A Reason to Buy a Wii Presents Itself

Super Sentai: Battle Ranger Cross. It's no secret I'm a Super Sentai fan, and Gokaiger has been one of my favorite series thus far (and is probably due for a mention on this blog at the halfway point), showing some of the most fun fight scenes in Sentai--and some great tributes. Recently, a video clip came out showcasing footage for the new Gokaiger video game, combining the Gokaiger, Goseiger, Shinkenger, Go-Onger, and Gorangers.



This gives me a reason to buy a Wii *and* learn Japanese (level 3 on the way), since it sounds like there's an actual story for this. Only complaint is that it's on a more low-end console. Can't wait for the WiiU to come out and then this trend of games without cool graphics can end. Still, the game looks fun and I think the Wii is region-free, so I may get one for the sole purpose of playing this game.

Sage Spoils The Plot: Kamen Rider Decade

Starting a new section today, entitled Sage Spoils The Plot. I pondered over this name for quite a while, but as I thought about it, I realized calling it commentary or blogging or whatever is just bullshit. What you're REALLY doing is spoiling the plot and adding your own brand of shitty humor. So, why not be honest? Plus, Sage Spoils The Plot has kind of a ring to it. For the first section we're doing the new Kamen Rider series of 2009, Kamen Rider Decade. Kamen Rider checks a lot of "totally fucking awesome" boxes for me. A lot of people might call it, "Japanese Power Rangers" (which is untrue from the start since that already exists) due to the suits and the fight scenes. I accept this. That said, its proof that anything done right can be cool--so when you get rid of the over-acting, toss in a good plot (exceptionally good plots actually), add in some well done characterization, and tone down the stupid-level of the fight scenes and make them look less l

The New 52, Corrected: Justice Legion A

What Happened: It’s another replacement book.  This time we’re getting rid of Legion Lost.  What I’d Change: Enjoy the adventures of the Justice League of the 853rd century.  Why: Put simply?  Legion Lost didn’t have enough legs to function as an ongoing series.  A group of the Legion’s best members go to the past to combat an alien virus...and then what.  They get stuck?  Meh.  The appeal of the Legion is they’re from the future.  This could have been a great MINI-series; something with a beginning, a middle, and an end.  As an ongoing I got bored, really fast.  So instead let’s replace them with a book about the Justice League of the far future. DC's got a terrible habit of making up awesome concepts and then leaving them by the wayside, this is one of DC’s greatest and its only been revisited like, twice.  (Once by Geoff Johns with Booster Gold 1,000,000 and once with Chris Roberson with some Superman/Batman comic.)   It helps lighten the hit that came with Flashpoint
