Midway to develop Aqua Teen Hunger Force combat golf game

by Ross Miller { Mar 21st 2007 at 8:10PM }

What has already been hinted at has finally been confirmed: Aqua Teen Hunger Force is getting a console game. This fall, the mooninites will be invading retail outlets with Aqua Teen Hunger Force Zombie Ninja Pro-Am. Billed as an "epic, action-adventure combat golf, cart racing game," ATHFZNP-A will pit players as the dynamic fast food trio, complete with weapons and golfing equipment, to face bad guys derived from the show.

Licensed games, with some exceptions, generally fare badly in terms of quality. There is a glimmer of hope in that ATHF creators Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis will be "working closely" with Midway, but we're not getting our hopes up.

The game is due out this fall on PlayStation 2. If there is any parallel to be drawn between the game and the movie, Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theatres, however, some sensationalist event might cause the game to expand its horizons to newer generation consoles.

duo, huh?

y'all ever watched the show?

Cant wait for the Wii port of the PS2 version... going by history it will have worst graphics and broken controls.

Kamizar @ Mar 21st 2007 8:35PM

Except: 1) It's a trio...

and,

B) I'm betting you can supporting characters as well...

I've never actually seen the show, but I've heard some interesting things about it. :D

(Also, I'm pointing out the obvious, but.)

Is it just me, or does every post suddenly aspire to become a haven for a console scrimmage? >_>;

More fun than you can ever imagine, even using 100% of your puny Earth brain.

ATHFZNPA will pwn your face!

@john, I lived in Boston for a while and I resent your comment. Boston is full of dicks, assholes, and stupid ass-dicks. The nerds there are few and far between.

Comi @ Mar 21st 2007 9:38PM

Uh oh. Better not release this in Boston. They might interpret the standard "Flashing lights may cause seizures" warning wrong.

and it didn't even work right...

Cool that they are finally making a game for ATHF, but I would rather have "a movie made for game/Adventure/Action game" on the Wii or Xbox 360, then a crappy "epic, action-adventure combat golf, cart racing game" on the PS2.

I know the PS2 is a great system, but come-on....at least make it for more than one system.

btw this is what the "Movie made for game/Adventure/Action game" ATHF game cover would look like for the Wii:

and yes, I made that in Photoshop. Photoshop skills FTW!:D

Just saw the movie today thanks to the myspace black curtain screening... (myspace has benefits after all!) www.myspace.com/blackcurtain

And I'm happy to say that fans of the series will definitely not be disappointed!

PS2 only? :(

@Rubang B

Your tiny earth brain could not comprehend john's highly advanced moon humor. Now pull down those sweatpants right now!

I'm hoping for a 360 port as well.

Meatwad: Can I just keep one eye open?

Master Shake: Yeah, if you think you can get anywhere in life by cheating. You may as well paint yourself yellow, run around like a maniac, and call yourself Banana Man, cause that's what you're doing.
