Sega is turning Golden Axe into an animated series


But should they?

Comedy Central has ordered 10 episodes of Golden Axe, an animated show based on the fantasy beat ’em up sidescroller games. If I remember my Sega Genesis days well, I think that means there’ll be fighting over who gets to ride the purple bird dinosaur and that, at some point, a gigantic hairy skull will float down and hotbox everyone. Rounding out the cast are Danny Pudi as a hapless dreamer named Hampton Squib who’s new to adventuring and Carl Tart as Chronos “Evil” Lait, the villain from Golden Axe III.
