 3DS (once
the peripheral comes out as I don’t have a new 3DS) and WiiU, Mario Kart 8 and
Hyrule Warriors as an example. While I think more variety with the already
released amiibo would be nice, it’s better than just limited to one or two
games in the case of Disney Infinity. Tt Games wants in on this model as well,
and what better franchise then the LEGO Games, hence LEGO Dimensions.
You see, I would add in some sort of witty title and the name of the material that is the subject of this post. But, this already does it so well for me. So...
So, with more news coming out for Digimon Adventure Tri,
Digimon Fusion Season 2 decides to make its appearance (why it took a year is
beyond me, seeing as it was first aired a few years ago in Japan). Jeremy and
Angie (two people I didn’t bring attention to in the Season 1 review) take
their leave, and we now focus on all three of the Digi Destined, who actually
have Digivices.
I’ve got to hand it to the Nintendo Directs, they know how
to grab my curiosity when it comes to games. I remember hearing about this game
years ago and I, like a lot of others, thought it was a dead project. It wasn’t
actually until the end of the trailer, when they gave the name of the game,
that I realised what it was. Granted, I’ve got no experience with Shin Megami
Tensai and its, very similar, side series Persona. But when the trailer
started, I thought it was a Persona game. Everything I saw about the trailer looked like it was a Persona game
(based on what I’ve heard thanks to word of mouth).
Its surprising how much the Bayformers films can drain from you when you watch them in a row in the space of a week. Fun fact: This was going to be the final review of the Transformers Marathon.
If you were to ask me "What was the best thing to come out of the Bayformers films?" the only thing I would say is "The Aftermath". New takes on the stories came to the TV shows, bringing back aspects from previous generations. The first was Transformers Animated, almost a direct sequel to Generation 1 and then came the subject of this review: Transformers Prime. A fresh reboot for a old story, time to delve into the world of Transformers Prime.
Yes, I'm not dead (something that I hope would be clear from the Twitter posts). While I wasn't sure if I could sustain weekly content during the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, I have been working on content behind the scenes for you all to enjoy. So Nintendo has unveiled the Smash Ballot, fans can choose who they want to see in Super Smash Brothers for 3DS and WiiU as DLC. And with everyone saying who they want to see, I thought I'd throw my own list into the mix. These are just my opinions on the matter, looking at who I think would work in the games based on what the actual rosters have been for the Super Smash Brothers games, possible move sets and their connection to Nintendo.
It pains me to conclude the Digimon Marathon so quickly, but sadly schedules can be a pain sometimes. There is however, one last completed season to review, and with both Season 2 and the upcoming Digimon Adventure Tri to look forward to, I guarantee this won't be the last time Digimon makes an appearance here. Time to delve into the world of Digimon Fusion.
