A short one today, because it’s Thanksgiving, after all!
- The Ringer had a
cool retrospective on Tecmo Super
Bowl, because it’s the 25-year anniversary for the game. Check out our show
on the game here!
- Also on The Ringer, their podcast network now has a vidya
game show! It’s called Achievement Oriented, and they had Jennifer Hale on to
talk about the
vidya game voiceover artist strike.
- From Polygon via Variety, the Mortal Kombat movie reboot might be directed by Simon McQuoid. Read
more here.
ON THIS DAY (OR CLOSE
TO IT!) IN VIDEO GAME HISTORY…
- Sonic the Hedgehog 2
was released in 1992. It added Tails as a secondary character, as well as the “dash”
ability thing when you’re in a ball, which was actually hella helpful.
Video game history

That Ringer article is one of the best things I've read all year. I never played a Tecmo Bowl game until about 10 years ago. I'll never forget playing with a friend and the first things he showed me were dropping back for a 100 yard pass and 100 hats field goals being a real thing in the game.
ReplyDeleteSince then I picked up Super Bowl on NES and a updated version of it at a convention work 2010 rosters. Awesome stuff and one day I will have to update to a more modern roster. I was checking out ebay prices from links in that article and it seems cheapest they go for its around $50.
