Co-host of CRITICAL!: The History of Wrestling Video Games. My favourite movies are Terminator 2 and The Dark Knight though I think The Batman is the best Batman movie. I listen to Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, BABYMETAL and a bunch of other stuff.

There's quite a lot of stuff coming out of Comic Con, whether it's figures, TV or comics. There's also the disastrous release of Basic Fun's WWE WrestleFest, which should serve as an example for anyone hoping for ports of games featuring licensed characters. t.co/XlkTvP5rRR 🤼

Put that alt mask on him and that’s an unlicensed Liger in a Japanese wrestling game.

They can’t keep getting away with it

Ligerbusa @ligerbusa.bsky.social · 7d

No new characters, instead of LOD you fight Demolition. The final match in Superstars is probably DiBiase and HTM or Bossman.

Ligerbusa @ligerbusa.bsky.social · 7d

No LOD and Slaughter in Wrestlefest, no Savage or Andre in Superstars. I hope this serves as a reminder to people who think old licensed wrestling games can be ported with a click. Also again shows the importance of emulation and game preservation.

Confusing people is what I do

WWF WrestleMania for the Nintendo Entertainment System is a very bad video game. Very bad. MARVEL Cosmic Invasion feels like it's going to be very good. Bust-A-Move rules! t.co/XlkTvP5rRR 🤼

Dude looks like The Ripper from Last Action Hero

Get on Buyee, just don’t buy anything I want.

If Tony was smart

Ligerbusa @ligerbusa.bsky.social · 16d

I seem to remember reading that now that you mention it

Ligerbusa @ligerbusa.bsky.social · 16d

I’m honestly never thought of that. I probably mashed as a kid but getting older and knowing of Fire Pro, I probably thought I had an opening.

Today, we look at Pro Wrestling on the NES, a game which would end up becoming very important to the history of the genre. Also, HAL Wrestling,a game developed by Human Entertainment. Mongo reviews the new Nightmare on Elm St. 4K set. linktr.ee/criticalwrestling 🤼

Congrats to PWI 500 #1

Saw this shirt on Buyee. I feel like we didn’t get a lot of Photoshopped Wolfpac Hogan.

Had they given her the Wolfpac theme, it would have been exactly the same.

Ligerbusa @ligerbusa.bsky.social · 24d

Yeah, I believe so

This is also a character in his games. The Wiki now just says Bathroom Bill is a male stripper.

We're back! Good thing nothing has happened for the past three weeks. Nothing at all.
Note: There were some issues with Discord during this episode that I kept in for nondramatic effect. t.co/XlkTvP5rRR

So far, the TRON Ares soundtrack is no where near as good as the Legacy soundtrack. Legacy had an orchestra behind it and everything felt so big in scale. This is boring in comparison.

I’d rather have Yautja stick its mandibles up my anus than watch WWE.
