Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland announced
- Thread starter Bishop89
- Start date
Making a megaman-esque remix out of the "Bah bah bah bah baaah Im loving it!" is wild.
holy shit this came out of nowhere and looks amazing. I've been on a Gameboy Color kick lately so this is right up my alley
Oh yeah, you weren't seeing things! The sprites are definitely Bonk inspired, right down to the walk animation.
Judging by some of the scanline sprite flicker, the overscan bar on the left of this shot on the website, plus the multiple of the NES PPU's 256x240, this does seem to be an ACTUAL NES game. Crazy.
I do think they're using an expanded scanline limit mode commonly available in emulators. I only spotted two instances of sprite flicker in the trailer on another look and the width of these sprites would definitely cause quite a bit without it.

That's unexpected... it looks very Super Mario 2 USA in gameplay (with a ground pound), and some rather nice pixel art. Weirdly I sorta prefer that to the HD graphics - Tommy's thousand yard stare in HD looks... off. I'll wait on impressions to see if its worth picking up. Going from the trailer, Im thinking it might actually be half decent.
Getting flashbacks to the horror show of the Rugrats game on PS1. That's a memory I'd all but forgotten...
Makes sense nostalgia centric stuff is generally based on a business model where the generation has expendable income and well...points at the well everything of zennial economic conditionals.
What do 2000s kids even have? Code Lyoko? The dub version of Card Captor Sakura? Pshaw, I say, PSHAW!
Nickelodeon still milking their ips . They need to get new ideas. Oh wait , they don't have none.
As a fan of the old school Rugrats show…this actually looks pretty rad. Pixel platformers are my jam, so will definitely give this a go once it releases.
Love to see this and Toxic Crusaders being made to look and play like the games/consoles that were popular back when those properties came out.
I remember posting here that I used to draw these stages on long dot matrix printer paper of a beat 'em up take on Rugrats where you play as Tommy, Chuckie, Phil or Lil and all the stages were based on various episodes like Reptar on Ice, Chuckie's dream ("I'm not Tommy!!!") the toy store, the beach, the post office and so on.

I don't particularly like the HD look. The Retro one looks more appealing
It is an actual NES game. With modern console versions too.
New Rugrats game coming to NES over 40 years after console's Japanese release
The NES released in Japan 40 years ago, but a new Rugrats game is on the way to Nintendo's old console next year. Rugra…

Not gonna lie, there's something about the HD mode graphics in the modern console versions that feels...off to me. Like I look at the brief footage and can see 'OK yeah that really does match the art style of the cartoon' but something about it feels less interesting than the NES graphics.
Not gonna lie, but I've always wanted a Rugrats game on the SNES when I was a kid. I loved the Ren & Stimpy games.
I never watched Rugrats, but the retro graphics and gameplay on display here have me interested in this game.
The "HD" mode looks so far removed from the NES inspired mode. Like two totally different games, and the HD mode barely got covered in this trailer. That said I will just be playing the 8-bit mode.
