Thanks so much for watching! Let me know your personal memories from the Nicktoons Unite games!
Renting them on Fridays with my brother and getting Subway or pizza while playing them. We used to say Jenny from My Life as a Teenage Robot should have been a character
The only game out of the four mentioned in the video I owned was the DS version of Attack of the Toybots. Had a blast playing that game with my cousin! Other than that I remember being at a birthday party and someone there was playing Volcano Island on the TV.
@@BluShroom20 Attack of the Toybots and Volcano Island is what we played the most!
I remember playing all of these as a kid and not knowing a lot of the different characters in “Attack of the Toybots”. I was even thinking about mentioning these with the last Nickelodeon game episode.
I remember watching this as a kid
Yet another series of Nickelodeon/THQ games I’d love to see remade. Imagine playing these with online multiplayer.
Ooo it’s perfect for it
@@gracekim25 this was the OG avengers of Nickelodeon
They could sell a 4 pack on steam. I remember BEGGING for a Multitap to we could all play this together
Not bright and colorful like cosmic shake
@@clydetheteenageboy2441 the nicktoon unite I agree, but the rest was.
Always love how in the first Timmy/Jimmy Power Hour for 90% of the special Jimmy has such a hard time believing the Fairies are real, then you have Nicktoon Unite where he pulls a Human Sized Sentient Yellow Sponge through a dimensional portal (later entering this tiny underwater world himself) and is like "This is fine and makes total sense."
Pretty sure it's canon that the game took place after that crossover. I do recall them referring back to that crossover
@@connorwood9211 that's what I'm saying, the first time it took him so long to accept it, then the second time under even more odd circumstances he doesn't even question the logic breaking.
@@-libertyprimev1-902maybe it’s because he’s experienced crazy things before he’s so nonchalant now 😂
Interesting story that nobody asked for:
My Boy Scout Troop used to have an annual indoor video game camp. Basically we just played video games all weekend and slept on the floor of a log cabin type place at night. Anyhoo, I am a quiet person who has some autism. I played Nicktoons Unite with another kid who was real quiet. We managed to beat the whole game in a few hours. We barely said a word to each other. This game taught me that I can still connect with people and work together even though I'm not great at verbal communication.
I’m surprised Aang was never playable in any of these games, not even as an optional character like Jenny or Rocko
Probably because he'd be too OP.
Maybe in another dimension
@@ryanbrown7489new game + character, easy- well maybe not for THQ but these games were already pretty impressive for what they were so it’s not that hard to imagine.
I think because of rights and stuff, since Danny Phantom and Fairly Odd Parents were made by the same person.
Also, Spongebob team never says no to a video game. Add in that Fairly Odd Parents already had in-show crossover with Jimmy Neutron, so maybe that was an obvious choice. And honestly, ATLA was probably just too new for this collab,
especially since Fairly Odd Parents and Danny Phantom shows were dropped so teams could work on ATLA.
@@Kixx_KG being too new wasn't a problem for tak and the power of juju, so idk
FUN FACT: The main reason why The Fairly OddParents universe didn't appear on the forth game (Globs of Doom) was because by 2008 (The year that game came out) the distribution rights of the show were divided between Nickelodeon and Nelvana. Nickelodeon made a deal with Nelvana to license the international distribution rights of FOP as well as the consumer products rights outside from the US, but Nickelodeon will still having the rights between 2002 to 2007, But starting 2008 the rights were divided, In the US the rights of the entire show are own 100% by Nickelodeon, while in the rest of the world Nelvana has the rights only of Season 1-5 and Nickelodeon has the rights of Season 6-10 and the Jimmy Neutron Crossovers (That's also why in the rest of the world the first 5 seasons of FOP aired on Disney Channel, Jetix or Disney XD and the lastest 5 seasons are aired on Nickelodeon and why in the official merchandise of FOP internationally Timmy has his cap and shirt on purple because that merchandise was lincensed by Nelvana) so is a pretty massed up situation of rights and distribution internationally and that's also why The Fairly OddParents didn't appear on Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl.
So, the in-game universe explanation on why Timmy and his universe never appeared is that the Glob has completely overtaken Timmy and his universe and there is no way to save it.
And that's also the reason why the name of the series was, outside of the US, "SpongeBob Squarepants and Friends", as mentioned when he went to Globs of Doom.
And that's also the reason why the name of the series was, outside of the US, "SpongeBob Squarepants and Friends", as mentioned when he went to Globs of Doom.
Except that’s not the real reason. If it was than all those Nick Browser games wouldn’t include Timmy Turner.
Screw nelvana
This was a dream come true for Nicktoons fans. This will never happen again. It was a once in a lifetime thing for Spongebob, Timmy Turner, Jimmy Neutron, and Danny Phantom to come together as a team. I wish Nickelodeon would just make a full length movie featuring these 4 characters. But that will never happen now. SpongeBob will continue to be milked to death. And the other 3 shows are dead.
This is the one series, that needs a remake.
Me and my sisters always play Nicktoons unite, the first was great, Volcano Island was great too.
My all time favorite game to play as a kid! I used to love playing as Danny Phontom and possessing those ghost to get through levels. 😂
This was the OG avengers of Nickelodeon
yeah same. As a kid i was a huge fairly odd parents fan so I would always play Timmy
@@27Bayleefs I always play as Danny or Jimmy
I will never forget this. I got a Wii just to play globs of doom. Epic stuff.
I never got why Timmy was absent in Globs of Doom or any Fairly Odd Parents characters for that matter
Plus Jenny xj9 cause she was really playable on the toybots version
Something about the rights being split up with another company
Either because of rights or cast were busy working on season 6 fairly odd baby
It always bugged me we couldn't play as Jimmy in Volcano Island.
@@BP-dn9nv timmy being absent in globs of doom bugged me the most, bro was in the og group in unite 😭
These games aren’t what I would call great, but I’ll forever love them. Nickelodeon and THQNordic should remake the first one just like SpongeBob SquarePants: BFBB Rehydrated.
That would be great.... except for one problem. Tim Curry (the voice of Professor Calamitous and Nigel Thornberry) is now dealing with a stroke that prevents him from being able to talk. Much like Tom Kane (the voice of Professor Utonium for CN's Powerpuff Girls). So, unless King Goobot V, the Nanobots or the evil clone of Jimmy Neutron were to step in as the leader of the Villains' Syndicate... not sure of how it would work.
Im ok if THQNordic did a remaster on the Nicktoons Unite series thanks.
Bro, Unite and Volcano Island, were two of my FAVORITE games growing up (that was age-appropriate, anyway). I played the HELL out of both of them, and even still have my old copy of Unite for the PS2! If I still had cords, a controller, and a memory card for my PS2, as well as an HDMI adaptor, I'd ABSOLUTELY play it again! And I'd DEFINITELY track down a copy of Volcano Island so I could play IT again! It was definitely my favorite of the series. Attack of the Toybots was okay, and I never played Globs of Doom. But the first two are SEARED into my memory!!!
Never played Nicktoons Unite as a kid, but have many fond memories of playing Battle for Volcano Island. I would love to see a more in-depth video on that game and how fun it was. Love your work as always!
This was the OG avengers of Nickelodeon
I still have the ds cartridge of nicktoons unite. Loved this game as a kid but the enemies sometimes jumpscared me with their loud sound effects 😂 and the green rat with one eye looked the scariest for me 😨.... it's so weird to be able to talk about this openly which is only possible thx to your videos 😆
This was the OG avengers of Nickelodeon
@@jayjaybulldog9180 frrrr😆
Really wish cartoon network did this lol fusion fall kind of counts but punch time explosion doesn't since it was a fighting game
How does a fighting game not count
@@audreyharris7643 There was no structured story if they had did something like marvel ultimate alliance than that would have been so much more interesting
@@FriendlyNeighborhoodGeek99 fair enough
Mmm yeah I too prefer it when a fighting game has a story because then there’s more to do 😅
HELL YES!! THANK YOU JORDAN!!! Me and my stepbrother used to rent these every weekend from our local Blockbuster or Movie Gallery. Weekends with these games plus pizza were the best.
It's cause of these games WHY I wanted Timmy Turner & Jimmy Neutron in All-Star Brawl. I miss the old Nicktoon crossover gang :(
Right, instead we got Jenny and Hugh Neutron, not that anyone's complaining!
@@sonicANDtailsfan157k Love BOTH. Jenny's an Awesome addition and Hugh definitely One of The Best Nicktoon Dads...BUT if your'e gonna add Hugh, at least add His Son too :(
jimmy's in!! :D
Fun fact about Attack of the Toybots: The soundtrack is composed by Doom (2016) and Killer Instinct (2013) composer, Mick Gordon.
Bro, I would PAY to hear Mick redo this tracks, but now in the way he did the Doom soundtrack.
It would be so AWESOME!
That's on the same level as the Toon Town Online composer, Jamie Christopherson, also composing Metal Gear Revengeance...
Dude imagine if Vlad was in DOOM
Ah so that’s why the boss theme in attack of the toybots is a banger
I remember wanting these games so bad as a kid. But I only ever got to play at a friend's house occasionally.
This was the OG avengers of Nickelodeon
oh I LOVED Toybots as a kid, and coming back to watching playthroughs of the game made me realize how annoying Tak is. I dont hate him just hes too talky even compared to other characters. But loved they added Gir and Jenny to that game along with Stimpy and Rocko as playable characters. Would die to see these games remastered.
These games were absolutely amazing to own as a kid! They may not have been the best Nickelodeon games of all time but just the idea alone and the fact that you can play all of these amazing characters makes this series one of the best Nickelodeon games to me! I'll admit I don't like Globs of Doom but even that game still has a ton of nostalgia and I know many people think fondly of that game as I do with the Blue Tongue Nicktoons trilogy! Fun fact: they actually were gonna make a 5th game in the series called Nicktoons Dimensional Overdrive (which I would love to see a video on that) that would have been a lot like Lego Dimensions which I would have absolutely loved! I hope that one day that canceled game can see the light of day and show everyone how amazing a Nicktoons game can really be!
this was the OG avengers of Nickelodeon
This is very late, but are you sure Dimensional Overdrive was a real proposed project or just a fan-made thing?
Cuz I searched about it, and everything seems to indicate it's the latter.
@@viejodamis09Nicktoons Dimensional Overdrive is a bit of an mystery. It was reported that the game was being developed by Platinum Games (the same people behind Metal Gear Rising and Bayonetta) and this was originally going to be their third Nickelodeon game (As they were responsible for developing the Legend of Korra game and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan). The game also had Butch Hartman involved (Likely as a consultant so that Dimensional Overdrive could connect itself to the Nicktoons Unite series). Meaning that the game would likely be published by Activision, since they were the main publishers behind the Nickelodeon games like SpongeBob or TMNT. There were going to be playable characters like Rango and Tak from Invader Zim was confirmed to be a boss.
It’s unknown why the game was cancelled, but from what I know, it likely must’ve been because Nickelodeon & Activision fell through, and decided to work with Gamemill and THQNordic, not to mention Butch Hartman left Nickelodeon in 2018.
@@ShockwaveFPSStudios Again, this sounds cool and all, but is there even any source on this? Literally all I managed to find back then was a Deviantart page which if anything made the whole thing like a fanfic made by the user who provided the info, nor I could find any tweet by Butch confirming any of this, not even a screenshot.
I remember playing the original Nicktoons Unite for hours on our PS2!
But sadly, we ended up selling it at a garage sale years ago. And I can’t seem to find a copy no matter where I go! I’ve wanted to replay it and finally beat it since my brother and I never could!
Emulate it
this was the OG avengers of Nickelodeon
I still have my copy of Nicktoons Unite and Attack of the toybots on ps2 😭 and I plan to never get rid of them Nicktoons unite holds a special place in my heart
@@sonoku00121 Same for me. I have the complete saga.
@@stickyfingers5189 what's a good ps2 emulator?
Battle for volcano island was fun as hell
I’ve even beaten it multiple times
I'd love to see the Nicktoons Unite series make a comeback someday. Maybe add some new shows like The Loud House, TMNT 2012 or Rise, Glitch Techs, etc.
When I was a kid, I Ioved these games because I could play as Danny Phantom on a console(I also spent a lot time in those flying sections in Attack of the toybots where you fly around as Danny and shoot enemies and remember enjoying them a lot as a kid). Danny Phantom did receive two video games on handhelds but they were pretty meh in my opinion. The Ultimate Enemy got a game on GBA and apparently there was going to be a console version on Gamecube, PS2 and Xbox, but sadly it got cancelled.
I'd say Volcano Island was best, Toy Bots came in second, globs was okay
Something funny is that i think Unite references the events of the Power Hours in some way so...this is actually canon.
Man the Nicktoons Unite series was something else started a bit poorly with the first one because of how long it feels even though is short.
Volcano Island is the best one imo they did a good job with the structure of the whole game and with new characters it was good.
I've never played the other two because i couldn't get any of them (i had the GameCube and never had the PS2 version of the other games when i got the PS2 back in 2009) but the old characters being brought back was really cool.
Now i wanna know who decided to just put the European name into the final game...you could've just called it like that since the second game at least.
I would love to see something like this being brought back although nowdays we don't have many new characters so could be just the nostalgia cast.
Great vid Jordan
I played one of these in its entirety while on a cruise ship in like 3 days with a friend I made in the kids club. Loved ever second of the game
Ik we make a lot of "This was my Multiverse of Madness" jokes, but this one REALLY was it. And semi-canonical since it acknowledges the Jimmy Neutron/Fairly Odd Parents crossover cartoons.
I loved these games. I remember renting a couple of them with my bro at blockbuster when we were younger and I can't really remember much about the plot of them, but man we had so much fun with them. Lucky me there's emulators so I can relive my childhood lol I also had one of the gba ones, but it's a shame I can't find it anymore
I love your channel so much because of all the nostalgic content you make. The different shows and games that were made in the 2000s that some people forget about or kids today have no idea the impact of is so great to see. Definitely stuff I want to bring to my channel
Loved this series and I seriously hope it can make a comeback one day, through a remake or whatever means.
You don't know how happy I am you covered this I played this game so much as a kid I had both the GameCube and gameboy version and I remember my disc kept glitching out during the flea boss battle
When I was a kid, the only one of these games I ever played was the final one; Globs of Doom (plus the Gameboy advance version of Attack of the Toybots) and I absolutely adored it so much, it gave me such nostalgia every time you showed even a glimpse of footage from it in this video
"Spongebob Squarepants - Featuring Nicktoons - Globs of Doom" has the same energy as "Captain America: Civil War"
Killing it lately, keeping it going!
Dude so many memories just came back… thank you
Found your channel one week ago and binged all your videos. I love the nostalgia thing you got going and you make me wanna buy all these gems even though they are kinda mid tier just because ur videos are so good. Keep it up!
Man you brought back memories mane😭
My first of these was Battle for Volcano island and i may not have played it the most of all my games but it is probable one of my favorite games ive played for many reason!
Hell yeah new gaming video! I loved these games as a kid some more than other but it was insane to me as a kid that they made this crossover stuff. Great times and I did play the gameboy version of nick toons unite and it’s similar to gba battle for bikini bottom
Im early, gunna use this chance to recomend you cover flying rhino jr high on the main channel, have a ton of nostalgia for that one. Keep killin it dude
I remember being so excited about this game sees the ads on tv and I got it for my Gameboy Advance. Then I got it and completed it in less than 1.5 hours since it was only a simple side scroller…. It was that day I learned the difference between console and handheld gaming
I remember playing Nicktoons Unite, Battle for Volcano Island, and Attack of the Toybots! So much fun. I don't remember playing Globs of Doom, that was the one I never did get to try. But the first three were staples of my childhood
this was my favorite co-op game for years
the one with the goo was one of my fav games
Yes!!! As soon as the first game came out, every weekend me, my brother, and our two friends would join together and play this until we beat it. Really great memories 🥲 thank you for making this video!!!
Man this game was one of my jams as a kid.
Man what a nostalgic days those ware, like I have been playing those for joy with friends, since then I was waiting for those games drop on our new consoles but nik won’t do it kinda disappointed but I glad I have experience those golden days
Yeah, how can we forget those games, those games were amazing, Except Globs of Doom (Graphics) Cause they just ruined Jimmy, and idk how that even happend, but i especially love the writing of these games, like them referencing the Jimmy Timmy Power Hours, it was amazing
Definitely worth replaying, and i recommend it even playing it with your friends (if you have 3 extra controllers, lol)
I remember playing this with friends and always being stuck with jimmy which I didn’t like. But on playing a game and learning about upgrades changing some moves I got humbled and appreciated him more
I remember replaying Battle for Volcano Island countless times on my grandma's Ps2, I absolutely loved it and it's still a favorite of mine today
I LOVED these games as a kid, especially Attack of the Toybots. The good ole days ❤️
After being a former top 3 runner of the game it’s good to see it getting some recognition although can get repetitive:) would love for it to be remade
This and Scooby Doo Night of 100 Frights are on my list of remakes I need before I die
This was like OG Avengers before the avengers. I had many nostalgic memories with Battle for volcano island and Attack of the toybots as my most favorites on both ps2 and Wii.
The Avengers before the Nicktoons.
The Avengers were created in 1963, that’s like 42 years before Nicktoons Unite was released.
I remember playing Nicktoons Racing in the 90s and being blown away by that crossover. Unite brought it to a whole nother level 💯
i played attack of the toybots the most and i had globs of doom as well, i also had spongebob movin' with friends, which was some kind of a minigame collection for the eye toy cam
Not saying Danny Phantom shouldn't have been apart of these games alongside SpongeBob SquarePants, Timmy Turner, and Jimmy Neutron but I do think Aang should have been added to the roster.
The only one I played is attack of the toy bots on the DS, great game, really miss those days
Globs of doom was my childhood
The cover art for volcano island is such a throwback
Always loved this series growing up
My childhood. God damn I loved all these shows as a kid and seeing them all in a game together was just amazing
I actually had Nicktoons Unite for DS as a kid but could never beat Plankton cause his boss fight was glitched, so last year I learned how to properly beat him, bought a used copy of it on eBay since I lost the original, and finally beat the whole game after 17 years.
My first console was gamecube and this was the series that really drew me into gaming. Other than playing Halo with my cousin on his Xbox.
I had Globs of Doom for the Nintendo DS!! I remember being frustrated over never being able to finish the game. But I still had fun with it and that's what matters lol
I loved this series as a kid. Volcano Island was my favorite. I would play as Danny Phantom as MUCH as possible, he was my favorite.
THQ was so good. The creators of so many of my favorite childhood games.
“NICKTOONS UNITE, saving the nicktoons universe one world at a time” I had the jimmy timmy power hour on dvd and that was one of the ads on it that I always remember
I only ever owned/played Battle for Volcano Island when I was younger. I always wondered why they all knew each other already.
I remember renting the very first game for the gamecube and really enjoying it! It played similarly to Gauntlet which was fun. I miss renting games...
I'm glad to have finally found a good review of the games here. I am absolutely in love with these games and series, metaphorically speaking. I am currently working on a fan fiction for these games, and I just want it to be well-received. It's hard because more and more I get the feeling that Nicktoons Unite has a very small fanbase and I just find it hard to be part of so many minorities all the time. Any other fans who can relate?
LETS GO JORDAN THIS IS THE ONE IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THATS MY GOAT 🔥🔥
I grew up with all the Nicktoons games with Attack of the Toybots being my first ever video game on the PS2, my first ever console. Literally all the Nicktoons games have an unspeakable amount of nostalgia to me. Battle for Vulcano Island was my second favorite PS2 game back then.
Damn, I wish I could go back in time 15 years to experience Attack of the Toybots again for the first time 😭
the gameboy advance version had dark danny and spongegar as additional characters
I remember being so hype about this as a kid. I used to rent it over and over again to play at my grandpas house cause I had a ps2 over there. Also played a LOT of Pac-Man World 2
Oh, I played the first game years ago! I loved that game since it was a mix of my favorite shows in my childhood.
Nicktoons Unite is my favorite crossover nickelodeon game out of all the others. It just feels more entertaining and more playable. I still enjoy playing the others. I hope they can make a nickelodeon crossover movie with the classic nicktoon characters and more sequel games after globs of doom.
I have been trying to find this game for ages now, since my girlfriend played it when she was younger, and we just could not find out which specific game it was. Lo and behold this video shows up in my subscription feed and its the exact game she was after!
I always loved these games! They were so much fun!
Battle for volcano island had me and my little brother hooked - playing the gamecube and ds versions 😭
Nicktoons Unite was the reason I got a PS2, and it’ll stay as one of my fav games of all time
I played the original unite so much as a kid on my GameCube. Might’ve been my favorite game growing up
When I was a kid I always wanted a nicktoons tv crossover. I loved the jimmy Timmy power hour and wanted that for the rest of the characters. I actually found a fan comic that genuinely felt like what I wanted and it helped scratch that itch from when i was a kid.
Some of the best games I ever played growing up
I need this franchise to return, it could be a good road to revitalizing a lot of these old shows or at least make old and new fans see awesome characters in a unique story
The first unite game was so hard when I was little but it’s a core memory when I played with my dad
I Always will remember these I played these for days on end my childhood I loved Volcano Island the most
Man I remember playing this first one the wii this games series hold a place in my heart
I remember that first game so much. It was a blast
I remember getting the first three games for Christmas 2005-2007 and they were a big deal to me and my friends in elementary school
I do remember this series a little bit, I had attack of the Toybots and Globs of Doom for the DS, but I lost my Nintendo DS and 3DS all the games I had for them in a house fire around a year ago so sadly I can't replay the game for Nostalgia sake.
The Game boy version was one of my first games and I played it to death I remember even beating and being happy. That version used codes to save levels and I still remember one being goddard
I loved these so much i owm 2 of em💯🧡
When I was a kid (10 or so) me and my friend from daycare would swap gameboy advance games, one time he let me borrow one of these, I think it was attack of the toybots. I got so into it that I didn’t notice when he left before I could give it back to him that night. The next day I was gonna return it to him but he wasn’t there and eventually I remember someone telling me that he died somehow. I still have the game
I never got to own any of these games but my best friend had a game cube back in middle school and I remember playing I believe it was the volcano island game and while not a nick game we also played a kid of loony toons back in action hope to see you cover that one day too.
I remember me and my brother were so excited when we first played this game and we played Volcano Island (the 2nd one) 100 times too. And then the third one came out and we saw it wasn’t really multiplayer and we were pissed and returned the game
my gamecube version of Volcano Island would sometimes glitch straight to the end credits after any given mission. I probably have the WR and don’t even know it
