Here’s what Daredevil’s intro would look like as an old-school video game

At this point, many fans of Marvel’s Daredevil series on Netflix have already binged their way through all 13 episodes of the recently released second season, and are desperately craving another fix of the gritty superhero drama. Fortunately, the Internet has a way of providing when it comes to these kind of things … in its own, special way, of course.

For anyone who has ever wondered what the opening sequence from Daredevil would look like as an old-school video game, complete with a MIDI version of the musical theme, there’s a video for that.

The 85-second video, entitled Daredevil Netflix Pixel Intro (Demolidor), is the creation of Portuguese-language graphic design and animation team “doisDI,” with Luiz Carlos Teixeira credited with the art and animation for the project. Fans of classic, 16-bit video games will likely feel a bit of nostalgia while watching the video, as it channels the visual — and audio — vibe of console adventures from days gone by (but not too far gone by), when every superhero movie or television project had a tie-in game.

Composer Nick Bellardini created the MIDI version of the Daredevil theme, and his YouTube page contains an impressive archive of other MIDI-fied versions of television and movie themes.

Fans of Jessica Jones, the second Marvel series on Netflix, can also take solace in the fact that a post-credits teaser at the end of the video indicates that Jessica Jones is next on the list for the doisDI design and animation team.

Oh, and apparently Demolidor is the Portugese title for Daredevil, in case you were wondering about that, too.

All 13 episodes of the second season of Daredevil, starring Charlie Cox, Elden Henson, Deborah Ann Woll, and Jon Bernthal, are available to watch now on Netflix.

We predicted gaming’s 2024 last December. Here’s what we got right (and wrong)
Nintendo Switch.

It's my favorite time of the year at Digital Trends. Every time a year ends, I like play prognosticator and predict what's going to happen in video games the following year. I've run this series for the past few years and I often find that my guesses are spot-on come December. That's always a rewarding moment as I reflect on a long 12 months. On the flip side, sometimes I'm so embarrassingly wrong that I get a good laugh to end the year.

This year, it's the latter.

New Catly trailer shows what the controversial game actually looks like
A cat sits in a room full of corn in Catly.

After a controversial and confusing reveal at this year's Game Awards, developer SuperAunthenti Co. has released a new two-minute trailer for Catly. The clip gives a much better idea of what the game is, as does new updates to its Steam description.

Catly debuted during The Game Awards with a short teaser trailer filled with highly detailed cats. It seemed harmless enough, but the clip sparked concerns among viewers who suspected it was using generative AI. When Digital Trends asked if AI is being used in Catly, SuperAuthenti Co. told us that it was not sharing any more details until 2025. Later, internet sleuths discovered that the company's co-founder, Kevin Yeung, had started another studio two years ago that was working on a blockchain game with a similar description to Catly. Yesterday, SuperAuthenti Co. broke its silence and confirmed that Catly does not use AI nor blockchain tech.

The best intro to Warhammer video games is $50 this Cyber Monday
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 enemies.

Dozens of games based on Warhammer 40,000 and its tabletop RPG companion series have been released over the years, but none have resonated with the mainstream like Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. A sequel to an underrated cult classic from the early 2010s, Space Marine 2's savage action makes it one of 2024's best shooters. It's cool to be a Warhammer 40,000 fan now, so I recommend checking out Space Marine 2 now that it has been discounted on Amazon for Cyber Monday.

Like most modern AAA video games, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of Space Marine 2 typically cost $70. This Cyber Monday, you can pick up Space Marine 2 at a 29% discount that brings its price down to just $50. This is the cheapest that Space Marine 2 has been since it launched in early September and broke Warhammer video game concurrent player count records on Steam.
