Cartoon Network’s cartoons have marked whole generations thanks to their characteristic humor, charismatic characters and creative stories. Launched in the 1990s in the United States, Cartoon Network is a subscription television network focused mainly on animations.
After the initial success on American soil, it quickly expanded to other countries, including Brazil.
Over time, the channel started to invest in its own productions, known as the “Cartoon Cartoons”, which gave rise to successes as The Dexter Laboratory, The superpowered girls, Adventure time, Ben 10among many others.
With such popularity, it was natural for these characters to jump from TV to video games. Next, we listed 8 game titles based on the channel’s animated series that stood out.
