RETRO REHASH #3: Digimon

Posted by CamArruda , Labels: , , , , , , , , , , , , Thursday, August 11, 2011 9:40 PM


I had opened up a small cabinet beneath the TV in my entertainment center, and inside were things that my brother and I haven't touched in years! Game manuals, toys, magazines, game boy games, and more! So, instead of throwing the majority of it all out, I decided to create RETRO REHASH: a series where each week, I take one of these items, and give a bit of a memorial as to what it was, my own experience with the item, and what the item's legacy has been over the years.

In this week's edition of Retro Rehash, a small trading card checklist reignites a passion that was part of the Japanese craze of the 90s: Digimon. Simply a Pokemon knockoff, or was it an epic animated series that increased your attention to tune in on Saturday mornings?

It's been awhile since we've had a Retro Rehash! So, I figured what better time to continue than this month (a new month). This week's item from under the TV: Nickelodeon Magazine! This particular issue comes from almost six years ago (October 2005), and we're going to rehash what was inside, what happened to Nick Magazine, and what I remember most about the countless issues.

RETRO REHASH: Kingdom Hearts II

Let me give a short, official introduction into just what exactly Retro Rehash is. The other day, I was tasked with cleaning all around my house. I had opened up a small cabinet beneath the TV in my entertainment center, and inside were things that my brother and I haven't touched in years! Game manuals, toys, magazines, game boy games, and more! So, instead of throwing the majority of it all out, I decided to create RETRO REHASH: a series where each week, I take one of these items, and give a bit of a memorial as to what it was, my own experience with the item, and what the item's legacy has been over the years.

For the inagural week of Retro Rehash (which will occur every Thursday), I chose an item that is very close to my heart: Kingdom Hearts II. The original Kingdom Hearts was the entire reason I got a PS2 in 2002, and it simply took my 10 year old brain by storm. Kingdom Hearts was a game that got me turned on to more adult-like video games, and hardcore games in general. Four years later, Kingdom Hearts II was released, and although I was much older and about to be a freshman in high school, I still approached the title as an excited fanboy.
