When I was a kid, the release of Pokémon: The First Movie was truly an event.  While a new animated Pokémon film has been released nearly every year since then, the films have not gotten a wide theatrical release since the fourth movie, and the new films would either be released on home video or television. This year, that policy will change as The Pokémon Company plans to release the next Pokémon film in theatres for a limited time.

Take a look at the full trailer for the next major animated Pokémon film, Pokémon: I Choose You.

Pokémon: I Choose You is coming to theaters for a limited engagement on November 5th and 6th. Check with your local theaters for ticket availability.

Studio MDHR released the highly-anticipated independent title Cuphead late last week. The game is heavily inspired by a 1930s animation style and features Mega Man-esque gameplay with a steep learning curve.

The game’s music features a type of jazz style that perfectly matches the classic animation look of the game. To promote the game’s release, the guys over at Studio MDHR released these videos of the studio recordings of two songs from the game’s soundtrack. Enjoy.

Cuphead is out now for Xbox One and Windows 10.

Gaming History You Should Know – POLYBUS October 1, 2017

We are back with another Gaming History You Should Know, where we highlight and feature some of the best content on the web detailing the history of gaming.

A few years ago, information about a previously unknown arcade game from the 80s called POLYBUS surfaced.  It has since become an urban legend, as stories spread about the game’s possible side effects. Many claimed the game induced everything from seizures and depression to death.

However, despite the game’s infamy, nobody has been able to conclusively probe the game actually existed. To this day no one has been able to find a prototype cabinet or game ROM, although a few fan versions of the game have been published over the years.

Stewart Brown over at the YouTube Channel AHOY did a fantastic documentary about the history of this game and the impact it has had on gaming culture. In fact, it’s so well done, I believe it is on par with any documentary that’s been recently produced by a modern television network.  Is POLYBUS real?  Watch and find out.

So what are your thoughts on POLYBUS?  Post a comment below with what you think about it.
