Acclaim Returns! Let's See Their Lineup
🕑 Added 2025-09-10 20:49:11 +0000 UTCThe name Acclaim is... well, it's well-known. I wouldn't say it was always associated with good games, but they licensed a ton of stuff and in the 8-bit days, they published a zillion questionable licensed games. Then they did the deal to bring Midway's games home, became the publisher of record for NBA Jam and Mortal Kombat, and people kinda forgot about the company's roots.
Acclaim went under a long time ago, and most of its properties are long gone, too. But the name has been picked up by a new crew who are using the name for a brand-new publisher with a slate of indie games that all looked pretty decent. I wasn't initially going to watch this live, but the Twitch chat kinda talked me into it. Then I looked at YouTube chat and started building weird unrealistic scenarios in my head and... well, anyway, here's the Acclaim thing?
