Cartoon Network Series Gets 3DS Game And Weird Title

When I first saw the box art for the upcoming Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?!, I didn't know what the hell I was looking at. Some weird marshmallow guy is riding on a dead dog thing, and the Snow Miser from The Year Without A Santa Claus is hanging out behind a fat hooker in the background. Upon reading the press release for the game, I only understand slightly more.

You see, Adventure Time is apparently a show on Cartoon Network. According to the press release, the plot of the game is as follows:

In the first licensed Adventure Time video game, Finn and Jake wake up one morning to find their trash stolen by the Ice King. Jake couldn’t care less about half-eaten bananas, crumpled up burrito wrappers, and old chicken diapers – but when they find out the Ice King is using their stolen goods to construct a Garbage Princess, the heroes embark on a fantastical adventure to teach him a lesson!

It goes on to promise an "action-adventure experience" as players lead Finn and Jake through the Land of Ooo in their quest to defeat the Ice King. The game is being developed by WayForward, and it's heading to both DS and 3DS this fall.

Dude! Best animated children's series on T.V. today! And it's for the 3DS??? Life is beautiful.

Dan's response = My response.
Can someone explain what this is, exactly?
by GoldvsSilver Tuesday, May 08, 2012 at 05:34 PM

Dan, I applaud you for not knowing what Adventure Time is for so long. You basically summed up the show. Everything in it is crazy, and almost disturbing (for young children, to me it's just weird). I wonder if CN will utilize it's random nature to make interesting game mechanics.

oh yes

Stupid game based on stupid show is OVERLY stupid.
by Megas75 Tuesday, May 08, 2012 at 05:43 PM

I hope that it doesn't suck(but it probably will) Now I wonder if they'll ever make a Regular Show video game
by Ronnie Tuesday, May 08, 2012 at 05:44 PM

Crazy awesome show. The game? Well, I don't own a 3DS.

oh holy cow

I watch the show with my nephews and its pretty funny. I'd love to see a skyrim style rpg in the Adventure Time world I bet it would be a mind trip.

Now we just need one for Regular Show...YEEEEEEAAAAAUUUHHHHH!!!
by Chaos is Beauty Tuesday, May 08, 2012 at 05:52 PM

I wanted the adventure time game to be on the console and resemble skyrim like Pendleton Ward was saying a few months back, a 3ds game just sounds like a dumb cash-in

Wow did they really based the subtitle of a meme?

Faill of a name.
by Chris Mrkvicka Tuesday, May 08, 2012 at 06:03 PM

I really wish this show would go away. Sadly, the days of quality cartoons that are not geared toward stoners seem to be nearing an end.
by Ryno957 Tuesday, May 08, 2012 at 06:05 PM

hopefully it gets a regular ds release like on the cover art.
