A game on a lame duck system for a show that’s effectively been cancelled
[Update:Not game-related, but it looks like DC Nation is now beingpostponedto January for no reason whatsoever. What a crock of sh*t.]
I was digging the 2011 reboot ofThunderCats, and I was under the impression that other people were loving it too. So imagine my surprise when Cartoon Network decidednot to renewthe show for a second season. What is CN thinking? I mean, just this morning and without any warning, CN pulled the entire DC Nation lineup and won’t air any new episodesuntil November at the earliest. Where’s the logic?
Obviously, now is theperfecttime to release aThunderCatstie-in game for the Nintendo DS. Yes, I said “DS,” not “3DS.”The game isn’t even that good — Hamzapreviewedit in April, and I checked it out at Namco Bandai’s booth at E3. It’s a bland brawler with blurry, chunky sprites that are better suited for the Game Gear.
ThunderCatscomes out on October 30, and I guarantee it’ll crash and burn. Then Cartoon Network will see its performance as confirmation that the show deserved to be iced. Bah.
