  • You'd think I'd have learned better than to do this again, but of course not! One year later, and the amount of shenanigans remains the same, if not worse. Today, AntDude spends over $100 AGAIN on some of the worst games you can find on the Nintendo Switch eShop.

    Out of morbid curiosity, I checked the 3DS eShop recently in late October. Nintendo itself doesn’t seem to have even touched the 3DS eShop and its UI since they stopped making games for it, yet shovelware is apparently still being pumped out for the 3DS on an almost hourly basis in the “New Games” section. I’d love to see AntDude somehow find a way to spend $100+ on the 3DS eShop in 2022.

    I can explain the Brutus thing.
    For a few decades, King's Features thought Bluto was an original character made for the Paramount films, and thus thought Paramount owns him. So, they created their own knockoff of Bluto called Brutus. Literally the same character but slightly different.
    By the 90s it was sorted out to where King's Features found out he debuted in the comics.
    But yeah, the original Nintendo game was made during this legal detour. So I guess Sabec didn't do basic research.

    Okay, so in terms of Popeye lore, the witch is most likely the Sea Hag, who Popeye faces off semi-regularly in the comics. The vulture is most likely supposed to be Benard, the Sea Hag's pet. As for the "Brutus or Bluno" thing, Bluno was the name of a very strong sailor who made a one-off appearance in one story arc. The cartoon needed someone for Popeye to face off against, so they created a similar character that they named Brutus. They are also brothers.

      The story I've heard about Bluto/Brutus was that there was a dispute over whether it was King Features or Paramount who owned the rights to Bluto, so King Features created Brutus as an expy for Bluto when it seemed like Paramount owned the rights. (it would later turn out that King Features were the true owners of Bluto all along, since he technically originated from the comics)

    The Popeye remake led to an amazing Giant Bombcast segment in which a young person expressed their bewilderment at the game while an older person who knows and loves the original discovered live just how bad it is. Remaking a great game like Popeye is understandable. Remaking it as a fully 3D game, though, makes no sense without overhauling the gameplay loop.

    I'm not sure about the vulture, but yes, there is a witch in the Popeye comic strip lore. And Bluto was renamed "Brutus" in the 1960s when Paramount Pictures (who owned the film rights and distributed/produced the theatrical shorts) barred King Features Syndicate from using the name in their animated TV series, believing they had created the character in their shorts. (They hadn't.)

    The Deer God is actually a pretty good game, the main themes are supposed to be karma and reincarnation. There's actually a morality mechanic but it's somewhat hidden in the menus, and there are elder deer you're supposed to talk to to learn stuff. It is still pretty basic, but it's not a bad game.
    It's also not an eshop exclusive, I remember playing it on Xbox a few years ago.

    I'm gonna have to be the defender of Wrestling Empire here. The game's jank and silly but MDickie games are a special breed of jank and silly in that they're some of the most genuinely entertaining games you can watch and play (if you don't take them seriously of course). Wrestling Empire's career mode goes endlessly, you can make all sorts of friends and enemies, go to different wrestling companies and do a whole lot of customization and have fun that the only other real wrestling game on the switch, WWE 2K18, can't possibly bring. (seriously, WWE 2K18 on the switch was for a good while THE WORST switch game.) Add to that the fact that MDickie is also teasing a major update that adds an open world aspect to the game, and that there was already a major update that added in a company management mode, as well as the fact that the game is also on PC and Mobile - AND is pretty cheap all things considered, it is absolutely one of the few games from this video that is worth checking out.

    The big guy Bluto was originally only meant to be in one storyline, however when Popeye got his series of animated shorts made for him I guess the creators liked him enough to make them the villain in the majority of their films. The Sea Hag and her pet Vulture despite being Popeye's most famous and reoccuring foes in the comic strip never made an animated appearence until those cheap made-for-tv cartoons during the 1960's.
    Off topic notes; That's also the show where they forgot that Bluto first appeared in the comics, they assumed he was created for the cartoons and that they wouldn't be allowed to use him, so their solution was just to create a new character with the same design, voice, and personality named Brutus. In the 90's they realized that they actaully owned the character and since then they've used Bluto, with a few exceptions, such as this game which makes little sense since the original came out when they were still pushing Brutus. They later explained that they were twin brothers.
