Otakus & Geeks Arcade Week: Hook

We continued our look at television/movie beat em ups with Hook. PETER PAN has now grown up, and is far away from NEVERLAND, but his old enemy CAPTAIN HOOK has not forgotten and schemes his revenge. Kidnapping Peter's children, he lures our hero back to the island of PIRATES and "LOST BOYS" for a final confrontation. With the help of TINKERBELL, the faithful fairy, you take on the role of PETER in this magic adventure fraught with danger and excitement.

Otakus & Geeks Arcade Week: TMNT Turtles In Time

Some say that this game surpass the original.  I say that it's just as good. It has one catchy theme song though.

Sunday evening. You're sitting around the sewer watching your main reported, April O'Neil do a live remote from the Statue of Liberty. Then it happens. A humungoso flying android screams out of the sky and rips Lady Liberty from her foundation, sending hundreds of freaked out tourists into the harbor below. "No way!" cries Raphael. "Way," replies Donatello. And the crazy quantum chase is on! Journey through multiple levels of enormous graphics, the largest and craziest talking Turtles ever with eons of bodacious battlegrounds, from prehistoric to futuristic galaxies. Get ready for the 3-D jab and toss that sends enemies flying right in your face. Mondo body slams and pizza power bonuses make you more Turtle than ever before. You better believe you're going to need it. Shredder's out for Turtle hide. And he's got all the time in the world to get it.

Otakus & Geeks Arcade Week: TMNT The Arcade Game

This week Otakus & Geeks celebrates the great Arcade games. To kick things off I take a look at my personal favorite game TMNT The Arcade Game.

Christopher Lloyd returns as Doc Brown in LEGO Dimensions trailer

Christopher Lloyd is back as Doc Brown from Back to the Future!  One of the most iconic characters in movie history has returned in a trailer for the upcoming LEGO Dimensions video game (available starting September 27).  For the first time ever, the worlds and favorite characters from DC Comics, The Simpsons, The Lord of the Rings, The LEGO Movie, Back to the Future, The Wizard of Oz, Scooby Doo, Jurassic World, Ghostbusters and Doctor Who are coming together to be part of an all new immersive adventure. 

In the trailer, Christopher Lloyd reprises his role as Doc Brown discovering a LEGO version of himself and the game’s portal, which will allow players to integrate special LEGO figures, vehicles and items into the game.

LEGO Dimensions allows players to expand their imaginations beyond traditional gaming to merge physical LEGO brick building with interactive console gameplay (Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and Wii U) in a manner only possible in the world of LEGO games.

LEGO Dimensions is an amazing mash-up of some of the most popular characters in movie, TV and comic book history.  For the first time in any LEGO videogame, fan-favorite universes are fused together just like players can do with LEGO sets in real life.   LEGO Dimensions further extends the LEGO play experience into the digital world with all of the characters, humor and action of LEGO videogames now combined with the fun of LEGO minifigure and model building.

KINGDOM HEARTS III to Include Big Hero 6

SQUARE ENIX® and Disney Interactive today announced that the beloved characters and world of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Academy Award®-winning film Big Hero 6 will make their debut in the ever-expanding narrative of KINGDOM HEARTS III.

The much-anticipated addition to the KINGDOM HEARTS franchise will take Sora and a cast of Disney companions to the urban setting of San Fransokyo, home of lovable robot Baymax, continuing the events of the animated film.

At D23 Expo 2015, Academy Award®-winning producer Roy Conli delighted fans with the announcement that Big Hero 6 characters will be an integral part of KINGDOM HEARTS III. In a video message for D23 attendees, Conli draws parallels between core elements of the animated film and the overarching KINGDOM HEARTS story, remarking: “Big Hero 6 is such a special film for me - and we always made sure that each action sequence had a very special meaning. The themes in KINGDOM HEARTS and Big Hero 6 match very well. For instance there’s friendship, really important to both stories, and then of course light over darkness.”

The Walt Disney Animation Studios collaboration announcement featuring Conli can be viewed below.
