    A few years back I released a video on the console Nicktoons Crossover Saga, Nicktoons Unite, Volcano Island, Attack of the Toybots and Globs of Doom, but I failed to talk about the handheld ports of each entry, released on the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS, so today we're looking at The Nicktoons Handheld Crossover Saga!

      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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

  • @hi-i-am-atan
    @hi-i-am-atan Pƙed 2 lety +6

    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

    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.
