Fanboys Anonymous

Welcome back Fanboys to my final character review on the road to E3 2013, this week we ponfer the question who will be the new face from Pokemon making their Smash Brothers debut or even a return? Ever since Super Smash Bros. Melee, Pokemon has always had a solid four fighters representing the franchise. The usual veterans being Pikachu and Jigglypuff began in the first Smash game on the Nintendo 64, they returned in Melee and two new...

Hey Fanboys I am back after taking a while off due to a broken laptop and some other crap in the process. Anyways lets not talk bout me as I want to talk about my frustrations with the Call of Duty series. The title of this article may be a little bit misleading as I don't necessary think they need to quit making them, I just want them to quit making a new one every single year. As you read on I will voice my reasons behind my opinion and...

I have been a long-time fan of the X-Men. I grew up with the original animated television series, which featured perhaps one of the most iconic lineup of X-Men to date. Almost every member of that cast has gone on to do great and wonderful things. One member, however, seems to have fallen into obscurity as of late, especially after the loss of her mutant powers. Jubilation Lee (aka Jubilee) is a character that I've always found endearing...

Going into this game, I was prepared to hate it. Yes, I know this is a cheap callback to my previous review, but its true. When I first came up with the idea to do 90's Kid Presents, one of the first games on my list of games to review was Croc. It had been years since I played this game, and my memory of it was quite fuzzy. So just glancing at the game's packaging I thought "Pfft, a post-Mario 64 platformer for the PS1? This game...

There's always going to be a new James Bond film on the horizon. Hell, they even make it a point to tell you at the end of the credits that "James Bond will return". As soon as the latest entry in the 007 franchise has ended, speculation begins about the same few topics: Who will be the Bond girl? Who will be the villain? Who will sing the title theme? What will the name of the film be? Who is going to direct it? It normally takes a...

Welcome back to another week of speculation Fanboys, if you have been following my content on here you are well aware of what I'm doing by now. That of course is talking anything and everything Super Smash Bros. 4 and what could potentially be in the next game. This week I continue my streak of recent character review videos as I take a look a two very interesting Capcom characters. Our first subject for discussion is none other than Okami's...

Going into this game, I probably wasn't going to like it. To understand why, you have to understand what I had to go through to play this game. My Sega Dreamcast is very, very old (obviously since its at least over a decade old considering the console itself died in 2002). So trying to play games on it is not as easy as just turning it on and popping a disc in. A lot of time and effort has to be put in to get these games to work, usually...

Welcome back all Fanboys to yet another character review or analysis if you will from me about their likely hood of being included in the next Smash Brothers game and the over all potential they have as playable fighter on the roster. This week we focus on one of my favorite characters from gaming and the main protagonist of one of my favorite gaming franchises thats not Smash, which is Kingdom Heart's own Sora. As unlikely as it is for...

For my entire life, Star Trek was stupid to me. I had tried to watch it several times on television and found it incredibly boring and flat out dumb in comparison to Star Wars. Naturally, when they announced that they would be doing a reboot film, I was at first assuming it would look ridiculous and I would laugh at them. I was wrong. The first trailer I saw looked interesting and when I decided to go to the theatre to watch it and then...

Hey Hey Hey Fanboys!! Chris "The Dace Man" Dace back from the beyond and here with another installment in the Dace-Sphere. So if you're a nerd chances are you are one of the 80,000+ twitter followers of Bryan Singer especially with the much anticipated X-Men: Days of Future Past! Now Singer has been playing with the minds of fanboys across the world by tweeting pictures from the set like the one he just posted yesterday:   So...

With respect to artwork, writing, style, plot, and everything else that goes into comic book making, Uncanny X-Force has been one of my favorites in the new rush of Marvel NOW series. Writer Sam Humphries and artist Ron Garney are a dynamic duo, bringing together a group of mutants with a drawing team dynamic to fight a darker and grittier sort of evil. Uncanny X-Force #4 picks up right where the last issue left off. We get...

My name is 90's Kid, and I am a retro addict. I don't mind living in the past. We had better music than you have today, our TV wasn't all reality-based, and we had what I consider to be the Golden Age of video gaming. And that's what I'm here to talk about. My job is to uncover hidden gems of the good ol' days, remind you of some of your old favorites, and give props to a forgotten time in retro gaming (sorry, but the NES is SO 1980s)....

Welcome back all Fanboys as of now we stand legitimately one month away from E3 2013 as this time next month I will actually be covering the event itself. Today's topic on the other hand is a very interesting and rather debatable one as well. We are going to discuss the likely third party characters that could be added to the Smash Brothers roster. Namco Bandai are clearly going to get a representative of their own since they are helping...

The first details of the new CoroCoro magazine came out today and revealed four new Pokemon! This article is going to cover those new Pokemon. Their confirmed types, and names in Japanese. As well as images of the new Pokemon. I hope you enjoy! The Panda at the top is a Fighting type named Yancham. He is the naughty Pokemon. He is 0.6 meters tall and weighs 8 kg. It has a new move called Parting Remark which lowers the opponents stats...

The Uncanny Avengers series started out as a novel idea that has since blossomed into a story that is much bigger than itself. Bringing back the classic villain Kang the Conqueror, we are inevitably thrust into a tale of time travel that transcends the basic laws of time and space that we are so used to. As such, the last couple issues of the series have been somewhat confusing, jumping from past to present to future a little bit too...

Kotaku reports that the currency in Diablo 3 has been compromised with the introduction of a new patch. It has been suggested that the new patch has an exploit that allows the user to double their income by bidding on items in the auction house and cancelling their transaction which apparently doubles the users gold thus giving the user an unlimited source of income. Below is a video of a Diablo 3 user VinnieDaMac utilizing this exploit...

With the Marvel universe set to become more confusing with Thanos rising and more X-Men from the past and future set to appear, it's any wonder how most of us can stay focused on The Age of Ultron as it stands. But with Marvel promising a big reveal at the end, fans like myself are staying immersed in this story as the heroes of the Marvel universe (or what's left of them) try to find a solution to Ultron's destruction of the world as we...

With DC's stop and stall tactics regarding the Justice League movie, it would seem as though the project is a never-ending failure. Kevin Feige, producer of Marvel's financially successful Phase One universe, had this to say when asked for his opinion regarding DC's dilemma. In an interview with Collider he states: I don’t know. I’m sure they have smart people over there who have a plan and know what they’re doing. Man of Steel looks...

Spoiler alert for those who haven't seen Iron Man 3 yet. For those that have seen the movie, we now know that Tony Stark has not only blown up his reserve of armored suits but also removed the shrapnel from his heart, meaning there won't be an arc reactor on his chest anymore. After all, what would the purpose be? He doesn't need it to survive, nor does he need it for his suits if he's quit being Iron Man. So where does this leave us...

Welcome back all Fanboys we are getting so close to E3 2013, in fact we are our last full month before the event. Crazy to think the half a year mark is creeping up faster with every single passing year but regardless I am here to talk to you about two particular characters that would make for a great duo to play as in the upcoming Smash Brothers game. Naturally as the title to this article says I will be talking about Banjo and Kazooie. As...
