Oh joy, a licensed game. Good to see Nintendo's quality standards are still so strict.

I don't think these games are for you.

Yeah, stupid Nintendo. Making a kids game for the 3DS. Kids don't like fun. Who allows this stuff?

Actually, THQ made the game. Nintendo's lax quality control these days is why their systems have no filter when it comes to mediocre games based on kid's shows.

I'd be nicer about it if these games weren't soulless cash-ins and were instead made with QUALITY and GOOD GAME DESIGN in mind. I.e., the opposite of what most licensed games are.

How would you know if it's a quality game or not? You've only read a press release, you haven't even seen a video or played the game. Judging something because it's licensed, or just judging anything based on nothing is stupid.

Oh and games are bad because they're licensed. By that logic Arkham Asylum was bad.

I'm ready Spongebob. I'm ready.

1. Not all licensed games are bad. The Arkham games buck the trend, and in recent years, some Marvel games (mostly games featuring all characters or Spider-Man) have gotten better.

2. It's a Nickelodeon game. Games based on their shows have traditionally sucked big-time, spanning all the way back to games based on shows like Real Monsters, Ren & Stimpy, and Rocko's Modern Life.

3. While Nintendo's portables have many good games, they also have a lot of garbage. A lot of that happens to be stuff based on cartoons.

My wariness is not without justification.

Either someone started the shovelware presses again or we might actually have a good game on our hands. Bravo, gentleman.

I want another epic 3D adventure like the Spongebob movie game. Okay, it wasn't the best game ever, but it was entertaining. Pretty decent for a licensed movie game, if I do say so myself. The PC version sucked though. Wha a blatant cop-out.

But this game... Let's hope it's fun. Or are we not allowed to have fun any more? I'm sick of fun being me killing Mexicans on Modern Warfare 2. It's boring. Seriously, these two Mexicans were chatting to each other for the whole game. I couldn't understand a word they said.

To be fair, I'd play this before I played 95% of the 3DS launch lineup.

Which reminds me... where is the WarioWare game for 3DS? I really want to see what kind of ideas that team can come up with on this system, especially if they somehow implement the AR cards.
