This week on RETRO CRUNCH, There’s a new Nostalgic 80s VR —game for the Oculus Rift and GEAR VR, also we have the scoop on the new IT trailer, then some APPLE news, and a whole lot more!
Hey guys, Welcome back to RETRO CRUNCH, the nostalgia show that is all about Current Pop Culture, Movies, Music, and Games that relates to all things 70s, 80s, and 90s!
To start off the show, It seems that VR is all the rage right now.
With Movies about VR, like Ready Player One that delve into 80s Music and Pop Culture AND a new VR experience called MIYUBI.
Looks like all of us Nostalgia lovers are going to enjoy VR, maybe more than we expected.
In Miyubi, a brand new Oculus and Gear VR Experience, we get a 40 minute long retro-futuristic 80s movie that tells the story of a Japanese toy robot that’s given to a boy on his birthday in 1982.
The story is told through the eyes of the robot, and details his observance of the families trials and tribulations through about a year.
You will be immersed in 80s toys, music and television, and also experience the Nostalgic 80s aesthetic through-out the home, and you’ll see and hear tons of Retro memories during the experience.
The creators took every opportunity to try and put something into the game that will make anyone that longs for the 80s feel like they just went back in time, and from what I’ve seen, its looks really immersive and has tons of detail!
The few things it may lack is that I didn’t find a lot of opportunity to interact physically with the environment and objects.
Also, I think the game will have a small demographic, as the kids and millennials may not find this type of experience as enjoyable as many of the Nostalgic generations of the 70s, 80s, and 90s will.
If you have VR though, you may want to go pick it up.
Then Up next in movie news. There’s a new Trailer for IT that damn near made me pee a little.
I was pretty suspect at first about this movie, only because I have really high hopes for it, but it does look like its going to be really good and I’m excited for opening day.
Ill link to the new trailer in the description down below for you guys.
Also, Atomic Blonde just hit theaters and this one looks like it may be a winner.
The film is Set in 1989, its about an undercover MI6 agent that is sent to Berlin during the cold war to investigate the murder of a fellow agent, and recover a missing list of double agents.
Aside from the trailer looking badass, this one has tons of 80s visuals and a nice 80s soundtrack to boot.
Anyway, the next thing I want to do is introduce is our RETRO FLASH segment!
Here’s where I’ll mention some of the noteworthy stories that didn’t quite make it into the show
but that I thought you guys still might wanna know about.
SO, with that. Here we go!
For those that didnt know, the IPOD is Dying out and the touch is the last IPOD model standing!
Apple quietly took down their IPOD nano and shuffle links from their website and all the “learn more” and “buy” links to URLS are no longer available.
You can still get them in retail stores until shipments stop or inventory runs out though.
Next, you gotta check out this great 80s video that was put out by Sesame Street.
If you love 80s songs, or the Sesame Street cast, this video will make you smile.
And for that lucky few that pre-ordered the Super NES Classic from WALMART online – well, got some bad news.
WALMART is cancelling all your orders.
Apparently, they screwed up and should not have allowed pre-orders, but somehow there was a mistake and the website was authorizing them.
And that’s where we end it for this episode of your weekly dose of RETRO NEWS.
So, Be sure to give this video a share and like if you enjoyed it, and as always, if your new to the channel, don’t forget to subscribe!
