Patrick Mahomes Lands Cover of ‘Madden 20’, Joey BadA$$ Featured In Reveal Trailer

Patrick Mahomes Lands Cover of Madden 20

Source: EA Sports / Madden 20

Ahead of last night’s 2019 NFL Draft, EA Sports revealed the next cover athlete for Madden 20 its none other than the Kansas City Chief’s rookie phenom QB Patrick Mahomes.

Mahomes who is coming off a record-setting first season will grace the cover of all editions of Madden 20 including Madden NFL Mobile. In addition to earning the distinct honor of being the face of this years edition of the famed video game franchise, Mahomes also contributed to the new personalized career campaign mode Face of the Franchise: QB1.

In the brand new mode players will now be able to create their own college quarterback in Madden 20 to play through the NCAA College Football National Championship playoff which will have 10 college teams as well as the NFL Combine, NFL Draft and ultimately being a starting QB on an NFL franchise. Both Face of the Franchise: QB1 and Franchise mode will use a new Scenario Engine that “generates unique playable scenarios, events and dynamic challenges that build the story of each fan’s distinct NFL career.”

Another new feature coming to Madden 20 is Superstar X-Factor which will bring NFL superstars to life on the virtual football field by giving gamers access to the players “unique abilities” that clearly separates them from other NFL players. Fans can expect the game to carry on the tradition of bringing the action they have come to expect every Sunday on the field to be in the Madden 20 with new player celebrations, run/pass option plays and of course unique playbooks. Speaking on the new mode, Executive Producer of Madden NFL 20 Seann Graddy added:

“The team this year wanted to ensure that the superstars of the NFL responded and played differently in all aspects in Madden, just as they do on the field every Sunday – we wanted to make sure the stars felt like stars.” 

Mahomes who is a life-long Madden fan called landing the cover a full circle moment for him and an honor.

“The last year has been life-changing for me and landing the cover of Madden NFL 20 is both a huge honor and a dream come true as a lifelong Madden fan. To also get the opportunity to impact the experience in the new Face of the Franchise: QB1 by providing input on the gameplay is something I never expected. I played Madden with my dad when I was a kid, and this is definitely a full circle moment for me.”

The announcement was also accompanied with a reveal trailer featuring narration by  Joey BadA$$ whom we can probably expect on the games original soundtrack called Urban Symphony, that highlights pop culture, hip-hop music, and urban lifestyle trends aimed to “deliver on the emotion, history, and meaning of football.”

Now of course Chiefs’ fans are probably worried about the dreaded Madden curse, but hey maybe Mahomes has the skills to put it to bed. Madden 20 arrives worldwide on August 2, 2019, for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Origin for PC. If you pre-order Madden NFL 20: Superstar Edition fans will receive Superstar Edition benefits, including 12 Gold Team Fantasy Packs, a choice of 1 out of 32 core elite players from a favorite NFL team, and much more.

So get yourself hyped for Madden season by watching the trailer for Madden 20 below.

Nintendo Game Boy Turns 30, Video Game Twitter Celebrates The Momentus Occassion

Leave a comment
Feel Old?: Twitter Celebrates The Nintendo Game Boy Turing 30

Source: Ralf-Finn Hestoft / Getty

Can you believe it? It’s really been 30 years since Nintendo first introduced to the world the portable wonder that is the Gameboy. Feel old right?  Since it’s momentous inception, the device has gone through numerous changes as technology improved and now today gamers are celebrating its birthday.

The Game Boy crawled, walked and ran so the Nintendo Switch could fly!

We all can remember the first time we powered up the clunky unit and watched the iconic Nintendo logo scroll down to the middle of the screen before booting up whatever game was loaded in. It was a marvel in its day and outlasted all of the competition who sported better innovations like the Sega Game Gear and Atari Lynx’s color screens thanks to its better library of games.

Video game Twitter took a stroll down memory lane to celebrate the Game Boy’s April 21st release back in 1989 sharing memories and thanking the company that gave us Mario and The Legend of Zelda. The portable console is a true testament to Nintendo’s innovation being that it’s still one of the most beloved pieces of technology due to the fact it changed gaming forever.

So join in on the nostalgia by checking the gallery below and tell us in the comment section what was your favorite Nintendo Game Boy games. I’ll get things started with Super Mario Land, Tetris, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, Pokémon, Metroid II: Return of Samus, Kirby’s Dream Land, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of The Footclan and Dr. Mario.

Kombat Kountdown: Shao Khans Golf Swing Is Deadly ‘Mortal Kombat 11’ Gameplay Trailer

Leave a comment
Mortal Kombat 11 Playable Characters

Source: WB Games / NetherRealm Studios

Mortal Kombat 11 is easily one of the most anticipated games of 2019. The folks at NetherRealm have been slowly building up the hype with character announcements and details on the upcoming closed beta.

*Update*

We already knew Shao Khan was going to be a playable character in Mortal Kombat 11 if you happened to pre-order the game. Today NetherRealm Studios gave us our first look at the former Emporer of Outworld, and he looks mightly impressive.

First making his appearance in Mortal Kombat II as the games challenging final boss, Khan is back in MK11 armed with his hammer issuing the most devastating fades ever.

His fatality might be top 3 as well, after knocking his opponent to his knees, Khan swings his hammer like a golf club sending his unfortunate victim’s head flying through their rear like a golf ball hit by Tiger Woods. It’s definitely something you have to see for yourself as soon as possible.

You can check Shao Khan’s gameplay reveal trailer below.

*Update*

Today’s (Apr.12) edition of Kombat Kast delivered Princess Kitana’s gameplay reveal trailer that was promised, and she wasn’t alone it also featured the Kytinn and Queen of the Hive D’Vorah.

While the trailer showcases Kitana in her human form delivering a proper fade to the devious bug queen, last time we saw her she died and was revived as an evil revenant of herself. She now rules the Netherealm alongside revenant Lui Kang, and together they destroy all realms. Her moves look better than ever as she makes quick work of D’Vorah using her classic deadly fans with a combination kicks she may have picked up from her lover Kang.

Her fatal blow vicious and her fatality is absolutely gruesome as she uses her fans to dice up D’Vorah and delivers the fatal blow by kicking the fan which doubles as a blade in the dismembered head of her opponent.

Also being added to the gallery is a new character to Mortal Kombat, the elder god Cetrion who was exclusively revealed by Game Informer as part of their MK11 coverage. So do yourself a favor and check out both trailers below.

*Update*

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and NetherRealm Studios released today (Apr 8) a new television spot for Mortal Kombat 11. The theme for the ad is that “each of us has a fighter within that pushes us to fight for what we believe in.” With the help of Create Advertising Group, director Joe Sill and Plastic Wax they were able to bring to life a world where ordinary everyday people can possess the strength and unique abilities of MK characters like Raiden and Sub-Zero.

The spot also served as a confirmation that Kitana will also be joining the roster of fighters following last weeks reveal of new character The Kollector. NetherRealm adds that Kitana will have her own gameplay reveal trailer coming soon, for now, you can get a glimpse of her in action in the new television spot in the gallery below.

*Update*

Today’s Kombat Kast introduced a new fighter joining the already impressive growing lineup of playable characters. The folks at NetherRealm introduced The Kollector, he is described as Shao Khan’s former four-armed enforcer who was born into poverty who rewarded himself by stealing riches from Outworld’s people.

When his former boss was killed, Outworld’s new Emporer Kotal Khan vowed to get rid of any remnants of Shao Khan’s previous regime capturing The Kollector who was in hiding living off the riches he stole. He now faces execution but is now fighting for his life in Mortal Kombat 11. You can see him in action and watch his impressive fatality in the trailer below.

*Update*

During PlayStation’s first #StateofPlay presentation today (Mar. 25), NetherRealm revealed classic MK characters Lui Kang, Kung Lao, and Jax Briggs will be coming back in Mortal Kombat 11 in its new Old Skool vs. New Skool trailer. With Ice Cube’s “Check Yo Self” and Vince Staple’s “Blue Suede” serving as the soundtrack with each song representing Mortal Kombat’s past and present the trailer was a perfect glimpse of what to expect in the new game. You can check it out in the gallery below.

To keep up with the #MK11 news, we decided to start a tracker that will help you stay in the loop every time a character is announced. Today during the Mortal Kombat 11 panel at C2E2 it was revealed that Mortal Kombat OG’s Noob Saibot and Shang Tsung are returning to take part in the high-stakes martial arts tournament.

While we didn’t get to see Shang Tsung soul devouring and shapeshifting in action, we are definitely sure his move looks better than ever. Tsung who was the host and final fight in the first Mortal Kombat tournament didn’t become playable to till MK II. The faithful servant to Shao Khan will be available as one of the six DLC characters available in the Kombat Pack when you purchase Mortal Kombat 11 Premium and Kollector’s Editions.

Noob Saibot (Ed Boon and John Tobias the creators of MK last names backward) who also made his first appearance in Mortal Kombat but wasn’t playable is back. The shadowy figure was once known as Bi-Han the original Sub-Zero and was a coldblooded assassin literally and figuratively till he met his demise at the hands of Scorpion. He was resurrected as a wraith stripped of all feelings and considers himself a perfect fighter.

In the trailer below, he utilizes a clone of himself at will to help administer bone-crushing damage and insane fatality where his clone grows inside his opponent.

Noob Saibot and Shang Tsung join the growing list of combatants that include Jade, Jacqui Briggs, Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade, Raiden, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Kabal, Baraka, Skarlet, Baraka, Geras, Kano, D’Vorah, Cassie Cage, Erron Black, Shao Kahn, and Kotal Kahn. If you missed any of their reveals, hit the gallery below to watch the characters revealed so far and keep it locked on Hip-Hop Wired for all things Mortal Kombat 11.

Sega's Genesis Mini Retro Console Will Come With 40 Games Preloaded

Source: GamesMaster Magazine / Getty

Sega announced last year back in April that it would be joining the retro console boom by launching the Mega Drive Mini (Genesis in North America). After dealing with delays due to quality issues and parting ways with AtGames, who was initially tapped to help make the console, the company announced the classic system will launch this year in September.

Sega made the announcement during its annual fan event in Tokyo Sega Fes 2019. When it launches, it will have 40 games pre-loaded into the system offering more than Nintendo’s NES and SNES Classic and Sony’s PlayStation retro console. While not blowing its whole load, it revealed 10 games fans of the iconic system could look forward to and they are:

  • Ecco The Dolphin
  • Gunstar Heroes
  • Comix Zone
  • Altered Beast
  • Dr.Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine
  • Sonic The Hedgehog
  • Space Harrier II
  • Toe Jam & Earl
  • Shining Force
  • Castlevania

The miniature version of the 16-bit console when it launches on September 19 will allow players to continue where they left off from in games, come with two wired classic three-button controller (six-button in Japan) and HDMI ports for HD gaming. As mentioned above, Sega ditched AtGames and will use its own M2 software to power the Genesis Mini. As far as price, Forbes reports a single-controller unit will cost $60 (6,980 yen), but if you want the two-controller console, it will cost an additional $20.

According to Sega’s official website, pre-order links will be coming soon and if gamers want to stay up to date on the console can sign up for the newsletter. This won’t be the only HD retro console that will give players a chance to play Genesis games, Analogue also announced it will be dropping a console named Mega Sg as well.

Nothing wrong with having options right?

‘Streets of Rage 4’ First Gameplay Trailer Arrives, Where’s Adam Hunter Though?

Leave a comment
Streets of Rage 4 Gameplay Trailer

Source: LizardCube/Guard Crush Games / Dotemu

Genesis fans were excited to learn last Summer that developers LizardCube, Guard Crush Games, Dotemu in association with Sega was bringing back with Streets of Rage with a direct sequel. Now, a new trailer has arrived to get retro gamers even more hyped.

In the new look at Streets of Rage 4, fans of the original beat-em-up video will be happy to know the button mashing action is back and looks better than ever. The 41-second clip features the games iconic characters Axel Stone and Blaze Fielding putting paws on the goons that plague their city and using their unique techniques that were first introduced in Streets of Rage 2.

Fans will also be happy to hear that some of the original sound effects will be returning, the score for the game is still up in the air and in the trailer does note “all music and sounds are a work in progress.” So there is still a glimmer of hope that games original composer Yuzo Koshiro will return.

There is still one big mystery, and that is the omission of Adam Hunter, the game’s  Black character. Like the titles pending release date or what systems it will live on there is no word on if he is in the game at all. His absence from the game’s first two trailers though is a downer.

Based on what he has been shown so far cooperative play is the focus, and we are definitely looking forward to teaming up with a friend to take out some goons. Check out the new trailer for Streets of Rage 4 below and let us know in the comment section below if you feel it’s a disservice that Adam is missing.
