Danger Mouse Is Back With A New Game Tie-In For The Switch

I know I'm being super pernickety here but this looks like it's based on the 2015 Danger Mouse reboot series, rather than the original 80s one. That sounds like Alexander Armstrong's voice, the logo is the modern one, and the art style is basically bang on the new version.

A licensed game that isn't Outright Games or Gamemill??
I might be into this. 15 levels sounds low though.

I don't really associate Danger Mouse with toilet humour? This looks like it could be decent though, better than that other Danger Mouse game on Switch anyway.

"Here I come to save the daaaaaaaaaaaay !"

Instant Cuphead thoughts! If the gameplay matches the look then I'll be happy.

Cor blimey! A few of us American kids got to watch DM on Nickelodeon back in the early-mid 80s I think. It was a goofy show, but no toilet humor! This game must be based on a reboot.
Color me mildly interested.

⚡️FRUIT DROPS!⚡️

@MJL if it was based on the original and they got David Jason to record VO, that alone would have been worth the asking price.

@Ellie-Moo

That was my thoughts on seeing this, if we did have similar gameplay, color me interested too.

Oooh very excited! I loved Danger Mouse growing up but re-watching the originals was a bit shocking, quite a lot of problematic stuff. So when they rebooted it, and the reboot was actually really good I was very pleased!

This is definitely based on the reboot (c'mon NL!), and that's no bad thing! 15 levels doesn't sound much but that depends on the length and quality of the levels really.

I thought the characters were going to look like that horrible cover art in the game. Luckily they are more like the show.

@Tibob Wrong mouse, I think....

Why are the mice robots dressed like the Horde from Masters of the Universe?

Jesus, they butchered my man for a 2015 reboot it seems, that design of him is awful.

@Tibob Nope, that was Mighty Mouse. Danger Mouse lives under a pillar box in front of 221B Baker St (yes, that one).

Wonder who’s on the other voices these days, given Terry Scott and Willie Rushton are long gone… [imdb] …damn, there was some names in there… Fry as Colonel K, fair, probably going full Melchett (M’BAAAAAH!)… oh, and Jimmy Hibbert is still involved as well, that’s cool.

No slight against Alexander Armstrong, but they probably couldn’t afford Sir David Jason. And it would at least allow for knowing winks to have Richard Osman on board.

Regardless of whether it's based on the original or reboot, so long as it has a physical release I'm all in!

@Tibob isnt that mighty mouse?

@Ogbert

Oooh very excited! I loved Danger Mouse growing up but re-watching the originals was a bit shocking, quite a lot of problematic stuff.

Is that the episode where they portrayed Chinese people as rats with goofy teeth and stereotypical Chinese "comedy" accents? :-/

Oh sorry, you guys are right : wrong mouse !
Andy Kaufman just pommed in my brain and there was no coming back

I loved Danger Mouse back in the day.. From the screenshots, this looks like it could be decent. If it is and does well, I'd love them to do a Duckula or Banaman game, so much potential.

On another note, why is there not a decent He-Man or Thundercats beat em up. Just think of the possibilities.

I looooved Nero, the pet of Baron Ekel von Etzmolch (German name of Baron Silas Greenback)

But I am a little careful about this news, as historically the Danger Mouse (and Count Duckula) games were not that good…

This could be great, will keep an eye on it.

@Tibob with a kaufman reference, its a "forgiven" from me... but it also makes it even more bemusing that he would know what was (i presume) a pretty obscure (but definitely big in england) kids cartoon... i know we had mighty in blighty 🤣

@OorWullie

Thundercats would be amazing. I'd love a Galaxy High game too, but probably too obscure as most people don't seem to remember this show.

@Tibob I think that’s Mighty Mouse!

Cripes, Chief!

No, but really. I am actually interested. Loved Danger Mouse as a kid. Had a music cassette tape that I would listen to nearly every night with 2 stories on it. It was that, and we would alternate with my brother's Spider-Man tape. I don't know why it was every night, but we never got bored of them.

Alexander Armstrong is an excellent actor. Though I have not seen the revival series, I am still interested in keeping an eye on this one.

Why create something new and original, when you can destroy the legacy of something that was great?

@Suketoudara That was one of them.
A product of it's time! Maybe in another 20 years we'll look back at the current reboot and cringe at some of the things in that.

@Markatron84 I'm not trying to throw muck or tarnish any reputations, but there are 'rumours' about David Jason that might put off people from involving him in a project nowadays.

I have no qualms with the revival series, and watched a good 20 or so episodes before drifting off to something else. I really should go back and watch the rest.
There was nothing wrong with it, IMHO.

Now.. licensed games based on BBC IP... That's a whole other issue.
Are there ANY good examples? .. Hitchhikers, and then.. um...

@gcunit ok, I'm going to have to look into that. I'm a huge David Jason fan and I'd like to know whether I shouldn't still be 😐

@MyMemory I haven't yet found a Who game that does the show justice. There's so much variation in the show, over the decades, you'd think they could've found something that could encompass everything in a nice way. Like, each Doctor has a different gameplay mechanic, and you have a ton of variation as you play through each doctor's adventures.
... Or would that be too much!?
Probably.

@Tibob thats "Mighty Mouse!"

@FatWormBlowsASparky close enough - and I remember that from my youth as well, so yes I know what that is! 🤣🤣🤣

Good old american cartoons on bbc/ channel 4 early mornings... and jayce (sic) and the wheeled warriors followed by pogwall 🤣

God im old 🤣

@MyMemory Die Hard Trilogy

@MyMemory The concept of "We can't make one game to fit all three movies, so let's make three different games" is kinda the solution that I think would work better for Who. Lots of differently styled games, one for each Doctor (or .. ..There are a lot, maybe 2 Doctors per game style) but their storylines would all come together to create a larger narrative.

I'm so confused....

This looks to be based on the reboot, which was great, but quickly cancelled.... a long time ago. .... So why this game now?

Also, toilet humor was never a part of Danger Mouse so like...... what??

@Jayenkai The Dr Who levels in Lego Dimensions were very good. I also liked that if you were playing as the Dr minifigure he regenerates when you die and there is some dialogue for every version of the Dr.

@Suketoudara With the announcement of the new He-Man beat em up just weeks after my comment saying I wish there was a He-Man beat em up,. Thundercats and Galaxy High games following, can't be ruled out.
