Marcamillian Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) Coming Fall 2010 I seems that the reletive sucess of WB publishing Scribblenauts for the DS has brought them back to the nintnedo platforms. Brave and the Bold: The Game Official Website/ Tread through the exciting terrain of the DC universe and test your might in this side-scrolling action thrill ride. Go behind the cowl of the Caped Crusader himself and team up with one of this many superhero firends to solve puzzles, fight dozens of foes and discover new worlds as you battle to save the day and see if you truely have what it takes to be a superhero. Not only do I love the humour of the Brave and the Bold series, it's being developed by WayForward (Boy and His Blob / Contra 4). With 2 player co-op (with a wide choice of support charcters from the series) in the Wii version and the ability to sync up the DS game... I'm excited. Excellent material and a developer who has an amazing track record of dealing with established IP in a very sucessful manner... recipie for success? (P.S This thing is going to look BEAUTIFUL) Edited February 23, 2010 by Retro_Link added Picture and date
or else you will DIE Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) oh no...oh no..... have you people actually seen this show? its fukin atrocious Edited February 23, 2010 by or else you will DIE
Retro_Link Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Haven't seen the show, but judging by the artwork I'm not expecting much from this game!
Gold Panda Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 WayForward is a good developer so I think they can make a good game. I hope they stick with the same cartoon-ish graphics. Who knows, this game may be Wiis Archam (in terms of success)!
STOOPIDDITTIES Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 oh no...oh no..... have you people actually seen this show? its fukin atrocious I dunno. Doesn't really seem that bad to me. Certainly not atrocious. And either way I don't think that will affect this from being a quality game. We already know that this studio is capable of great things.
Marcamillian Posted February 23, 2010 Author Posted February 23, 2010 Gotta be said I'm not a comic aficionardo but from my fleeting brushes with the comic world Marvel have always seemed have more draw for me. The brave and the bold cartoon has basically served as a "my first DC" in a lot of ways for me and I love it. People might rile against the "kiddy" batman but the tone of the show fits perfectly when introducing the less brooding and serious characters that have carried over from the silver age (I'm looking at you plastic man). DIE, have you seen much of this series? Have you seen the musical episode with Niel Patrick Harris? Aquaman is a pretty shoddy superhero but they at least make him entertaining.
dazzybee Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 I'm not going to lie. That youtube clip has me sold!! Never heard of it, not a big comic book fan, but I thought the tone was great!!
LostOverThere Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 WayForward = Gods at 2D. It's licensed, yes, but this will be awesome. I mean, it's WayFuckingForward!

Pookiablo Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 They've certainly got the look right - I was expecting a poorly executed 3D attempt (remember the god awful Clone Wars: Republic Heroes?). I'm not a fan of the series myself but if it turns out to be a fun game, I might be swayed into playing
dazzybee Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 Damn ipads and their lack of flash!! Guess I'll have to switch my laptop on later...
Retro_Link Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 Does this series not feature any of the recognisable villians or something?
Dante Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 Does this series not feature any of the recognisable villians or something? The series has it classic 60's batman roots ie made up villains from the 60's tv series and DC comic villains.
Cube Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 They should do a section with the Music Meister in it. Just so they can put NPH in it.
Shorty Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 oh no...oh no..... have you people actually seen this show? its fukin atrocious Haven't seen the show, but judging by the artwork I'm not expecting much from this game!Pff, you guys obviously just don't get this series. It's hilarious - not taking itself seriously at all. Don't think Christian Bale or Tim Burton. Think Adam West. Think "Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb!" Their Aquaman is amazing.
Retro_Link Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) Now Featuring: Green Lantern, Captain Marvel and Aquaman... Edited July 22, 2010 by Retro_Link
Retro_Link Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 That's Captain Marvel, not Flash.Thanks, so it is! Can't say I've heard of Captain Marvel before... They look pretty similar!
Dante Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Thanks, so it is! Can't say I've heard of Captain Marvel before... They look pretty similar! You never heard of Captain Marvel. Shazam!
Marcamillian Posted July 28, 2010 Author Posted July 28, 2010 Saw the thread pop back up and it reminded me! There are a couple of dev walkthroughs that have surfaced on gametrailers since comic con. They give you a better idea of the gameplay than the trailers this being the better of the three. http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-2010-batman-the/101780 The 2D art is beautiful (as expected from wayforward) and confirmation of the full voice cast is a relief. The gameply is still a little up in the air though. The walkthrough shows how awesome the co-op combat can be but there seems to be a suspicious lack of a block/dodge button. Lots of time spent lookng at the recovery animation. The sidescrolling puzzles in boy and his blob worked nicely but I jus worry that the action might get a little frantic to feel like you're in control of anything.
