Gaming Entertainment: Captain N: The Game Master Season One Review · 1:14am Aug 1st, 2019
A new area on my site called Gaming Entertainment is now live as its something I wanted to do for a while. At Gaming Entertainment we check out gaming in other forms of media from films and TV shows to comics. Whether it's animated in traditional 2D art and CGI or live action, each will get reviewed on how close they come to the source material. However, as we all know, most of these studios in the past have always gotten them wrong. At times the writer from any of these studios would just write their own narrative even if there was a clear plot. For over two decades from 1989 to the mid 2010s, many companies continued this poor trend. It didn't matter whether this was a cartoon or a live action show and movie, the outcome had the same results of being terrible. Aside a few exceptions, companies outside the industry couldn't produce a quality show based off a game to save their life.
For the review, Captain N sounds like a decent idea on paper when there were hardly any crossovers this massive in the 80s. There wasn't even a game from one platform to ever have such a concept. Remember kiddies this is way before Super Smash Bros was ever a thought and would be another decade until that became the newest crossover. The synopsis is about Video Land, a place connected to other worlds being attack by Mother Brain and her minions. The N-Team of Princess Lana of Video Land, Mega Man, Kid Icarus and Simon Belmont find themselves almost corned. That's when a prophecy told by the Power Glove in the Throne Room where Captain N will come to Video Land to save it from evil. An average American teen named Kevin Keene is the Game Master as the Power Glove drags him to Video Land. Now it's up to Kevin and the rest of the N-Team to stop Mother Brain from conquering Video Land. Will this be a blast from the past or something that Nintendo should've never let DIC produce?
