The Drake & Josh Video Games Are WEIRD!

Drake & Josh is a classic Nickelodeon sitcom and I hold a lot of nostalgia for the series in general... but what about the Drake & Josh video games? Not so much. Today, let's take a look about both Drake & Josh for the Game Boy Advance and Drake & Josh Talent Showdown on the Nintendo DS to find out if turning a sitcom into a video game truly made sense.

Thanks so much for watching! Have you played either of these Drake & Josh video games?

[@deontavares]

I didn't even know they existed, but you got me curious, let me see this video.

[@ZBatt1]

Fuck no

[@GalvinOliver]

Please do a video on Angelo rules an old cartoon network show

[@Bobbytries]

Nope! But you bringing up the Zelda comparison made me think about how A2M probably reused old assets from their (Pretty good!) Monster House game a few years back. It's basically a GBA Zelda game with Water guns and switchable characters instead of swords. It's nothing too fancy, but I thought it would be something you'd be interested in giving a look given Halloween is coming up.

[@tylerdenaro3365]

I've played the Gba version of Drake and Josh because it's so much fun

[@OneWingedDemonSlayer]

I bet Josh peck has copies of these games with perfect grades next to his Oppenheimer roll

[@JordanFringe94]

Wait a minute... who are you?

[@Tw0Dots]

very nice of u to comment on a channel thats like way bigger than u 🙏🫡

[@Goggleman7]

I love you.... BYE!

[@OddOneOut665]

Smoked a good Blunt tonight, I assume? XDXD

[@redtygr14]

Underrated comment

[@Ratciclefan]

There's two of them now!

[@JP-vr3rg]

That ad break was sick dude!

[@ajx2956]

I didn’t even know there were Drake & Josh games lol

[@maxordman4100]

Drake and Josh was such a wonderful part of my teen years. It’s fun to look back at it for nostalgia. I’m not sure these are the most fantastic games but they’re certainly enjoyable. I’m a huge fan of your regular channel and I’m glad to be able to check out this channel now too. I just subscribed!

[@linkthehero8431]

"Josh has stage fright but Drake convinces him to get onstage anyway" reminded me of the Shyren fight in Undertale. You could, in that fight, just do one hum and spare her, but I find it more fulfilling to go through the whole concert (including where Sans starts selling tickets made out of toilet paper; typical Sans) to help her get over her stage fright so she can be the singer she always wanted to be.

[@Geno746]

There were quite a few Zelda clones on the GBA. My favorite is Monster House. Its a fun Halloween game and a fun hidden gem.

[@Digiflower5]

Ooh nice i like that movie.

[@xxxxWYLDSTALLYNSxxxx]

Monster House is one of the best licensed games on GBA along with TMNT.

[@thomasraines1396]

I remember playing that.

[@UltimateInkling]

Didnt even know monster had a game need to look into that one

[@goreweeb4566]

The avatars from the first game are going to haunt my nightmares

[@claymathewselevator8121]

Needs Crazy Steve bonus level

[@JamesLawner]

As someone who’s never watched the show or played these games, I say this is pretty accurate 😂 But honestly, the look of the GBA game looks cute (minus the floating heads).

[@thecastiel69]

I remember a very good Dreak & Josh flash game, in first level you have to clean room because GRAMY IS COMING. It's a very good two player game you have to clean the rooms by either putting everything in proper place or throwong it to each other's room. Don't know why in the game Dreak and Josh have their own separate rooms. Don't remember other levels. But they were different then the first one.

[@VioletElite4]

The games were just as weird as Drake turned out to be irl..

[@illizcit1]

Zing!! I was thinking the same lmao

[@Uzdefized]

Pretty sure the parents of that girl even said it was a setup and Drake is innocent not sure how right that is

[@IchNachtLiebe]

​@@UzdefizedYeah, like a lot of cases things are more complicated than they appear. Reading court documents and watching deep investigations into cases often lead to different pictures than MSM articles and superficial internet conversations. His case was odd and suspicious but not as conclusive and clear as what is often portrayed.

[@boredstudent]

Yeah I heard about him and what he did. I also learned that his full name is Jared Drake Bell

[@VioletElite4]

@@boredstudent lol if you're referring to ProJared, those turned out to he false allegations and he's been back on KZbin for a while now.

[@EvelineE-001]

That midroll at five minutes was well done. Appreciate the effort

[@ZBatt1]

Hey look at that, another Jordan Fringe Gaming youtube upload

[@dro6sy]

going through the adventure time games would be pretty cool

[@FriendlyChemist907]

I thought this was going to be another low effort lets play side channel. But, no theese videos are top notch. Look forward to binge watching the backlog

[@Joey-xi2nk]

Thank you for your hard work as always Jordan! Great video :)

[@TobiasLarsEriksson]

Your videos are so awesome man! Found your channel this summer and binged all ur videos. Most of the games I've never heard of but some of them still feels nostalgic to me cause I watched the show (like Fairly Odd Parents). Drake & Josh however is not nostalgic to me since I didn't watch it growing up, but still this video fills me with that special warmth that only nostalgia can thanks to your production and there's just something special about all your videos that make me feel that way. So cool to see a fairly new channel like yours blowing up really fast,. +50k subs in less than a year is REALLY crazy given all the algoritm BS on KZbin these days. You deserve it all man!

[@younesandyoucefyouyou193]

i liked the mouse indicator.really good touch

[@JordanFringeGaming]

Thanks, I thought so too!

[@asiriusworm]

Youve been killing it with the recent uploads. Thanks for spoiling us

[@TheBrez]

I had the GBA one. It was actually pretty cool. I wish I still had it.

[@joeyvancleve4552]

My man finally remembered his video game channel

[@dun0790]

In retrospect I'm surprised we never got a keenan and kel game? Maybe it was too early but thinking on we missed out on a fresh prince game lol 😅

[@Ewillum]

Man... I'm falling asleep just watching you play this 😂

[@collinkelly2420]

I found a new copy of Phil of the Future for GBA at Walmart a couple of years ago. They were still trying to sell it for $20

[@YakkoWarnerTower]

I literally didn't know Drake and Josh had games lol.

[@TheInkTank]

Was always curious about this game but never got a chance to play

[@robertfinnegan1829]

Lmfaooo dude, your one liners are top tier 👌 you make some damn DECENT content 😂

[@ssj2_snake]

I know you mentioned Zelda but I was gettin Goof Troop vibes, personally

[@blairmcauley2497]

Can’t wait for your drake and josh video Jordan drake and josh is my favorite Nickelodeon show

[@nattylight9494]

Aint no way these existed

[@_SYDGAMING_]

I like to believe the reason josh got cannonicly skinny in the show is from preforming all them puzzles in the gba game 😂

[@monkeydude6196]

If I was a kid and had these games, I would’ve thought these were the best games ever…but I’m not a kid, and these games look like…something, I’ll say that.😅 Great video Jordan! Thanks for suffering through these games for us, I salute you for your bravery and perseverance 🫡😄, keep being awesome, man!😄

[@brodooski]

Fringe gaming video on the guitar hero DS titles?

[@massiecure8422]

i miss this era!!!! i love silly games (very very loosely) in characters i recognized. i miss when a successful show/movie have like 4 console games. now we have one game if we’re lucky and it just have to be an AA game or the gamebros will get mad, gamerbros hate fun

[@face3408]

Josh really cleaned the *sheep* out of that school i tell ya h'what

[@RealTalkAlexV]

😭😭😭😭 good one, i chuckled slightly, only slightly tho 😅

[@face3408]

Haha good enough for me! 😂

[@maccamachine]

Hell yeah new gaming video awesome man! The drake and josh games were so strange but I remember playing one one gba it reminds me of the zack and cody games also I liked them as a kid but nowadays not so much

[@ballerinafromtheblock]

It may be because I grew up in this era and was the target audience- but I really loved games like this 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I remember having icarly too. And DYING to have the thats so raven game

[@aidinexmachina4232]

Drake & Josh was Nickleodeon's That 70s Show

[@6oldn]

the megan png at 2:43 is so cursed

[@GalvinOliver]

Please do a video on Angelo rules an old cartoon network show

[@1punkfuk]

I feel so called out. That DS Guitar Hero contraption gave me so much arthritis, but what else was a kid to do on long car rides and no music player!

[@TheReZisTLust]

Watch the invisible man parkour across the country side

[@PieCreeper12]

3:35 There is a security camera in the bathroom.

[@Audhdloverfffffff]

In the girls room. I like eggs

[@dylanthewolf5095]

Drake has to sneak around and try not to get caught ... you don't say😅😅

[@rosesosa8332]

I get a midwest vibe from you i dunno

[@JaketheMovieGeek]

There were Drake and Josh video games???

[@claymathewselevator8121]

Zoey 101, Hannah Montana and Wizards Of Waverly Place did too

[@claymathewselevator8121]

[@blaacksugar7714]

I like Drake's walking animation in the first game.

[@music911help]

Will you be playing Princess Peach Showtime???

[@prod.seabass5803]

Zack n cody games r similar to these, i miss the food fight one

[@dellstudio10]

Wait, aren’t you just a floating head too?

[@JordanFringeGaming]

That’s the joke

[@samnelson6509]

I had Suite Life of Zach and Cody on the Game Boy as a kid 💀

[@Firestar-TV]

😆 they should make a Drake and Judge Game, where Drake needs to try preventing to go to Jail

[@Joe_334]

Lol, That's So Raven had a gameboy advance game too.

[@drclaw411]

Low key they should have had it so when you booted these games up, it opened with some sort of cutscene of Drake and Josh turning on a Gamesphere and the perspective is these are the games being played on it lol

[@bottombarrelbudgetfilms1854]

What happened to the Jordan Fringe Discord server? :o

[@syferblade]

“boob” spelled out in a child’s game was wild to see at that time

[@wisconsinrebelhomes7587]

I wondered how Nickelodeon games were like or if they were good!

[@IIOver9000]

5 bucks is a big ask for the game youre getting, dont even look like them at all lmao

[@duko3000]

Ace Lightning please?

[@AamirAli-ow5pc]

4:58 a ad really pop up for me who else

[@Likeomgitznich]

That as told by ginger character art tho

[@dmdeester]

2:07 They were still making GBA games in 2007???

[@LucosPlays]

Yeah these were a thing...and yeah they're weird now you have to do the Cory in the house DS game 😏

[@JeiCos]

Ya know what's really funny here? In the DS game, the 2d cutouts on the bottom screen, the ones of both Drake AND Josh, look almost nothing like them. Like looking at them, I don't "see" either of them. Like if someone showed me them, I'd not be able to recognize them. However..The freakin Megan one? That is a 100% PERFECT image of Maranda Cosgrove. Like, holy crap it's uncanny how perfectly matching it is to her back then lol How'd they even DO that? The other 2 look nothing like them, but hers? Hers is spot on? That's weird....lol

[@DamoMartin]

please play the bolt move game the nintendo ds version

[@DigiRangerScott]

Yeah when’s the last time you saw a spherical video game

[@ATFADL]

Yup, these bad boys are definitely some of the tie-in games of all time.

[@joelhochhalter638]

There was a Drake and Josh gameboy game?? had no idea

[@gracekim25]

Yeah 😅 this show was probably on when I was too young to watch. Can’t wait to see how weird these games get 22.9.23

[@steaksoymilk3195]

Landfills full of these games .. i mean how did the creators think the game would be that big of a success ahah

[@joyless5729]

yooo i had the gameboy advanced game

[@stuartcaffrey2949]

What a weird concept to make a video game from

[@Seraph-Shadowlink747]

I'm sorry, is it just me or does the Drake and Josh gba game look like zelda minish cap? 8 MINS IN AND I KNEW IT!!!

[@luissopelana]

Those floating heads in the GBA game are ugly AF but the actual sprites are quite the opposite. The expressions on the concert stage are fun and a great caricature of those Bell and Peck did in the show.

[@fyrbornxtg5000]

Probably misery

[@founboy78]

*sigh* The 2000s, the decade where everything had to have a video game tie-in.

[@PricelessBinkey1337]

Ahhh a time when music was made for movies and games were made into a video game even when there's no point to it being made into a video game. Classic.

[@Gadoxplayer]

❤

[@eeveefennecfox]

I've always hated this show,I've been a cartoon lover since the 90's so it's no wonder I hated this show

[@wfanking1187]

Didn't know they had a video game. I personally didn't like Drake and Josh, Keanen and Kel was way funnier, however Drake and Josh felt forced try too hard to be funny and a white rip off of Keanen and Kel
