The 1986 Movie Critters is getting a TV series, and is the Game Boy Classic finally here? Find out in this episode of Retro Crunch coming up Right now!
Welcome back to RETRO CRUNCH, your nostalgia news show that is all about Current Pop Culture, Movies, Music, and Games that relates to all things 70s, 80s, and 90s!
Nope.. Your eyes are just fine, and this is NOT the Gremlins. That was a clip from the Movie Critters from 1986 which is a sci-fi horror comedy.
Its about some little alien monsters that come to earth to chow down on some human sandwitches. Unlike Gremlins, these guys start off ugly and just get uglier.
Critters are coming back to take another bite out of earth.
The campy cult horror franchise Critters, which spawned four films between 1986 and 1992, is set to return with new series adaptation on Verizon’s go90 streaming network.
If you enjoyed these movies as a kid or even now, head on over to collider.com and check out the story in full. Im still waiting for a Gremlins revival, but that’s just a pipe dream.
Anways, Ill link to that story down below for you guy.
And in some RETRO Toy and TV news.
If you’re a child of the 70s or 80s, or loved the toys from that generation, you might remember a small toyline Called the Micronauts.
It was a North American science fiction toyline manufactured and marketed by Mego from 1976 to 1980.
There was also a comic book for the toy as well, but neither really took off and the toy production rights has changed hands many times.
Well, Hasbro is finally planning to turn this old gem into a cartoon series, and its coming on the heels of an announcement of a Micronauts movie set to come out in 2020.
I never played with these toys growing up, but I do seem to remember them being strewn around play areas in the bins of toys kids didn’t like, so I think HASBRO has their work cut out for them.
And they are trying to cut in on the transformers market that’s pretty saturated with knockoffs.
Im curious to see what the story line will be about though and I do remember these toys a little bit from my childhood, so I may keep tabs on the shows progression.
Next up, in Retro Gaming news. Soooooo…
We havent got an announcement on a new Gameboy by Nintendo,
but it does look like a company called Hyperkin may be releasing a version of the game boy handheld called the Ultra game Boy before Nintendo will ever have time to bring one to market.
If they were even planning on it that is.
Some notable features for the Ultra Game Boy will include a built-in six-hour battery, a USB-C port for charging, as well as a pair of stereo speakers, and left and right audio-out connections.
You will also be able to plug in and play all your old gameboy games on it, which is sorta the purpose right?
If you like the retro console knockoffs that are on the market this new handheld will be right up your alley,
or if you like me, your gonna hold off and hope and dream nintendo makes a gameboy classic of their own.
And then since its almost super bowl time, id be remiss if I didn’t mention super bowl commercials.
Well, retro has its place in this years lineup with Cindy Crawford once again gracing the Pepsi ads for this years super bowl.
I hadent seen her old 90s super bowl commercials since the 90s and I still remembered them.. So, set your VCR’s guys! Super Bowl Sunday is February 4th!
