Kelvin Yu, who adapted Gene Luen Yang’s graphic novel, American Born Chinese, for Disney+, said Yang’s characters belong with the other legends in the Disney pantheon. That includes Disney’s own princess and their Marvel slate.
“I went to Disneyland on Friday with my son,” Yang told Deadline’s Dominic Patton at Contenders TV. “It’s Captain America over here, Ariel over here, Moana. The Monkey King and Guanyin and these characters deserve a place on that shelf.”

Yang’s graphic novel was an adaptation of the classic Chinese story Journey to the West, which has also inspired many films, including a series by Stephen Chow. The Monkey King (Daniel Wu) is a mythical character, comparable to those American legends.

This isn’t much of a surprise, is it? The idea that it’s going to be live-action is kind of interesting given the content and the lengths that the filmmakers will have to go to in order to make this movie into something great, but with Sonic the Hedgehog already being out and the fact that it made a lot of people happy, especially after the rework, it’s entirely possible that a Mega Man movie could be something both intense and highly anticipated. Right now it doesn’t sound like there’s a lot of news to be had on the movie but

This article is presented by Super Mega Baseball 3.
Baseball is America’s Pastime, steeped in traditions that date as far back as the Civil War. But the on-field action at a big league ballgame isn’t always as colorful and full of personality as the players themselves, and a multitude of baseball video games released over the decades aimed to mirror the real thing.
And then there are games like Super Mega Baseball 3, the latest in the series from Metalhead Software.
Super Mega Baseball games play like a simulation of the sport, except with arcade-style visuals to spice things up and unique team names and ballparks for added flavor. The new game’s announcement trailer features good ol’ fashioned taunting the opponent, plenty of angry broken and tossed bats, and even a bean ball to the helmet that spins and topples a hapless hitter.

Capcom has been hitting one home run after another as of late with the likes of Devil May Cry 5, Monster Hunter World and Resident Evil 2‘s fantastic remake, but what’s next for a publisher that’s arguably already achieved peak performance? Well, more of the same certainly can’t hurt and that’s exactly what it intends to deliver going forward.
As per its most recent earnings call, the Japanese company, while not specifically mentioning any unreleased projects it currently has in the works, outlines plans to release “multiple major titles” between now and March 2021. It’s worth noting, of course, that delays and unforeseen circumstances can always result in setbacks, and it remains to be seen whether the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic will have any impact on those plans moving forward.
As for the identity of these mysterious titles? Well, there are a few possibilities, to say the least.

Capcom's latest Mega Man collection is its very best. Our review of Mega Man Zero Zx Legacy Collection is here!

After releasing multiple quality collections of the classic Mega Man and Mega Man X games, Capcom has turned its focus to yet another Mega Man subseries with the Mega Man Zero/Zx Legacy Collection. Despite the somewhat awkward title, this is the best collection of Mega Man titles yet.
The Zero and Zx games are among the lesser-known in the Blue Bomber’s vast catalog. The four Zero games appeared exclusively on the Game Boy Advance in the early 2000s. Mega Man Zx and Mega Man Zx Advent followed shortly after as Nintendo DS exclusives. If you're never played these installments before, you'll find their arrival on current-gen consoles to be quite the treat.

The early-mid 00’s were an interesting time for the Blue Bomber. The Og series was in stasis, and the X franchise was floundering with disappointing entries. While the home console market may have been struggling, handhelds were keeping Mega Man afloat. The Battle Network games brought the character to a completely different genre, while splashy remakes for the PlayStation Portable proved the classic formula still worked. Straddling the line between the old and the new, though, was the Zero spin-off series. Released between 2002 to 2007, these side entries took the platforming the entire franchise was known for and switched things up. Previously relegated only to Nintendo handhelds, now all can get acquainted with the titles with the Mega Man Zero/Zx Legacy Collection.
Cobbling together six different titles, the Legacy Collection is the definitive way to experience both the Mega Man Zero and Zx franchises. Developed by Inti Creates, these games...

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will keep you playing until the next Nintendo console shows up.
Release Date: December 7, 2018
Platform: Nintendo Switch
Developer: Bandai Namco Studios, Sora Ltd.
Publisher: Nintendo
Genre: Fighting
As a fan of fighting games, there’s always been this unsaid acceptance of the give and take of sequels. While the sequel is all about adding new stuff to the basic game we know, not everything can be brought over. Niche favorite characters have to be removed to make way for new characters. This could be due to time, money, space, or all of the above. But we get why, say, Street Fighter V is missing so many characters from Ultra Street Fighter IV. It’s expected.
Even when fighting games do have an “all hands on deck” mega-roster, most of the time it comes off as rather soulless like Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. Even Marvel vs. Capcom 2, which...

Castlevania executive producer is working on a Devil May Cry animated series!
Castlevania executive producer Adi Shankar is working on a new Devil May Cry animated series, according to IGN. While Shankar revealed very little about the series during an interview with the outlet, he did confirm that Devil May Cry will join Castlevania in his "bootleg multiverse."
Shankar didn't share what network or streaming service will be airing the show nor did he name any collaborators on the project. At the moment, all we know is that Shankar acquired the rights to adapt Devil May Cry "so the jabronis in Hollywood don’t fuck this one up, too."
The producer tweeted a picture regarding the announcement captioned, "Open for business."

Shankar has a pretty busy slate ahead in terms of video game adaptations.

While a disappointing bundle as a whole, it's impossible to hate the games included in this collection. Our review of Castlevania Requiem...
Release Date: October 26, 2018
Platform: PS4
Developer: Konami
Publisher: Konami
Genre: Platformer
On the one hand, Castlevania Requiem is an affordably priced collection of one of the greatest Castlevania games ever made and its rarely seen (in the U.S.) predecessor. But it’s also a lazy port of these games timed to release as an obvious cash-in with the second season of the excellent Netflix show.
Fans hoping for an epic celebration of these titles akin to the Mega Man and Metal Gear Solid legacy collections will be sorely disappointed with this bundle, which is nothing more than another way to re-sell these games. There's no digital artbook or making-of commentary, nothing to show that Konami realizes that Castlevania Requiem is the first Castlevania game product it's released in four years.

This "souped-up" version of The Legend of Zelda gives you all the game's best equipment.
Nintendo has released a "souped-up" version of The Legend of Zelda on the Switch's Online service.
This new version of The Legend of Zelda is quite unlike any version of the game we've seen before. We suppose that you could refer to it as Zelda's "easy mode" or a version of the game that has quite a few cheat codes enabled.
When you start this special version of The Legend of Zelda (which Nintendo has seemingly dubbed "Living the Life of Luxury") you'll immediately have access to a ton of rupees and special items. Specifically, you'll have immediate access to the White Sword, the Magical Shield, the Blue Ring, and the Power Bracelet. Anything you don't immediately have access to will be easy to buy given how many rupees you start...

Super Mario Bros. is a classic game that took the world by storm in the early 80s. For those who have been living under a rock, Super Mario Bros. is a deceptively simple platformer, where players try to steer the Italian plumber across obstacles such as Goombas and deadly plants. The objective? Rescue Mario’s sweet, sweet Princess Peach from the clutches of the evil King Koopa!
Now, you may have beaten Super Mario Bros. a few times before, but did you know that there’s a reboot of the game that makes it even more interesting? Enter Super Mario Crossover, a flash-based Super Mario Bros game that makes things more interesting by adding some playable characters from the zany world of Nintendo. Yep, that’s right- you can play as your favorite characters Link, Mega Man, Samus Aran, Simon Belmont, Bill Rizer, Sophia the 3rd, Luigi and Bass on a crossover platform,...
