Looks like Konami&rsquo;s yanked the plug on Frozen Codebase&rsquo;s Metalocalypse: Deathgame, a sidescrolling beat-&lsquo;em-up based on the Adult Swim show that was due to launch on XBLA and PSN sometime around the end of last year already. Which was probably a bit of a clue, actually. That&rsquo;s according to some guy over at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.siliconera.com\/2010\/07\/28\/its-game-over-for-metalocalypse-dethgame\/\" target=\"_blank\">Siliconera<\/a>, who says Adult Swim themselves pulled the licence for some reason.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This heads will bangs no more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Actually, though, looking at that screenshot makes me think it&rsquo;s maybes not such a bads things. It looks total dildos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So here&rsquo;s to two things happening instead:<\/p>\n<p>1.&nbsp;Adult Swim signs Frozen Codebase to an XBLA and PSN port of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mygaming.co.za\/news\/reviews\/5705-Robot-Unicorn-Attack.html\" target=\"_self\">Robot Unicorn Attack <\/a>instead.<\/p>\n<p>2.&nbsp;Someone else takes over the licence, and makes a Super Thunder Blade clone featuring a Hatredcopter. And better gameplay, because Super Thunder Blade was actually kinda dildos too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/7330-Metalocalypse-Dethgame-gets-canned?p=267494#post267494\" target=\"_self\">Discuss Metalocalypse: Dethgame<\/a> in the forums<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exit light, enter night, take my hand, we\u2019re off to never never-land&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6916","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6916","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6916"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6916\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6916"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
