90s Spider-Man Cartoon To Continue As Comic Book

1 week ago | animesuperhero.com | Peter Paltridge

There was an interesting shot included in the season finale of X-Men 97 last year: what appeared to be the Fox Kids version of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson watching that day’s developing news on a store window display TV. When asked if that was them, the showrunners confirmed “sure was.” The next question had to be, “Was that the version of them before the series finale or after it?”Because you see, Fox Kids’ Spider-Man series ended on a cliffhanger.

The lonely dragon is Tohru, who Kobayashi saves from a perilous situation one day.
A Full Dig Into Donkey Kong Bananza

1 week ago | popgeeks.com | Peter Paltridge

We reported earlier this week that Nintendo’s June Direct would be about just one game, and we wondered if that would be enough. Apparently so! Donkey Kong Bananza is one packed game, filled with features and content. We barely have enough room to discuss it all. First off, yes, the leaks were accurate — Donkey Kong’s sidekick in this game is not a talking rock, but a kid version of Pauline who was trapped inside that rock.
It Looks Like Donkey Kong Bananza Will Rock

1 week ago | animesuperhero.com | Peter Paltridge

A Nintendo Direct was broadcast early in the morning all about their second big Switch 2 title, Donkey Kong Bananza. They’re already shown a lot of this game in past presentations and I wondered what was left to reveal. Turns out, quite a bit!The one reveal everybody expected was “Odd Rock” actually being a kid Pauline trapped inside it. Official art of this was leaked months ago.
Uh-Oh, NIS Is Selling Its Switch 2 Games On Key Cards

1 week ago | popgeeks.com | Peter Paltridge

Nintendo currently offers its physical Switch 2 cards to game publishers in two sizes: Too Small and Too Large. Most modern games won’t fit in the Too Small size, and Too Large adds extra cost to the manufacturing process. We don’t know why Nintendo did this, but we don’t really know why Nintendo does anything. However, there’s a third option, something of Big N’s own invention: the Key Card.
Release Date Set For Gumball's Return On Hulu

1 week ago | animesuperhero.com | Peter Paltridge

I always loved The Amazing World Of Gumball and thought it was one of Cartoon Network’s best originals. In its day, it was frequently overshadowed by bigger hits like Adventure Time, Teen Titans Go and Steven Universe, but it kept chugging along in their shadow until it finally started getting noticed at the end of the decade.

1 week ago | popgeeks.com | Peter Paltridge

One of the more unexpected announcements to come out of the James Gunn / Peter Safran DC Cinematic Universe was the reveal that Batman villain Clayface would be one of the first to get a movie. We don’t mean a Batman movie with Clayface as its big bad. We mean a full movie about Clayface, focused on Clayface and no one else. Today the project took one step forward with the confirmation of its lead. Actor Tom Rhys Harries has been selected to fill Mr. Face’s gooey shoes.
Donkey Kong Bananza Gets Its Own Nintendo Direct Wednesday

1 week ago | popgeeks.com | Peter Paltridge

Nintendo tends to do things its own way. It’s become typical over the last few years for them to skip out Summer Game Fest and similar events, just so they can host their own solo Nintendo Direct later in the month. The difference is. though, the June Directs are usually one of the most packed, revealing Ninty’s entire release schedule for the rest of the year. Not this time.
Comedy Central's Digman Makes Surprise Return

1 week ago | animesuperhero.com | Peter Paltridge

According to the archives, back when Digman‘s first season was announced, I made the comment that shows that follow South Park don’t seem to live very long. What was I supposed to think? Just about every new cartoon CC has tried in that time slot only lasted one season, except for Drawn Together, but that was a while ago. Looks like adventurer Rip Digman has pulled off the impossible and broken that streak.
