Star Wars Bounty Hunter, the Episode II prequel – Secret Movie

05/04/201701/11/2021 Luigi Kawasaki

Secret Movie

Star Wars Bounty Hunter came out on the Playstation 2 and Gamecube to coincide with Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, the game was pretty fun and felt like a new version of Shadows of the Empire. You really took the role of a Bounty Hunter and it felt awesome. It sucks that we never got a sequel. But I’m not here to talk about the game but the story, as this game took place before Episode II and pretty much tells a somewhat important part of the mystery we see in the movie. Only in the game would you not only know how Jango Fett was hired but make sense of some of Count Dooku’s dialog.

It really is a shame that this story was done only in game form since as of now the CG that was “realistic” at the time is now really ugly. Nonetheless, watch the “Bounty Hunter” Star Wars movie here with all the cutscenes stitched together to make a somewhat logical story and solve some mysteries that Attack of the Clones left unresolved.

The Future of Nintendo’s Handheld Game Consoles & Portables post Switch

05/02/201701/12/2021 Luigi Kawasaki

Rampant Speculation

For a long time many people had talked about Nintendo making a a hybrid system that was both a portable and a home console. Nintendo always denied that the Nintendo NX would be this very thing, and yet when the Nintendo Switch was announced it was this very thing. Now I may have my issues with the Nintendo Switch but I love the concept and for my current life style a “fusion” console is definitely what works best for me. But is this the death of Nintendo’s portables?

Site

A few announcements on the site, first of all most new announcements will now be posted on the home page. If it’s something big it would still be posted here but any of the smaller updates like the current recurring posts such as TMNT Week or TokuThursdays etc. Edit: We took down the message board and moved over to discord for our community https://discord.gg/NH6bH3j

Second, the MisRave forums are open, in there you can continue the discussion of anything posted here on the site, but more specifically I want to see if it can become a community of smaller franchises. There are many shows/movies/bands/games/etc that have a few fans but there’s no website dedicated to them and hence no old school message boards for them. While none of those niche things might be able to keep a forum alive by themselves, it just might if we put them all together. If anyone wants to have their forum hosted here then just contact me sdp @ miscrave.com or post on the forums. I hope the forums can become a non-toxic community for a some franchises.

Kishin Dōji Zenki is an anime that deserves your attention

04/30/201701/12/2021 Luigi Kawasaki

Forgotten Franchise

As a kid I was able to watch a lot of anime that many people didn’t have the access to, one of those was Kishin Dōji Zenki. I used to love this show so I was really looking forward to checking it out again and so I did. For a relatively unknown franchise that doesn’t seem to get a lot of love, it really isn’t that difficult to find the episodes online. But this show seems to have been a big thing, spawning two different anime arcs albeit relatively short ones and shown in different countries, an OVA the manga of course and even a few Super Famicom games, so it was at least relatively popular to receive all of those mentioned. But how did it really fare upon a re-watch?

The basic premise of the show is that some super duper evil is using these seeds to conquer the world after being awaken. In order to get rid of this threat the descendant of the person who originally got rid of them Cherry or “” is now in charge of doing it. She does this thanks to the guardian that is a demon who is trapped in a child’s body so he won’t be able turn on her master. Only Cherry can break the seal and give the demon guardian his body back in which he is able to combat the evil forces threatening the world. It’s definitely a unique premise but you also need a plot

Ultraforce Cartoon is the best 90s superhero show you missed out on

04/29/201701/12/2021 Luigi Kawasaki

Looking back on..

Ah the 90s, the decade were everything had to be X-TREEEME and with comic books making a comeback in that decade, new heroes that were more extreme than the old ones had to be made. That led us to Ultraforce from Malibu comics. Now I never read them or even knew they existed. Seeing a bunch of 90’s heroes that weren’t from DC or Marvel but some indie comics is awesome and they had their own cartoon so of course I had to watch it.

Miitomo Life & History: Nintendo bring it back

04/28/201701/12/2021 Luigi Kawasaki

The problem with..

Nintendo shocked the world when they announced that they would begin developing mobile games on iOS and Android since they had been against it for many years. Many people claimed it was the end of Nintendo even though people always complained Nintendo’s games weren’t on mobile. Miitomo was Nintendo’s first game that they released for smartphones and tablets, this was not what most people expected since they wanted one of Nintendo’s better known franchises like Mario. But Mii’s are what captured the heart of the mainstream audience so was it really a bad idea to launch with it?

People were not happy at the announcement since they were not getting an actual game but some weird social app and we all have enough social apps on our mobile devices to add another one but still this was Nintendo’s first swing at it so many checked it out. What we got was something that most people played around with in the beginning but quickly uninstalled and only a select few stayed around with it. However as months passed more and more people dropped the app, including me. I actually lasted quite a bit but as much as I want to love it there are just some problems with Miitomo.
