A game where I can play as Kevin James? Sign me up.
While I wasn’t watching, 80’s nostalgia became a thing. The timing really sucks, too, because I had a pretty rad mullet back then, but there’s no amount of Rogaine that’s bringing that puppy back to life. This phenomenon’s latest offender is the upcoming movie Pixels, which stars Opera Man and Paul Blart as guys fighting classic video game icons like Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Centipede, etc. because of some stupid reason. The trailer looks like a mash up of Tron and every Roland Emmerich movie, which means it looks terrible.
That’s not going to stop the video game crossovers, though. Today Bandai Namco announced that they’re making a game based on a movie that’s based on video games, and will be the first game to have all these classic characters together. Before you get too excited (oh, you weren’t?), it’s going to be a tower defense game and nowhere in the press release is Donkey Kong mentioned. They mention Frogger, but not Donkey Kong? I might boycott the game sight unseen just because of that.
Pixels, the video game and not the movie, will be releasing in July right before the release of Pixels, the movie not the video game. Watch the trailer for said movie after the break.
