    Funny thing, I worked on this game back in the days as a 3D artist/animator. It would have been a cool game (2D platformer with 3D graphics, kind of like new smb with mario64 graphics), but the distributor shut it down. Back then there were 2 companies called Humansoft in Hungary, so for legal reasons the developer in question was called HS Games officially.

      I actually used to have this game on DS. It was on a fun fiesta cartridge and it would just load up Garfield bound of home. The game was kind of bad because there was no sense of direction so I could never beat it so I always thought the game was too hard until I found out. It was just an early build of the game.

    It honestly wouldn't surprise me if that last option was the one. The publisher probably wanted something out for the new console and out before Christmas but, underestimated how long it would take for a developer to actually learn the hardware and tools to make a game for the DS. At the time you could potentially pump out a GBA game in a few months if you have a team who knew their way around it but, the DS was an entirely different beast and no small scale studio wanted to sign on to a project that functionality was impossible and the developer wasn't willing to work with an adjustable deadline so it didn't happen.

    I don't think there's anything in the plot synopsis that suggests that the game was going to be set at Jon's house, and in fact would argue it suggests the opposite! Think about it: how would Wild Cat be able to get away with dressing up and posing as Garfield if Garfield was home already? To me, that alone suggests that the clan would've tried to get rid of Garfield in some way, so the game would consist of Garfield trying to get back and stop Wild Cat before Jon goes broke, probably going through a mix of original and recognizable locations in the process - in other words, he'd be 'bound for home'.

  • @Discontinued_account
    @Discontinued_account Рік тому +39

    The pamphlets and the amazon listings pictures of the cover are different. on the earlier one it says "rating pending" while on the amazon one it says 3+. When a game has to go through rating with the ESRB, it has to be either in mid-late development or completed as to give the ESRB a full vision and to give it a proper rating depending on the type of game and it's contents. This means the game was worked on to the point where it got an actual rating from the ESRB and possibly a rom or physical dev cartridge for this game for the ESRB would had to been made, this means the game is in a semi or fully playable state. The same happened with Mean Girls DS and how that just vanished but also got a rating and that was found to be in a semi-playable state. So this game exists somewhere but we just don't know who worked on it or what happened to it.

  • @OranDoesThings
    @OranDoesThings Рік тому +104

    My guess is probably it being advertised either before a developer was found, or sometime before development began/very early in development. Considering shovelware games can typically take a few weeks to MAYBE a couple of months to develop, a Summer to Holiday 2005 window is a long time to develop something that is likely to either be an asset flip or a simple action/platformer title. It's possible that this was pitched and greenlit, but the developers were either never found or could never agree on a contract. Alternatively, the rights holders could have just pulled the plug early in development for whatever reason. I just find it hard to believe that any extensive work was done when there was about 4-6 months until the game was to be officially released.

      @@rosaevee274 Depends on the game. Some licensed games do have more work put into them, but shovelware is specifically designed to be quick and easy to produce so they can get put on store shelves fast. It's how so many games based on Disney films got released within the same week of their respective films. Basically when the film is announced is when the development of the game starts.
      My guess is that some companies have templates to work with or just change designs of an already existing game to match the licensed product. A lot of shovelware titles were very similar to one another and could have easily just been a generic platformer template, or Cooking Mama clone, or dress-up game template with added Garfield imagery.

    i grew up with the Garfield as Himself DVD, and it was so surreal seeing the dance scene with Jon in "Gets a Life" become a meme nearly 20 years later.

    In Europe, that Garfield as Himself DVD was mostly same as on US, although for some reason Garfield gets a Life was replaced with Garfield goes to Hollywood instead.

    I wonder if the people in charge of allowing the Garfield licensing got a final draft of the game after that flyer went out and were so unhappy with it that Nintendo scrapped it rather than spend time fixing it in order to get the approval and it got hush hush swept under the rug

    I think it’s telling that they happened to release a GBA game later in 2006 with the first DS title being the movie tie-in in 2007. It implies that what happened is that they failed to realize the scope of developing for the DS with its unique hardware that they scrapped it too late for the marketing team and then only bothered when the GBA was out of fashion and there was a movie license to cash in on.

    My guess on why it was called 'Bound For Home' is that the cat gang would've kicked Garfield out, so then Garfield would've had to make his way home.
    Also maybe the reason they specified no multiplayer was that someone besides Garfield was playable during certain sections. Maybe Odie, since he was on the box?

  • @michaelkadish3428
    @michaelkadish3428 Рік тому +3

    Regarding the complaint about the title, wouldn't it make sense that while the Wild Cat Gang is doing their thing, they've gotten Garfield stashed far away so that he can be impersonated, and Garfield has to escape and return as the game's main action. I mean, that does sound like a typical cartoon plotline, Garfield would, I don't know, be tricked in some way, maybe sent to Abu Dhabi like he'd try to do Nermal all those times, and he has to get back, he's *bound for home* to try to stop them. The home could be shown in cutscenes, or he has some sort of device that lets him see what they're doing from afar. Him looking at his watch on the package might mean that they've done something to keep him away until X time, which is the moment they know all the money would be spent and Garfield, learning the plan, realizes he has to get home before then to stop it. Maybe?

    As a Garfield collector I’m hoping the code turns up somewhere. I have those 4 DS games, but not all were released in Australia. Garfield Gets Real and Garfield’s Funfest are European editions I imported. Garfield 2 (A Tale of Two Kitties) is a Euro edition with Australian rating stickers added. I also have Garfield
    And His Nine Lives and Garfield The Search For Pooky on GBA and Garfield Labyrinth on GameBoy. Labyrinth is imported from France and had different characters and titles in different regions. Garfield Lasagna world Tour, Garfield, Garfield 2 on PS2. Garfield Caught in the Act on Megadrive

    my immediate thought was this DS game was probably an early version of the Search for Pooky (depending on the age of the advert) or the 2006 release Garfield and His Nine Lives both for the gameboy.

    The only major idea I have for the search is to try and contact someone from the development of either Garfield Gets Real or Garfield’s Fun Fest for DS. After all, those and Garfield: Bound For Home were both made for DS.

    This is just like all other lost media things. I'll tell you it's gonna turn out that it was never made and they jumped the gun on flyers. It wouldn't be the only time this has happened there are several magazines that advertised a nightmare on elm street game that never came out in the 90s. It won't have a good outcome and it will just be the most underwhelming thing
