While the majority of licensed games seem to be on mobile devices now, that wasn't always the case. From the '80s through the '00s, licensed games were commonly released on consoles and handheld platforms. Many of those games also happened to be based on animated series that were airing at the time of their release.
While the Saturday morning cartoon blocks of the '80s, '90s, and aughts are a thing of the past, and the majority of adult-oriented animated shows have moved to streaming, there are still plenty of video games based on them that some fans might not even know existed.
10 🧸 Woody Woodജpecker Racing
Based not on the original cartoon but instead on the 1998 revival se▨ries that aired on Fox Kids, Woody Woodpecker Racing launched for the PlayStation and Game Boy Color in 2000. A PC version laun♒ched a year later.
While it's a relatively 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:standard kart racer, it was harshly criticized due to unresponsive controls, making it much more difficult to enjoy. One interesting feature included in Woody Woodpecker Racing is that every character has an attack they can use again꧙st other drivers without having to pick up an item first. However, items can still be used against other dri﷽vers as well.
9 🌊 🦩 Code Lyoko: Quest For Infinity
Code Lyoko, the hybrid 2D and CG animated series from 2003 about a ཧgroup of kids protecting the world from an evil AI, had several video games based on it, the last of which being Code Lyoko: The Quest For Infinity, which launched for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, and Nintendo Wii in 2007.
Quest For Infinity is primarily based on the fourth season of the series and includes Aelita, Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi as playable characters who can be swapped out on the fly. The Wii version also utilized different 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:motion controls for ea♏ch character and their respective abilities.
8 ಌ Xiaolin Sho𝐆wdown
Based on the eponymous animated series, Xiaolin Showdown launched on PlayStation 2, Xbox, PlayStation Portable, and Nintendo DS in 2006. Xiaolin Showdown is both a beat 'em up and a fighting game and has players collecting Shen Gong Wu, the magical items from the series, and fighting against robots as the show's four main characters. Two playable villains can also be unlocked.
The titular showdowns of the show are represented by several mini-games rather than being the main fighting gameplay. Unfortunately, the game was critically panned, with many recommending 💟similar games of better quality instead.
7 Mucha Lucha: Mascaritas Of The Lost🅰 Cod🐠e
Mucha Lucha: Mascaritas Of The Lost Code, based on the Mucha Lucha animated series, is more of a beat 'em up than an actual wrestling game and launched for the Game Boy Advance in 2003. While the three main characters, Ricochet, Buena Girl, and The Flea, are all playable, Ricochet is the only playable character unlocked from the start. Since the game is only based on segments from the first four episodes of the show, although not in the same order, Mascaritas Of The Lost Code is a relatively brief experience, and no characters introduced later in the series make an appearance.
6 ꦉ G♎odzilla: The Series
While the 1999 Game Boy Color game Godzilla: The Series is far from the first Godzilla game, it is the first to be based on the Fox Kids animated series of the same name, which was based on the 1997 Roland Emmerich film. While Godzilla's forward movement is not controlled by the player, his attacks are.
There was also a sequel cal🅷led Godzilla: The Series - Monster Wars, which launched for the Game Boy Color the following year and made some minor gameplay improvements, including more accurate attacks and the ability to chain them together.
5 El Tigre: 👍The Adventures ♛Of Manny Rivera
El Tigre: The Adventures Of Manny Rivera, based on the Nicktoon of the same𓃲 name, launched for PlayStation 2 and Nintendo DS in 2007. Still, despite releasing on the same day and having the same name, they are two separate🍃 games with different developers and publishers.
The PlayStation 2 game is a platformer that uses a 2.5D art style, while the Nintendo DS title is a beat 'em up with an art style that more closely resembles that seen in the show. Although El Tigre isn't as popular as other past Nicktoons, maybe Manny Rivera will appear in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl in the future.
4 Futurama
Despite several cancellations and revivals — unlike fellow Matt Groening creation The Simpsons — Futurama only ever had one console game, which launched for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox in 2003. Also titled Futuram🍨a, the game features tꦅhe planet express crew, with Fry, Leela, Bender, and Zoidberg all playable, as they save the Earth from Mom, who has become the ruler of the world.
The game's cut scenes were later repackaged into Futurama: The Lost Adventure and featured on the DVD for The Beast With A Billion Backs movie as an extra episode of the show.
3 ✤ Cubix Robots For Everyone: Showdown
Cubix Robots For Everyone: Showdown is the third game based on the Cubix: Robots For Everyone animated series and launched for GameCube and PlayStation 2 in 2003. Cubix Robots For Everyone: Showdown is an 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:RPG with turn-based battles where different types of 🍒attacks are selected by the player.
After attacking꧒, players have to press a button at the right time while targeting the opposing robot to ensure that their robot lands the attack they chose. Each robot also has different strengths and weaknesses dep🐽ending on its type, and additional robots to use can be gained by defeating them in battle.
2 ཧ The Mummy: 🐼The Animated Series
Based on the animated series that itself was based on Universal's The Mummy film series, The Mummy: The Animated Series, also known as The Mummy and The Mummy: The Miracle Of Osiris, first launched on the Game Boy Advance in 2002, with PlayStation 2 and PC versions launching in 2004.
The gameplay differs between the two versions, with the Game Boy Advance version being a top-down adventure game while the later version is a 3D action-adventure game. As was common in the early aughts, the game's have little in common, with different developers and publishers, despite having the same title.
1 Jackie Chaꦍn Adventures
Jackie Chan Adventures is an action-adventure game based on the Demon Sorcerers arc of the show's second season launched exclusively for the PlayStation 2 in Europe in 2004. The game uses cel-shaded graphics to emulate the show's animation style. Most of the show's voice cast also reprised their respective roles for the game. A North American release was also planned but never came to fruition.
