Screenshots from Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion

127 Comments

*Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion* is a fighting game similar to Smash Bros., but with Cartoon Network characters. I think I’d rather beat the crap out of a friend with Donkey Kong rather than a Powerpuff Girl, but nevertheless, it may be something you’re interested in and a batch of screenshots is after the break.

  • Detantalus

    If this has Finn and Jake, consider it bought.

    • http://www.agreed.com Agreed

      Agreed.

    • tHe sOmEoNe

      What Pic?

    • Holonboy

      No, it doesn’t. I doesn’t have any characters from cartoons that first aired in 2010 and foward.

    • Mr MC ClapYoHandz

      It doesn’t, but the counsel version will because it comes out in September giving them more time to get more characters. 3DS version comes out May. look on wikipedia for all the characters

    • Flygon

      I would buy it if it had Finn and Jake as well. Ah well, maybe if the console version does have it.

    • supersyrup97

      Adventure Time is awesome
      I <3 Lumpy Space Princess lol

  • Will Pokerface

    yeah adventure time is wicked funny.

    • street fighter IV

      Adventure time is awesome.So is regular show.

  • Nafizl

    Looney Toones Adventure Time billy and mandy and fosters home for imaginary friends or ben 10??…………………….. HELL YES

    • Holonboy

      No Looney Toons. Sorry, but that belongs to WB, not Cartoon Network. Cartoon Network doesn’t own the shows but owns the right to air it for WB.

  • Nafizl

    OH and dexters labratory code name kids next door

  • http://mrenvelope994.blogspot.com/ Jesus Zamora

    They did a great job at making the cartoons 3 dimensional. The game looks okay too

  • Christopher

    I love the old cartoon network shows. I’m looking forward to this

  • Mega

    Cant wait to get it :)
    Cartoon Network was favorite channel back in the good old days ^_^

    • Mega

      omg!! i just google it and went to wiki and it say its coming out for xbox 360,ps3 and wii O_o

    • Holonboy

      Yeah, but console versions don’t come out till September.

  • Luis

    Looks cool! I like Cartoon Network…

  • Tagmannn The Dungeon Raider

    Im def. buying this just because the powerpuff girls are on it.

  • Somebody

    WOW, this game looks really good. Look at the 3rd picture and look at the planks of wood. The detail that was put into everything in this game is pretty amazing.

  • SuperYoshiBoy

    I always liked the Ben 10 series (Old one, not the stupid new ones), Fosters Home, Dexter, and those things. If Looney Tunes show (That new one coming out soon) is there to, It’ll add to the reason to pick this up.

    • majorasmaskfan

      the only bad thing is flapjack but if jouny bravo and spaceghost are in definent buy

  • http://..... luisj96

    lol wut?

  • Exlon

    I don’t know who some of these “new” characters are, but I LOVE BUBBLES!!! =D

  • FusionPlank23

    I can’t wait for this game; I’m picking it up when it comes out at my Game Stop. And come on… It’s gonna be fun to beat the tar outta Ben 10, Cartoonnetwork’s attention hog. >:3

  • George Tirebiter

    I’m glad to hear at least some of the non-playable characters will be available a la the “Assist Trophies.” I still think Cow, Chicken or the Devil should’ve been playable, but that’s just me.

  • http://www.nintendo3ds.wikia.com J. Severe

    FINALLY!!!! YOU MADE A POST ABOUT THIS!!! FFF-YEAH!!!!

  • Brown_yoshi

    “I think I’d rather beat the crap out of a friend with Donkey Kong rather than a Powerpuff Girl”

    I Couldn’t agree more…

  • Mico

    I heard the gameplay is like Brawl :)

    P.S. the graphics is good

    • Holonboy

      There’s even a single-player mode similar to Subspace Emissary, and there is a super attack called Punch Time Explosion, which is similar to a Final Smash.

    • Yes Man

      @Holonboy Sounds like it’s already ripping off another game ‘ 3′ …jk

    • Holonboy

      Crave Entertainment even said in an preview that the game was heavily based on SSBBrawl.

  • KonjkinoSora!

    Am I the only one who thinks that picture # 7 looks strange?

  • http://forkthisllama.blogspot.com/ Luke

    This actually looks decent, much better than I thought it would be. I’m dying for a Smash Bros. game for the 3DS, so I might pick this up, as long as the reviews are good

  • QOTSA

    Definitely not 3DS screens.

    • http://www.datv.tk Craig

      It is 3DS screens… I’m guessing you’re one of the “It’s just a DS with 3D” people… Research is needed for you.

    • Luis

      everyone tells me ”oh you mean the ds with the 3D screen?”…I scream and run on my inside

    • Podoboo

      Too good for 3DS?
      No. So that’s like a compliment.

    • Joshua

      Guys, no need to be ignorant. Not everyone is up to date on technology. Besides the 3DS is basically a DS with 3D screens -_- Man i hate douchebags on this site…as if everyone is supposed to know what the 3DS is.

    • KonjikinoSora!

      @Joshua I know what you mean, but if they go on this website they should at least have a good idea as to what a 3DS is, especially with all the helpful information on here.

  • Terminalmontage

    I would get it if it were online.

    • http://homeskilletpodcast.tumblr.com CaptainFalco311

      IT IS! Hit it up on Wikipedia.

  • http://www.youtube.com/cooleobrad1337 Cooleobrad

    This looks interesting, I grew up with a lot of the CN shows (and well I’m stikll growing up lol) I don’t watch it much anymore though. If they have ed edd n eddy, I’m in :D

  • Sam3ds

    I’m just Annoyed/Angry that there are No Total Drama/Stoked/6teen Characters! I would love to be Duncan beating up Chris or Heather, Or Gwen vs. Finn. Or Ezekiel vs. Reef!

    • Komicturtle

      Those are NOT Cartoon Network properties; just as Pokémon.

    • rod

      Those cartoons are not from Cartoonnetwork so they CAN’T be put in the game.
      (They’re also very dumb.)

    • Holonboy

      Like Pokemon, Bakugan, Johnny Test and many other shows, they aren’t from Cartoon Network. I don’t know what company made them, but I remember they’re from Canada and Cartoon Network only bought the US airing rights.

    • Sam3ds

      Actually, Half of the series is made by Cartoon Network. (Well, Total Drama is). There have been episodes that have been semi-produced, such as TDI RUNDOWN (Cartoon Network Version) Because of them Semi-producing them, Cartoon Network have the right to put them in the game.

    • KonjikinoSora!

      I’m not really sure if those characters are cut out fighting. Duncan might be, though.

    • http://homeskilletpodcast.tumblr.com CaptainFalco311

      Hmm… 6teen was the only decent show out of those. You can blame the Canadians

  • rod

    Medabots game coming to the 3DS,David!
    http://www.nintendolife.com/forums/3ds/medabots_3ds

    • Ryu Shoji

      Fecking win.

    • Nesyaj0

      That says MedaLOT…

  • Nintendo3DSrocks

    Is that mac from Fosters home imaginary friends using hadouken or bludouken?

  • Digital

    These screens look great. Almost….too great. XD

  • Shatgan

    Looks good, obviously the game won’t be that good…I can tell the future you’ll see.. :P

    • Yes Man

      If you can tell the future, then tell us: Will the Wii’s successor succeed? :p (good joke btw)

      Also Flapjack will get his @$$ kicked >:D

    • Pontus G

      @Yes Man
      Since my humor is weird i allways call him “Fapjack” XD

  • Anti

    wow…… nice gfx o_O…..! bubbles looks really cute in that pic

  • Jose

    I thnk this game comes out the sAme day as dead or alive so ima b getting this over that :-) then im going to get DoA

    • Holonboy

      Actually, this game comes out the following Tuesday (May 31), according to Amazon, but this blog said it came out the same time as DOA.

  • Gamegal

    I doubt I’ll ever get this game; I’m not one to play fighting games, but I love the fact this exists. I loved the PowerPuff Girls when I was younger, and still do to a certain extent. :)

    • George Tirebiter

      But how could you ever get tired of…..HIM? :D

    • Will

      @George Tirebiter
      do you mean that red guy that whispers and sounds like a girl

  • guy

    this game looks nice I like the variety of characters you can play as

    • guy

      but flapjack this does not include you

    • Nesyaj0

      It does include flapjack check the wiki dude

  • Eric

    I thought this game would look like total crap, but meh not bad looking. Not my normal type of game, but if it was cheap and I had nothing better to get i might and only then it would be a might, consider, and remember its only a consideration. getting it. lol

  • SwagMonster

    Shovel ware alert.

    • ledsmash

      Nope, its fanservice, it may not turn out as good as a smash bros game but its obviously got some good stuff put into it.

  • Matthew G

    SAMURAI JAAAACK!!! :O
    HECK YEAH!!

  • super cooooooooooooooool

    i have seen videos in you tube and it has a lot of caharacters it even has mandrak and father also ben 10 can transform into Ultimate humangasaur

  • super cooooooooooooooool

    the game has its space in wikipedia
    it says all the characters that are in the game and more it even has the cover for 3DS it also says for what other consoles is going to be the game (for example wii)

  • ledsmash

    SAMURAI JACK. WACHA!

  • Matt

    I like how Bloo is a hadoken. lol

  • 3DS

    i will prefer a anime videogame Goku vs Luffy or Edward Elric vs Naruto XD

    • Sleeper
    • 3DS

      In the 3DS

    • rod

      I want Viz Media VS Shonen Jump 3DS!!!

    • KonjikinoSora!

      @Sleeper That is the best DS game by far. They might make another sequel, maybe like the user rod is suggesting, but it might be exclusive to Japan again, and I won’t be able to play it because of region locking.

  • Nathan Martinez

    i saw samurai jack, this game is bought

    • shiny

      Yes!

  • Matthew

    This ”Used” to be my favorite channel the only thing I watch there now is ADVENTURE TIME :D

    • majorasmaskfan

      maybie the loony toons show will be good and old warner bros cartoons such as the loony toos and merry melodies come on in the mornrny(realy early in the morning)

    • supersyrup97

      you’re not alone. Adventure Time is the only good show on Cartoon Network now…

  • Yes Man

    Kick his ass Jack XD

  • Sleeper

    Seems like a bad version of Jump! Ultimate Stars.

  • https://sites.google.com/site/webofdavid/ David Hoyle

    this game is stupid if it does not have Scooby Dooby Doo.

    • mario mario

      lol and even scooby doo is a Hanna Barbara property not from Cartoon Network

      but i like to have Johnny Bravo and Samurai Jack to clash in it, lol

  • Nintendofan

    It looks to much like smash bros. I think I’m gonna wait for a better game ;)

    • Flip

      yeah…

  • ryuk

    FLAPJACK!

  • John M

    personally i wouldn’t buy this type of game but looking at some gameplay footage i see that they completely ripped off smash bros which isn’t much of a bad thing it’s the closest thing we will get to smash bros on 3ds until an actual game is announced which could be in a few years or never. We will have to wait and see and at least it isn’t super pop fighter starring Hannah Montana and Justin Bieber (Also some of these characters i grew up with and enjoyed when i was younger)

    And David i agree i would rather play as DK but this will have to do.

  • Atomix26

    This actually looks like a decent effort. I will be surprized to see the results.

  • ony

    i want smash bros

  • drwill439

    Holy sh!t! Father from KND is in the game! It could definitely use a Toonami storyline though. If they could fit Megas X.L.R, no matter if its some bullsh!t story where Coop and co. build a smaller Megas, i would get this. Even better would be the inclusion of television episodes, like they did in CN Racing.

    • drwill439

      I totally missed that monkey from Dexter. And Ed, Edd, n Eddy could work like the Ice climbers.

  • Hrisitjan

    4th pic…HOLY SHIT!!! There are ZoMbIeS!?!?! i am so fuckin getting this shit

  • Mr MC ClapYoHandz

    ALL THE CHARACTERS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartoon_Network:_Punch_Time_Explosion#cite_note-1

    it’s just like Smash Bros. There’s a 32 level Story mode and a Battle Mode. it has Assistant Characters, Items and Final Smashes. and each of the 22 maps change/move around as you play. it’s also single-card multiplayer!

    the 3DS version comes out in May, but the counsel versions don’t come out till September. the developers are using the 3DS version to show Cartoon Network that they have the potential to make good games. cuz theyre trying to get more characters and money to make a better game but it takes a long time and it’s really hard to do. so theyre are doing their BEST to make sure the 3DS version is great so they can get more money and characters for the counsel version. if the sales are well and Cartoon Network is pleased, there might be a part 2!.

    • Mr MC ClapYoHandz

      my source? their Facebook page: Punch Time Explosion. they were VERY active in the discussion page until recently a secret character was accidentally revealed and now there discussion with the public is limited. they also gave out their email if we had any questions. i sent some emails, they told me some secret stuff that im not aloud to share. it’s gonna be a great game. :)

    • Mr MC ClapYoHandz

      the only disappointments i have about the game is that Johny Bravo, Courage, and the Edds are not playable and only assistants. they will be playable in the counsel version but the developers didn’t get enough time to include them. but if sales are great, they’ll be a part 2 and they will definitely be playable.

    • rod

      Dude tell them to just add the characters as DLC via Spotpass once the console games are out. :/

    • Nesyaj0

      This ^

    • Flip

      yeah, but they need to make it compatible with SpotPass before its release

    • KonjikinoSora!

      I don’t really want this game, but it seems awesome that you can play as Captain Planet. I used to see his show a long time ago, and it was pretty cool (at least in my young eyes it was, not sure what I’d think about it now).

  • Prince

    Anyone know if it has wifi?

    • super cooooooooooooooool

      in wikipedia says that it has wifi and streetpass but so far i don´t know more =(

  • Adam Castel

    Definitely grabbing this game. If i can play using captain planet!? I’m down.

    • justin

      captain planet is the secret character, i have been talking to the developers since the beginging of this development, they are trying really hard to try to make a good game, they showed it off to people at gdc, they tried to fix all the complaints people had, about the game play. they could only fit so many characters in right now to have it out in the launch window, they made a mix of older and newer cartoonnetwork people, to try to please every one . the develeopers are not know for there games , but others i have talked to who have tried this game or have seen it said you will be surprised how good it is, these screens are of the 3ds they have yet to release anything for the console version. they said they will not release any info on it till after the 3ds version is out. the game is done and right now its being approved by nintendo of america and japan before it can be released.

    • justin

      sorry captian planet is a rumored secret character

  • Robtopia77

    Although this game looks promising, I still believe that Super smah bros. an original and this game a mimic. Still, nonetheless, this game looks good and shows a great ordeal of characters and gameplay. However, if nintendo did consider to put a Smash bros. franchise on the 3ds; then consider cartoon network’s game over.

  • Kendall427

    looks cool! A great game for my “babysitting tool”! it’s a good thing my 3ds isn’t as cool as Sony because I like being the only person who knows my credit card number! Unlike the hackers who know all of Sonys numbers! Thank you Babysitting tool!

    • nicole

      SARCASM WIN

  • UFOPilot

    They have Ben Tennyson, but no Generator Rex?

  • Tails the Foxhound

    Is that a playable Father? Fucking bought! My mains are gonna be Father, Jack, and Captain Planet.

  • BR!AN

    There’d better be Regular Show. So hilarious! Or adventure time, or that freckeled kid from MAD (fave CN show).

  • Nesyaj0

    Oh my god I can smell the nostalgia already…
    If the console version’s gonna have double the characters and they don’t suck I’ll buy both definitely… Omg can’t wait…

    • Holonboy

      The console version won’t have double the characters but about 1.5x the characters.

  • shiny

    Samurai jack! Who cares I’m getting this game even if the gameplay sucks.

  • Ikki

    http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=156876
    Confirmed, I’ll be dancing happily in the corner if you don’t mind.

  • Flip

    Sony can lost 24 billion dollars with PSN blackout. Good or no :P?

    • Holonboy

      Even though most of us are Nintendo fanboys, it would suck for us still if Sony went out of business. It wouldn’t just ruin the Sony business but the entire video game business as well. In a video game competition, we want one company to do better, not another to do worse.

  • Flip

    Gnaah! 3DS sales dropped last week. PSP was in first. 3DS in second with 1/2 of PSP sales. PS3 with only 4.000 behind 3DS :(

  • acg

    Jack to the Jack. Samurai Jack was THE show to watch when I was a kid.

    • Prince

      I miss that show. D:

  • 3DM

    Please tell this has Ed, Edd, and Eddy!?

    • Holonboy

      The Eds are in this game.
