Play Game Boy Advance Video : Nicktoons Collection : Volume 1 Online

I picked up Nicktoons Collection Volume 1 for the Game Boy Advance back in 2004, a release from Majesco that let you carry episodes of SpongeBob, Jimmy Neutron, and others in your pocket. It was a strange but clever idea for the time, turning the handheld into a portable TV when streaming wasn't an option.

You don't control any characters; instead, you navigate menus to select episodes, pause, or skip chapters. The main objective is simply watching, with the cartridge storing compressed video that plays full screen. The pacing is exactly like the original broadcasts, though the small screen and occasional compression artifacts make it a very specific kind of experience. It feels like having a little piece of after-school TV tucked away for whenever you want it.
