Hey, Pipedream Interactive! I was a part of that team. Many of us were laid off when Majesco was about to go public and had to get their finances in order. It was a fun place to work. I don’t know anything about The Boy and His Blob project mentioned. Sorry.
It's insane how powerful the GBA was, having fully 3D games like racing ones, fighting games, even RTS games. Also having extra hardware inside the cartridges (like gyroscopes) is so cool. Feels like the golden age of creativity in games is over.
@@MogusMasterSaikawa22 yeah, but the switch has like 2 games for people like me who enjoy shooters and hack and slash games. Smash ultimate was a waste of money tho, I legit only play that with friends
@@MemeLordCthulhu here’s a though don’t enjoy Nintendo games don’t buy them why do gamers buy every system on the market how do you even have time for it
The reason Mega Man Mania never released was because Capcom supposedly lost the original source code to the Game Boy games, meaning they had to be remade from scratch.
Just FYI, I know ya'll made a vid bout ppl not seeing this in their feed. I've actually seen this recommended on my Home page several times despite me not having watched anything from this channel in a while.
The GBA actually kinda WASN'T impressive, which makes a lot of those games even more interesting. It was roughly comparable to a Super Nintendo, if not slightly below it because of a lower resolution (although that could be a benefit for performance, too); what changed was that the technology and expertise being used to make the games were ten years ahead, so developers could make better use of stuff like Mode 7, voxels, and mapping 3D models to sprites.
@@frozenpancakes SNES was a 16bit system while the GBA was a full fledged 32 bit one. The underlying hardware is different as 6502 family wasn't used (and I don't think WDC makes a 32-but CPU), but instead the GBA runs on an ARM professor (in addition to having the Z80 based CPU for backwards compatibility). If I recall correctly, the SNES had a PPU (think GPU), while the GBA didn't. While that did reduce the cost of the GBA, it put extra strain on the CPU. Long story short, it is technically more powerful than the SNES, but I'd be lying if it wasn't commonly thought of as portable one (and for the longest time I thought the same as well).
To be fair about the "too ambitious," thing, it's fairly reasonable for a studio to be hesitant when a game has such lofty ideas, especially for a handheld. Most studios would rather publish or approve games that have fairly achievable expectations, that are almost guaranteed to release in at least a state fairly similar to originally planned, insead of approving a game that could possibly crumble thanks to wanting too much, or come out haphazard as key features had to be cut due to expense/limitations, leading to the rest of the game suffering.
@@BillyBob-xx5jr yeah, you're completely right, and the fact that the videogame industry is just an industry is the saddest part, It's a very personal opinion, but that's why I appreciate indie games more than triple A games, you can notice when a game has a heart and a soul, there's a great difference, with this I mean that a lot of games, Call Of Duty for example, are just like an ultra processed product guaranteed to sell millions with the same formula, and the little guys who take risks and want to make the game of their dreams, just can't compare to them in the market, it's just sad, but yeah, it's the way this works

@@ElijahW2003 He was a demeaning douche to his then girlfriend, Bobdunga And what's worse. He raped her, having sex with a drunk person really shows how much he cares about basic decency. Like, what well adjusted person does that y'know?
I never realized the GBA was capable of actual 3D graphics. Though I'm really not feeling most of the ones shown here, I think a bright and colorful style and tone would have meshed better with the primitive 3D rather than almost everything going for a gritty realistic look. Imagine a 3D Mario game on GBA. There was a Mario Kart tech demo that came way after Super Circuit (it used artwork from Double Dash) and seemed to employ a more complex 3D engine. Sadly the person who owns the prototype doesn't want to dump it :(
"a bright and colorful style and tone would have meshed better with the primitive 3D rather than almost everything going for a gritty realistic look." Yeah, some of these games look amazing for the GBA, but they become really difficult to follow when everything is grey or brown. It feels like people didn't think it through until they could see a demo of it, which is probably when they realised it wouldn't work and it would have been too late to change the whole idea. You can see some of the racing games look decent with something like a red and white car on a black road with green landscapes, for example. The 3D titles and mode seven style segments definitely need obvious colour contrasts so you can see what's going on with the available graphics quality.
@@fenixdg Exactly, I think they'd have benefited more by splicing the video in two halves so it's easier to digest for people. Hour long videos usually look like compilations

The GBA demo for Shantae was considered as a bonus for the latest port of the GBC game on Switch, but it was not available. Hopefully it will emerge someday !
Are we just gonna pretend they didn’t release a video complaining about how this video didn’t get enough views and then deleted it because they realized some people don’t wanna watch a hour long video on Mother’s Day.
Yea I might even unsubscribe because of it, like I’m not gonna validate their whining. So you think the algorithm is doing you dirty? Then do something about it, it takes hard work bruh.
One thing that should be mentioned is that the gba aging cartridge (a testing program used internally) contains a logo for “Donkey Kong Advance”. As far as I know, this has been the only reference to this game.
Well the fact that Nintendo Power was able to have a review for it means it was being released soon and that means the game was extremely close to if not complete so maybe someday the rom will be found somewhere and we'd be able to play it
I asked Dwayne McDuffie (co-creator of Static) about it back in the day. He said that it was due to Midway's bankruptcy but they were still hopeful in 2005 that it would come out. He was bummed out about all of it since he worked on the story for the game.
@@holladiewaldfee6071 No. I doubt he would've known what those were. He was just proud of the game and hopeful for it's release. They were talking with another company circa September 2005, but I guess it fell through.
@@georgemorrow Sad to know. I could only imagine how you feel when you put your heart and work in a game and then it will be never released.

Multiple times through this video I thought he was talking about a game on screen while it ended up just being filler for something that didn't have available video/artwork. Even the typical VHS info filter overlay on the irrelevant gameplay would make it easier to distinguish that it's just filler content :) Still an amazing job! As an editor myself I know how much work this feature length video took! Keep up the amazing work!

With all the Mega Man Collections we’ve been getting this would be THE time to finally give us Mega Man Mania which could now be called Mega Man Handheld Collection. They could even add in Mega Man Xtreme 1 & 2
“Is this footage from the project they’re talking about or an entirely different game?” I repeat this question about every ten seconds on these canceled game videos.
TBF the movies weren't a thing yet, so it was just a series of popular kid novels rather than the juggernaut IP it is today. Also it would have meant Harry Potter in Smash Bros
@@nonnoumby That still wouldn’t have happened since Smash only uses characters who originated from video games. That’s the one hard rule they’ve had to this day
Dark Knight by NAPS team eventually became the upcoming Indie project Baldo, which is itself a Zelda-like game with an art style inspired by Studio Ghibli and Anime. I am so looking forward to playing it when it releases.
20:36 bro animaniacs was my favorite cartoon series and the fact that it still got video game tie ins all the way until the gba and gamecube Era says alot about how many people love the series and still care about it
I actually enjoyed the longer videos I like to put the stuff on my stereo from my phone and listen to you talk about gaming stuff while cleaning my house thank you very much lol
I haven't watched this channel in awhile, & I forgot how much I liked hearing about game development & whatnot. It's so interesting how games come to be & what the devs experienced.
Many were started too, people were excited about new tech but much of the industry hadnt grown nor advanced enough quite yet. Kinda like how the GBA having an ARM chip but no backlit screen. So many ahead-of-their time things from that area in gaming and general tech. Now the industry is huge, my 8 year old son wants a GBA lol
i'm so happy that the Shantae GBA game is gonna see the light of day honestly, i never watched this video until now, and i'm glad that my first time watching this is after the announcement
Knowing some of the crappy games that actually end up going through with production, it’s sad to see some of these promising titles canceled, especially when they’re mostly finished.
Uh is it possible that the video they made saying their subscribers weren't served this GBA video actually led a lot of those subs to realize this video existed so they came and watched it? I mean that was the entire point of them posting that video. Makes sense doesn't it

It's always nice to see more of my favorite system being unfolded
I appreciate the effort being made to not repeat trivia and acknowledging it. Nice work
I miss the GBA years, sad to see there was much more potential out there
I did see this video pop up Saturday but i just had a particularly busy weekend
Where's that new vid at? The one that says 'YouTuBe isN't sHoWinG yOu oUr Vids'
Think they finally realised that they done fucked up 😆
@@LadyNeeka common sense kicked in
@@Omabatfartsbruh Took them long enough! 😂
It did show the vid
Most comments on that vid said they just didn’t watch it
Cancelled GBA game: *has good graphics*
GBA: "We don't do that here."
Huh. I just logged on and caught this within a few minutes of it being uploaded. That almost never happens...
Thank you so much for these hour long content videos. So nice to listen while I roll up and smoke 💯💯💯
Shantae advance: Risky Revolution is no longer cancelled. It's getting completed and published this year by Limited Run. I'm pretty excited honestly.
23:29 “I think your chickens like me better than you”
the frame of the hyrulean king got me
14:34 Mah boi.
“For the GBA.”
That’s what he says at that time stamp
@@JoshuaJacobs83 they're mourning the fact after this timestamp, the cancelled secrets of mana remake
@@HeinerGunnar Ahh ok. I wasn’t sure what was going on. Thanks
Focus on the talking hat and you’ll see what he means...
I'm glad someone else noticed that.
i love 3D games on primarily 2D consoles. they're always really neat to see
Fine, I am watching it now, happy?
Guinness world record for most segues in a single UA-cam video.
I really appreciate you all putting proper subtitles in the videos
From what I remember, the Mega Man Mania game never got finished because all the source code got lost
With all the Mega Man Collections we’ve been getting this would be THE time to finally give us Mega Man Mania which could now be called Mega Man Handheld Collection. They could even add in Mega Man Xtreme 1 & 2
ok, I'm here. I'm watching. It's not Mother's Day and I have time
“Is this footage from the project they’re talking about or an entirely different game?” I repeat this question about every ten seconds on these canceled game videos.
Never expected Oggy and the cockroaches to be mentioned here
i saw that in Wikipedia
sHaMe oN yOu gUyS
Shame...
Dude, Nintendo’s audacity to be like, “Yes please give us exclusive rights to Harry Potter.”
TBF the movies weren't a thing yet, so it was just a series of popular kid novels rather than the juggernaut IP it is today.
Also it would have meant Harry Potter in Smash Bros
@@nonnoumby Dude I didn’t even think about Harry in Smash.
@@nonnoumby That still wouldn’t have happened since Smash only uses characters who originated from video games. That’s the one hard rule they’ve had to this day
@@thedapperdolphin1590 Sakurais rules are about as solid as melted butter
Has "Nintendo we want you to develop exclusively for Xbox" vibes. However, yea movies didn't exist yet

Dark Knight by NAPS team eventually became the upcoming Indie project Baldo, which is itself a Zelda-like game with an art style inspired by Studio Ghibli and Anime. I am so looking forward to playing it when it releases.
I see what you did there at 14:34
Nice touch
I didn't know this came out until I watched the video you just posted
20:36 bro animaniacs was my favorite cartoon series and the fact that it still got video game tie ins all the way until the gba and gamecube Era says alot about how many people love the series and still care about it
I actually enjoyed the longer videos I like to put the stuff on my stereo from my phone and listen to you talk about gaming stuff while cleaning my house thank you very much lol
I haven't watched this channel in awhile, & I forgot how much I liked hearing about game development & whatnot. It's so interesting how games come to be & what the devs experienced.
Man, never realized how many studios went belly up in the early 2000's
Many were started too, people were excited about new tech but much of the industry hadnt grown nor advanced enough quite yet. Kinda like how the GBA having an ARM chip but no backlit screen. So many ahead-of-their time things from that area in gaming and general tech. Now the industry is huge, my 8 year old son wants a GBA lol
i'm so happy that the Shantae GBA game is gonna see the light of day
honestly, i never watched this video until now, and i'm glad that my first time watching this is after the announcement
Some of these titles look so interesting. So sad we never got to experience them.
I love how Retro City Rampage DX really fulfilled what a GBA/SNES GTA would be like, with extra nintendo-ism. That game was an instant classic
Knowing some of the crappy games that actually end up going through with production, it’s sad to see some of these promising titles canceled, especially when they’re mostly finished.
This was a great video. I love the longer videos. Something nice to put on in the background.
This video was recommended to me btw. Just been busy ;)
Man these really help with work. Keep them coming DYKG
OKAY IM WATCHING THIS VIDEO FINALLY ARE YOU HAPPY GEEEZE
16:13 Everything he just said deserved HEAVY air quotes
Kinda funny how they make a post bitching about it doing badly, and then it suddenly gets recommended and starts doing well
Uh is it possible that the video they made saying their subscribers weren't served this GBA video actually led a lot of those subs to realize this video existed so they came and watched it? I mean that was the entire point of them posting that video. Makes sense doesn't it
It showed, for a lot of us... Many of us though didn't have an hour to spare on a finals week+Mother's day weekend on a video about cancelled gameboy advance games
ua-cam.com/video/UOnBqOWryJQ/v-deo.html&lc=Ugx3y7tavMdgLZxDeRd4AaABAg re-upload for archival purposes
@@El_Frutero - Yeah they didn't say it showed for everyone, they said it was shown to less people. The video's like 2 minutes and 20 seconds of it is them saying the clickrate was average but views were way down, which means people were just as likely to click it if they saw it, but fewer people saw it.
@@thegrapefruit8362 I only came to this video to shame them but they still get the view, I'd say in the long run it wasnt worth it, it left a bad taste in alot of people mouths.
@@thegrapefruit8362 They made a community post too, I highly doubt people missed both
sir, your transitions between segments were beautiful.
Great video! Personally, I'd love a video on cancelled Wii games. I know there are a lot of cancelled oddballs on there
i always loved reading about obscure old games on wikipedia and this video is like that but turned up to 100. great content thank you
5:55 this would have been amazing to see
I have a research paper to do, I must come back later to watch
A lot of these sounded really cool. Such a shame they never made it out!
I know! Radium would've happened on a home console with barely any changes.
"...the 2012 comedy Food Fight." Said as if it's a real film. With effort put into making it. Just made me smile to myself.
It exists, sadly.
@@hectormanuel8360 unlike all these games.
Which is even more of a shame
@@shytendeakatamanoir9740 These games also exist but unfortunately are lost
8:11 cant believe the world was denied that masterpiece
"Masterpiece" based on a single screenshot? Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love toon Link so any additional content with him would be welcome, but who even knows how it would come out if it did?
Man, this video is really well researched. Good job guys.
That first Pokémon game almost sounds like it ended up being Pokémon go years later lol
how to be a 3rd party game developer:
step 1: file for bankruptcy
Step 1: Make an impressive demo for a handheld
Step 2: Watch as every publisher refuses -or- team up with an already failing publisher
Step 3: File for Bankruptcy -or- get dragged down with failing publisher
I thought step 1 was start designing an ambitious game for the newest console then step 2 file for bankruptcy lol
@@Sevenigma777 That works too.
I had no idea there were so many 3D games planned for GBA.
Crawfish were awesome and it's a shame the studio got shutdown. Their port of Street Fighter Alpha 3 to the GBA was AMAZING!
I wish they had gone through with porting Yoshi’s Story to the GBA
Same but maybe they might remake it on the switch? Or at least remaster it.
Are you happy now? You got your views.
I came here to see if they deleted that video out of shame and they did hahaha.
@@Detective_L I cant believe they actually deleted the video of them whining. The whole thing really left a bad taste in my mouth with this channel, I have to unsub now
Yeah, I wonder how long it will take for them to start deleting comments tho, lol
@@kyahl Deleting the video was absolutely the best choice.
what happened?
What happened to the video where you blame UA-cam for no one wanting to watch this video?
They unlisted it LOL
@@kirbyofthestarsfan Hahahaha
@Jimson ua-cam.com/video/UOnBqOWryJQ/v-deo.html
21:27 That is footage of the Animaniacs game released on Gameboy. The sprites were copied and updated for the cancelled GBA game it seems as the sprites and animations are identical (aside from being better).
