Editorial/Rant: Can and Should Thundercats Be Saved?

Posted on June 8, 2012 at 11:55 am by Joe Moore under Site Updates

Thundercats is at a cross roads right now. The brand is barely holding on, the show may not return and the toys have seen sparse shelf space and extremely poor distribution. Non-toy merchandise has seen an extremely slow trickle, with very little in the way to excite fans and kids. So when I ask, “Should Thundercats Be Saved?”, I solely mean this particular iteration of the classic franchise and not the brand as a whole.

Now, don’t get me wrong here…Thundercats, as a brand, can be a very powerful name. Thundercats (as a brand) can and should be in the market. But only if handled correctly; With respect by all involved, a dedicated master toy license holder willing to keep the line fresh and in people’s minds.

I’m going to take a look at 5 reasons why this current iteration absolutely should be saved and should continue on. But I’m also going to list 5 reasons why it might be best to cut their losses and start over. Read on to see what I’ve come up with.

Thundercats DS Game Interview and Gameplay Video

Posted on April 18, 2012 at 9:00 am by Joe Moore under Thundercats Merchandise News

Game Trailers has a video interview with Austin Keys. He is a producer for Namco Bandai of America. In the video, we get confirmation that Lion-O is the only playable character. It also gives us our first look at the gameplay in motion.

We get to see Lion-O calling upon Tygra to clear out a screen filled with enemies. We also get to see how combat will work, which looks fairly basic. Run, jump, slash, rinse and repeat. Levels will be based on locations from the cartoon and both Slithe and Mumm-Ra have been confirmed as enemies in the game. No word on more recent show additions like Kaynar and Addicus. For now, you can check out the brief video below.

Nintendo DS Thundercats Video Game

Posted on April 17, 2012 at 11:50 am by Joe Moore under Thundercats Merchandise News

Talk about flying under the radar. I haven’t seen this talked about anywhere. Apparently, Namco Bandai are releasing a Thundercats Video Game for the Nintendo DS. The game is being developed by Aspect Digital, who previously worked on Naruto: Ninja Council.

Siliconera got a chance to play a demo of the game at the Global Gamer’s Day press conference, where the game wasn’t even announced, but just sitting on the demo floor unceremoniously. The game will be a side-scrolling brawler. In the game you play only as Lion-O, who can be assisted by the other Cats. The game is set to follow the cartoon story closely. It will feature sound effects and voices from the cartoon and will feature concept art as unlockable extras.

Thundercats for the Nintendo DS is scheduled for a release in August 2012. Click the headline of the story to check out some screen shots!
