Analogue is back with the Mega SG, promising to do for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive what it’s already done for the Super Nintendo. The Mega SG is powered by the same hardware that makes the Super NT possible, and will ask the same $190 price they did for their Super NT system. More or less, Analogue creates high quality, 1080P HD classic video game console clones without the $500 price tag of their original NES creation. Sega exited the console market after their final system, the Sega Dreamcast (which people are still using to this day via ROM…

Here at Nerdbot, we love video games! And when a tiny twelve inch Centipede arcade machine showed up on top of my Megazord glass case, I immediately fell in love. I recalled the Kickstarter that successfully allowed New Wave Toys to create high quality RepliCade machines, but when I saw the little beauty in person, I knew I needed more. So, I reached out to New Wave Toys and asked the man behind it all, Shilo Prychak, for an interview. And he said yes, which was especially exciting because we got to be the first interview published since the actual release of…

Over here at Nerdbot, one of the things we love more than anime or making jokes is media that combines the two together seamlessly. And that’s exactly what happens in Anime Crimes Division, a brilliant collaboration between RocketJump and Crunchyroll. Anime Crimes Division is a parody on the standard Cop Drama, but imposes hilarious anime related crimes within its world, which takes place in the hilariously titled New Otaku City. One half of the comedy duo within the show is actress Riley Rose Critchlow, whose timing, delivery, and acting is seamlessly perfect for a show stuffed with obscure anime references.…

The BBC and Netflix are sinking their fangs into “Dracula,” a major new series adaptation of the classic vampire tale from the team behind “Sherlock.” Variety was the first to report that Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat were working on a new take on the Bram Stoker story last year, and that Sue Vertue’s Hartswood Films was set to produce. U.K. pubcaster the BBC has now commissioned three 90-minute installments. Netflix will carry the show in most markets outside the U.K. “Dracula” marks another collaboration between Moffat and Gatiss after they combined efforts on episodes on Hartswood-produced “Sherlock.” Set in 1897, the series will revolve around the blood-drinking count from Transylvania…

This is a Nerdbot “Nerd Voices” contributor post from reader John Bilancini. is a stand-up comedian and humor writer from Brooklyn, NY. He can be found on Twitter, and his nostalgia podcast 1994 can be found @1994podcast and on iTunes. Today’s trip down memory lane involves the first of two Disney television movies that deeply scarred me as a child: Mr. Boogedy. In case you aren’t familiar with the movie, and I’m going to assume you aren’t because nobody I’ve ever talked to about it had the faintest idea what it is, it was part of the Disney television series Walt Disney’s…

We did it, ladies and gentlemen. Nerdbot officially #JoinedTheBuzz over the weekend. Earlier this week, we announced that Hasbro was sponsoring a Transformers Bumblebee kickoff event at Universal CityWalk. And while the film isn’t coming out until December 21st, 2018, that doesn’t mean that there still isn’t plenty to celebrate. I mean come on– it’s a Transformers movie! The energy was high at CityWalk and the Hasbro crew had lots of (free!) fun events planned for Universal patrons. From the 80s Dance Party with lots of people participating, to getting to see lots of amazing new Bumblebee toys and merchandise…

A Nightmare on Elm Street is one of the most enduring franchises in the history of horror and much of that, if not most of it, has to do with Freddy Krueger. The mysterious, dream invading slasher has been most famously played by Robert Englund over the years and the actor seems to think exploring Freddy’s origin story via a prequel is a good idea. It would certainly be something new within the franchise, relatively speaking. More recently, as reported by MovieWeb, Robert Englund has made this known many times before. He went onto speak about the idea in more detail during the recent…

Nerdbot would like to thank Waka Coffee for providing us with their delicious new instant coffee for us to review!   Being Editor-in-Chief of Nerdbot isn’t always easy. It’s all about writing and thinking and keeping up with pop culture and nerd…stuff. Oh hell, I’ll quit my kvetching. Because you know what, no one’s job is ever easy. We all get tired. And sometimes when we’re tired, we feel a little…unmotivated. And that’s the kind of morning I was having today. I thought long and hard about who in the world out there could help me get through my conundrum.…

The first Marvel drama has been canceled at Netflix.

This is a “Nerd Voices” contributing piece from Nerdbot reader Chris McAuley. You can find more from him on his comic book blog or on Facebook! I felt palpable fear. I was swallowed by a demonic looking door, its large painted clownface like something from my deepest nightmares.  The rollercoaster cart was swallowed whole as I descended at a ferocious speed into the darkness, all the while cackling laughter filled my ears.  Rush of Blood is a powerful VR experience which brings some of the most potent jump scares and atmospheric tension straight into your room. It’s true that VR…
