Title: Any more games coming?
Post by: VLoneWolf on December 11, 2012, 06:17:40 PM
I have't played the fist 2 but are they going to do any more?

At this point, it seems doubtful. I don't think The Hardy Boys video games did nearly as well as the Nancy Drew video games have done. Maybe the launch of The Hardy Boys Adventures series will spark some new interest in a new Hardy Boys video game though. Who knows? I have The Hardy Boys: Treasure on the Tracks video game for Nintendo DS. I beat that a while back and it's a pretty fun game. I also have the 2 PC video games- The Hardy Boys: The Hidden Theft and The Hardy Boys: The Perfect Crime, but I still have yet to beat these. (Sadly, I haven't really played them, though I've had them for a while now. I don't always seem to take as much time for video games nowadays, though I do still enjoy playing them when I can.)
I don't know if you're aware, but The Hardy Boys also show up in two of the Nancy Drew video games as playable characters- Nancy Drew: Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon and Nancy Drew: The Creature of Kapu Cave. I've got both of these as well. Maybe one day I'll beat all of them. :) 8)

I'm happy to just have these video games. I've been a long time fan of The Hardy Boys and I had never thought I'd see a video game for them- so it is nice to have the ones that we do have available. But as I said earlier, maybe the launch of the new book series will spark interest to get more released.

The Hardy's also show up in one of the earlier Nancy Drew games, #8 I believe, but they are only there as phone options, so they don't actually make appearances.  But it'll be interesting what happens, since while The Hidden Theft was nice (on both PC and Wii), The Perfect Crime was little more than a Where's Waldo adventure.  But it would be nice to see Nancy and the boys team up for another game.

That would be so cool to have more Hardy Boys video games. 8) And to be able to sleuth all you want would be awesome. 8)

Here's something I found online that I thought was pretty cool- :) 8)

Nice juxtaposition of the original and digital versions of The Hardy Boys. :)

Yeah- I'm wondering if that's a screenshot from the game that they made for the cell phone's wallpaper- that's pretty neat. :) 8)
Title: Re: Any more games coming?
Post by: Hardy Sleuth on January 10, 2013, 10:47:20 PM
Definitely a cool pic! 8) I recognize the wallpaper the person has there. The actual picture is from the Nancy Drew game Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon, one of the times the Hardy brothers were guests and here's (http://www.herinteractive.com/games/ded/ded_wallpaper18.jpg) the wallpaper download from Her Interactive for the newest game The Deadly Device . Frank and Joe are phone guests in that game. 8)

I hate that version of Joe, the version of him in "cave" was better. He looks too cartoony here, though Frank looks ok.

Eh- I don't have an issue with it. Is it the hair? I do agree that their later video game appearance is a bit more realistic though.
Title: Re: Any more games coming?
Post by: Judah-Ben-Hur on January 17, 2013, 03:03:45 PM
that hair!! XD Yes, partly. I wonder why they didn't do the paintings of characters like they did for the Cell Phone pictures in "Alibi in Ashes"
Title: Re: Any more games coming?
Post by: MacGyver on January 17, 2013, 03:06:55 PM
I'm not familiar with their looks in that game- do you have a screenshot somewhere perhaps?
Title: Re: Any more games coming?
Post by: Judah-Ben-Hur on January 17, 2013, 03:10:55 PM
oh the boys don't appear, but Ned and others do...  I don't remember the Hardy Boys being on Nancy's phone but I'll have to take a look. Everyone with the exception of Nancy and Carson Drew had a sort of thumbnail painting of their face. (Bess , George , Ned, etc.)
Title: Re: Any more games coming?
Post by: MacGyver on January 17, 2013, 04:01:57 PM
Oh, okay. I don't have any of the Nancy Drew PC games beyond the two that actually feature The Hardy Boys as playable characters.
Title: Re: Any more games coming?
Post by: Judah-Ben-Hur on January 17, 2013, 05:06:33 PM
I have a ton :D Though I admit "Cave" is one of my least favorites.
Title: Re: Any more games coming?
Post by: Hardy Sleuth on January 17, 2013, 08:37:33 PM
I'm hoping that Her Interactive, being so talented with having exciting, cool games, like Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon and Danger on Deception Island and Ransom of the Seven Ships and several other favorites, will get the rights to have a Hardy Boys game, I think that would be great. ;D 8) I believe it would do very well. :)

They did do one "Treasure on Track" for the Nintendo DS system, but I'm holding hope for a PC version akin to the style of ND.

I have The Hardy Boys: Treasure on the Tracks video game, even though I don't own a Nintendo DS. But I used someone else's at their house and beat the game. It was pretty fun! :) 8)
And I do have the two Hardy Boys video games for PC of course.
Title: Re: Any more games coming?
Post by: Judah-Ben-Hur on January 17, 2013, 11:27:40 PM
I have Hidden Theft but I've not really had the time to take it for a spin. Though word of mouth is that Her Interactive quality it ain't.

Yep, thanks, I know about the fun Treasure on the Tracks for the Nintendo DS, I was saying that I hope they get the rights to do the PC games like the Nancy Drew games I'd mentioned. :) What are your favorite ND PC games? :)

The Hardy Boys game and the Nancy Drew games were the main reasons I wanted Nintendo. ;D Congrats on winning, MacGyver! ;D 8)

The Haunted Carousel , Blue Moon, Ghost Dogs from the top of my head. I like them all for the most part, save "cave" since your stuck as Nancy for most of it, and doing boring work like sorting bug poop isn't my idea of "Exciting Adventure".

I have seen the trailer for The Creature of the K cave. I can't spell the name sorry.

Kapu Cave was kinda fun, but all Nancy's chores got boring after a while... :P

Those are some of our favorites, too! 8) Lol, I'm definitely not a fan of bug poop, either. :P One part I thought was neat about the cave game is Frank scuba diving, that's pretty intense! 8)

Well, no more new Hardy Boys video games to report, but apparently Her Interactive recently released this Hardy Boys pillowcase, utilizing the likenesses from The Hardy Boys' appearances in their Nancy Drew games. (At least I assume that's where the image is derived.) Um, yeah- maybe the girls will appreciate this one- lol. And maybe if I was a young boy still, I might be more excited to have a Hardy Boys bedsheets set. ;D
