Ian Jones-Quartey won’t tell anyone if the current season of OK KO is its last or not, but even if the end is approaching, the man sure knows how to pull an attention-grabbing, crowd-pleasing stunt. Last year’s Crossover Nexus reunited every single character in Cartoon Network history into one 11-minute short, and this time the show came to SDCC with an even bigger surprise. Rad and Enid are lounging around the bodega, as usual, while KO yells at them that they have to be alert because “you never know when a legendary hero might show up.” And then SONIC THE (BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP)ING HEDGEHOG bounces through the door, I kid you not! And Tails is with him! We get this incredible episode August 4. Cartoon Network released trailers today for events happening in their other shows, although nothing this year is more interesting than what just happened THERE. First off, we DO get a look at this mysterious “Fungies” show pegged for 2020: They didn’t seem so creepy anymore after I saw

Steven Universe And OK KO Bundle Now On Nintendo Switch

If you missed the digital releases of Steven Universe: Save the Light and OK KO: Let’s Play Heroes, good news….Steven and KO are going physical. The pair of CN games has now become one, bundled together in a real-world boxed release. You’ll be able to get them both at a discounted price, and they’re also making their Switch debuts today. It’s easy to scoff at a licensed game, but this pair is worth a purchase — developer Grumpyface Studios did a good job. The story and humor are very much in the spirit of the cartoons they promote, with Rebecca Sugar personally providing input in Save the Light and Ian Jones-Quartey writing the script for Let’s Play Heroes. Cartoon Network has been slowly refining the work that comes out of its video game factory. At first they made cheesy Internet Flash games. Then they made mindless freemium phone games. Within the last year, they’ve finally upgraded to full-fledged multi-hour story-driven RPG experiences. Steven Universe and KO (of OK KO: Let’s

Cartoon Network has been slowly refining the work that comes out of its video game factory. At first they made cheesy Internet Flash games. Then they made mindless freemium phone games. Within the last year, they’ve finally upgraded to full-fledged multi-hour story-driven RPG experiences. Steven Universe and KO (of OK KO: Let’s Be Heroes) were the subject of two that just came out a few months ago. If you missed their digital releases, good news….Steven and KO are going physical. Steven Universe: Save the Light and OK K.O.! Let’s Play Heroes will soon be bundled together in a real-world boxed release. You’ll be able to get them both at a discounted price, and they’ll also be making their Switch debuts. It’s easy to scoff at a licensed game, but this pair is worth a purchase — developer Grumpyface Studios did a good job.

OK KO: Let’s Play Heroes! Now Available On Consoles And PC

If you don’t watch Cartoon Network’s OK KO: Let’s Be Heroes, you should. It’s a hysterical, storyboard-driven comedic calamity involving a wondrous world of superheroes and the one tiny strip mall that happens to be our viewpoint into it. KO, the shrimp the series revolves around, works at Gar’s Bodega where he helps out employees Radicles and Enid and sometimes has to battle robots sent by the evil Lord Boxman, who runs the business across the street. Now the show is playable….sort of. It’s in a different art style and it runs on a 2D plane, but it really hasn’t lost anything in the translation. The show’s formula molds itself into gameplay surprisingly faithfully: you’ll be running around Lakewood Plaza doing errands for your friends, and fighting Boxman’s robots in your spare time. The writing is on the same level as the show (meaning good). Critics seem to like it. OK KO: Let’s Play Heroes is available now for Playstation 4, XBox One and PC at a price of just
