Back To The Future Day Is Today; Here’s How Gamers And Game Companies Are Celebrating

This time it isn’t a lousy photoshopped screenshot. It’s finally October 21, 2015, the date Marty McFly travels to from 1989 to save his children in Back To The Future Part 2. You certainly won’t be lacking for any reminders of this online or on TV, and gamers and gaming companies had a little fun with it too.

YouTuber GTA Series made a really satisfying piece of machinima via Grand Theft Auto 5’s Rockstar Editor. It recreates the scene where Emmet Brown meets up with Marty to demonstrate his time traveling Delorean for the first time.

Nintendo officially made a Back To The Future reference in announcing Wild Gunman for the UK, but if you blinked (or never actually saw the movies), you may just have missed it.

"You mean you have to use your hands?" "That's like a baby's toy!" Wild Gunman comes to #WiiU tomorrow! #BTTF2015 https://t.co/2N9N8b2gww
