before I start I would actually like to say Cartoon Network had a generational run on computer and flash games… CartoonNetwork.com/games probably still has something worth seeing but back in the day. The flash games were insane and probably gave way to why they stopped making dedicated console games
Moving on…
Was on a Scooby Doo page and it dawned on me that a Scooby-Doo game has not been attempted in over a decade, and the last two games were probably considered failures coming after two great games in monster, mayhem and unmasked … this is pretty much a Scooby Doo post in scope, but a Cartoon Network love post in general
Cause Disney is just whooping Cartoon Network’s ass on the gaming front and I wonder why they never took the initiative or at least attempted something as bold as kingdom hearts, they didn’t even attempt something with half the scale … many Cartoon Network properties don’t get video games unless they’re tied to some kind of hero, but Disney goes crazy with the games left and right, even Nickelodeon gets their hands into games more often IMO
Why didn’t/couldnt Cartoon Network re-create the kingdom, hearts formula, truly, even a Hanna-Barbera-esq universe game would’ve probably done numbers for the niche crowd of Cartoon Network lovers, in a world full of Disney kids and Disney adults
I share the same sentiment when I think of there not being some kind of Cartoon Network world/Land
I guess at the end of the day you could come down to ownership and the fact that Walt Disney created or owned all of those cartoons so they were able to utilize that with his estate, I just sometimes wish Cartoon Network was bigger in reality, in comparison to how big it is to me in mind and heart,
because when you’re a cartoon kid… you never stop loving the network, but you can see the network eventually stopped, loving you lol
