That Sub-Zero isn't a villain, he's a hero. And that is the heroic Sub-Zero appearing in Injustice 2. I even checked out his bio on the game's website.

I love these older episodes!
"Vic With no Desk" is the name of my new band!😉
I forget how much this show has shaped my opinions about games/gaming and entertainment. Thank you for being so consistently great!

[DenisRyan]

Awesome!! Thanks for showing off the PAL version of the SNES Classic! That's the one I had growing up. I was hoping they'd do a version of it too. Hopefully I can get one in Vancouver, or get a friend to post me one from Ireland.

long time fan here from the g4 days. also neogaf brought me here 👍 keep up the great work!

[Tracks]

Keep it up! Looking forward for more videos from you, don't stop!

Thanks for the great content in today's run down!

I'll get excited for the mini SNES if I can actually get my hands on one.

[Neon-x-Wolf]

I can't wait not to be able to get one.

[JordanDC]

great rundown vic. I hope I get lucky with the Snes classic. I was already too late to pre-order and get the Switch, and Nes classic.

[robertt]

That robot kinda looks like wall-e and Eve had a kid

[herron]

Sub zero isn't a villain. Also he's the second character from fighter pick one. Star fire is the 3rd

[AnalogX]

I hope I'll be able to get my hands on a classic SNES. I couldnt get the NES one and I refused to pay scalper prices.

[spidey_]

I can't wait for the classic snes. They better make more then they did with the nes classic

[EBWReturns]

I can't wait until we get an N64 classic years from now.

[dcrediah]

Hey Vic, how do you feel about emulating games on Raspberry Pi? I don't know if I should go with this or get a little Pi in my life

[Mondoblasto]

Good lord, they were relying on *improv*? If true, those two clearly know nothing about Star Wars or how important it is to lock down canon for its universe. While amazing where appropriate (like Mark Hamill noting that "I can't see a thing in this helmet!" when he thought the camera wasn't running), you can't run a whole SW movie like that.

[EnigmaticPenguin]

Nintendo is already sold out of snarky Twitter jokes about SNES Classic availability.

[robonintendo]

Star Fox 2 wasn't cancelled in favor of another sequel, it was cancelled so there wouldn't be competition with the N64 console.

[portalplayer]

I want Virtual Console on Switch, not another mini console.

21 games? That all? I mean the games are pretty top notch, but they could fit 100 on there easily enough. If it's 40 bucks, maybe worth that price, but I have a feeling it'll be twice that. 21 SNES games? And look, a fighting game that deliberately holds back characters for DLC... I'm really sick and tired of that practice but people still shell out big bucks for ONE new character.
