Animaniacs reminds me of what happened with Mean Girls DS. From my experience with that lost media hunt, it probably didn't come out.

The best / worst concept for an Animal Crossing rip off is there was a Duck Dynasty game on 3DS that played like AC lmao

[@JelloFluoride]

@@RichardPlaysStuff WOW, never would have guessed that.

[@1998yugi]

It is a good game for the Ds, it doesn't hold up great today due to all the loading, but it did do abit more then ACWW, where you can fly to an Island to fish. There mystery missions to do to but you have a play often enough to get the effects. There hidden characters, like making everyone believe in a fairy and well you meet a fairy. It really good for a ds game considering how much they crammed onto it. I couldn't personally get into it due to the spells and everything cost tones and it took forever to build money unlike animal crossing. So its a hit and miss. In the UK the game worth £30

[@jasonblalock4429]

For real: If you ever get a chance to play Dokapon Kingdom (PS2/Wii) with four friends DO IT. At least, if you don't mind potentially losing them as friends. Dokapon Kingdom makes Mario Party look like tiddlywinks, in terms of being a potential friendship-killer. It's absolutely insane. I wasn't too impressed by the DS version, tho.

I absolutely love "Solatorobo: Red The Hunter", which I still have in my Nintendo DS library, and it is perhaps the only JRPG-style game ever made in which the characters are anthropormorphic animals instead of humans, which is probably the reason why it remains one of my favorite games on the console, and I really wish other companies that work on RPGs like Square-Enix would design games with those kinds of characters as well! ^^

[@TheGoodWario]

"WE'RE HAVING A SALE!" Dokapon goes for about 24 hours in regular story mode. The Runaway Guys did a LP of the Wii game and it went on for 144 episodes (weeks) just to complete the story mode. They filmed it in several sessions.

[@RealBlueony]

"WE'RE HAVING A ROBBERY SALE! EVERYTHING'S FREE! IF YOU'RE GOOD AT ROSHAMBO!"

[@tylerlarsen1842]

The Dokapon games can be summed up like this: they will KILL any good relationships you have if you bring friends along if you take them seriously. According to many, they are actually worse in that regard than the Mario Party games, and Mario Party is NOTORIOUS for killing friendships en mass.

I believe the NTSC version of Animaniacs was cancelled due to the Bad press in Europe. I mean think about it. There's no real point in shelling the game out if it got slammed hard in another region. Yeah they could sell it on shelves but at the same time printing those copies would be expensive. And consumers who buy the game wouldn't be paying that much to even cover 1/4 of the printing cost. To the company it was essentially a failed project so they decided to simply stop production, call up any store or even any Warehouses they had that kept the copies and told them to return everything. Happened a few times with other games so who's to say it didn't happen here? There's been some games that got made over in Japan that got panned by critics which HAD an English translation and all but because of the low scores and failure over in that region, the translation and shipping was scrapped making the game or even series a Japan or European exclusive.

My guess is that NTSC Animaniacs DS is the Honus Wagner Card of video games - it was released, or at least manufactured, but recalled so fast or even before official launch that only a few copies of it slipped through. If it was recalled before release, there is a chance that some store somewhere didn't send back its shipment and kept it or sold it. Had the recall been post release, then for sure at least a few copies exist somewhere.

After a good amount of research, I thoroughly believe that the Animaniacs: Lights, Camera, Action video game was canceled for a release in America. So, let's see how I did. First, I had to find out the main differences between PAL packaging and NA packaging. That resulted in a difference in ratings (PAL had a Pegi rating, while NA had the ESRB). I conducted a search from there, following Nintendrew's steps along the way. First, I looked on third-party selling sites such as eBay to start. There, I found that most, if not all of the copies that were being sold were PAL copies. This resulted in a dead end as Nintendrew had mentioned. Next, I decided to continue my search on first-party sites such as Amazon and Gamestop. There, I noticed that both were selling different cover arts for the game. The main difference between the two is the logos, where the PAL version has Warner Bros, Nintendo, etc, the NA version only has the logo of the publisher, Ignition Entertainment. While Amazon was selling games with the PAL cover, I saw that Gamestop was selling what can be assumed as the NA cover art. Finally, I looked on Nintendo's website and the ESRB to confirm some loose ends. On ESRB's website, I found that there was an actual rating for the NA title, but not much else. When I looked on Nintendo's website, I believe that I found what I believe to be some sort of divider between released and unreleased. There, I found out that the cover art for the game matched the one that I found on Gamestop, but also that there seem to be either a lack of production of the game or just a flat out cancellation of the release. When looking at release titles for the Nintendo DS, I was able to find the game, but no way to buy a physical copy. I thought of this a confirming point but soon found out that other games also had this lack of physical copies. This story, of course, has many twists and turns after all, with some collectors on Reddit explaining how a NA copy of Animaniacs: Lights, Camera, Action is actually real, but didn't find enough physical evidence to base my conclusion on it. Therefore, I think that due to a dwindling fanbase and a horrid review score, Animaniacs: Lights, Camera, Action was canceled before release. Thank you for reading, and I hope this satiates for those who were wondering about what happened.

Kenneth, I'm sorry buddy that's rough I got the game myself in the UK and to tell the truth I did enjoy it not so much because it's a good game (it isn't) but because it reminds me of those hella awkward liscenced ISOmetric PC games from the late 90's and early 2000's.

[@paigey-poo4235]

I’m obsessed with the “welcome to the town you now own a farm good luck” genre, Rune Factory was my gateway drug and while I have yet to actually obtain games 2-4 I religiously watch every video about them on KZbin and one day I’ll buy them all and waste my life, along with harvest moon and every other similar game I can get my hands on. I even got inspired to plant a vegetable garden at my house. You ever get so addicted to a video game you start being productive in real life? Yeah. Too bad I’ll probably never get my hands on the one in this video.

Actually there is another rare DS game that is so rare, only 2 people have it. One of them dumped the rom online so that we can play it. It was a Japanese McDonald's Training Game for new employees known as McDonald's eCDP. What made it difficult to play it even if you have the cartridge is that there is a login input you have to enter in to access the training minigames. Here is a link to a video explaining all this kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5aZqYJ4eKaJrKM

Iirc from other videos I have seen,what particulary bumps solatorobo´s us price up aswell is that it comes with the bonus mission pre installed-or at least something along those lines,you can´t get these bonus missions anyomre otherwise. I live in the eu,germany to be precise,and while the game is hard to find here too,I got it at gamestop for 10€,which was also the first time I even saw the game on any shelf since it´s initial release,I had been aware of the game for years,i just couldn´t find it. One fun time though:finding european copies of the world ends with you,especially in countries wasn´t actually sold in,this results in it being practically impossible to find the game anywhere below 45€.

Drew, I've put together a small collection of DS games that were important to me during my childhood. I'm not out to collect every single game in existence, but rather 10 or 15 games for each console that I've collected, and there's something I've gotta ask you. Do you have Kirby Super Star Ultra for the Nintendo DS? I have a cartridge of it and ten more empty DS boxes, but I have not found even one full scan of the cover art. Maybe you could scan it in for me and a few others...? Best regards, Drop/Brandon

[@Freezair]

I've been waiting for this one! In part because I own games I knew would be on this list. It's my understanding that Shepard's Crossing 2 is so rare because it was only available to purchase directly from its US publisher's website, said publisher being Graffiti Entertainment. I bought a loose cart for 100 bucks, and it's the most I've ever spent on a single game purchase at once. I genuinely enjoy it, though--I like that it's a little bit harsh, both in difficulty and tone. I bought a copy of Magician's Quest when it was new (the day it came out, in fact), and I'm REALLY glad I did. I actually liked it better that Wild World; I loved its fantasy theme, its music, and the spell system letting me feel like I had more control over the world (like choosing the weather). Every so often I'll see this discussion: "Are there any games like Animal Crossing out there?" And I hate then whenever I bring this up, it's with the caveat that it's really expensive to purchase. It's my understanding that the sequels moved away from the AC formula, but they only released in Japan. You know what game I'm surprised isn't here? Avalon Code. I had a devil of a time hunting down a copy, and they were all pricey.

[@Akechi_The_Phantom_Detective]

You're almost spot-on about Shepherds Crossing 2 there my friend. I'm not entirely certain why but Graffiti decided to release the game exclusively via Amazon which was a large contributing factor to it's rarity, they certainly aren't the only company to have done this but by the time most gamers found out about the game (an incredibly difficult thing to do as most gaming publications had no knowledge of the release date) the game had sold out. I don't believe it was ever given a second run. Avalon Code is also a really funny one because when it launched in the UK it was very rare than at some point a number of copies were distributed in a short time period... and then the game became hard to find again. So I'm not sure what happened there. The game is expensive but I'm not certain it's as rare as some other games on the system like Black Sigil, Dark Spire or other games like it.

[@Freezair]

Heh! Thanks for the correction. It does seem like Avalon Code's price fluctuates a little bit, and it definitely needs to be a complete boxed copy to command prices like those seen in this video. It's already on the pricier end, though, and if it's not top 5, I wouldn't be surprised if it's top 10.

I watched this then went rummaging through my DS games. I have two, Solatorobo and Magicians Quest. Then I had to dig in separate boxes for the cases...whew, I do have them! I keep them separate so if someone lifts the case they won't get the game. That's happened to me. Solatorobo has a Soundtrack that came with it. So I fired up Magicians Quest to remind myself. The first music that played from my save file was Schubert's Ständchen that I play on the piano. Awesome! Great video😊
