The Week in Fandom - May 27th, 2016

Welcome to your Week in Fandom for January 20th, 2017. Yesterday we got not one, but two new red band trailers for Logan and check it out! I KNEW that was X-23! The extended version of the trailer adds a couple more F-bombs to really take advantage of that R-rating... and check the meta cameo of those X-Men comics - maybe some Deadpool influence showing? In any case, this is shaping up to be the Wolverine movie weve always wanted - so check it out when it finally pops its claws on March 3rd.Now, over the weekend, Nintendo finally and officially unveiled the new Nintendo Switch with a lengthy livestream and an exclusive press event with alllll the details on the upcoming console (fingers crossed!) to put Nintendo back on top. Fandoms full of coverage from the event and its safe to say the news is preeeeetty exciting.But how excited should we be? After all, weve seen Nintendo screw the pooch on a major console release before *cough* Wii U *cough*. Lets see: releasing new hardware that is graphically inferior to current-gen competitors? Check! (Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild runs at 900p!?) Speaking of? Lackluster launch titles? Check! Only 10 games have official release dates before spring and I couldnt pick most of them out of a lineup! Oh, and is there a new controller gimmick that developers, fans, and ultimately Nintendo will quickly abandon? 1-2, check! And finally limited availability Check.Now, Nintendo of America President and human Pokemon Reggie Fils-Aime chalks up the underperformance of the Wii U to a failure to commuuuuunicate its potential to fans along with a lack of compelling titles. He also vows to correct these issues and, uh Switch things up with the new console. For 300 bucks, Ill give Nintendo the benefit of the doubt ONE MORE TIME! For old times sake. But after that, No. Continues! And more game news: mysterious billionaire and President of Valve Corporation Gabe Newell broke his trademark silence for another AMA on Reddit this week. As usual, missing were ANY revelations regarding the long-awaited (and rumored CANCELED) Half-Life 3, although Newell did hint at a new game in the same universe, as well as citing Portal 2 as his favorite of Valves single player games. And when asked about the Half-Life and/or Portal movies being developed by JJ Abrams, Newell says theyre coming Even though JJ seemingly swore off sequels, adaptations and reboots last week in order to focus on original ideas. (psst, JJ - Bryan Cranston for Gordon Freeman!)Speaking of Heisenberg - check out his giant floating head from this new Power Rangers trailer. You might think its weird to have Walter White in a Power Rangers movie - until you realize he was voicing bad guys Twinman and Snizard on the show all the way back in 93. And now for a-NOTHER adaptation, a reboot AND a sequel all combined into one like so many Lions forming Voltron Legendary Defender Season 2. The awesome Netflix cartoon returns today and is already available to stream in its entirety. This season sees the Paladins reunite only to be chased across the galaxy by big bad Emperor ZarkonTheres also Split opening this weekend, in which actual psycho James McAvoy plays Kevin, a man with 23 distinct identities - some of which have some pretty serial killer-y tendencies. Im rooting for you, M. Night, and Split actually looks good! Hows THAT for a Shyamalan twist?Thats your Week in Fandom!
