I think Sensory Sweep were definitely in touch with Pocketeers since the DS version of MW has the same music, blacklist and car list as the GBA version, it even has nearly the same 10 tracks with the same titles as the GBA port and 5-1-0.
Having spoken to devs from both 5-1-0 and GBA, i think these were directions and resources provided by EA. Neither studio was in contact with Sensory Sweep
I am ashamed to say I played the hell out of this on DS back in the day. Even recommended it to friends. I am no longer friends with most of those people at their request.
Sad to say I 100% the DS version YEARS before I ever 100% on PS2. Really interesting story about how this came to be, as well as all the legal & shady shit happening. Great vid, Kac! 💜
I liked the part when the main character said "it's speedin time" and he speeded all over Razor, truly one of the racing video games on the DS #SensorySweep
I must regret to admit that I not only completed the game in it's entirety more than 13 years ago but I replayed so many of the races with maxed out cars that the credit count actually includes letters because it's so high. I didn't really mind it as a kid
Man, I had this game as a kid. So glad flash carts were a thing back then, I can't imagine how sad I'd have been wasting a Christmas/birthday gift on this 😂
I actually played througth that game. TWICE. In my defence, the DS was for the longest time of my childhood the only peace of electronic, where i could reliably play games. (Mostly Pokemon Mario Games and other racing games), since my old computer, where i played other racing games (mostly NFSU2 and Juiced), simply broke and i needed to wait 6 years, until i got a new one. so the best pivit was my ds.
The thing I don't get is, if EA knew how bad this port and studio would be, why didn't they just reskin Underground 2's DS port and make a game from that? That would've so much better
The worst thing is: Most Wanted DS was my first DS game... I could have everything: Nintendogs, other NFS DS games (seriously, Carbon Own the City is Goat actually), Mario Kart, Bros., Party, ... But my parents like: Let's give him Most Wanted DS
In 2007 or so my DS lite and a copy of this game (along with 3 other games) was stolen from me as a kid… looks like that actually worked out for the best lol. Didn’t realize how bad it was, I only played it a few times. I would’ve put in more time out of lack of options as I didn’t get games often, but I never got the chance bc of this. Parents ended up getting reimbursed from the guys employer as they were working on our house when he did it. Got a psp and a bunch of games in the end
I love your videos! It's nice to see someone talking about underappreciated (sometimes for good reasons) games. I'd love to listen to you talk about ridge racer unbound, lots of people use that game as a punching bag but I find it to be a pretty interesting game, mostly because it's made by the flatout people
I love the Ridge Racer series. Unbounded is not a Ridge Racer game, iirc Bugbear was working on it before Namco came knocking and slapped the Ridge Racer name on it. Before though, it would have been a rather mediocre game, it's not amazingly good, but it's competent. I enjoy it myself, but god damn it having the RR name hurts. I do agree though, by Kacey talking about it would be interesting at least!
I remember as a kid, getting this on release for $80 - I actually only pulled it out the other day on my DS and I've still got my 100% complete game save on there. What a mess of a game.

In the battle of bad games, NFS:MW is WAY better than Flatout 3. Here are some reasons why. 1: MW wont crash when you boot the game 2: MW wont randomly crash while you play the game (I think) That's all I can think of.
I know I'm in the minority for this, but I loved the port. I likened it to a cross of the old Hot Pusuit graphics with the gameplay of Most Wanted and must have finished it 3 or 4 times. I still have my copy in storage, waiting patiently for another playthrough.
I remember i asked a Senior of Sensory Sweep LLC, whom i will not name to ask them about what happened to them and they said that time management was a big problem because they had quite the DS-Experienced team, but he said that the problem is that the Designers don't know how a Racing game should look or feel like, especially on the DS, and that they tried Pocketeers' NDS Underground 2 but still couldn't understand how to make a good game like it, and ended up wasting a lot of time building a game engine and wasted too much time thinking that they decided to rush to meet deadlines
I’m very proud to an actual copy of this very game. After playing the original on my PlayStation 2 when I was little, I wanted the same for my DS. I was very, very disappointed. I still have it, in a random blue plastic 3DS case. You know those? With the four game slots?
I can just imagine little Timmy being all excited, that the new NFS game released, and while he only has a DS he still has the ability to play it because EA are just so nice and want everyone to enjoy it. And then he loads the game and is greeted by this:
"Wouldn't it be easier to slap some new assets on this, rather than hire an unqualified unknown studio to make....this?" [[ Rockstar Games and Grove Street Studios enter the chat ]]
I've personaly completed this game around 10 years ago, when I was about 5-7 years old, unfortunatly, I deleted the save file and i'm unable to complete it now, but yes, this game is really hard
Man, actually living in Utah makes this story much more interesting imo. and as an exmormon, learning about Hal being a part of the church does not surprise me at all
Love your videos!! Keep up the good work 🙌🏻. I would like to know what do think about Ridge Racer Unbounded.. That game was so weird lol. Thanks for the sacrifice
Great video, I love hearing about stories like this. A more pressing question, though: what Windows theme is that in the final screenshot? It makes me nostalgic for Windows 7
it's windows vista, the operating system made before 7 and after xp. was notorious for being incredibly buggy and unstable and not much people actually used it
@@foxymoron7337 I know it's based on that era, but I suspected from the taskbar that it's a Windows 10 custom theme which mimics elements of Vista and 7. Was just curious which one
That NFSHP2 ost outro got me putting on my rose tinted glasses and soaking in nostalgia. Unpopular take: GameCubes barrel bombs are way more fun than PS2s missiles. And the boaty handling encourages you to attempt turning every track section into a high stakes straight line.
I remember buying it due to my love to the series. My hopes were high and shatered immediately. I remember finishing the game but only because my parents will not let me buy a new game, so I was stuck for a while with it. I lost the cartridge but still own the case with booklets and everything. In the end, ds was a pokemon machine for me and Im sure it was for many as well 😅
I still remember when I got this one as a kid alongside my DS, good times hahaha I do remember getting stuck on some parts but I somehow managed to finish it back then, I don't think I could touch the game these days.
My first GBA game was NFS MW and for a long time my only cartridge on that system. I spend hours of my teenage years playing that game. Makes want to unleash my DS to play it again.
Before the DS came out I had a bad ass promo booklet that showcased the device but there was some false advertising. One of the upcoming games was nfs underground 2, with a screenshot of the actual console game. I thought it would be and direct port and I can't describe my excitement at the time.
I actually owned this port lmao. This video's soundtrack brings back so many mediocre memories! I did finish this game too. And you got that right: if you've played 1 hour, you've played the whole game. Endgame was non-existent. Now knowing the whole story, it all makes a whole lot more sense.
When you mentioned spike strips. The console counterpart did capture the behavior of spike strips. While the DS conversion these things are overpowered. From high speeds to stand still. It'll get you very effectively. Instantly busted you. Guaranteed And WTF moment.
I remember buying most wanted DS and Ridge Racer DS when a store in the mall was going out of business. Got on the metro bus. Put it in played it. Got off the bus. Went back into the store, tried to return it. Was told NO 🤣🤣🤣 Sat through it. Being young and would play any racing game had me questioning the car models and sounds more than anything.
I had this game on my DS back in the day, I honestly didn't think it was that bad, it was really watered down and controls kind of hard but that's more or less expected on a handheld.
I hate Sensory Sweep. Mostly because of Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi: the Genie and the Amp. But it’s nice to know they never really hit the mark with any of their games. I prefer Most Wanted 2012 to 05, but even I can’t get any enjoyment out of this.
i remember buying the DS port back in 2007 or 2008, and constantly getting a headache from it. The blurry visuals and suchlike just didn't sit right with me.
I remember having this game as a Kid, for whatever reason, I liked it along the lines of other racing games like Asphalt Urban GT or GRID, and I do remember the stupid little Boss Wraps that you could get by getting your heat level to MAX, that and I had to do everything to 100% it because, yknow... 11 year old me, didn't know any better...
UH. ON THE CATION SHIELD THING. You _might_ want to contact the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC), who have an entire team dedicated to "negative ion" products, because 98% of the time, those products are just poorly secured containers filled with *thorium,* and for various reasons, the USNRC generally considers uncontrollably contaminating an area with radioactive material to be... perhaps not the best idea!
I did complete this game too. I was like, 7 when i got it. Revisited it a few months ago when i found it in a drawer. Stopped after two races, wondering how i actually managed to beat this as a child.
Oh yeah, I remember 100 percenting this. Yeah, it was very bad. The only fun thing was the fact that you could choose to make a clone of your car for the bosses.
I’m glad others felt the same, I had the DS and got this cheap at a second hand store but the whole thing.. I remember hating it, janky janky controls, nothing like the console version story, the whole DS port of most wanted was a mess
Funny that this was the version that I got introduced to Most Wanted, after getting the PS2 version, the NDS version was sent to the shadow realm due to its quality, it looked like crap.
The reason for handing it to Sensory Sweep makes no sense. Even if Pocketeers took longer and Underground was delayed, the hard work was already done. It was just a matter of adding new tracks and cops to the engine made by Pocketeers.

I hate Sensory Sweep. Mostly because of Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi: the Genie and the Amp. But it’s nice to know they never really hit the mark with any of their games.
I prefer Most Wanted 2012 to 05, but even I can’t get any enjoyment out of this.
i remember buying the DS port back in 2007 or 2008, and constantly getting a headache from it. The blurry visuals and suchlike just didn't sit right with me.
I genuinely played the game, as back in the day nobody was watching reviews.. Damn.. I now understand why I sold my DS
that timer using half the screen was actually helping us
I remember having this game as a Kid, for whatever reason, I liked it along the lines of other racing games like Asphalt Urban GT or GRID, and I do remember the stupid little Boss Wraps that you could get by getting your heat level to MAX, that and I had to do everything to 100% it because, yknow... 11 year old me, didn't know any better...
That NFSMW DS version looks like something i could've Made in blender
"I am stupid and also dumb" I relate to that so much lol
UH. ON THE CATION SHIELD THING. You _might_ want to contact the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC), who have an entire team dedicated to "negative ion" products, because 98% of the time, those products are just poorly secured containers filled with *thorium,* and for various reasons, the USNRC generally considers uncontrollably contaminating an area with radioactive material to be... perhaps not the best idea!
the fov is what makes it feel very slow. try it in any modern game, lower fov slows the sense of speed
My dad found this game at his work. He gave it to me when I had a ds lite. I didn’t know what it was 😅 it was fun for me. I know it’s bad but memories
Can't believe that dummy kid me finished this game. I remember vaguely that my car list broke at some point and couldn't access them anymore.
woah...how did I finish this and actually enjoy it back in the day?
I did complete this game too. I was like, 7 when i got it. Revisited it a few months ago when i found it in a drawer. Stopped after two races, wondering how i actually managed to beat this as a child.
Oh yeah, I remember 100 percenting this. Yeah, it was very bad. The only fun thing was the fact that you could choose to make a clone of your car for the bosses.
Try SRS handling with the RX7 its like driving on ice, the drug and the frozen water at the same time.
WE don't talk about Street Racing Syndicate...
maybe YOU don’t…
@@Kaceydotme Ladies weren't all that sexy back then, let me tell you, not at all A SELLING feature.
I’m glad others felt the same, I had the DS and got this cheap at a second hand store but the whole thing.. I remember hating it, janky janky controls, nothing like the console version story, the whole DS port of most wanted was a mess
Had this when I was younger. Along side the ps2 and the psp version. It was pretty fun at the time but plagued with save data issues.
Funny that this was the version that I got introduced to Most Wanted, after getting the PS2 version, the NDS version was sent to the shadow realm due to its quality, it looked like crap.
"This seems very dull"
"Yes"
🤣
The reason for handing it to Sensory Sweep makes no sense.
Even if Pocketeers took longer and Underground was delayed, the hard work was already done.
It was just a matter of adding new tracks and cops to the engine made by Pocketeers.
Having played this just last week I just wanna say it's even worse to actually play than it is to just look at and that's just sad
