I’ve been hearing about this game off and on, saw a video about the excellent Michael J. Fox soundalike, but now I’m totally sold — especially after watching the first movie again. Between references to Eric Stoltz’s short time in the role on Fringe to bona fide video outtakes in a new special by the filmmakers, I’ve had this movie on my brain a LOT lately. And seeing that they expect to make this 1) episodic, and 2) a monthly release for 2011 means I’m going to clear my calendar and have a much thinner wallet (well, credit card) come June.

Are you excite for this? Mad it’s not coming out for XBLA? Leave a comment and tell us what you think!

(Oh, did I mention the 25th Anniversary Blu-ray and DVD are out? Just in time for Christmas!)

Last week’s Maximum Letdown saw yours truly mercilessly tear apart a crap fighter, so this week’s Lost Classic sees me shift gears and praise an underrated fighter from the period. Silly name aside, Metamoqester showcases beautiful graphics and frenzied gameplay, not unlike something made by Capcom and SNK. You play as one of three warriors out to kill a series of monsters. The monsters are huge and tough, but thankfully you have an array of attacks to stop them. You can also team up with a friend to battle them. With only 5 levels, the game is short, but it’s still an awesome fighter. In a perfect world, we’d see a sequel, or at least a home version which lets you play as the monsters. As it is, if you come across the cabinet, you’d do well to plop a few quarters in.

It looks like ToyFare got another world premiere exclusive from Mattel to announce and show off the April 2010 MOTU Classics figure, Sy-Klone. This issue of ToyFare is not actually out until next week, but subscribers to the magazine have started to receive their copies. We are not permitted to post pictures of the figure until the issue is actually on sale at retailers, so I posted the blurb immediately next to Sy-Klone. Be sure you click on it to see the text in its full glory. Seriously. Its a great font. He looks very much like the original version with the large red ring on his back from the 200x incarnation of the character. No word if he will have his spinning gimmick included. Unlikely, but after Roboto’s moving gears, I’d believe anything. It looks pretty great. Far better than I expected. Be sure to leave a comment after the jump to let us know what you think of Sy-Klone.
