My Thoughts Why "Tekken 8" Has No Arcade Release

Image
My gaming vibes are GOOD AS SUNK. So far, I only enjoy playing mostly old-school games while embracing new technology. I guess the generation gap really happens like I'm more interested in replaying Super Mario World than any of the newer Super Mario Bros. games. That's why I haven't had a Nintendo system and I'm outdated on it too. I Googled for " Tekken 8 Arcade " and found this out from Hardcore Gamer: There are changes with Tekken 8 that are worth noting and it starts at the core. For the first time, the game will not be released as an arcade cabinet prior to release. This game will be no arcade port, but rather built from the ground up on the Unreal 5 Engine for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC. This is showed off in the visuals as environmental lighting and textures look to be miles above any other game in the series, and overall potentially some of the best visuals period. The battle concept and the direction of battle are the other main driving force ...

Disney' New Progressive "Snow White" Leaks Are Just Plain Horrible

Image
Disney is nothing but a bad joke now. People can go ahead and think I'm just bashing the Beauty and the Beast (2017) movie because Emma Watson isn't hot enough for Belle. Okay, maybe I am but I've been watching some Korean dramas where the actress isn't even pretty (ex. Shin Hye Sun who's obviously a smart girl). I looked at what's leaked out and am I even surprised. There's always this feeling of "Oh I'm so easily offended!" going on! The latest Snow White isn't even snow white at all. It's Latina actress Rachel Zegler. I could start out that I had nothing against Halle Bailey as Ariel IF the Africanization was done right I did cite Happily Ever After: Stories for Every Child and how it remade a lot of stories into different settings. It had A Little Mermaid happen in Taiwan, The Emperor's New Clothes in Japan, and Beauty and the Beast in Africa. I think I'd probably have been interested to watch a black Ariel IF the whole stor...

Daimos' Main Villain, Generalissimo Olban's Contingency Planning

Image
I did notice there seem to be a lot of things copied over by Toei themselves. The late Tadao Nagahama's Robot Romance Trilogy went to a full-blown romance. Yes, it's a Romeo and Juliet though spoilers, Kazuya and Erika did make it through. I guess Kazuya was just too exhausted and the way he collapsed, didn't look like he died. I re-watched and the ending says that as long as both lived - both races came together. Now, it's time to examine another Super Robot villain we love to hate - Generalismo Olban. Olban was the main villain of Daimos . He's pretty much an Expy to Zu Zambojil of Voltes V and may have inspired Emperor Corsair in Dairugger XV.  Unlike Zambojil, we saw Olban giving Richter orders to conquer the Earth. As a villain, Richter only wants to save his people but Olban has other plans. Richter got into the fight because his father, the late Generalissimo Leon, was poisoned at a lunar base. There are some obvious clues early on to which would get rather o...

Daimos' Other Villain, General Sakimori Miwa

Image
There was the late Tadao Nagahama's Super Robot Romance Trilogy . The third and final installment was known as Tosho Daimos . Daimos' main villain was Generalismo Olban. The show explored a Romeo and Juliet type of love story between two races - Earthlings and Baam-Seijins. Both Kazuya and Erika would keep learning that not everyone from their race is purely good or purely evil. Like Combattler V and Voltes V before it - Daimos also had good members of the alien race. Daimos decided to add a bigoted character who hated all Baam-Sejins alike. That guy was actually General Sakimori Miwa who was dubbed over as General Harris. I'd like to bring up why this guy was probably one of the best villain plots ever conceived. In war, some people are plain opportunists. Miwa's supposedly on the side of good but in reality, he's probably best suited for Complete Monster. He was supposedly an ally of Daimobic. However, he was far from an ally like General Oka from Voltes V . Inst...
