Mark I’m heavily disappointed that this wasn’t a 50 minute video praising the masterpiece Morbius. Like Dr. Michael Morbius once said “It’s Morbin time”
LSMark you didn’t have to crunch yourself to make this 50 minute video so it can stay on schedule. Honestly none of us would’ve noticed or care if it wasn’t. But I really really appreciate the work you put into these. Thank you man for making my Saturday a little bit better.
Transformers DS was fucking awesome, there were 2 versions for Autobots and Decepticons like Pokémon and you could make your own Transformer and go around an open world.
I wanna get those games.. transformers 2 on ps3 is amazing too even if the decepticon campaign is technically unbalanced with starscream being overpowered as hell though I assure you it really doesn’t break that second part of the game it’s incredible it’s a game about fine tuning your play style or a character until you platinum a mission
I bought all the games for the main 3 Transformers movies on DS. They decreased the amount of customization each game to the point where the third game you only played as selected characters. But anyway, the first Transformers game was too hard for me. I tried getting through the first level multiple times, but it didn't work. I just gave up I guess, so I didn't get to see much of that one. I also got it last btw I remember Revenge of the Fallen the best other than remembering some character in the third game had a sword. I thought they were cool even though I didn't know who they were. I think I recall their name being Mirage. I know of the character from watching the first few episodes of the original Transformers cartoon now. I asked for the Transformers game for the 4th movie for Christmas just to discover it didn't exist. The customization got so bad that you couldn't even have your own experience playing as Transformers lol
The upsetting bit about Timmy's depiction in these games changing so much is that he was kinda broken if you took the time to level him in Unite's console version. With a healing move, a freeze move, and the best range out of all four characters, he was all around great.
Danny Phantom in every one of these just shows how he's great as a video game character. I wish Nick would show him more respect outside of that. I'd kill for a DP comic for older kids, like they're doing for Zim.
I had Unite for the DS as well when I was a kid and just seeing the footage brought back all those memories of struggling with the camera controls. That weird glitch with the Plankton boss fight was also on my standard release version. I still remember when I got to that boss and it went from tiny jellyfish to Plankton just floating there to the jellyfish reappearing but upside down and the realisation that I couldn't beat him nor the rest of the game
Ahhh, you just unlocked a deep memory of me playing Nicktoons: Unite on my DS too, it came on one of those bootleg cards too lol. I also suffered from the disease of stupidity and not being able to clear the first level 💀
21:20 Danny's phasing ability is pretty cool, it reminds me of Lani-Loli in Crash 4: It's About Time, where you can phase through other objects that you can pass through, or stand on other platforms that are solid. It's neat how they used that concept for him, and it works pretty well for puzzles and platforming.
Finally someone talked about the GBA version of Volcano Island and gave it praise that game's probably taken up most of my childhood so seeing it brought to light is just rad
The DS port of Attack of the Toybots was me and my sisters favorite game growing up. The multiplayer and unlockable characters kept us entertained for ages. An absolute classic.
Considering Globs Of Doom (the one I had) and Attack of The Toybots DS were developed by Natsume (as in developer of ‘Wild Guns’ Natsume) that might explain their quality. Attack for Volcano Island GBA was developed by the makers of Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride. So that explains why it’s the best of the bunch. So good on them.
Crazy how the game that actually has a story mode is like 30$ cheaper then the one that doesn't... NASB really felt like it needed more development time. Which, hey, is to be expected with it being a licensed game, but oh well.
@@hoodlumdx347 well it's also a much older game and slap city added the story mode and other cool stuff later on, which is what they're doing with nick.
I remember playing volcano island on GBA religiously as a kid. That was one of the only nicktoons crossover games I owned as a kid and I still enjoy it today. It’s honestly pretty underrated and I think it deserves more appreciation.
"As a kid if it wasn't Mario, Sonic, or a licenced game, I wasn't interested" Never resonated harder with a quote, though for me it was Pokemon instead of Mario, I even have a distinctive memory of passing up Dark Souls for some shitty licenced game.
I remember handheld ports of ongoing series from around this time followed a formula. This first game was rocky, but playable. The second game was shockingly ambitious on a technical level and actually fun. The third game got corrupted by laziness and regresses to being the worst of the bunch. The fourth game and onward were mini game collections.
I mean. I think we all kinda forgot just how obnoxious Jimmy Neutron was back in the day. I really feel like that show was good because of all the side characters, Jimmy himself was always super condescending. Even if he "learned a lesson" each time the next moment would be more condescending lol
Honestly while I never really played any of the Nicktoons games as a kid, I'm genuinely kinda surprised they never included Timmy and Mr. Crocker in Globs of Doom cause they totally could've given Crocker some type of attacks or move set based on how inventive he is, considering he always had some sort of invention with wanting to capture Timmy's fairies, I think it would've been cool to see something like that if he was included being part of his character
As someone who absolutely loves globs of doom on the ds, I’m glad this video can give it more recognition, especially the soundtrack. The one thing I want to bring up is that the game also has cheats which can be used after finding stars in the levels. The problem is that the heroes have cheats for “funny” costumes which give them glasses and a mustache, spongebob even gets new clothes. Now NO ONE knows these codes, there is no concrete answers just speculation, no video proof of them, and even experimenting things such as beating every boss with no damage or getting A++ (which can be very difficult and sometimes have rng) in a world gets you nothing. The only proof of these actually existing is their sprites which can be found on sprite resources.
the funny thing is that even with action replay codes... none of the cheats work, the sprites are literally inaccessible even with the cheats turned on!
@@alex_-yz9to Damn, really? I mean codes didn't work until after finding their respective stars and beating the game. Did the other codes work with action replay before unlocking them or before beating the game?
I remember getting a DS and Battle for Volcano Island for GBA as christmas gifts when I was 7 years old and I loved that game so much, it was the only thing I used to play for a while. I appreciate someone finally talking about it and mentioning how great its gameplay and music really are
I loved GBA Volcano Island so much as a kid. GBA was my very first console ever and that game opened the world of "real games" for me, in the sense that it made me enjoy every single second spent, even when I didn't knew what the story or main goal was. The controls and abilities felt good and natural, each character was fun to play as, even just to see the different sprite work (some of the best I have seen still to this date) and the music... THE MUSIC. Beat Therapy made some of the best stuff for this handheld, I even dare to call Volcano Island the best GBA soundtrack. I would sometimes just stay at the main title screen or the "lobby section" just to listen and relax to the music. I played the other two Nicktoons games on it, but Volcano Island really lives up as is own solid game, no nostalgia involved. It's an actual fun time with a lot of effort, heart and personality to it.
Toybots DS was so fun to me. As someone who loved the more forgotten Nicktoons like Zim (weird how the popularity of the show fell off fast enough for Nickelodeon to cancel it, but for some reason he is in literally every single spin-off game), El Tigre, Catscratch, Teenage Robot, seeing a game that brought them all together was really fun. Globs of Doom on the PS2 I certainly played more, but I think overall this game felt a lot cooler to me. (Speaking of, it was INSANE that they had Zim, Dib, AND a playable version of the town / Skool including a TON of easter eggs around Zim's neighbourhood just for the fans. Especially crazy how we haven't seen a playable Dib in NASB)
I have very distinct memories of receiving Battle for Volcano Island for the GBA as my second game on that console. I always wanted to revisit it to see if nostalgia was just holding it up in my mind. Glad to see that you’re getting some mild enjoyment out of it years later, Mark. Cheers!
I actually remember playing nicktoons unite DS as a kid. I didn't get very far, but it's always weird seeing games that I almost forgot existed from my childhood. Especially from the DS since it's the only platform where I played a few games that weren't made by some major company.
globs of doom for the ds was one of my favorite games as a kid…i think i got it out of a bargain bin at the grocery store when i was 8, and played it through multiple times lol. good to see it getting some love here
These games is just plain fun, no need for a bunch of lore, just attack and jump. My personal favorite is Battle for Volcano Island on GBA! The soundtrack for that game is a hidden gem
I'm biased because I have many fond memories playing it with friends when I was young, but I really love the DS version of Attack of the Toybots. It does have a repetitive structure, but the different features of each world make it a little more unique. I love the music and that you can collect different Nicktoons during the racing segments of each world.
The reason why the jellyfish robot was backwards is really simple. The boss probaly dies when the size is 0 in X, Y & Z, 0 means you don't see shit of that dud, however since he didn't died he continued shrinking, and the number under 0 is -1 in any editor, not only programming doing that means your shit will mirror his X, Y & Z.... That was my ted talk good video anyways
attack of the toybots ds was a staple in my childhood, my cousin and i beat it together over a vacation together when i was younger and is such a powerful memory i have with him, glad to see another person enjoys it. you've encouraged me to play it again as a teen
39:44 Whoa, what a weird time period for Nickelodeon Catscratch, El Tigre, My Life As A Teenage Robot, Invader Zim, and the other 5 main characters all being represented in one game is just kinda nuts
Damn one of the earliest memories I have is my dad coming home from work and surprising me by buying me the nicktoons unite game and banjo kazooie on gameboy and playing it with him before I went to bed it just made me unexpectedly emotional seeing that again
I FUCKING PLAYED ONE OF THESE. My cousin was explaining to me the concept of emulation when I was relatively younger and they showed me how to use my boy or something to play one of these on my phone.
From the corner of my mind I remember seeing an ad for a web game that was like Nicktoons unite but it was about encouraging kids to protect the environment.
from the sound of it, globs of doom sounds a _lot_ like the lost vikings with the key difference of having two rotating characters instead of a constant cast of three it's an interesting trade-off, actually. it seems like each nicktoon has a less versatile toolkit than the individual vikings, but the vikings, naturally, always have complete access to their tools. so while the level design in vikings could always factor in what the player can do without thinking about which characters they were given ... it also didn't really have a _choice_ in the matter, as the only way to limit the player's verbs was to lock one of the vikings away until the player solved a puzzle their toolkit would've invalidated, and consequently _all_ of that viking's tools were out of commission until they could be freely used again. the nicktoons approach, meanwhile, gives some _really_ granular control over the player's verbs that ... would probably benefit from having more than two characters available at once to compensate for each individual character's simplicity, but that starts to run into the issue where more characters means more characters you have to drag over to the exit, and there's a lot of finer details like that which really makes the game design part of my brain tingle
17:10 This almost definitely happens because the scaling vector (set of numbers that scales the jellyfish model in the X Y and Z axes) was being decremented with each hit. Once it disappeared (hit zero), it started going negative which is why it started growing but upside down (and mirrored). If you had infinite time on your hands you could probably make it so huge that it took up the whole screen before the vector under flowed back to the max. Dunno why they didn't just clamp it to 0 lol
It’s weird for the gaming whiz to make a video on Morbius, but I personally really appreciate it. I like how you even mentioned the morb crossovers, with Danny Morbius, Morbob Morbpants,Morby Morbtron, and even Timmy the morbin magic man. You even mentioned how mike, the Seth McFarland Morbius mouse, was killed off in Morbius 7: Morbius kills god.great video.
I had Nicktoons Unite for the DS as a kid and for YEARS that plankton boss fight haunted my nightmares, cause the same thing kept happening to me! I’m glad to finally have closure knowing I’m not the only one a decade later
You should give a series (of two games) called The Lost Vikings a look if you like the general idea of Globs DS, since it's kind of the main game of that sort people tend to look into for inspiration. also as far as anyone can tell Timmy's contract shenanigans are almost certainly because at some point Nick handed FOP over to some company called Nelvana for distribution in Latin America, going so far as having some of their flash games reskinned into FOP games exclusively on the appropriate version of the website, and it's entirely possible that this deal only happened most of the way through this series' run. It has to be something like that because as you'd said, Timmy was always a large part of the series and FOP was something Nick was still trying to work with well into the 2010's at least, so there must have been a really good reason they just *stopped* trying to use it in crossovers.
For real I remember having Attack of the Toybots DS as a kid and playing the everliving CRAP out of it. It defined a good chunk of my childhood and I was surprised the gameplay held up pretty well
I have so many memories playing Globs of Doom on the DS growing up. I remember I used so really suck at the game and didn’t know what to do on multiple occasions (such as the trick cage in level 2 of Bikini Bottom or the jump at the end of level 2 of Pupununu Village) but every time I managed to get further I felt really good about myself. And when I finally made it to the final boss where you can choose whichever pairing you wanted, I thought that was pretty neat and exciting. I haven’t played it in a while, but I might want to go back and check out some of the levels I don’t remember playing as much. Oh also there is a button to have your partner follow you, they can jump and attack and stuff but they aren’t nearly as smart as a human player and they can get themselves killed on accident or if you set them up correctly which I always found funny.
I don't see how he's in the wrong when he tried his best though. Like how does hyping yourself up before a fight like any other boxer put you in the wrong?
You know what make a good plot for a Nicktoons game? SpongeBob leading a rebellion against the Nickelodeon execs to get rid of the SpongeBob standard where shows not an instant success will be dumped to Nicktoons Imagine the dialogue, “WHAT ARE YOUR DEMANDS!?” “Well I want equal treatment for the other shows for one.”
Aww. I was hoping you'd talk about freeze frame frenzy, a kind of 2d Pokemon snap for the gba that has you taking pictures of out of place nicktoons to send them back to their dimensions. It even included a lot of show references, especially in the sponge bob and fairly odd parents levels. Heck, ZIM was the main antagonist!
I'm so glad to hear you liked Attack of the Toybots (DS) and Globs of Doom! I'm so nostalgic for them and I had a lot of fun playing them as a kid, playing them all the time. I'll have to go back and check our Volcano Island (GBA) sometime soon.
Ayyyy, yesss. Finally, someone else remembers the handheld games besides me!! XD. soo looking forward too this video, especially with what you think of volcano island on gba!! >:3 ❤️
I also would point to the high number of high-quality indie games that are extremely cheaply priced in comparison to AAA titles as another contributing factor. People don't need to buy shovelware anymore if they only have $20 to spend on a game when there are well-made, lengthy games like Binding of Isaac or Stardew Valley that are priced less than that amount
I had Attack of the Toybots on PS2 and got so mad because I was having trouble with a level for like a whole afternoon (I was like 7 and had no hand-eye coordination lol). Well I finally got almost all the way to the end, and then my character clipped through the map and fell into an endless void. I had to reset the console and start over. Also I had a combination cartridge of Nicktoons Freeze Frame Frenzy and Battle for Bikini Bottom for the GBA and I have so many great memories with those games that were brought back when I thought of the Nicktoons games again.
Hey, i actually beated the DS version of Sponge Bob and friends quite recently. Timmy's touch screen hability is to freeze time so he can, you guessed it, sneak past enemies. Pd: Fairy Odd parents world is both better and worse than the console version. Better because you actually explore Demsville, and worse baceuse it's an entirely stealth based world, it's a good thing the Game didn't let you play it.
Damn, I owned the Nicktoons Unite DS game as a kid and I never could beat that Plankton fight, either. I thought I was just awful at video games and it's so validating to hear that the game is just broken.

Mark I’m heavily disappointed that this wasn’t a 50 minute video praising the masterpiece Morbius. Like Dr. Michael Morbius once said “It’s Morbin time”
Or 50 minutes video saying bob burger movie is the best
Morbius is such a classic, you need to take up half the length of it to do it justice.
I got some ideas to improve this channel. Whenever Mark isn't talking about Morbius, everyone should be asking, "Where's Morbius???".
And then he goes and Morbs

25:42 seriously this make Butch Hartman looks like a Disney artist.
Toybots DS was so fun to me. As someone who loved the more forgotten Nicktoons like Zim (weird how the popularity of the show fell off fast enough for Nickelodeon to cancel it, but for some reason he is in literally every single spin-off game), El Tigre, Catscratch, Teenage Robot, seeing a game that brought them all together was really fun. Globs of Doom on the PS2 I certainly played more, but I think overall this game felt a lot cooler to me.
(Speaking of, it was INSANE that they had Zim, Dib, AND a playable version of the town / Skool including a TON of easter eggs around Zim's neighbourhood just for the fans. Especially crazy how we haven't seen a playable Dib in NASB)
I played the handheld Nicktoons games all the time as a kid, so this is really gonna be a nostalgia trip!
I am so glad that Mark is finally talking about Battle for Volcano Island on GBA, was one of my favorite GameBoy games as a kid
I loved this scene in Morbius, where Morbius is revealed to be a really good Nicktoons Unite player in the post-credit-scene.
@camille vasquez Bot Alert
17:49 I’m a bfdi fan and seeing the words battle for ,and lsland in the same sentence makes my go insane
I fucking love licenced games. They're usually not that great but damn they were always fun, I wish they were still making them.
I have very distinct memories of receiving Battle for Volcano Island for the GBA as my second game on that console. I always wanted to revisit it to see if nostalgia was just holding it up in my mind. Glad to see that you’re getting some mild enjoyment out of it years later, Mark. Cheers!
Nicktoons wise. Gba unite amd volcano were my forst 2 nick games.
Mark may hated unite. But 5-9 year old me loved them
Toybots on DS was super fun; I remember playing with my cousin and having a blast.
I actually remember playing nicktoons unite DS as a kid. I didn't get very far, but it's always weird seeing games that I almost forgot existed from my childhood. Especially from the DS since it's the only platform where I played a few games that weren't made by some major company.
globs of doom for the ds was one of my favorite games as a kid…i think i got it out of a bargain bin at the grocery store when i was 8, and played it through multiple times lol. good to see it getting some love here
I have so much nostalgia for the game boy version of Volcano Island. Just hearing the music triggered so much joy.
These games is just plain fun, no need for a bunch of lore, just attack and jump.
My personal favorite is Battle for Volcano Island on GBA! The soundtrack for that game is a hidden gem
Hmmm
I'm biased because I have many fond memories playing it with friends when I was young, but I really love the DS version of Attack of the Toybots. It does have a repetitive structure, but the different features of each world make it a little more unique. I love the music and that you can collect different Nicktoons during the racing segments of each world.
I actually still own Nicktoons: Attack of the Toybots for PS2 till this day, including my PS2.
I still own the DS version of Toybots, such a fun game
Lucky. I have 2 copies of the Wii version. The PS2 version is one Im looking for to add to my collection.
Wow. A Nicktoons crossover game that has many flaws where it’s an example of when as it shows most of the characters in a different way possible
0:35 Pep-Peppa Pig?
Has a VIDEO GAME?!
This is it, the world is dying
A very well known franchise has merchandise? Who would've guessed
This is the sequel I never knew I wanted
The reason why the jellyfish robot was backwards is really simple.
The boss probaly dies when the size is 0 in X, Y & Z, 0 means you don't see shit of that dud, however since he didn't died he continued shrinking, and the number under 0 is -1 in any editor, not only programming doing that means your shit will mirror his X, Y & Z....
That was my ted talk good video anyways
attack of the toybots ds was a staple in my childhood, my cousin and i beat it together over a vacation together when i was younger and is such a powerful memory i have with him, glad to see another person enjoys it. you've encouraged me to play it again as a teen
39:44
Whoa, what a weird time period for Nickelodeon
Catscratch, El Tigre, My Life As A Teenage Robot, Invader Zim, and the other 5 main characters all being represented in one game is just kinda nuts
Damn one of the earliest memories I have is my dad coming home from work and surprising me by buying me the nicktoons unite game and banjo kazooie on gameboy and playing it with him before I went to bed it just made me unexpectedly emotional seeing that again
I love that you made a 50 minute in depth review video on Nicktoons and I love that I watched the whole thing despite not playing most of them
I FUCKING PLAYED ONE OF THESE.
My cousin was explaining to me the concept of emulation when I was relatively younger and they showed me how to use my boy or something to play one of these on my phone.
i remember having volcano island for the gba
it was surprisingly a good game
46:30 You got me dead with that Henry Danger bit 😂😂😂
From the corner of my mind I remember seeing an ad for a web game that was like Nicktoons unite but it was about encouraging kids to protect the environment.
30:44 The guy looks like he came out The X's.
Coincidentally a few of the characters from that show are master models in the game.
from the sound of it, globs of doom sounds a _lot_ like the lost vikings with the key difference of having two rotating characters instead of a constant cast of three
it's an interesting trade-off, actually. it seems like each nicktoon has a less versatile toolkit than the individual vikings, but the vikings, naturally, always have complete access to their tools. so while the level design in vikings could always factor in what the player can do without thinking about which characters they were given ... it also didn't really have a _choice_ in the matter, as the only way to limit the player's verbs was to lock one of the vikings away until the player solved a puzzle their toolkit would've invalidated, and consequently _all_ of that viking's tools were out of commission until they could be freely used again. the nicktoons approach, meanwhile, gives some _really_ granular control over the player's verbs that ... would probably benefit from having more than two characters available at once to compensate for each individual character's simplicity, but that starts to run into the issue where more characters means more characters you have to drag over to the exit, and there's a lot of finer details like that which really makes the game design part of my brain tingle
Yeah most certainly inspired by Lost Vikings in that regard.
Man, that game had an awesome Genesis soundtrack by Matt Furniss.
17:10 This almost definitely happens because the scaling vector (set of numbers that scales the jellyfish model in the X Y and Z axes) was being decremented with each hit. Once it disappeared (hit zero), it started going negative which is why it started growing but upside down (and mirrored). If you had infinite time on your hands you could probably make it so huge that it took up the whole screen before the vector under flowed back to the max. Dunno why they didn't just clamp it to 0 lol
It’s weird for the gaming whiz to make a video on Morbius, but I personally really appreciate it. I like how you even mentioned the morb crossovers, with Danny Morbius, Morbob Morbpants,Morby Morbtron, and even Timmy the morbin magic man. You even mentioned how mike, the Seth McFarland Morbius mouse, was killed off in Morbius 7: Morbius kills god.great video.
your are my new favorite youtuber. i have watched almost all of your videos over the past two weeks. i need more. im addicted.
The mechanic of collecting bolts and use them as health is very interesting, and on top of that do the boss fights also look decent in that game
I had Nicktoons Unite for the DS as a kid and for YEARS that plankton boss fight haunted my nightmares, cause the same thing kept happening to me! I’m glad to finally have closure knowing I’m not the only one a decade later
I played an absolute ton of the GBA Volcano Island game, it was cool to see you talk about it. I should revisit it sometime 👍
You should give a series (of two games) called The Lost Vikings a look if you like the general idea of Globs DS, since it's kind of the main game of that sort people tend to look into for inspiration.
also as far as anyone can tell Timmy's contract shenanigans are almost certainly because at some point Nick handed FOP over to some company called Nelvana for distribution in Latin America, going so far as having some of their flash games reskinned into FOP games exclusively on the appropriate version of the website, and it's entirely possible that this deal only happened most of the way through this series' run. It has to be something like that because as you'd said, Timmy was always a large part of the series and FOP was something Nick was still trying to work with well into the 2010's at least, so there must have been a really good reason they just *stopped* trying to use it in crossovers.
I really wish we got morbius in 2007. We would totally get a licensed game
Would've been the best game ever.
@don't be surprised n
@@Luh_katkat *One of the games ever
For real
I remember having Attack of the Toybots DS as a kid and playing the everliving CRAP out of it. It defined a good chunk of my childhood and I was surprised the gameplay held up pretty well
Now the teaser makes sense also yeah not Many people talk about how different these versions are.
I have so many memories playing Globs of Doom on the DS growing up. I remember I used so really suck at the game and didn’t know what to do on multiple occasions (such as the trick cage in level 2 of Bikini Bottom or the jump at the end of level 2 of Pupununu Village) but every time I managed to get further I felt really good about myself. And when I finally made it to the final boss where you can choose whichever pairing you wanted, I thought that was pretty neat and exciting. I haven’t played it in a while, but I might want to go back and check out some of the levels I don’t remember playing as much.
Oh also there is a button to have your partner follow you, they can jump and attack and stuff but they aren’t nearly as smart as a human player and they can get themselves killed on accident or if you set them up correctly which I always found funny.
"Arin Hanson syndrome" is a real thing, it - essentially - describes a person that has done some dumb shit on the Internet and is called out for it.
I don't see how he's in the wrong when he tried his best though.
Like how does hyping yourself up before a fight like any other boxer put you in the wrong?
@Evan Knight lol
Idk if it was just the mood I’m in rn, but “Arin Hanson syndrome” fucking punched me in the gut.
I had a couple of these as a kid, but remember loving Volcano island for gba
You know what make a good plot for a Nicktoons game?
SpongeBob leading a rebellion against the Nickelodeon execs to get rid of the SpongeBob standard where shows not an instant success will be dumped to Nicktoons
Imagine the dialogue,
“WHAT ARE YOUR DEMANDS!?”
“Well I want equal treatment for the other shows for one.”
My favorite licensed games are the sonic games, they even came out before the movies
the video on the console versions is one of my favorite videos from your channel - glad to see one on the handheld versions!!
Aww. I was hoping you'd talk about freeze frame frenzy, a kind of 2d Pokemon snap for the gba that has you taking pictures of out of place nicktoons to send them back to their dimensions. It even included a lot of show references, especially in the sponge bob and fairly odd parents levels. Heck, ZIM was the main antagonist!
I'm so glad to hear you liked Attack of the Toybots (DS) and Globs of Doom! I'm so nostalgic for them and I had a lot of fun playing them as a kid, playing them all the time. I'll have to go back and check our Volcano Island (GBA) sometime soon.
Ayyyy, yesss. Finally, someone else remembers the handheld games besides me!! XD. soo looking forward too this video, especially with what you think of volcano island on gba!! >:3 ❤️
Licensed games died off once middle tier games became less common and triple a games became the norm, it's why not many games get released these days
also, mobile games started to get big
@@elmaionesosexo wasn't a fan of mobile games myself so don't know how those are these days
@@slinkman8253 mobile games are the home to licensed games, believe me, so many games get thrown in there
@@elmaionesosexo ahh okay I'm a bit of a boomer when it comes to mobile games haha
I also would point to the high number of high-quality indie games that are extremely cheaply priced in comparison to AAA titles as another contributing factor. People don't need to buy shovelware anymore if they only have $20 to spend on a game when there are well-made, lengthy games like Binding of Isaac or Stardew Valley that are priced less than that amount
I had Attack of the Toybots on PS2 and got so mad because I was having trouble with a level for like a whole afternoon (I was like 7 and had no hand-eye coordination lol). Well I finally got almost all the way to the end, and then my character clipped through the map and fell into an endless void. I had to reset the console and start over.
Also I had a combination cartridge of Nicktoons Freeze Frame Frenzy and Battle for Bikini Bottom for the GBA and I have so many great memories with those games that were brought back when I thought of the Nicktoons games again.
Hey, i actually beated the DS version of Sponge Bob and friends quite recently. Timmy's touch screen hability is to freeze time so he can, you guessed it, sneak past enemies.
Pd: Fairy Odd parents world is both better and worse than the console version. Better because you actually explore Demsville, and worse baceuse it's an entirely stealth based world, it's a good thing the Game didn't let you play it.
3:16 happy to be apart of the rare few mark
Can’t wait to dive into this one!
Freeze Frame Frenzy was one of my favorite games when I was a small child
Damn, I owned the Nicktoons Unite DS game as a kid and I never could beat that Plankton fight, either. I thought I was just awful at video games and it's so validating to hear that the game is just broken.
I feel like mark being sponsored by manscaped is just a tradition now
Battle for Volcano Island GBA/DS is basically Mega Man ZX with Nicktoons that’s amazing
If it makes you feel any better mark, the second you put that Disney channel game on the screen my mind instantly said “aw fuck I kind of want that”
