MASK would be great and so would Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors. Such an underrated cartoon from the 80's. Silverhawks seems like it would just be a shooter of some kind.
I have to say, lately you have inspired me to start collecting some key games. Mainly stuff from my own childhood, don't really want everything made, just the hits for NES and SNES.
Love seeing 80s revival In video games. We need more franchises get their NES debut - MOTU, My Pet Monster, Teddy Ruxpin, Glo Friends, Rainbow Brite, Care Bears..
I think Thundercats or Voltron could use a great video game adaptation. There might have been a Thundercats game, but I don't remember it if so. Voltron would be cool if done in the 80"s Go Lion/anime style.
There was a Voltron game that was digital on ps3 and 360. Delisted now though, you'll have to sail the forbidden seas if you missed out and wanna play itm
I'm still amazed we never got He-Man, MASK or Transformers NES games in the 80s. And Transformers has no excuse since they got a Famicon release...although it's insanely difficult.
I wouldn't advise it, I bought a box of unopened cards from 86, and got the Barry Bonds and Mark McGuire rookie cards I was looking for, but could have done without the gum. Each card next to the gum looked like it had a grease stain making them worthless :(
I would've loved this game as a kid. And I bet it would've sold pretty well. I can imagine the cigarette-smelling rental cartridge (maybe it's just my area, but games from the video store always smelled like cigarette smoke).
LOL, back in the day there was two local video stores in my town, and they both smelled liked stale cigarette smoke. That’s crazy that in retrospect that this might have been a thing associated with video stores back then😂
Yup, it was created as a riff on the Cabbage Patch Kids dolls, plus I like to imagine that it laid the groundwork for the kind of gross-out humor we'd see in the 90s from the likes of Ren & Stimpy.
I wonder if Muppet Babies or Fraggle Rock would make fun NES games? Also wish we had gotten a REAL GHOSTBUSTERS (animated show) game back in the day. M.A.S.K, Voltron, Thundercats are all missed opportunities, but the real crime was no He-Man game. I liked the Intellivision MOTU game as a kid, but a NES game woulda been special! Should it be a platformer? Adventure? Beat-em-up?
This game is nothing but amazing nostalgia but also well put together and as always thank you for your review , it being 10 bucks for switch was a no brainer but your honesty sold it too me
This is a great game, bought and just finished it on Steam. Retrotainment did a great job with this. Definitely recommend picking up on your digital platform of choice even if you're gonna get the NES game.
Garbage Paul kids are still being made dollar tree use to have packs and my wife would pick up packes for me I do believe target and walmart sell packs n their card section and you can always go to ebay
been keeping an eye on this one, at least morbidly curious about it, haha. Also y'know what, sign me up for He-Man and/or M.A.S.K. on NES too! I believe they got retro computer ports to like C64/ZX/etc. but never anything on NES, oddly enough! Especially with the resurgence of he-man on the likes of netflix with that new animated series, that would at least be cool to see.
Preordered and also downloaded on Switch. I was a little dissappointed by the number of playable characters, cause John Hancock’s video made me believe there were 39.
I haven't purchased any of the new garbage pail kids stuff. Skateboards, cereal, stickers, hot sauce, the list is endless. However I had to pre order the Nintendo game. Part 2 on the SNES?! and GENESIS?!
A brand new NES game about GPK? 😍This is a first dream come true. Unfortunately, I'm forced to pick up the digital version only since I live in Italy. The another great dream for me...oh John, you said it: a brand new Masters of the Universe NES game! THE 80's KID COMPLETE PACK! 🤩
Same here I still have some of my old Garbage Pail Kids cards but I'm missing a lot my mom and dad threw them away damn it so I got to restart but I do have some I got those little plastic containers that I think holds about a 50 cards I could be wrong but I have about four of those I got to get back on it I like that one it was like a Venus flytrap I can't remember it's name but it was like a Venus flytrap it was my favorite one I got to try to find it it was a venus fly trap
This is awesome that they are making this but I think they missed the mark on the price point. Come on $80 smh. Companies really trying to milk nostalgia. The Retrobit stuff was all $40 a couple years ago. Most of the comparable cartridges to this are $60 now. It’s a hard pass at $80 for me, which is a shame.
It's about time GPK got a proper video game treatment. And I'm impressed with how they basically re-engineered an NES cartridge for the sake of authenticity. My only issue is they keep using the same little pool of GPK for every tie-in media when there are so many more that could be worked with. (That's my way of saying "WHERE THE HECK IS LIZARD LIZ??!?!?!?!!!")
@@user-oi1ot4uw6m As an enemy, I noticed. I wish she would be playable in something, anything. I was so miffed when she wasn't in the phone game at all.
I'm surprised there was never any decent Transformers games for the NES. Would have made a killing! And yeah, I know there was a Famicom game, but it wasn't brought over and it sucked so...
i bought the nes version also when i saw who was involved in this game on day one of it being posted. ... so this is a fan made homebrew game based on the suposed real nes game they have yet to "find" ? im thinking there will later be a hole big thing on the finding of the real game like the E.T. game . THAT would be interesting! like a garbage pail kids nes game that smell like trash & si*t becouse the et game smelled when they dug it up. The new videos clip clay animation looks good. better then the movie & tv shows. over all the game looks good also. would be cool if they found the other game & we end up getting a different nes game. would also love to see more 80s cartoon games. disney gummy bears cartoon would be awsome! i'm glad they made a rainbow brite nes game .
This game looks loooks like garbage! I saw this somewhere and it reminded me of those really terrible THQ movie/television licensed NES carts. I understand that there is nostalgia involved but, don't remind of us THQ nostalgia.
I'd love to see a M.A.S.K. NES game. What IP from the '80s or '90s would you like to see?
Thundercats. It did got a game but not on NES.
I always wanted a Silverhawks game, or Galaxy Rangers.
M.A.S.K. would be cool but I would have to go with inhumanoids
MASK would be great and so would Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors. Such an underrated cartoon from the 80's. Silverhawks seems like it would just be a shooter of some kind.
Wasn’t there a MASK game for the Commodore?
I’m 44 and still have all my GPK cards. This is so cool!
I have to say, lately you have inspired me to start collecting some key games. Mainly stuff from my own childhood, don't really want everything made, just the hits for NES and SNES.
Maybe sit on that notion for a minute until things start to come down a tad.
Love seeing 80s revival
In video games. We need more franchises get their NES debut - MOTU, My Pet Monster, Teddy Ruxpin, Glo Friends, Rainbow Brite, Care Bears..
We need a good Masters of the Universe game already. 16bit would be preferable IMO.
That'd be so awesome
Yes! Masters of the universe would make a perfect beat em up!
I think Thundercats or Voltron could use a great video game adaptation. There might have been a Thundercats game, but I don't remember it if so. Voltron would be cool if done in the 80"s Go Lion/anime style.
both would be amazing!
There was a Voltron game that was digital on ps3 and 360. Delisted now though, you'll have to sail the forbidden seas if you missed out and wanna play itm
There was a Thundercats game for the Nintendo DS
He Man would be great . Im surprised there hasn't been one.
@@adriance123 There was one on Xbox 360 arcade.
A multiplayer A-team game for Nintendo or the arcade
This looks awesome John! I would have been all over this back in the day!
2:28 The face distorts into horrifying shapes... "It's SO cute!" Lol
Seriously though reminds me of Philip from Space Funeral
We knew a friend named Roy. Thanks to GPK we named him Roybot for the rest of his life.
Thundercats. It did eventually got a game on the DS based on the superb reboot but the game itself wasn't very good.
M.a.s.k was my favorite toy line next to transformers.
I'm still amazed we never got He-Man, MASK or Transformers NES games in the 80s. And Transformers has no excuse since they got a Famicon release...although it's insanely difficult.
I ate a piece of stale gum when I was a kid from a 15 year old pack of baseball cards, it basically turned into sand in my mouth :P
I wouldn't advise it, I bought a box of unopened cards from 86, and got the Barry Bonds and Mark McGuire rookie cards I was looking for, but could have done without the gum. Each card next to the gum looked like it had a grease stain making them worthless :(
Roger Clemens rookie as well, at the time the Raphael Palmero rookie was worth a little bit until he committed purgery in the Supreme Court
Inspector gadget would be cool!!!
We NEED a Thundercats NES game!
A Thundercats NES o Genesis game would be nice
As a child of the '80s, I still can't fathom how there was never a Monster Squad NES game made 🤷🏻♂️
Love the channel JR! Another great video
Very cool review, I was 14 in 1985 when these came out, and everyone was collecting these in middle school
I would've loved this game as a kid. And I bet it would've sold pretty well. I can imagine the cigarette-smelling rental cartridge (maybe it's just my area, but games from the video store always smelled like cigarette smoke).
LOL, back in the day there was two local video stores in my town, and they both smelled liked stale cigarette smoke. That’s crazy that in retrospect that this might have been a thing associated with video stores back then😂
I did play testing on this and it's such an awesome game. Patty Putty is the most fun to play easily.
A Dungeons and Dragons cartoon game for the NES :)
Gauntlet
It's amazing that there are still games being made for the NES after all these year's😎
The thing is...These are more favors of love and not "REAL NES "games.
How was there NOT a gpk game back in the day?
I don’t know much about Garbage Pail Kids but was it also gross and bizarre?
Yup, it was created as a riff on the Cabbage Patch Kids dolls, plus I like to imagine that it laid the groundwork for the kind of gross-out humor we'd see in the 90s from the likes of Ren & Stimpy.
The stale gum is a reference to the gum that came in the pack of cards.
Food Fighters and Barnyard Commandos
I wonder if Muppet Babies or Fraggle Rock would make fun NES games? Also wish we had gotten a REAL GHOSTBUSTERS (animated show) game back in the day. M.A.S.K, Voltron, Thundercats are all missed opportunities, but the real crime was no He-Man game. I liked the Intellivision MOTU game as a kid, but a NES game woulda been special!

Anyone know if the rom is availabe? I have the Steam version, looks like the NES rom is embedded.

This is a great game, bought and just finished it on Steam. Retrotainment did a great job with this. Definitely recommend picking up on your digital platform of choice even if you're gonna get the NES game.
Bought it yesterday for Switch. Having fun with it for sure.
Is this an unreleased game like The California Raisins, or is it new?
Totally new!
Makes sense that the Garage pail kids are searching for fruit strips gum. If you know you know.
When will this come out on Switch 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I really miss collecting these. I wish I knew where my cards went. Is it still possible to buy these?
Garbage Paul kids are still being made dollar tree use to have packs and my wife would pick up packes for me I do believe target and walmart sell packs n their card section and you can always go to ebay
yep. go on ebay. that's how i started my collection.

HE-MAN PLEASE! 🙏
I had all the cards back in the day. This is a must buy for me. Good review and cool video John!👉😃👈

This looks great. I'm all in. Need me a masters of the universe beat em up
YES!!!
Dibs on Ram Man
I'd go teela. I like the faster characters, which are almost always female
@@JohnRiggs Any chance you or someone you know could hack Golden Axe? That would be a good base for a He-Man multi-player game mod.
JohnRiggs, I wish someone could add to or mod the game to make the Vampire playable. I believe his name is Nasty Nick.
So many great 80's and 90's that would make a great game!
$80 for a cart is ridiculous!
Same here I still have some of my old Garbage Pail Kids cards but I'm missing a lot my mom and dad threw them away damn it so I got to restart but I do have some I got those little plastic containers that I think holds about a 50 cards I could be wrong but I have about four of those I got to get back on it I like that one it was like a Venus flytrap I can't remember it's name but it was like a Venus flytrap it was my favorite one I got to try to find it it was a venus fly trap
Juicy Jessica OS3
nice hat 👍🏽
MASK or Voltron would be great if done right.
Timeless, John.
BOGLINS are BACK!!!
Would not have known about this without you, thank you 😭🤧😮💨
how do I get the NES cart?
Carts available here: www.iam8bit.com/products/garbage-pail-kids-nes
This is awesome that they are making this but I think they missed the mark on the price point. Come on $80 smh. Companies really trying to milk nostalgia. The Retrobit stuff was all $40 a couple years ago. Most of the comparable cartridges to this are $60 now. It’s a hard pass at $80 for me, which is a shame.
I would never pay 80 bucks for it.
Yes, the price is unacceptable.
@@gregoryl.levitre9759 I understand inflation, but not for 35 year old technology. Those physical catridges don't cost that much to make.
M. A. S. K. !!!
I love gpk. I have every series, full sets. Ive been buying them for over 30 years.
Id like to see A-Team on NES

Lizard Liz alias Slimy Sam is in the game :)
@@user-oi1ot4uw6m As an enemy, I noticed. I wish she would be playable in something, anything. I was so miffed when she wasn't in the phone game at all.
How much would it cost to develop a game?
Cause I'd be happy to invest. No joke Mr. Riggs.
To make a game, be epic
That hat is killer
That will run on a nes? That’s amazing! What size is the rom?
I dont know but for modern consoles its over 1gb
Is it a region-free cart?
It'll play on 50Hz PAL, just at the slightly slower speed
WHO is pre ordering it???
And ordered. I'm going to go stare at my mailbox now lol
Thundar the barbarain. The only thing hanna barbara ever did that was not trash. Dark water completed story would be nice as well.
want a freak out moment? My mom tossed my garbage pail kids. I had the entire first set or two. In great condition. "They were disgusting"... :|
No ROM option? That's a bummer. I'm all about EverDrive these days.
I think madballs would do good too for a nes game lol
Did you just up your production value of your videos John? Or did you get a new phone? Lol
I may have to pick this up eventually. Looks really wacky.
Quest for Stale Gum is über apropos!
Masters of the Universe😱😱😱
That hat is bad ass!
where do we get the rom?
Just preordered one, biggest question will be, open it and play it or leave it sealed?
Buy two copies
That's cool
All tops bubble gum was stale even if the cards were new in the 80's. 😁
I'm surprised there was never any decent Transformers games for the NES. Would have made a killing!
And yeah, I know there was a Famicom game, but it wasn't brought over and it sucked so...
Gorgeous nes game
The graphics are really good and if it was made in the 80s they graphics might not have been that great.
Garbage Pail Kids for the switch whaaaat 😍
i bought the nes version also when i saw who was involved in this game on day one of it being posted.
... so this is a fan made homebrew game based on the suposed real nes game they have yet to "find" ? im thinking there will later be a hole big thing on the finding of the real game like the E.T. game . THAT would be interesting! like a garbage pail kids nes game that smell like trash & si*t becouse the et game smelled when they dug it up. The new videos clip clay animation looks good. better then the movie & tv shows. over all the game looks good also. would be cool if they found the other game & we end up getting a different nes game. would also love to see more 80s cartoon games. disney gummy bears cartoon would be awsome! i'm glad they made a rainbow brite nes game .
UA-camrs do not answer to people without Ticks next to their names. Us lot are all beneath them
A interesting game.
Wait what?😅
I ❤80's 😎👍
Pee Wee's Playhouse NES, lol.
I could legit see a Pee-wee's Playhouse game on NES as like a collection of minigames or something.
Thundercats
80? Lmao 😂 not a chance
This game looks loooks like garbage! I saw this somewhere and it reminded me of those really terrible THQ movie/television licensed NES carts. I understand that there is nostalgia involved but, don't remind of us THQ nostalgia.
Bet this game is 1000x better than the shitty movie lol
I want a Magnum PI nes game
