THQ has just grabbed a bunch of Mattel licences – it’s mostly rubbish like Barbie, Hot Wheels, and Fisher-Price stuff, and for the moment at least, it seems the company is only committing to these.
However, the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe license is included in the deal, which obviously means the most awesome game in the history of forever could actually happen – because anything with Skeletor in it would automatically be the most awesome game in the history of forever, of course.
“People of Eternia! I stand before the Great Eye of the galaxy,” Skeletor announced at a hypothetical press conference earlier this afternoon.
“Chosen by destiny and by the powers of Grayskull! This inevitable moment will transpire before your eyes, even as He-Man himself bears witness to it. Now. I, Skeletor, am Master of the Universe! YES! Yes… I feel it, the power… fills me. Yes, I feel the universe within me! I am… I am a part of the cosmos! The power flows… Flows through me! Of what consequence are you now? This planet, these people. They are NOTHING to me! The universe is power! Real, unstoppable POWER! And I am that force! I am that power! KNEEL BEFORE YOUR MASTER! Fool! you are no longer my EQUAL! I am more than man! MORE THAN LIFE! I… am… a… GOD! Now. You… will… KNEEEEEL! KNEEEEL!”
Seriously, a sort of third person action adventure type game would suit the brand rather well, although James and I argued about the presentation. I contend (correctly) that the game should be as campy and ridiculous as the original cartoon series, while James reckons (blasphemously) that the entire license should be rebooted in a gritty, contemporary style. We both agree, however, that furry hotpants are totally butch.
