Over the weekend I was reading one of the new Hulk comics (shut up it's good), and in it I found an ad for Spyborgs.  It's so terrible that I knew I had to show off to the rest of you:


Is it just me or does this ad just scream NES/SNES era videogame advertising?  I had an immediate flashback to ads I saw in game magazines from around 1992 when I saw this.

I like that advert, shame the game is a steaming pile.

In other great news Capcom are bringing over the MT Framework to Wii. So let the portfest begin.

That is SO classic 90's EGM ad. I like.

If the game was pushing itself as sort of a retro-branded game it'd be a great idea.  Just like Mega Man 9's cover art.  But this is just one more piece of evidence that Capcom had no idea what they were doing when they made this game. They just slapped something together to put a new game on the Wii without thinking it through.
