Day 1 on Switch. What a banger of an announcement

 

[Sethbacca]

This looks fun, but the trailer just makes me wonder why hasn't anyone ever made a game where you have models of the toys just beating up on each other in mock playsets ? Like straight out of our childhood imaginations?

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Finally a He-Man game! Day one for sure!

Hope we get a bigger 3d action adventure game eventually like Darsiders/Stellar Blade or better yet a full blown giant RPG like Witcher 3/4.

Love He-Man Revelation and Revolution plus the 1980s movie and started watching the original 1980s animated series bit by bit.

There was a kickstarter for something similar using knock off toys, but it failed to get funded.




Also, why not use actual kids to do the voices to begin with. It sounds so bad.

 

[El Muerto]

There's a He-man openbor game that is really well done. Definitely worth checking out. I have it loaded on my emulator handhelds.

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Daaaaaamn this one looks dope.
2D is such a good fit for 80's IPs. We're finally getting the games that couldn't be made back then.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

So glad they're pretending this shit doesn't exist. The game looks awesome.

 

[PeteBull]

Holy Fuck, 2d beatem up set in 80s he-man universe, thats manly af

 

[Katatonic]

Bitmap Bureau kicking ass.

 

[Stitch]

So glad they're pretending this shit doesn't exist. The game looks awesome.

Even Revolution pretended that it didn't exist

Oooh, I must have totally missed this, but yesss something like this, but not necessarily a fighter. But a beat em up would be pretty good with actual licensed toys.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Even Revolution pretended that it didn't exist

Was that any good? I completely tuned out after the first episode of Kevin Smith's bait & switch girlboss abomination.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Actually looks high quality. I'll pick it up at some point.

 

[KaiserBecks]

Love Bitmap Bureau! Battle Axe, Final Vendetta, Xeno Crisis.....they've become one of my favourite studios. The upcoming Terminator game already looks bonkers and now this? They're cooking.

 

[JCK75]

100% Golden Axe knockoff.. and I am 100% OK with that.. day one.

 

[Shadowstar39]

DAY1!!!

1980s childhood nostalgia overload. There has never been a He-man game before has there?

It uses the original He-man and Tela battle gear not that "H" symbol they added later. Awesome. Also no Kevin Smith bs feminism to ruin it.

This is going to be so fun! Hopefully there is some upgrade mechanics and its not just a golden axe clone. Not that I don't like GA, but I really liked the newer Double Dragon Gaiden and Streets of Rage 4. Maybe something like the dnd Shadow over Mystara could work too.

 

[Stitch]

I thought it was much more enjoyable. More He-man, less Andra, Teela is much nicer and stops looking like a butch lesbian,..

 

[dragonyeuw]

How ironic, I was talking to my friend a few days ago about old 80 cartoons, He-man came up and I mentioned how they needed to make Masters of the Universe and Thunder-cats beat em ups.

2D fans are eating good this year along with this announcement:

Ninja Gaiden Ragebound
Shinobi Art of Vengeance
Marvel Cosmic Invastion
Terminator 2D no fate

 

[Werewolf Jones]

100% Golden Axe knockoff.. and I am 100% OK with that.. day one.

Looks more like Capcom's D&D games to me unless you'd call them Golden Axe knock offs too.

 

[ssringo]

100% Golden Axe knockoff.. and I am 100% OK with that.. day one.

Bitmap Bureau-does what Sega-don't. Or something like that.

Also, it looks like Evil-Lyn is playable? Just a couple of quick shots in the trailer but it looks that way to me.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I'll keep my eye on this, I feel like a lot of these nostalgic IP 2D beat em ups are hit or miss.

 

[Neff]

I usually feel like these modern attempts at arcade beat 'em ups miss the mark but this looks radical

 

[Sephimoth]

Looks great. More of this...

 

[Skifi28]

They missed their chance to use this as the trailer's music:

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Looks good

 

[Saber]

Looks pretty interesting. I like that this is straight up from the original He-man. Gonna keep my eye for it.

 

[Signalis]

They missed their chance to use this as the trailer's music:

You motherfucker, beat me to it. Was about the post this video as well

 

[VGA-Games]

Awesome

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

Finaly, there is hope for this generation with this, the new Virtua Fighter and Silent Hill F!

 

[MrJangles]

Cool. Golden Axe 4.

 

[Duchess]

I have the power to pick up a flower
It'll take me an hour, or two.
The programme is starting, and Skeletor's farting,
And He-Man is stuck down the loo ...

 

[yurinka]

GOTY

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

The He-Man episode of "The Toys that Made Us" on Netflix was ridiculously entertaining. Highly recommended if you're a fan of kickass 80s action cartoons

 

[VeganElduderino]

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Hope this is a loading animation

 

[Punished Miku]

Looks about on par with Power Rangers and GI Joe. Fine for $10.

 

[KungFucius]

Co-oping this with my kids.

 

[ReyBrujo]

Oh, that Golden Axe amazon superpower.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Will be day one with several dips...but the controller those people are using in the trailer remind me of those tethered "all in one" console knock offs. I know they are not related to literally ANYTHING but they look awful and I hate them...end rant.

 

[ReBurn]

Looks about on par with Power Rangers and GI Joe. Fine for $10.

Best I can do is $39.99

 

[MrCunningham]

They missed their chance to use this as the trailer's music:

The funny thing about 'Hey Hey Hey!" is that it co-opted the original video that it was derived from, which is called Fabulous Secret Powers:

Spoiler: my fabulous secret powers

 

[Comfortgel]

Whoa that He-Man game looks rad!

Available soon on all major consoles and pc!
Kickass!

Coming soon from Limited Run!
Ahhhhhh fuck.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Yep, playing that!

Here's hoping next up~

 

[Renoir]

this beat-em up renaissance is majestic.
last couple years has done some real good for the genre.

 

[electricmastro]

Why did it take so long for there to be a new He-Man game

 

[AJUMP23]

I have the power button.

 

[AngelMuffin]

I really hope and pray this is better than that recent GI Joe game.

 

[Rival]

6 year old me is freaking out right now. I'll pick this up on switch.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Yep, playing that!

Here's hoping next up~

Also She-Ra with Hordark would be awesome too and then join forces with He-Man.
