The Animaniacs Almost Made The Game Boy Advance Zany To The Max With Long-Lost Game

by

As a gaming enthusiast, let me tell you about my childhood favorite, Animaniacs! It was the sequel to Tiny Toon Adventures and introduced me to the hilarious trio – Wakko, Yakko, and their sister Dot, all from Warner Bros. This animated series was an absolute sensation, leading to merchandise, a movie, and even nine video games! Two of them were dedicated spin-offs featuring Pinky and The Brain.

But here’s something exciting for fellow Animaniacs fans like me – a tenth game that never saw the light of day has been discovered! Can you imagine playing it on Game Boy Advance? Now, that would have been something special!

A preservationist collective called Hidden Palace has disclosed details on the forgotten game, “Animaniacs: Hollywood Hypnotics”, and has made it available for play. Here’s a glimpse of the game in action too.

The group Hidden Palace has revealed information and even shared the game, Animaniacs: Hollywood Hypnotics, allowing players to now enjoy this long-forgotten title. You can also check out some footage of the game here.

Greetings once more! Here’s an exciting update: Nearly finished product – Animaniacs: Hollywood Hypnotics for Game Boy Advance, a game long believed to be lost, has finally resurfaced!

In this game, much like other titles in the series, players assume command over the Warner siblings as they confront Pinky and the Brain, two lab mice with genetic enhancements. Their objective is to foil the plans of these cunning rodents: Pinky and The Brain aim to seize control of the iconic Warner Bros. Water Tower and the Warners’ lair, transforming it into a rocket ship. The game takes its name from the pair employing hypnosis to set their scheme in motion.

2003 seemed to be the year when the game finally saw the light of day, following a production journey that appeared quite rocky. Originally conceived by Conspiracy Entertainment, it eventually underwent a transformation under Swing Entertainment. However, Swing’s financial difficulties in 2003 led to the project being shelved, effectively marking its termination.

In 2005, Animaniacs: The Great Edgar Hunt was ultimately published by Swing for GameCube, Xbox, and PlayStation 2. This game was among the final Animaniacs titles to be produced.
