One of my favorite licensed video games has to be Over the Hedge. It's actually interesting because the story takes place after the movie- they all do (save for the GBA version). The Verminator and Gladys are back and end up trashing your stuff, so it's up to you to get it all back, and stop them. The combat is also kind of fun. There's something about just mindlessly mashing the attack button and plowing through hordes of enemies that makes my brain go brrr. The Bumper Carts mini game is a blast with a friend, too. So, if you're one of the many people who want an Over the Hedge sequel, the games may just have what you're looking for.

There's also "Spot: The Cool Adventure" which was released on the Game Boy which is another platformer that is apparently similar to McKids.

[@lucinae8512]

I know Blitz Games Studios through another licensed game they made that I grew up with: Action Man: Mission Xtreme. The gamer that I am now can tell this was probably made to be a Metal Gear clone. But it has a great OST that helped me appreciate video game soundtracks, the vehicles sections were short but fun, the secret base level is elaborately designed, and it made a character I only vaguely knew, a competent secret agent who actually likes doing his job and doesn't have to listen to extended death monologues by every villain he defeats!

[@davidmylchreest3306]

I remember an Amiga PD game where you played as Tony The Tiger from the Kellog's Frosties packets. Not sure it was an official licence, but it might have been an early adver-game. Also the spot from the side of the 7Up cans had an Amiga Othello game before Cool Spot came out.

One interesting aspect of One Piece Grand Adventure is that you can unlock a couple characters from the Skypeia arc, even though the 4kids anime dub was cancelled right before they could get to it (leading to the infamous and rather memeworthy ending of the Strawhats dying from getting a boat yeeted at them)

[@johndadatsis3632]

Extra info about Aragorn's Quest. I got the ps3 version of this pretty recently because of the nostalgia I had on the nintendo DS Lite. There is also a game for that platform as well. My immediate reaction was "why are they 2 different games?".

[@joshuareesor1756]

It's been over a decade since I last played Grand Adventure, but I can still hear the "It'll be a grand battle!" song from its mode select. And despite the quality of the dub, it was interesting hearing 4Kids cast for the Skypiea Arc characters, since they dropped the license right before reaching that saga.

[@LakituAl]

That confusion over a game based on a comic strip that ended a decade ago can also apply to Little Nemo Dream Master for NES.

[@Flash33c]

Important to note about One Piece: Grand Adventure (which I own and can confirm is fun) is that it includes content Grand Battle didn't/couldn't include due to the English version of OP being far behind Japan at the time, hence why Adventure is English only. Also while Battle, Adventure and Pirate's Carnival use the 4Kids VAs (which aren't as bad as many like to make it out to be) Unlimited Adventure on the Wii is the first (and at the time of this writing only) game to use the Funimation VAs. Also fun fact, the Grand Adventure box art is reused from the JP only game Fighting for One Piece (released a year earlier in 05).

The guy with the 3rd sword in his mouth was my first playthrough, and I believe I had to rent that game for a 2nd period of time to be satisfied, because it was pretty cool. Thanks for another incredible video Sir Austin, I appreciated the quick props of LotR: The Third Age as well.

Honestly think you are underestimating just how big Aardman Animations is in the UK. Chicken Run was huge here and a big childhood film for most of the late 20s to mid 30s crowd.

One Piece Grand Adventure also has a community mod to make the game more competitive and I'm not sure how active that community still is but I know there was a discord for finding matches over dolphin netplay! High level matches look sick as hell in that game.

Describing this game without knowing it's an edutainment game makes it sound like a fever dream.

Speaking of One Piece, the game I thought you would talk about is the obscure One Piece Wii game, One Piece: Unlimited Adventure. It's the first and only One Piece game to be dubbed by the Funimation crew, and it has two Japan-exclusive sequels.

Yeah, I really don't have much to add here because it's even worse than me forgetting the game- I straight up didn't know it existed. That being said- the game I throw into the ring here is also a GBC game- Blade II! You move Blade around in NYC, between different buildings, and you beat up vampires in it. Kinda slow side-scrolling licensed beat-em-up game with Blades swords, weapons, guns and bare hands... but it's pretty decent all in all, on par with that Spawn game. Also, Austin explaining Snoopy felt so WEIRD to me, like... I just sat there going "But it's Snoopy... everyone instinctively understands Snoopy, don't they?".

One of my favorite niche licensed games is “The Italian Job” for PS1. Licensed after the original 1969 movie. Game came out in 2002 in America. The Xbox and PS2 and GameCube got a version based on the 2003 movie with the mini coopers. The PS1 version takes place in the late 60s London like the original movie. It was a semi open world driving game akin to driver 1 and 2. Holds up well for a ps1 game but the controls are very unforgiving and the AI is hard at times
