You don't need pants for the victory dance...

[@misterzygarde6431]

Would you play a Nicktoons vs Shonen Jump fighting game by Arc System Works?

[@ryancarless7921]

There was supposed to be a Dexter's Lab Robot fighting game. Kinda wish it came out

[@samireland54]

I had Cartoon Network racing and I never had those glitches happen to me. Seeing them was so funny though

True, You should record yourself doing the victory dance... without pants X.x

[@MontyDotharl]

I routinely forget that Swat Cats isn't spelled "Catz" because that would be the only thing that could make it more 90s.

[@c.bretmiller6148]

I totally get the 'Z' but the 'C' eludes my comprehension.

[@BBoy4040]

Why isn't it spelled "Swat Katz" besides Courage the Cowardly Dog implications

@@jonathangarza5389 I think that's a thing now. Just telling you in case you didn't know, and still want it a whole year later.

Gumball's legit a great show. By far the best modern show on CN I've seen.

[@blackhatfreak]

Sooooooo many pulp fiction references

[@swandive46]

Regular Show before that.

[@LordKraken3]

The Powerpuff Girls ended in 2005, a year before CN Racing was released.

[@mesousagaby740]

13:24 Even Powerpuff Girls ended. Unless you lived in Japan, when the anime was on. in 2006, Ed Edd and Eddy was still on...yet they're not included int his game. DERP.

[@HandmadeGoose97]

Cartoon Network doesn't actually own Edd,Ed, and Eddy.

[@tylerdenaro639]

A.K.A. Cartoon, Inc owns Ed, Edd, n Eddy

[@Danbo22987]

Daniel Staples yeah but they are still included in other crossover games

Also, you don't know who Mordecai and Rigby are?!

Pirate your console and download the game for free!

Or look up a emulator (just helping out)

[@bubbastevegarcia2459]

Glad I bought it before it left the store! 🔥 🔥

[@halocrusher7]

Shout out to that sweet Rem lezar reference, God bless RedLetterMedia for finding that gem.

[@BugsyFoga]

"This wasn't responsible for making furries " Me : "Okay I believe you "

[@The11thHero]

What's your problem with Clarence? The entire show captures how a kid thinks more than anything else I've ever watched to nostalgic lines of "I think if I collect them all I'll get a super power" or children arguing about how stupid happy meals are with their own internal logic. Not to mention it's filled to the brim with experimental animation episodes harkening back to stuff like "Home Movies" and getting the "Baman and Piderman" animators to do an episode.

[@amirgarcia547]

That bad Cartoon Network Smash Bros. clone comes to mind, but if I remember correctly you talked about that already.

[@retropunk_20XX]

Crono Sapien are you referring to Punch out XL? Or is there another bad smash clone lurking in the bargain bin

[@amirgarcia547]

Screenage Gaming I think it was called “Cartoon Network Punch-Time Explosion” or something along the lines of that.

[@retropunk_20XX]

Crono Sapien thats the one. God that was awful, to its credit though it got some laughs out of me and my friends

[@edgarmorales9950]

God I loved Swat Kats and its kick ass butt rock intros.

[@sarasaland4709]

Bad Flintstones games sounds like a Yabba Dabba Doo of a time. Since there’s only about... seven billion.

[@emceemunchapussy1891]

The best Flintstones game is GRAND DAD

[@Wyvern_Rosfield]

Been a few years since I subbed. Your face still arouses me. Thank you.

[@Danbo22987]

Cartoon Network Racing also didn’t have Ed Edd n Eddy for some reason, despite being their longest running show...

[@jaytee2314]

This was such a great video! Im 26 so cartoon network has literally been around my whole life. The best CN games were definitely on the website. Adult swim games are making it up to us now

[@staticsoul]

I remember playing that ppg fighter in grandmother home when I was little child on a Pokemon base console. Didn't realize how bad it was back then Until now..

[@MiloKuroshiro]

Yeah, SWAT Kats didn't made me a furry. At all. T-Bone has nothing to do with what i try to find in guys. At all. I swear.

[@DocDevious23]

Whew, glad I'm not the only one!

[@kung-fucutman5463]

Thank you for sparing Punch Time Explosion XL

I agree cause that game was actually decent despite the flaws it had.

Is there some sort of legal obligation to hire the *shittiest possible companies* when making a licensed game?

[@tylerlamberg5783]

I gotta say, I loved Cartoon Network Racing when I was younger. My father and I played the absolute HELL out of it.

[@MrAndresm900]

2:29 I always wanted a Dragon Bird from F-ZERO but nobody ever made that into a toy either 😂😅🥲

[@otaking3582]

9:03 Is anyone else gonna point out the fact that the title has a question mark? It's like the game itself isn't sure what's going on.

[@jonettheonly]

I've been trying to remember what game did I play that was like Power Stone and you finally helped me remember it was Powerpuff Girls! I played it a lot and still have it. Totally forgot the battle system though. This video was so nostalgic, taking me back to my childhood~ I miss those days.

[@bradyblu4794]

Make a vid about BAM! Pretty please! Pretty pretty please? I loved the Ed Edd n Eddy game growing up, complete it please and beat the robot level. You can do it! I believe in you! I know you can do it! Play the Bam games. Pretty please. Pretty pretty super pretty please. Thank You.

[@paulw858]

17:43 - "Battle Crashers lacks any kind of voice acting, making everything feel very uncanny valley." How is that a representation of uncanny valley? Is there some definition I'm unaware of? This is the second time I've heard someone talk about uncanny valley in a way that doesn't relate to computer imagery/robotics. I thought uncanny valley was a visual resemblance to something real. How does the lack of voice acting exhibit uncanny valley? I'm genuinely curious.

[@Taentarctic]

I think what he meant was: “It’s good to see the characters together, but only see them together. Without them talking together remove how special is this crossover.”

[@claireschroeder3353]

It this situation I think he means that the lack of voice acting creates the same "off" feeling you get with uncanny valley in robotics

[@crys7695]

The editor meta joke killed me

[@Volt790]

Relating to the shows you don't know from Battle Crashers, Regular Show & Gumball are Top-Tier Cartoons. Regular Show finished with 8 seasons & Gumball's gonna be finishing Season 6, but they're both good if you haven't checked them out. They're all on Hulu.

[@bes03c]

I actually tried a little bit if battle crashers. It was miserable. Props to Austin for lasting as long as he did.

[@Windwalker88]

The youtube grind is real

[@Lostinsilenthill]

Your shirt screams Cartoon Network.. Love it!

[@Mech610]

There actually WAS an attempt a couple of years ago to 'modernize' Swat Kats. It was called Swat Kats Revolution, was run by the original creators and had a successful Kickstarter campaign but I don't think anything else ever came of it.

[@Bezaliel13]

That Flintstones game looks... primitive. *YEEAAHHHH!!!!!!!

[@MoonSpiritChannel]

Man, the list of Cartoon Network games are almost everywhere, and I have some of which aren't listed here.

[@Crampsam]

I had Cartoon Network Racing as a kid and absolutely loved it. Haven’t played it in over 10 years but I shudder to think about how much time I must’ve sunk into it

[@novelezra]

**Looks around nervously, before leaning in and whispering in your ear** Callie Briggs, am I right?

[@Screwy]

I'd kill for a Rising Zan Samurai Gunman video As well as Eve of Extinction

[@bubbastevegarcia2459]

I concur!

[@Choatemister]

Why did you have to remind me that Swat Kats has been forgot by its creators? Now I’m sad I don’t have a new Seat Kats comic

[@heisicon661]

Great vid Austin!

[@alexanderking8336]

I was expecting this to be about the flash games on the CN website.

[@BigBlackGuyReviews]

Who else paused and went clip hunting after seeing 20:50-20:59? I know what I'm remixing! THANKS, AUSTIN! I never would have known the magic that is Rem Lazar. I never would have known... 😭💙🖖

[@YosefASelim]

The Master System Flintstones game is actually a port from the Amiga, which is equally of not more abysmal.

[@SneedBass]

I remember having a Flintstones platformer for Gameboy when I was a kid. I can't remember what it was about though.

[@CringelordJen]

I 100% forgot about swat cats.. Things make a lotta sense now

[@queso_king]

Loved me some SK(inb4 furry), did not know that game was so bad. Thanks for sharing this video, it really hits home growing up with all these characters and games now I'm into my late 20s.

[@sozaj]

That guitar in the Swat Cats cartoon clip kind of sounded like the work of Brian May.

[@TheAwkwardJosh]

>sees Zanki Zero Hope you talk about the game eventually!

[@EddieDean1]

i never heard of rising zan and i now need to play it

[@LoneAlchemist]

i think the reason the japan ese company made swat kats was cuz iirc season 2 was outsourced to a japanese animation company and thats why season 2's animation quality is a hell of a lot better than season 1. the game came out during season 2

[@Rick586]

Was not expecting to see Rem Lazar today XD

[@v.m.9198]

I remember the captain planet game on the cartoon network gamesite being really neat but thats probably nostalgia talking

[@a.dennis4835]

I was not expecting a Rem Lezar reference.

Gadget Hackwrench + Callie playing a little..."cat and mouse" would sure make for some good crossover "fanart"...just putting that out there.

[@Animedogfingamer]

The most surprising thing to me is the diss towards Regular Show and Gumball when they are older then Steven Universe and more popular. Literally came out around the same time as Adventure Time

[@WillieManga]

12:46 Like "Samurai Pizza Cats"? Also, huge missed opportunity to call it KARToon Network.

[@derrickhaggard]

My opinion is Swat Kats: The Radical Squadron the cartoon was awesome. Swat Kats: The Radical Squadron the video game was decent to somewhat meh for me meaning I didn't find the game bad overall but it could've been a lot better especially during the Turbokat sections.

[@ThelosVerlos]

"Battle Crashers"? Wait a minute, they were trying to capitalize the Castle Crashers sucess with that?

[@JasperFoxo]

I swear to god if they ever make a bad gumball game, there will be war.

[@Screwy]

Oh yeah on a different note, I saw the icon for Zanki Zero there. How are you liking that? I'm surprised you haven't mentioned it before (to my knowledge at least)
