Let’s face it, people buy Nintendo consoles for their first-party titles. Having a large library of characters to choose from and a very creative team of developers plus access to all of the hidden abilities of their consoles, it’s no surprise that Nintendo games often (though not always) turn out great. In the meantime, though, […]

Batman Forever Proves Digitized Graphics Aren’t Always Best – September 4th 1995 – Today in Video Game History
September 3rd, 2016 Carl Williams Batman Forever takes the idea of Mortal Kombat, mixes in brawler style gameplay, and a movie license. Acclaim was known for cashing in on big name properties. Sometimes the releases were okay, rarely good, but mostly bad. For fans of the movie Batman Forever, that own a Sega Genesis or Game Gear, you get this. […]

Sega Genesis Receives First Batman Game – Today in Retro Gaming – July 19th, 1990
July 18th, 2016 Carl Williams Batman has always been a hot commodity in gaming. The majority of games based on the caped crusader are good. This is a contradiction to licensed games in general though as most are horrible, particularly those based on movies. The Sega Genesis version doesn’t follow the movie 100% to a “T” but there is a […]

Batman Return of the Joker is no Laughing Matter on NES – December 20th, 1991 – Today in Video Game History
December 20th, 2015 Carl Williams Besides the slight identity crisis that we saw with Batman Return of the Joker, it was also not all that well received by the fans. This was the first Batman game for Sunsoft since their debut with the license on the NES, Batman (which was quite a success on both Genesis and NES). The cards […]

November 9th, 2015 Carl Williams The world of Streets of Rage 2 is quite a rough one to deal with. While Axel, Blaze and the rest of the gang are quite capable at taking on this world, even they need a helping hand from time to time.

Revenge of the License: Batman: Revenge of the Joker
August 30th, 2015 Michael Crisman What happens when one title contains the word ‘revenge’ twice? Nothing: it’s either an editorial mistake, in which case I’ll fix it a year later when all seventeen of our readers have properly derided me as an idiot, or I’m talking about a video game with ‘revenge’ in the title. This week thankfully it’s the […]
