Tiny Toon
Adventures: Defenders of the Looniverse
"Tiny Toon Adventures: DotL is
the name of Tiny Toon Adventures video game that seems to have been
cancelled. Originally developed by Treasure Video Games, it was
originally slated for the PlayStation 2 and possibly the Nintendo
GameCube. It was originally slated for release in May of 2001, but
thanks to many delays, the game no longer has a foreseeable future.
Other possible titles for the game
included Tiny Toon Adventures: Defenders of the Loony-verse,
Tiny Toon Adventures: Defenders of the Universe, and Tiny
Toon Adventures: ACME Invasions. None of them were confirmed,
however.
The game's original official
website,
www.dotu.net, no longer exists. Tetsuhiko Kikuchi (aka Han),
the apparent director of the game, his hinted on his
homepage (Japanese) that the game has indeed been
cancelled.
An article on IGN written
back in 2004 suggested that the game has always been intended for
release. The article says at the end "Still officially slated to
come out sometime (not necessarily in 2004)", but 2005 has even come
and gone with nothing new about this game released. The main page at
IGN now has cancelled for the US release date.
Defenders of the Looniverse was of
the most interest to Treasure fans because it was based of the
gameplay that was originally in Rakugaki Showtime. The gameplay had
been greatly expanded over Rakugaki and the most obvious additions
included large, interactive levels and a new scenario mode that
allowed for 4 player co-operative play and giant bosses."
