Tim's Retro Gaming segment returns with Duck Tails for the NES Nintendo Gaming System. Classic. Golden. Scrooge McDuck has never been more violent. Play as the Duck one percent and smack some people with your cane.

Duck Tales was developed and published by Capcom and is based on the Disney animated TV series with one of the catchiest theme songs in all of cartoon-dom. It was first released in 1989 and then later ported to the Game Boy in 1990. Players travel around the world as Scrooge McDuck, collecting treasure and outwitting rival, Flintheart Glomgold, to become the world's richest duck.

Produced by the guys who made the Mega Man series, DuckTales would go on to sell over a million copies worldwide on each system, making it Capcom's best-selling title. The game was loved by players for the sensitive controls, unique/non-linear gameplay and colorful visuals, and is on many a best list for the NES.

E3 Coverage and Wrap Up + Death Stranding | Infinite Grenade Launcher Podcast | Level 209

We hope you enjoyed our coverage of the 2016 Electronic Entertainment Expo (also known as E3) on Facebook and Twitter! Catch up with last week’s E3 episode before reading below for our wrap up.

E3 Coverage and Wrap Up

The event wrapped this week in Los Angeles after a slew of big announcements – and just in case you missed anything, we have the cream(s) of the video game crop gathered here.

This year was all about progress: From big open-world games breathing fresh air into established franchises to VR everywhere, games, hardware and Star Wars.

Microsoft dropped not one but two new systems. First, the Xbox One Slim, a smaller faster, harder better, plus 4K Ultra HD video support. It’s available in August with prices starting at $299.

Second, the super secret Project Scorpio, aka Xbox Two or 2017 Xbox. The next-gen console, due next year, will also offer  4K support, VR capabilities, and thankfully backwards compatibility with older games. No release date or price.

There’s a really cool looking Spider-Man game to look forward to! Insomniac Games announced an in-development Spider-Man title slated to be exclusively for PlayStation 4.

Lots of VR to snack on. Bethesda announced they’re developing virtual reality HTC Vive experiences for both Fallout 4 AND Doom, and lucky E3 attendees saw demos of what the experience looks and sounds like – it seems like it’s progressing fast. Keep your eyes on VR.

And of course, Legend of Zelda changed all of our (well mostly Michael) lives. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild stood out in a sea of trailers. Coming to the Wii U and Nintendo NX next year.

Despite Microsoft announcing two new platforms, no word from Sony on the PS4 Neo but Sony did announce Resident Evil 7 for PlayStation VR, The Last Guardian, Death Stranding and Days Gone. These all look tasty.

Much more in the video and podcast below on exciting upcoming titles like the new God of War and Horizon: Zero Dawn.

Finally, gamers who favor Star Trek and/or Star Wars fans have a lot to look forward to – Star Wars Battlefront 2 is in progress, plus an original Star Wars title from Visceral Games due in 2018, plus we saw a killer X Wing battle for PlayStation VR title demo’ed. Star Trek is coming to VR as well in Star Trek: Bridge Crew.

For the full coverage, listen to the podcast:

 

About Death Stranding:

Death Stranding is an upcoming open world action video game being developed by Kojima Productions and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4. It is the first game by game director Hideo Kojima and his company following the 2015 disbandment of Kojima Productions as a subsidiary of Konami and subsequent reformation as an independent studio, and was officially announced at Sony’s E3 2016 conference. The game will be released sometime prior to 2019.

The game features actors Norman Reedus and Mads Mikkelsen, as well as director Guillermo del Toro, who are portrayed in-game via motion capture. The game’s title is a reference to the cetacean stranding phenomenon.

Tom Clancy’s The Division Review | Infinite Grenade Launcher | Level 203

Hosts Tim and Justin engage in video game battle together again – this time with new Xbox One Tom Clancy title (also available in PS4), The Division. Right off the bat, The Division offers a new gaming experience that includes queuing up in game to play and is very different from Destiny, with which it’s mostly being compared.

Check out the full, podcast review for more detail:

 

About the game:

Tom Clancy’s The Division is an online-only open world third-person shooter video game developed by Massive Entertainment and published by Ubisoft, with assistance from Red Storm Entertainment, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It was announced during Ubisoft’s E3 2013 press conference, and was released worldwide on 8 March 2016. The Division is set in a near future New York City in the aftermath of a smallpox pandemic; the player, who is an agent of the eponymous Strategic Homeland Division, commonly referred to as simply “The Division”, is tasked with helping the group rebuild its operations in Manhattan, investigate the nature of the outbreak, and combating criminal activity in its wake. The Division is structured with elements of role-playing games, as well as collaborative and player versus player online multiplayer.

The game received positive reviews, and was a commercial success, with Ubisoft stating that the game broke the company’s record for highest number of first-day sales. Furthermore, one week after the game’s release, Ubisoft stated that The Division was the company’s best-selling game, and the industry’s biggest first-week launch for a new game franchise, which generated an estimated amount of $330 million globally.

Game review:

Overall, the game can be enthralling, exhausting and entertaining. It balances its obsessive systems with action, and then provides quiet moments to recover, to let the tension build again.

We’re early in the development of this whole genre, so some of the negatives are to be expected. The game does have a few technical glitches (evidenced by the amazing sight of players having to queue to use the computers in a safe house, or our experience at the top of the game), but it’s trying something new and that’s a huge undertaking.

We’re most excited to see how this world will evolve once enough players have completed all the current missions and find themselves scavenger hunting in a anarchic wasteland. Even at this early stage though, The Division is an experience that’s worth having if you’re at all interested in mainstream action games, or role-playing adventures, or co-operative online play.

Tim and Justin continue to explore new levels equipped with humor and an insatiable thirst for the ultimate gaming experience. Stay tuned to Hollywood Redux for more Infinite Grenade Launcher Twitch sessions, reviews, podcasts, and more!
