Plush Toy! ▶ bit.ly/carlplushie Thank you SO much for your support. 🤗❤ I can't wait to hear what you think of the game!
One of the very first things I ever saw on these was also my first time seeing YuGiOh ever. My brother bought that GBA at a parking lot table sale for 25¢ and I still have it. Good times indeed.
When you say canceled before launch. Do you mean there's a warehouse out there with GBA video Sonic X2 that was never shipped🤯 And if not, do you at least know what episode it would have been?
That cracked me up so much, especially with his reaction. Man, I love this channel. I really like the Gaming Historian channel and a few others as well (Gaming Historian's video on Tetris could be made into a movie, it's that good), but I absolutely love Drew's presentation style, the background music, they are the perfect length when you only have a short while to watch something, and I love that for the most part, he actually physically HAS the hardware and software he is talking about. I found my original Game Boy a few years ago, and then lost track of it again. It was from the colour series they released, the green one. It didn't have the plastic screen protector but it still worked perfect when I threw some AA's in. It had some weird puzzle game that I couldn't get into (and have no idea how I played it as a four year old), but the nostalgia was overwhelming. I didn't get much use out of it because for Christmas that year, my grandparents bought me the Sega Genesis set that came with Sonic the Hedgehog 2, which is the first game I ever beat at 7 years old, though it was only one time haha. My next "don't need it, but really want it" purchase is going to be one of those Genesis units with the built in games, since they smartly include a cartridge slot, unlike Nintendo's classic console re-releases unfortunately. I really would love to find a copy of Sword of Vermilion. That was the first RPG I ever played, and I remember loving that you could save your progress and have multiple save files. I had two, my brother had one, my mom's boyfriend at the time had one from when it was his game. He had a Genesis as well, and he gave me quite a few games that I really, truly miss. Vectorman, Fantastic Dizzy, Mortal Kombat (because my friends were jealous that they had the Super Nintendo one that was censored, and mine had blood and gore lol). So many memories....
@@CutieFakeKirby I have a compressed shrek file that's tiny as shit. can't remember the size so I can't compete but shrek is just... ahhh, words can't describe
It's kinda nuts how fast media technology evolved from the early 2000s. In 2004 we had bitcrushed movies sold on cartridges for portable video game systems. 10 years later we were capable of watching any video we want anywhere we want on our phones.
It would be cool. I love things like this... I don't know if you watch Techmoan on UA-cam, but you should check out a few of his videos on this really niche format called Vinyl Video. I already have a good turntable, so I'd love to buy their little amp box that separates the audio and video channels and displays the video to your screen. I think it's like, 7 frames per second and only in black and white and mono audio (because one channel is used for the audio, the other for the video), but there is something so incredible about them, and any niche format. I loved the UMD discs for the original PSP, I remember they were actually pretty good quality. Granted, UMD discs held 1.8 gigabytes and the screen resolution was 480x272. Plenty of room for a decent quality movie. I mean, you can find 1080p .MKV movies around 3GB, so 1.8 for standard def is plenty. I remember buying this speaker that hooked onto it and gave it hand grips, that thing pumped out sound like nobodies business! I love both the PSP and Nintendo DS, but my friend was showing off his DS one day, but everyone was more interested in watching the lobby shootout scene from The Matrix, or taking a turn playing their favorite old PlayStation games that I had transferred over from my PS3, or playing GTA Liberty City Stories and being amazed that it was open world just like GTA3 was. But when I showed them how you could download .SWF files and organize them and open them in the web browser they loved that. Of course, the Nintendo DS could eventually do most of the same things, just in a different way. Still, having that bigger 16:9 display did make it better for movies imo.
Yeah, my wife and I watch Techmoan; he's actually local to me, too - I'm pretty sure I know where he got some of the VCDs in his collection from. :) The custom vinyl video thing looked really interesting and cool but when I suggested we get a custom one made, I was told "stop being silly, you've got enough stuff clogging up the house already". That's me told, I suppose.
@@GameHammerCG Yeah, I'd love to have a custom one. I was thinking of throwing together a few minutes of footage from birthdays, holidays, get-togethers and the like, I think that would really fit the format. It would be like old home movies, but on a vinyl disc instead of a projector.
And yet the Switch still doesn't have Netflix Thanks for the video, this has been one of the more fascinating topics in terms of being such a direct market response to trends, something Nintendo doesn't very much do.
2004 = almost no portable devices to watch video on thus, GBA video 2018 = a million things (including the phone you're probably holding in your hands right now) that could stream Netflix My phone = 1440p Switch = 720p Netflix isn't a priority on the Switch and for good reason. =)
@@thebasketballhistorian3291 I was going to say the same thing, but you beat me to it. To be fair though, some people may only have the ability or income to have one system, if that system is the Switch, and they perhaps don't have a computer it would be kind of annoying to not be able to access something that every other electronic device can. But I do agree with you... I have a Galaxy S8, I'd rather watch a movie or show in QHD (1440p) on a 5.8" HDR AMOLED screen then on a larger screen with less resolution. (I'm referring to watching it on the Switch's screen, not whatever screen it's hooked up to.) I don't have a Switch yet, but that is one of my next purchases. It will be hooked up to a television with a Chromecast and Roku Express already connected, I can pull out my phone and play something, or grab the Roku remote and do the same. I don't need every device to do everything. I'm sure a Netflix app for it will be released eventually, particularly if they really want it to compete with tablets in terms of functionality. (though actual, physical controls will always be better than virtual buttons IMO, so in terms of gameplay, the Switch will trump any tablet) I'm just hoping they make it a full fledged one. The one on my 2DS I uninstalled, because my account is not the main one, and you cannot switch them, which sucks... My Hulu and UA-cam Premium are all mine, so no problems there. But they are really just on there for 'just in case' moments, like if my phone is charging and I want to continue watching something without being stationed next to an outlet, or I'm on hold with a company and have half of an hour to kill, same reason I have a few songs on it too.
So you can watch GBA Video on a DS Lite, right. I am planning to collect them for my DS Lite that I just got recently from a retro game store that also has a lot of GBA Video cartridges. I know regular GBA cartridges work on a DS.
somebody might have mentioned but I don't think they were 160p. I think it was probably 160i. I doubt the GBA was powerful enough to do frame rendering/buffering/etc
If it can run 3D games like Duke Nukem and Crazy Taxi, then I think it can display a video at fullscreen at native resolution with all sorts of compression algorithms in place.
Also 160 i was introduced because of Bandwith reasons it would need to pruduce all the frames but would just stitch them together which means that 160p would have been more lightweight by a tiny bit and the bandwith was surely enough
These were absolutely amazing! I remember my Dad would go nuts over these, he thought it was so cool that they were able to figure out a way to not only play games but watch movies on the Game Boy Advance. These things are probably so rare now
I remember when FF7 Advent Children came out, the only copy at the time my friend found for me was a version converted to GBA format and it was a trip to watch in that resolution.
"3D Memory" is a variation of the EXTREMELY common and old technology known as programmable read-only memory. This was invented in 1956. All Matrix did was create a three-dimensional stacked PROM. A new variation on extremely old technology.
It is not ethical to advertise to children. They have no idea about how money work and would believe any adult in advertisement that tells them the Need the product.
Desma it’s shocking how take 2004 for grantage now, back then it did feeled sooo futuristic, but if you will go back to 2004 now, that’s like going back to the 90’s. What a shocking changes these day’s.
2004 Nintendo board meeting: boss: okay company we are going to invest $15m in this company!... phill: but why??? Boss: phill!!!! Did you not listen?? The people need more shrek!!!!!!!
ProtoMario I kinda agree. I wanna port the entirety of Draggonball , Dragonball Z ,and Dragonball Super , and even redo Dragonball GT for the GBA Video.
I remember watching Sonic episodes over my brother's shoulder on a long road trip. He had headphones in the whole time and now I'm 18 and he's in prison for assault so moral: share your damn Sonic episodes
Having your viewers tweet you questions to construct this video around is a really awesome way to create engagement as well as make an informative video. Your flow from question to question also progressed so naturally that it never felt like you were just jumping from fact to fact. Basically, cool video and good work. Nice collection also
They’re basically audio synced animated GIFs. I want to say it was a thing Disney pioneered for the GBA KH game but it was mostly just a gimmick until these.
Man, I remember back when I had a couple GBA Videos, it was the coolest thing ever to watch an episode on the go (even if it was the same episode I've seen 100 times lol). Now, I have literally 10,000s of shows and movies to watch on my phone (Netflix, Hulu, etc) but unless i'm flying I would never watch on the go. Truly a stark contrast to the changing times and the degradation of childhood wonderment. A similar experience occurred when I got a LG Voyager and watched TV on my phone anywhere I had signal, it even had an antenna! Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
What a phenomenally succinct video! This was pretty much everything I could've wanted to know about GBA video with lots of cool details and visual demonstrations packaged in a cozy and elegantly presented 10 minute video. I can tell lots of hours went into such a well condensed presentation. Great job!
I really wanted you to cover this. Others have, but no one have done a through research on the topic. So I'm glad you got your hands on these odd cartridges.
@@ItsCruzTube but have you actually seen a game kart for it? im searching the web and all i see is boxart for it on amazon and 2 people acclaiming they have bought it thats it... that and some website has a page for it. not even nintendrew has it so if it does exist then his collection isn't complete.
Hey, everyone! Quick reminder for those in the New York area: I'll be at RetroGameCon in Syracuse this weekend! Grab your tickets here: retrogamecon.com/
The fact this exists at all is awesome! I love early portable digital media. As a kid in the late 90s early 2000s i still used my game gear with a tv tuner. GBA style graphics, a TV and master system compatability, this was the ultimate portable in 2000
Btw, the GBA Video lockout inn the GB Player is done thru the software, which means that with homebrew software (it's called"Game Boy Interface") you can wathch them on your TV. {Sorry for bad english ;) }
Those were one of the best things from my childhood. I still have the SpongeBob Volume 1, 2, and 3, the Cartoon Network Volume 1, and the 1st Shrek Movie. I sometimes watch them on my Nintendo DS. Thank you for making this video. 👏😁
I had a cousin who had a bunch of these and had to get one of them for myself. Want to get the Shrek one just for the sake of having the best version of Shrek :)
5:58 - For some odd reason, The Super Retro-Advance by Retro-Bit for the SNES can run GBA Video carts without stopping at the 'Not Compatible with Gameboy Player' message!
One of my friends at school found the Game Boy Player warning to be amusing! “Game Boy Player” Hey, I can copy this! “Not compatible with Game Boy Player” D’oh!
Yeah, I got the Spongebob cart for my GBA because for reasons I will not go into after work at the time I had to spend 8 hours waiting for a ride home, anyway once I saw what you got and the quality of the picture and sound for $20 per cart, I saved up the $90 for a portable DvD player that played the discs I already owned. This is one of those things that is interesting to look at and collect but it was never going to be a big hit IMO.
Kids nowadays will never know how excited we were about this, and the GBA in general. Super Mario Bros 2, Sonic Advance 2, and Mortal Kombat Advance were some of my favorites.
Stealphie why would anyone lie about that lmao The SP i use now (a scratched gray one) was found by my moms friend on the side of the road. It worked fine and has functioned longer than ones ive bought from retro stores
Not 'nes', and a gba sp isn't that rare, i have one, (and it came from someone who used to have 2, but now has 1). Cool thing about the gba sp, it can play any gameboy (tm), gameboy color (tm), and gameboy advance (tm) (s), So Grab A Gameboy Game And Play The GBA SP (special), For 7-10 Hours
I was riding on a bus in 1st grade and then one of the older kids was like: "Look Smug! It's Spongebob playing on my DS!" A few years later I checked out RebelTaxi's video on GBA Video. MFW.
What the heck, how have I never heard of these? I had a gameboy, all my friends, cousins, and classmates had gameboys. Never heard you can play movies on it. Must not have been popular in Europe or maybe not even released here. Many years later I was completely amazed by the PSP's ability to play videos and I ended up buying a lot of those movie discs for the PSP.
My sister had one of the Spongebob videos and me and my siblings remember it being the most amazing thing in the world. For my family and I, we never had cable (and still don't), so when we discovered that Gameboy Advance came out with episodes of channels we were too poor to get, this was honestly the better option. My siblings and I now have those four short episodes of Spongebob memorized because we watched it so many times! lol The fact that you have all of the known videos from Gameboy Advance is honestly incredible! I didn't realize there was that many!
Great video man! Really well detailed and nicely presented history on some neat technology.! Thank you very much for this :) . if you ever want to do super long videos, please feel free :).
Fun Fact: Evangelion Death(true)^2 and The End of Evangelion were actually released on UMD video but only in Japan as part of a pack with the PSP version of Neon Genesis Evangelion 2 (AKA. Neon Genesis Evangelions) made to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Evangelion.

2004 Nintendo board meeting: boss: okay company we are going to invest $15m in this company!... phill: but why??? Boss: phill!!!! Did you not listen?? The people need more shrek!!!!!!!
The only way to watch shows is GBA VIDEO...
PERIOD!
ProtoMario hey
way better than an iPhone 3 on youtube/netflix

I kinda agree.
I wanna port the entirety of Draggonball , Dragonball Z ,and Dragonball Super , and even redo Dragonball GT for the GBA Video.
You can watch all star on there
By the time. Not today eany more.
I remember watching Sonic episodes over my brother's shoulder on a long road trip. He had headphones in the whole time and now I'm 18 and he's in prison for assault so moral: share your damn Sonic episodes
I don't know whether to laugh or feel sorry
I can’t tell if this is a joke or a serious statement...
What in the world

I love how theres a division of Nintendo that has the acronym “NERD”
Haha they're big nerds.

_changes the video quality to 144p_
Better.
@johnnie eletrônico No. 60 FPS is better than 144 P or 27 FPS.
This comment was a joke about how GBA Video is displayed at 160p
@johnnie eletrônico It's a joke.
Lmao

Having your viewers tweet you questions to construct this video around is a really awesome way to create engagement as well as make an informative video.
Your flow from question to question also progressed so naturally that it never felt like you were just jumping from fact to fact.
Basically, cool video and good work. Nice collection also
Thanks so much!
Nintendrew I found your channel last week and it's been a treat, so I should be thanking you!
I've seen one of these in a store recently, and it's crazy! Episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants? In full color and sound? On a GBA? Insane!
and it was Volume 2, which had Jellyfish Jam on it, and I love that episode! In full color and sound, too!
They’re basically audio synced animated GIFs. I want to say it was a thing Disney pioneered for the GBA KH game but it was mostly just a gimmick until these.
gonna put this whole video on a gba video rom
It Might Work But What I've Experienced Was That Videos Over 5 Min Long Are Not Able To Fit
@@ChunkedDump well how are they showing shrek
@@pixellord2370 the 3D memory carts had more ROM to store files that big
I used the program meteo and it didnt work
@@romajimamulo so the limitation is from the program or the cartridge it's placed on
Except for the classic nes cartrages which is somewhere in the middle... “proceeds to put it on the side”
Man, I remember back when I had a couple GBA Videos, it was the coolest thing ever to watch an episode on the go (even if it was the same episode I've seen 100 times lol). Now, I have literally 10,000s of shows and movies to watch on my phone (Netflix, Hulu, etc) but unless i'm flying I would never watch on the go. Truly a stark contrast to the changing times and the degradation of childhood wonderment. A similar experience occurred when I got a LG Voyager and watched TV on my phone anywhere I had signal, it even had an antenna! Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
This was the coolest video I've watched in a long time
That’s actually pretty awesome that they did this, especially now that you can make your own video clips into one.
What a phenomenally succinct video! This was pretty much everything I could've wanted to know about GBA video with lots of cool details and visual demonstrations packaged in a cozy and elegantly presented 10 minute video. I can tell lots of hours went into such a well condensed presentation. Great job!
I really wanted you to cover this. Others have, but no one have done a through research on the topic. So I'm glad you got your hands on these odd cartridges.
The Shrek and Shark Tale pack is 3 hours long? Screw Endgame, I'ma watch Shrek+Shark Tale for GBA!
Its cool but the problem is the graphics. It's like your watching a movie but in Microsoft color version.
And shrek 2 bc they have a shrek+shrek 2 combo pack
@@ItsCruzTube but have you actually seen a game kart for it? im searching the web and all i see is boxart for it on amazon and 2 people acclaiming they have bought it thats it... that and some website has a page for it.
not even nintendrew has it so if it does exist then his collection isn't complete.

Yep

Wow! I owned like a third of these and still have them. I would’ve assumed more had been made.
The fact this exists at all is awesome! I love early portable digital media. As a kid in the late 90s early 2000s i still used my game gear with a tv tuner. GBA style graphics, a TV and master system compatability, this was the ultimate portable in 2000
Btw, the GBA Video lockout inn the GB Player is done thru the software, which means that with homebrew software (it's called"Game Boy Interface") you can wathch them on your TV. {Sorry for bad english ;) }
Bad england*
I know right he doesn't even do that he didn't even do research oh my God
He said even if you could play it on a tv it would look like absolute crap.....

@@opossumontheinternet9864 it's treason then
what are you doing in my gba!!!!!!
That is the most genius way I have ever heard of making ROM. Fuses, some purposefully blown? Pure artistry.
So...I could port this video into a gba cartridge and watch it anywhere with full color? WOAH
AND SOUND!
and yeetus!
It Might Not Work
@@spongefan155 they did it for our favorite green ogre
Those were one of the best things from my childhood. I still have the SpongeBob Volume 1, 2, and 3, the Cartoon Network Volume 1, and the 1st Shrek Movie. I sometimes watch them on my Nintendo DS. Thank you for making this video. 👏😁
I had a cousin who had a bunch of these and had to get one of them for myself. Want to get the Shrek one just for the sake of having the best version of Shrek :)
That 3D Memory idea is really rather smart. Thanks for sharing this.
holy fucking shit this is the most 2000s thing i never knew i needed
Woah Woah wait.
Nicktoons volume 3 was one of the rarest? I owned that one years ago when I was just a kid. My stepdad sold it in 2010. Had no idea.
Wait they had the voice of ash Ketchum do t hat 1 line in the commercial?
Meme Wanderer no that’s what he actually said in the episode
@@Y2JHHHDX like a clip
He always wears that hat.
Pokemon is owned by Nintendo, so yeah
When i was younger I used to download converted episodes of the Simpsons, put them onto my R4 for DS Lite and watch those on longer trips.
Can you still do that?
Chidi Ibie I don’t know, maybe. Search for ds movies
5:58 - For some odd reason, The Super Retro-Advance by Retro-Bit for the SNES can run GBA Video carts without stopping at the 'Not Compatible with Gameboy Player' message!
One of my friends at school found the Game Boy Player warning to be amusing!
“Game Boy Player”
Hey, I can copy this!
“Not compatible with Game Boy Player”
D’oh!
I would totally watch episodes of Nintendrew on a GBA Video cartridge in my GBA SP. Make it happen!
3:33
I actually have those two Pokémon carts on the left. I used to LOVE watching "Go West, Young Meowth".
That's the sad Pokemon episode.
Yeah, I got the Spongebob cart for my GBA because for reasons I will not go into after work at the time I had to spend 8 hours waiting for a ride home, anyway once I saw what you got and the quality of the picture and sound for $20 per cart, I saved up the $90 for a portable DvD player that played the discs I already owned. This is one of those things that is interesting to look at and collect but it was never going to be a big hit IMO.
Kids nowadays will never know how excited we were about this, and the GBA in general. Super Mario Bros 2, Sonic Advance 2, and Mortal Kombat Advance were some of my favorites.
I’m 12 and saving up for a Game Boy Advance at a retro gaming store.
when I was 5 I found a rare nes gba sp edition and found sponge bob inside
Still have it?
Stealphie why would anyone lie about that lmao
The SP i use now (a scratched gray one) was found by my moms friend on the side of the road. It worked fine and has functioned longer than ones ive bought from retro stores
I bought a spongebob GBA SP, and found, of course a spongebob game.
EthλnGeroge Nope.
Not 'nes', and a gba sp isn't that rare, i have one, (and it came from someone who used to have 2, but now has 1). Cool thing about the gba sp, it can play any gameboy (tm), gameboy color (tm), and gameboy advance (tm) (s), So Grab A Gameboy Game And Play The GBA SP (special), For 7-10 Hours
It's 2018 and I'm just hearing about this. Time to clean out the attic
Love it! Growing up in the early 2000s was amazing! I miss it. I wish we could go back.

I was riding on a bus in 1st grade and then one of the older kids was like: "Look Smug! It's Spongebob playing on my DS!" A few years later I checked out RebelTaxi's video on GBA Video. MFW.
Started my own collection of these. They’re really cool.
Wow, I didnt realise the movie carts had such cool custom chips! Great vid! 😊
I had a VideoNow!
Such an obscure system now
Omg me too! I can't remember exactly when I got it but it has to be under 5 years ago, My grandma it got it me for a birthday or a Christmas!
@@Ashfullstop12 I had gotten mine in 2006
That video now I wanted so bad but I got it and i never used the damn thing.
What the heck, how have I never heard of these? I had a gameboy, all my friends, cousins, and classmates had gameboys. Never heard you can play movies on it. Must not have been popular in Europe or maybe not even released here. Many years later I was completely amazed by the PSP's ability to play videos and I ended up buying a lot of those movie discs for the PSP.
Shrek 2 on GBA? Heaven on earth.
Exactly
Exactly
Not to be confused with, Shrek 2 Game on GBA
You repeated the same sentence twice
I bought 2 cartridges just for this reason!
I want these, not sure why considering I have a phone and Tv, but you know. *It's a Gameboy*
So you don't have a PC? Sad
@@Blasckk I do have a pc, but this is a GameBoy.
Declan64 he was joking you fucking moron
@@copyrightclaim1922 Sure he was joking, and I was also joking. Doesn't change the fact that it's a Gameboy.
All those people who own a GBA in general or an Original Nintendo DS and/or a Nintendo DS would be feeling so proud of themselves for having them.
Can I please point out that you do not have a gaming history video playlist yet? It would be great to see those videos in one place.
Really like the twitter comments - they fit in the video very well
Glad to hear it!
My sister had one of the Spongebob videos and me and my siblings remember it being the most amazing thing in the world. For my family and I, we never had cable (and still don't), so when we discovered that Gameboy Advance came out with episodes of channels we were too poor to get, this was honestly the better option. My siblings and I now have those four short episodes of Spongebob memorized because we watched it so many times! lol
The fact that you have all of the known videos from Gameboy Advance is honestly incredible! I didn't realize there was that many!
Great video man! Really well detailed and nicely presented history on some neat technology.! Thank you very much for this :) . if you ever want to do super long videos, please feel free :).
i remember having the spongebob one, dora, and jimmy nuetron. the spongebob one had the jellyfish episode where they invaded his house.
I remember that episode.

This brings back memories. I’m pretty sure I may still have a few video cartridges with spongebob and a couple other cartoons on them
Completely ahead of its time, a true era of renaissance
I’m a simple man. If I see shrek, I click.
3 A.M. I’m watching this at 3 am! Lol
Damn everyone else almost agree with you because all the comments are about Shrek.
Im scared of your name... and avatar
I dreamt one day that there would be a DS Video when I first heard about this.
May not be the sharpest tool in the shed but the picture quality is sharp enough to cut someone
I sense a shrek reference

Technically UA-cam and Netflix both existed in 2005
I thought that too, also There where phones around that time that could Play Videos
@@alberto_balsalm_ Beat me to the punch, nailed it.
Netflix was a DVD by mail rental service in the 00s, while UA-cam was in its infancy
Kevin Rosario-Castillo Netflix still does that. It costs more I think
Yeah but I was one year out of high school in a pretty big city at the time, and NO ONE was doing ANY of those yet
Shrek sees that pack of shrek and gameboy. Shrek:Oh hello there!
Hey man.. I'm glad I found your channel.
Okay but VideoNow let me have this same experience but in BLACK AND WHITE. Obviously the clear winner. /s
Lol
How could dislike this, you can watch tv on a gameboy advance in full color AND sound
Wait a minute... Volume 2 of "Sonic X" on Game Boy Advance Video was actually cancelled before it was released? Bummer, dude. :(
Very interesting video, it would have been nice if Finding Nemo and The Incredibles were on GBA video.
Too bad Disney didn't agree with this project. At least not enough to put whole movies on GBA Video
I remember these! I had a pokemon anime, spongebob, and shrek cartridge for my GBA as a kid. I’d watch them in the car on long road trips. Good times.
So. I can watch Shrek 2 on a DS?
*YES!* Of course.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON MY DS
Yes
how about shrek infinity war
yup
"It was rough"
It was on a GBA, so it's anything but rough.
Now, you can start collecting the movies for PSP and make episodes about it.
Fun Fact: Evangelion Death(true)^2 and The End of Evangelion were actually released on UMD video but only in Japan as part of a pack with the PSP version of Neon Genesis Evangelion 2 (AKA. Neon Genesis Evangelions) made to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Evangelion.
2:27 Oh god why? XD Why would they put Shrek and Shark Tale together? This is the doing of a 4Chan time time traveler isn't it?
