TWK Reviews Episode 68: Otaku Time With NJPW Tōhkon Road 2

Hello, Hero Club, TDub here and welcome to my latest video, NJPW Tōhkon Road 2: The Next Generation which was developed by Yuke’s (WWE SmackDown/AEW Fight Forever) and published by Hudson (Bomberman/Mario Party) and yes, this is indeed quite the combination to release a game for the Nintendo 64. One of my favorite parts of playing these wrestling games from Japan is that it allows me to see the world of pro wrestling outside of the WWE bubble and I can not help but feel like that’s something every fan…

TWK Reviews Episode 67: EA Enters the Ring with WCW Mayhem

Hello, Hero Club, TDub here, and welcome to my review of Electronic Arts’ debut in the world of professional wrestling video games aka WCW Mayhem. Yes, we’re talking about THAT EA. The one that forced microtransactions into games. The one who many believe to be the most evil video game company in the world although I personally think that Activision-Blizzard have been doing one heck of a job catching up in that department. However, I digress, as not only is this EA’s initial WCW game but also the first without…

TWK Reviews Episode 66: WCW/nWo Revenge is THE Sequel

Hello, Hero Club, TDub here and welcome to my review of WCW/nWo Revenge which was released for the Nintendo 64 back in the year 1998. To say that WCW was en fuego during this time would be an understatement. In fact, both WWF and WCW were firing on all cylinders as far as fan support was concerned. WCW had nWo Hollywood, nWo Wolfpac, Diamond Dallas Page, Sting, Goldberg and a whole load of cruiserweights putting on classics whilst WWF were running wild with the Corporation, Steve Austin, the Ministry of…

TWK Reviews Episode 65: A Quick Look at Pokémon Stadium 2

Hello, Hero Club, TDub here and welcome to my review of Pokemon Stadium 2 which was released for the Nintendo 64 back in the year 2000 (insert Conan O’Brien reference here). During this time, Pokemania was running about as rampant as anything could possibly could. If you were alive during this time then you knew the term, “Pokemon” or as many called it, “Pokie-mon”. With the franchise at a fever pitch, there was not only the main handheld games, a super popular anime, and movies, but of course there had…

TWK Reviews Episode 64: The Ups and Downs of Super Mario 64

Hello, Hero Club, TDub here and welcome to my review of the game that changed everything as we knew it, Super Mario 64 which was released in 1996 as the debut game for the Nintendo 64. Prior to this entry, Mario games were seen as relatively simple affairs. You’d go from left to right, reach the end of the stage, and repeat until you finished the game. Sure, there would be a secondary path or two that would lead you to an alternate exit but that was about it. Here…

TWK Reviews Episode 63: The Simple Genius of Star Fox 64

Hello, Hero Club, TDub here and welcome to my review of the 1997 Nintendo 64 classic, Star Fox 64! I cannot tell you how many hours of my childhood were lost playing this one over and over and over again and it’s a shame that they just don’t make games like this anymore and by they I do specifically mean Nintendo. It really does feel like the Nintendo 64 was the era of perfecting a lot of what they were doing on the SNES between this, Zelda, and a game…
