Topic: Mortal Kombat 18 - The Bee Game (WHERE'S ALL THE CAAAAaaaaaake)

[Infernal Monkey]

Friends, countrymen, countrywomen, fiends, thongs, .sid.. tunes! Is it wrong to have interest in.. THE BEE GAME? The answer, is. This is the new Maya the Bee game, apparently based on some cartoon I guess they never showed over here. Most likely named THE BEE GAME to confuse parents when they set out to buy The Bee Movie: The Game. The GBA versions were developed by Shin'en. I have no idea who's behind this one, but the video gives the illusion that it's another fine 2D platformer. It almost reminds me of a *generic Amiga platformer* which is kinda good. I guess. I mean, it could have been a stinky 3D bogfest.



It's on DS and GBA, DS one seems to have some mini-gamesKIDDYINDUSTRYDESTROYINGWIISPORTSWHEREARETHEGAMESATMARIOBASKETBALL. Shock! I dunno, DS has been crying out for 2D platformers, and they're slowly rolling in! I might give this a crack if it ever gets released here (GBA ones never did~, but then again Midway didn't publish those) and if so, when it hits bargain bins.



Game of the year? Yep. I think it's due out next month in America, buy nine copies! Support cake fatalities! Isn't it awesome how I had to link to Amazon of all places for the video, this game is getting lots of attention on game sites! Tumbleweeds.

I actually played a fair bit of Maya the Bee on GBA. It was pretty good really. Perfectly playable platformer with some nice graphics and solid controls. Lack of a battery save was hilariously 1991 though

So this has nothing to do with the movie?

Depends on whether you're talking about the Maya the Bee movie:

Quote
Wolfram Junghans, a German photographer, directed a live-action full-length film version of [Maya the Bee] in 1924. It is considered to be the first full-length film to star live insects. The film was restored in 2005 by the Finnish Film Archive together with the Bundesarchiv-Filmarchiv, and screened in Hamburg and Helsinki.

holy shit Maya the Bee! they aired it on Nickelodeon when I was four, i used to watch it eating chickabiskits and then go with my mom to take my brother to swim practice.

also, a few weeks ago when i went to youtube to find the maya the bee intro, i found some weird German student helicopter bee thing. Now i have the german maya the bee song stuck in my head every few days.

Oh god, KDR.

Something more boring that 2001: A Space Odyssey!

[NWR_insanolord]

Hey, 2001's a great movie (though it's a better book), as long as you watch the part with Dave going through the monolith in fast-forward (that part's only 15 minutes long that way).
