SpongeBob SquarePants: Revenge of the Flying Dutchman REVIEW | Nickelodeon Video Game History

[@skysamfreeman]

There's something about this game that feels strange. It doesn't really feel like how SpongeBob should feel. It's like some kind purgatory version of Bikini Bottom. I'm not sure if that has to do with the more realistic art style, character designs, or the lighting. But it's honestly my favorite SpongeBob game. I always come back to it for some reason. The music variety is the biggest knock against it. I think they just tapped George Sanger on the shoulder a month before they had to ship it and told him to throw something together really quick.

Looks like we're nearing the infamous Nick Party Blast! Gonna be an interesting video on that game when we get there!

[@CoffeeFlavoredMilk]

A bit refreshing IMO to see a more positive take on the console version. This game has been shit on profusely in recent years especially when you compare it to the Heavy Iron Spongebob duology (Truth or Square has its own problems). I haven't played it recently, so this makes me want to check it out in the future. Also in general referring to the IGN review I dislike the reviewer trope of insulting the potential audience/fanbase of something. Just seems pointless and at times almost petty.

[@Zed-97]

Honestly, learning about Big Skys history and hearing a positive review of this game has softened up my original opinion on RotFD. It's not the best Spongebob game, but is it the absolute worst? No.

This channel is awesome and so nostalgic! It's weird that there are barely any cheap cartoon/movie games nowadays. They were really popular on the PS2 and the Wii.

[@CartoonReview]

It's just become way too expensive to make these kinds of games any more, which is why you usually see them head to mobile instead. Quite a few Netflix animated shows have been getting games lately, so maybe they'll make a bit of a comeback.

[@Luvdiscdelgado]

I remember playing the ps2 version and I couldn't sleep for 2 weeks because of the graphics Fun

[@birdlegscass]

11:13 Mr. Krabs' nose is normally a different shade from his body, it's just supposed to be darker, not lighter

[@RyansChannel0203]

Finally! Someone who actually sees this game for what it is! Revenge of the Flying Dutchman is by far the most underrated Spongebob game. I never really understood the absurd amount of hate Revenge of the Flying Dutchman gets. It was an excellent first attempt at a 3D Spongebob platforming/collect-a-thon that fully embodied the spirit of the show while still having its own identity. I love how open all the levels in Bikini Bottom are, the platforming and controls are pretty solid, the different costumes are always fun to use, and BFBB probably wouldn't have been as good as it was had Big Sky not dip their toe in first. Big Sky definitely deserves more credit for that, even though they aren't around anymore. It's also league's above their Jimmy Neutron movie game. I really hope THQ makes a potential Rehydrated version of Revenge of the Flying Dutchman in the near future, because it deserves more love.

[@Berserkerenergy]

I Completely agree with you💯

[@heiselproductions_01]

My theory as to why “Frenchy” the narrator, isn’t voiced by Tom Kenny, is due to the fact that, since the narrator does mention button presses, which obviously differ between GameCube and PS2, and with the game being worked on up to the 11th hour, they decided to have someone who had a more clear schedule do the lines, if mechanics changed

[@ultrairrelevantnobody1862]

I remember seeing a trailer of this game on both my Spongebob Halloween DVD and Rugrats Royal Ransom. Good ol' nostalgia.

[@MutantGrandpa]

I loved this game as a kid I never seen battle for bikini bottom on the shelves but saw this game and play the crap out of it! I afew years ago I found it at a video game store and %100 the game and I still had a blast I love this game so much a lot of people give this game a bad rap but it’s so charming to me I would love to play it again!

[@themasterofgaming4149]

20:30 Yay my most anticipated video from your channel. Data Design Interactive is an anomaly of a game developer they reskin the same game on the wii.

[@thegameshowgame9107]

Love your channel! Seen all your videos a dozen times. It’s the best part of Sunday!

[@weirdproq]

I've just found out about your channel and have been watching and enjoying some of your videos so far. I'm glad you were reviewing all the CN games and are now reviewing the Nick ones. Keep up the good work.

[@jetforcejuno7166]

I had no idea this game had such an interesting history behind it. While the horrendous loading times of the PS2 version forever soured my memories of it, I must say this game's writing is definitely on point and easily up there with the best of classic era Spongebob. Still this game is just way too janky to go back to especially after playing the vastly superior Battle for Bikini Bottom.

[@cnrprodux]

1:06 SOME FALSEBACKING: Vicarious Visions developed LEGEND of the LOST SPATULA, not SUPERSPONGE! Besides, LotLS released before SS, but whatever.

[@CartoonReview]

Yep, definite brain fart from me there. You can even tell I inserted the wrong SpongeBob game because I called SuperSponge the first SpongeBob game to be made lmao

[@ultrairrelevantnobody1862]

It feels rather strange rewatching this video after having now watched Shadow Streak's videos on Revenge of the Flying Dutchman. He says the handheld version is superior, and you say the complete opposite. I'll eventually give the console version a play someday, since it does look really fun despite it's flaws.

[@WhoNeedsNormal]

As far as the blacklisting goes, I can only repeat what I was told by multiple sources. It was never my intention to imply there was a "magic blacklist." That's stupid. What I will say is Lapin had pull and likely went around telling companies(likely companies that he knew had plans to work with them) to abort and not give them the time of day. "Blacklisting" is a real thing regardless. How one goes about said blacklisting just isn't what one would picture when you hear the phrase.

[@jackkrick6936]

Revenge Of The Flying Dutchman is an underrated gem of a game. This review was a breath of fresh air.

[@chris08091]

best small channel on youtube and it isnt close

[@ShadowWizard224]

There was something about this game that really intrigued me as a kid. I played it just as much as battle for bikini bottom and the movie game. It just feels different than any other game. Almost like everything is in a dream like state and there’s also a sense of loneliness if that makes any sense. But I absolutely loved it. My favorite part was delivering orders for Mr. Crabs. I took those tasks so seriously and always did my best to make sure all the orders arrived on time 😂😂😂😂 such nostalgia

[@thelegendaryzonaiwarrior6400]

It still hurts me to think that PhantomStrider still put this game in the worst section of his Top 10 Best and Worst SpongeBob Games list. I respect Strider and I do love his videos but when he put this underrated gem of a game in the worst category it just hurt for a little. Especially considering it was right after he put Employee of the Month in the best category. I actually praised him for that because Employee of the Month is another game that really deserves some recognition. And this game deserves that recognition too. And I know everyone has their own opinions but you can see why Strider’s opinion on this game is hard to accept at least for me. Now I’m not going to say you shouldn’t check out his videos because you should. I’m just saying that maybe PhantomStrider should consider giving this game a second chance. You get what I’m saying?

[@Berserkerenergy]

IMO This is the Darkest Spongebob Game.

[@kevinperine8800]

This was the very first game I had for the PS2. I didn't play it too much though.

[@randomreviews4278]

oh boy revenge of Flying Dutchman one of my favorite spongebob games back in day

[@RacerC45]

Got on those rose-tinted glasses, huh?

[@RyansChannel0203]

@RacerC45 Aside from BFBB, the movie game, and Lights Camera Pants, what other Spongebob games would you argue were better back in the day? Lol

[@Spacething7474]

20:34 What's the track that's playing here?

[@CartoonReview]

It's the Rock Bottom level theme from the GBA version of Revenge of the Flying Dutchman

[@adammiranda357]

Do you think that if BigSky Interactive didn't shut down, Battle for Bikini Bottom would still be made by the original THQ or would they make another game?

[@RyansChannel0203]

I like Goo Lagoon in Revenge if the Flying Dutchman. :(

[@gus051]

Wow you deserve more views

[@kingtrophyguide4362]

There's more Nickelodeon Games like Blue's Clues ON Gameboy Color!

[@agaynor7700]

Man i am having italian ice and I'm having a T R O P I C A L F E E L I N G

[@atasker7432]

I have Revenge of the Flying Dutchman on the PS2 & I NEVER came across any "loading glitch".

[@CartoonReview]

If you had any early model PS2 the glitch wasn't present. The trick that Blue Sky used to make sure their load times were acceptable for Sony only caused issues on later models as well as the PS3.

[@JasontheCartoonFan]

I guess it took longer than usual to make this particular installment, which is why you didn’t upload anything LAST Sunday.

[@RacerC45]

You haven't seen other youtubers videos on Revenge of the Flying Dutchman.

[@nitrosherbert888]

Speak now.Start Don't feel bad for not uploading constantly despite what the other room tells you to what I don't remember a lot of these I mean Hey kid do everyone for 100 subscribers I truly was no time to film the movie so I decided design develop it's I have a complicated relationship with

[@kingtrophyguide4362]

Can't wait till you review the NEW video game on Playstation 4 "Paw Patrol Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay".

[@shyguy85]

uhhh you know mr krabs nose IS brown, right?

[@CartoonReview]

That's cool. His nose is clearly orange in this game though.

[@superwhatbrosdes5064]

Mr Krabs nose is supposed to be brown

[@Ryo]

Even though bfbb is much better this game I still thought was good af at the time

[@koichidignitythief7429]

The GBA game allows you to tackle the stages in whatever order you want, thought the Krusty Krab levels that you seem to have started out with are the meant to be the most difficult to navigate, even though you can still beat them without needing to do the other stages. In my 20 year experience with the game, the difficulty by stages go from Patrick to Sandy to Mr Krabs. As for the story, it's still the same stakes since at the end of the game the Dutchman takes Squidard, Patrick, Sandy, and Mr Krabs away for the same reason as the console version; making it more a twist than anything. And again a criticism that kinda pisses me off for any game is when people say they should have everything at the start. I think doing that makes a game boring and takes away any level of progression you get from playing the goddamn game. Going back to the Mario example you used. Mario games usually determine which powers you can have in each level by ? Blocks that have specific power ups; even then the only variety would be stockpiling power ups in the hub that you grind for. And again with the back tracking or have to hunt for items to continue, Mario 64 has you replay the same level multiple times to get stars but here you just have to play the level once to get three keys to beat it.

[@PeterSkaOi]

The GameCube Version was better than the ps2 sadly
