>Yoshi's story
What else is vomitcore

>>9174524
Because it was nick's most popular show after Ren & Stimpy.

>playing rugrats games for the gameplay
if you were a rugragget you would have been perfectly happy with the fact we even got these treasures

>>9174524
I played that one with my sister when we were kids and thought it was fun. Also great for making fun of emulation

This nigger cursed everything everything it touched.

>>9174647
Can emulation do anything right?

>>9174654
Apparently that particular game is fixed now but that picture really riles some people up.

The PS1 was the Rugrats console. Search for Reptar was pretty good for a licensed game, and Studio Tour was alright I guess. Fucking Scavenger Hunt on N64 was aids and both versions of Paris were awful because the N64 version infected the PS1 version. If Paris were a PS1 exclusive it would have been good.

>riles people up
Why emulator fans get mad confuses me. Either they've never played original hardware or they're in severe denial ignoring reality.

>>9174647
I tried this game with Not64 on the Wii expecting it to look like that image but it actually looked good and ran well from what little I played.

>>9174647
That tommy is terrifying.

>>9174524
People seem to like the PS1 game, I haven't played it but it is by nspace I think? I love Duke Nukem Time to Kill so I imagine it's a solid game.

Search for Reptar and Studio Tour were great for licensed games though. Very fondly remember them back in the day.
You gotta remember OP for a small moment in time that Rugrats was the most successful Nickelodeon cartoon before Spongebob took that title.

>>9175163
Search for Reptar is good because it's a companion piece to the show. It does exactly what a licensed game should do: recreate parts of the cartoon into videogame form.
The actual gameplay is pretty clunky. Collision is weird. Voice lines repeat over and over again. The levels and minigames are just okay. They're very simple and clearly made for children.

I love the sound tracks to these PS1 rugrats games I wish I had copies of them in basically any form. Game rips of Search for Reptar are on Youtube but there's like nothing of Studio Tour

Rugrats have been to Paris. I’m 37 and I’ve never been to Paris.

>>9174524
I never understood the appeal of this cartoon
I'm 36

It's like 90% about babies going on weird adventures trying to make sense of things with their extremely limited world view and experiences, and 10% about bunch of new parents being fucking idiots having no idea how to raise their kids.

The original run is a lot better though, it adhered more to the above concepts. When Nick chose to revive it they, in true Nick fashion, didn't understand the appeal of the show at all and focused more on cutesy baby shit which is never what anyone liked about the show and didn't understand the nuance of how the babies acted, they just made them dumb instead of naive.
They added a bunch of unironic Poochies in the revival too too. Basically if you're watching a Rugrats episode and you see Tommy's little brother Dill you know it's a revival episode and it's going to suck. If you see Chuckie's asian step-sister Kimi you're basically watching zombie Rugrats at that point.
Although in saying that I'll add that the Movie is good, but it's better to take it as a finale rather than the revival it's intended to be.

>>9174616
i just remembered that game looked so cartoony that celshading meme filter would actually look good on it

>>9175831
I'm not much older than you but I grew up watching it and loved it. Angelica is the bad guy and treats the babies poorly. It's funny until they introduce babies Dill and the Chinese baby.

>>9175871
season 1 actually not that good either. it might be too naive and weird with barely any dialog and very bizarre visuals at times where you sometimes wonder if it's some avant-garde artwork piece. it's later seasons where it picked and kids start having adventures in typical 90s cartoon fashion

>>9176042
I disagree, the lack of dialogue is what made it great. Tommy becomes too heavy handed with all his preachy lessons in later eps. I will agree the parents get funnier in later seasons. I think they started realizing the show was beloved by children, so they tried to make it funny for parents too.

>>9175871
Why did people hate Kimi again? I get Dil but not her, she just seemed inoffensive and only hated because she was in the shitty seasons

>>9174647
>Tommy at Suzy's Kwanzaa celebration in blackface

Rocko's Modern Life is the best Nicktoon of the 90's.

Rugrats was like doraemon, huge franchise and shitty games. but they finally started releasing good doraemon games, despite having nothing to do with the series

maybe it's for the better

Amelie 2, unfilmable

>>9176172
im kinda scared re watching it as adult. i heard it can ring too close to home if you're watching it as adult than a kid as some jokes in it you most likely completely missed as a kid. i get the feeling im gonna get same vibes from it that i got from welcome to nhk meaning very depressing

>>9174524
>Games based on TV Series/Movies are fucking awful
>3rd Party Games on the N64 are fucking awful

It had a lot going against it

>>9175871
Weirdly it seemed like the first baby show that did not turn into things like they used their imaginations and they would be on a island or in space or something like Muppet Babies. They remained in the real world almost the entire time. While it also had a B plot with the parents half the time and that made things entertaining for a second watch years later.

It was just very different from the average babies type of cartoon that was around at the time.

>>9176171
lmao
>>9176172
archetypical gross-out 90s junk

>>9176182
Japan had a way of just making a game, and then reskinning it to some franchise. Americans did that too when they took some ninja game and turned it into Yo Noid. It happened a few other times too. But it always ended up being it's own unique thing that just so happened to be a tv tie-in.

Like the Bart vs the Space Mutants game, that was not even related to the Halloween episodes at the time. It was just some bizarre nonsense with Bart spray painting alien goo off buildings to stop an invasion.

>>9174524
I never figured out why all the Rugrats games came out around the movie and not back during Seasons 1-3. There's an alternate universe out there where a SNES Rugrats game exists...

>>9175871
The show was in a creative feud between the writers who wanted to copy the Simpsons and Arlene Klasky who just wanted a kiddie show with babies doing baby things. Her vision mostly won out after the original run, unfortunately.

>>9176584
A SNES game would be something like what >>9176571 said, a generic adventure platformer that just happens to have the main character look like Tommy. Like the Beavis and Butthead, or Tiny Toons games of the time.

Imagine Tommy who throws legos at things as an attack that upgrades to a bouncy ball running around a mile long livingroom, killing legions of that one fat kid from the bandbox over and over again before fighting one of Stu's inventions as a boss.

>>9176584
Rugrats kind of flew under Nick's radar during its initial run. Because Ren & Stimpy were so much more popular they got all the focus when it came to merch and the other series they were running at the time got scraps. It wasn't until the late 90's when Ren & Stimpy finally petered off that some Nick exec finally noticed that Rugrats reruns pulled insane ratings, which would spur all the revival efforts that would last into the mid 2000's.

I do think it's weird though, the fact that Rugrats didn't really get any merch or games until the late 90's always makes me forget that it actually game out in the early 90's and could have had some gen 4 games if Nick weren't retarded.
