[@jrod3014]

They actually didn’t give their wwe wrestling rights to EA they gave it to 2k in 2014 and gave their ufc game rights to EA

[@murry789]

Yeh 2k make crap wwe games and EA make crap ufc games

[@HonorProWrestling]

@Badass Batman I like how fast paced ufc 2 felt. It was really fun doing crazy moves and the ragdolls were amazing lol.

[@Moneybluelikecorbin]

And 2K

[@Frostyz-LF]

Yes do you want to play WWE 2k20 it's $59.99? Ok cool sounds fun. Do you want to start a match? Sure that's the whole point. Ok to choose a character pay $5.99 What ok I'm not playing this piece of shit! To leave the game pay $35.99. Ok I'll just turn off my console. To turn off console pay $33 Ok I'll pay. To pay you must pay $45.99 Yeah EA would be amazing

[@tcgamingtimes999]

Of all companies, THQ definitely made some pretty competent and awesome licensed games

[@emperorducky4951]

Oh god I loved THQ they cared about their games instead of making their games cash grabs

[@privateinformation2007]

They did make some cash grabs, but even the cash grabs were fun in some way.

5:18 THQ didn’t hand over the license for wrestling games to EA, they handed it over to 2K.

Which is better because people forgot how awful EA game's

I had the Rattatouie game as a kid and I had a nostalgic seizure when you talked about it. Anyone who was a child (4-7) between 2003-2012 will remember those amazing games! I was lucky to be a kid in those years.

[@aarnethn]

WWE SVR and All Stars, UFC Undisputed, Destroy All Humans, Spongebob games. Damn THQ were a freaking legend. 🔥 The gaming industry has never been the same after THQ was gone.😔 But at least THQ Nordic are doing good now.

[@kolonarulez5222]

Should've stuck to that kiddie game shovelware. Still I'm glad they're making a comeback

[@tchitchouan]

THQ made their brand on movie tie-ins so by early '10s when these kind of games started losing steam to big budget AAA games THQ went under

[@mcharactercasting7283]

I found out about THQ through WWE games

[@Blaarg9000]

I remember playing a THQ Spongebob game for the Nintendo DS. It actually was very good.

[@hugehiphophead]

THQ first got into wrestling with WCW not WWF. They sold UFC to EA which isnt wrestling but MMA. WWE went to 2K.

[@isaiah1515]

thank you nordic for saving thq. thq is my childhood

[@Paddy-if3nd]

I hope they release the Nickelodeon games as a collection instead of individually.....

[@FlaqkoGTA]

Yeah like trilogy's

[@privateinformation2007]

I'm hoping for Tak Trilogy and a Spongebob double pack.

[@jordanmahonytheblindworld8483]

Good thing you did the lightning round because in the games that you just listed for me the big one is Scooby Doo because I played Cyberchase as a game and I used to be hot and I have Asperger’s syndrome/autism along with being visually impaired so this game for me was like a drug I played it till morning tonight and I love this game is my favourite I love this

[@munxcorp]

No mention of the Games Workshop licenses? Warhammer 40K license was huge and those games sold millions.

[@Inspiration_Date]

Extra Credits talked about the license after THQ's collapse. GW took a gamble and it worked. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYC5o6CcjdSfh8k kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKW8ZH-qpMSfiJY

[@Trillmxtic]

WWF No Mercy, WCW vs NWO Worldtour, WWE Smackdown here comes the pain, Saints Row 1,2,3. THQ was amazing

[@whalegulch]

Crazy,they were such a good gaming company never would of thought they would not of made it . Good times on N64

[@troll1367]

What an excellent pfp

[@kingspencer2234]

I played so many THQ games on my GameCube and Gameboy Advance SP. Life was good. The spongebob games were amazing

[@natenbox64]

Thank god THQ Nordic exists.

[@Majorwindy]

Damn THQ did have a some really good IPs like Metro, Homeworld, Company of Heroes. A lot of quality stuff under their roof.

[@DubsBrown]

Wii udraw actually did well. The problem was they then ported udraw to Xbox 360 and PS3 which required the controllers to be independent (not just a Wiimote accessory) with built in Bluetooth and higher costs. This was a terrible decision because not only was it a more expensive peripheral, but the Xbox and PS3 audience was not into family friendly shovel ware games like the Wii so it was a sales disaster. They didn’t even develop new games for the HD systems, just deluxe versions of the old Wii udraw games. They should have just focused on the Wii games like udraw Pictionary which work really well with the tablet.

[@sonicfan9144]

3:12 4 Cars games? I thought THQ only made 3 Cars games. Did THQ also make Radiator Springs Adventures?

[@TheBournPL]

IDK why but I totally didn't get any notification about this vid. I stumbled upon it while whiping my subscription box

[@thoggerock]

2:57 I remember unlocking a cheat on wall e that would make you play a ratituole tune

[@ernestoyounes2946]

You made a 9 minute long video talking about THQ and not even a single mention or footage about one of their biggest game series which is the WWE games?? You've gotta be kidding me right?

[@HonorProWrestling]

Ikr

[@caoimhinsaunders8494]

Saints Row and WWE games were the best

[@sonicfan9144]

Tbh, I like the old THQ logo that's rectangle shaped more than the new THQ Nordic logo.

[@Vihara2]

Dawn of war 1+expansions are still my all time fave rts games, and the intro cinematic, still the best ever outside of diablo 2, i miss thq, they tried soo mamy things, but got no true mega franchises like battlefield or CoD, a real shame.

[@aiodensghost8645]

And yet four of my most favorite games where either made or just distributed by THQ. I'm talking about De Blob and its sequel De Blob 2, as well as Darksiders and its sequel Darksiders 2

[@Moneybluelikecorbin]

They need to purchase the wrestling games back because 2k doesn’t care about wwe games

Great video bro !

I forgot they made that nickelodeon crossover game! I loved that game as a kid! And the destroy all humans franchise (only got to play the 1st 2)

Yass, I suggested this topic and I was heard. Mom would be proud.

[@kiwifrilla]

THQ nordic is the biggest gaming company in Sweden worth almost 2 billion dollars. They made an investor return of just around 700% in less than 2 years. I think they are doing more than fine?

[@johnnywilson1382]

That’s crazy that LJN was the predecessor THQ back then.

[@sim_1]

Juiced 2 to Xbox 360 and PSP, those were the days

[@Paramount-px3to]

I guess that Disney’s license is mostly being handled by Warner Bros Games department. I mean they so far have released 2 games based on their films under the WB label.

[@thedinoph]

I love THQ but in wwe games so many lack of superstar and didnt finish the superstar, cant imagine watching wwe and some superstas are not included in the game. Just like Victoria wwe. And many more.

[@akaragdollsvids]

U didn't show WWE WWF why

I’m actually doing a series on my channel wedding videos of Scooby Doo and the cyber chase the levels and talk about her at the time like if you look at games today half of them are not accessible to someone that is blind or visually impaired and I find with Cyberchase Scooby Doo be wanting dated properly was they told you how to get across obstacles they told you what things were they told you like for example that if you’re in the level and you actually obtained a symbol that has Scooby’s dog tag honest that is a checkpoint so yes that’s what I’m doing on my channel the blind world
