My Flowey Impression (#208)

So yesterday/very early this morning I uploaded a voice impression of Flowey from Undertale who is basically the (kinda spoilers?) main antagonist of the game. Anyway, I just wanted to share it with you guys so you could possibly check it out if you have time. Also, don't think that I'm now only using the blog to advertise my YouTube channel; I know I haven't uploaded for nearly two weeks but I am planning another post in the next three or so days hopefully that will be a kind of sequel to my Captain America HYDRA post. Anyway, click here to see my Flowey impression. If you click here you can also see a Papyrus one I made.

Golly!

Wreck-It-Ralph 2 Officially Announced! (#207)

In some rather wonderful news yesterday, Disney's amazing Wreck-It-Ralph is finally getting an official sequel, coming out in 2018! The first Wreck-It-Ralph released in late 2012 (although I'm pretty sure it was February 2013 here in the UK, and I remember going to watch it with my friend) and was an animated movie about video games, basically. It's one of my all-time favourite animated movies and I remember wishing for a sequel as soon as I watched it, and now Wreck-It-Ralph 2 will officially be releasing in theatres on March 9th 2018. Hopefully the film will not be delayed by about three months here like with the original, but that may happen. It seems to happen a lot with animated movies, like how Finding Dory will be released by the end of July here whilst its already been out several weeks in the USA. Ralph 2 is supposedly going to explore more modern ideas such as online gaming whereas the original was set in a much more retro arcade environment, and could hopefully feature Mario in a major role. I would really like that. The film will be set six years after the first, which is pretty much the amount of time since numero uno released.

Sonic, Eggman and Bowser actually had cameos in the film. Nice.

You can actually read a review of Wreck-It-Ralph that I wrote right when the original came out. Click here.

25 Years of Sonic - Video (#206)

Continuing on with the Sonic 25th Anniversary posts I suppose; a couple days ago Sega released a short 1 and a half minute video chronicling a little journey through all of Sonic's major video game appearances since his debut in 1991. It's a cool little video and it shows that Sega has no problem with poking fun at itself, especially when the video gets to Sonic 06 and simply shows a 'now loading' screen. Oddly enough though, some games that I count as major instalments in the series weren't in the video, such as Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic and the Secret Rings and Sonic and the Black Knight weren't in the video, although to be fair they weren't considered as very good games by a majority of people. I think the weirdest part is that Sonic Lost World didn't appear, mainly since the music playing in the video is actually the main theme of that game, but whatever, it's an awesome little video nonetheless. The end also teases a game celebrating Sonic's 25th... I'm hoping that'll be announced next month :D

Check out the video here.

Sonic 25th Anniversary Announcement? (#205)

A while ago, at the Sonic 25th Anniversary Panel at SXSW, Sega didn't announce any new Sonic games, but instead informed the public that they are planning to release news regarding an important Sonic event during San Diego Comic Con, next month on July 22nd. Sega has also promised that Crush 40 will be performing there, who are the band behind pretty much all of the rock songs in Sonic games, which to be honest, I love. There will also apparently be some kind of 'special guests' there, as well as exclusive merchandise. Many fans are speculating that Sega could finally announce Sonic Adventure 3, which many Sonic fans have been longing for well over a decade now, or even some kind of HD remake of a classic Sonic game. If that happened, I would personally love Sonic 3 & Knuckles to be remade in the style of modern 3D Sonic games like Generations, Colours and Unleashed. But who knows? We'll see what Sega announces. Hopefully it will be satisfying.

E3 2016: New Zelda Trailer! (#204)

In case you didn't know, June is one of the best times of the year for gamers. The Electronic Entertainment Expo, also known as E3, has just started in the past week or so, and Nintendo's presentation has been running very recently. Although I haven't been catching up with Nintendo's announcements and stuff lately since I feel that they haven't been offering stuff that interests me so far this year, I was really excited today to hear that the upcoming main 3D Zelda game which will likely release next year for both Wii U and NX has finally been given a name, and a brand new trailer showing off some more gameplay. The game looks beautiful. The game's official name will be The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and you can watch the E3 trailer right here. God it looks so good.

Link is fired.

What Does The Scouter Say? (#203)

I'm almost certain I made a joke about this in a post in the past, and I was probably joking about the possibility, but... this blog hit over 9000 pageviews. 

No, but I'm not even joking. Look at the picture below.

*Insert overused internet meme here*

Like I said, I think I made a promise to share with you guys when I got that many views, and well, here we are. Geeeeeeeez! Nearly 10000 pageviews! This is actually crazy! Are half of these just me or something?

Planet Hulk in Thor 3? (#202)

If you didn't already know, it has been known to the public for a while now that the Hulk will be making an appearance in Thor: Ragnarok, which releases next year. More recently, there have been several rumours that Hulk's role in the film will be based on the Planet Hulk storyline, which was a plot in the Hulk's comic books a few years ago that ran for about a few months, maybe even up to a year. I own the story in hardback but I don't think I've ever read the whole thing, though I would definitely like to in the future. Anyway, since Thor 3 will reportedly take place primarily off Earth, it would make sense for the Hulk to show up somewhere in space after he flew off into that direction at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron. Although apparently in that film Nick Fury tells Black Widow that the helijet landed near Hela, so who knows? I think a solo Planet Hulk film would have been more awesome though.

Thor: Ragnarok releases November 3rd 2017 and as usual here in the UK we get it a week earlier, October 27th. Nice.
