My overall impression

So I’ve been playing video games ever since I can remember. I still play them, and quite frequently. That being said, I am the target demographic for this show. The fight choreography in this show is brutal in the best way. It is evident that a great deal of time was spent refining each character’s individual style of fighting and they pull it off quite well. Some standout moments is when Donkey Kong pummels the stage like a ground stomp and all the other characters in perfect sequence drop right to the floor. Scorpions chain also comes into “play”, which was pretty sweet. There are so many classic moments that are recreated that will titillate your nerdgasm to the extreme. The concept is brilliant, niche and perfect for a fringe show. They really use the space well too. If you like the idea of the concept and consider yourself a pretty big nerd… you will have a ton of fun watching this show. And again. That fight choreography is ridiculously good looking.
