Big Hero 6: Battle in the Bay

Big Hero 6: Battle in the Bay is a 2014 platform video game developed by 1st Playable Productions and published by GameMill Entertainment. It is based on movie mh:greatestmovies:Big Hero 6, which in turn, is based off the Marvel comic book series of the same name. It was the last game ever released for the mh:awesomegames:Nintendo DS, however, this, alongside Frozen: Olaf's Quest, were re-released together onto a single Nintendo DS cartridge in 2015, as well as a Nintendo 3DS physical and digital release.

Why It's No Battle

 * 1) Boring, generic, and repetitive gameplay therefore not being fun to play.
 * 2) While the 3DS version had way better graphics, the DS version's graphics are hideous, especially considering when there are DS games that look better than this like New Super Mario Bros., a game that was released years before this. The DS version looks on par with Cory in the House.
 * 3) The character icons look like they were from the mh:awesomegames:Sega Genesis or Super Nintendo on the DS version.
 * 4) Very bad soundtrack that sounds like stock music heard in YouTube with the DS version sounding worse than even the worst sounding GBA game. It's so bad, it may hurt your ears.
 * 5) False advertising: The back says an army of robots but it's less than an army of robots. The trailer also states that the game is action packed (which it's not), and that you can play as the stars of the film, but Hiro, Wasabi, Fred, and GoGo are playable but only on certain levels, Baymax is an assist character, Honey Lemon provides power-ups, and Alistair Krei, Tadashi (though it's understandable considering he died), Aunt Cass, and Mr. Callaghan who are also stars of the film aren't even in the game at all.
 * 6) The first boss is too difficult, even for a game aimed at kids.
 * 7) The games are just poor reskins/ripoffs of the DS versions of Ben 10 Protector of Earth/Vilgax Attacks/Alien Force/Omniverse 1 and the 3DS versions of the 2 Omniverse games, all those were developed by the same developer. Even though they were developed by the same company, the Ben 10 DS and 3DS games are actually really fun and enjoyable games, while this game is not that fun to play.
 * 8) Hiro is too weak as it takes a ton of hits from him to take down an enemy.
 * 9) When you start attacking for a long time on one enemy, a hit counter appears, but it doesn't have much of a point unlike other games with hit counters.
 * 10) Long and boring levels with boring design.
 * 11) Releasing a Nintendo DS game in 2014 is too late, because the system's lifespan was dying out. Even worse, there are no Microsoft Windows and home console versions.
 * 12) Despite this, the game only lasts 2 and 1/2 hours.
 * 13) The cover art is awful. It's just a bunch of character renders slapped onto an image with a generic font.
 * 14) There is a glitch where you can't fully jump when you're touching a wall.
 * 15) Unlike Ben 10: Omniverse, there is no 3D mode.
 * 16) The DS version had no reason to exist, as the ds was getting discontinued.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) All the heroes have their abilities.
 * 2) All the heroes have an important role in the game despite only Hiro, GoGo, Wasabi, and Fred being playable as Honey Lemon and Baymax are assistance.
 * 3) The abilities match their character in the game.
 * 4) As mentioned, the 3DS version had way better graphics.
 * 5) GoGo's theme is quite good in the DS version.

Reception
The game received generally negative reviews. Nintendo Life gave the game a 4/10 calling it a bit of a mess. They said it fits comfortable in the classic beat 'em up style but the classic genre doesn't do much to make it worthwhile as they called the combat repetitive, platforming inpercise, and the presentation as a whole too much to be desired.

Trivia

 * This along side Frozen: Olaf's Quest, Lego Friends and Winx Club: Saving Alfea were some of the last (physical) games released for the Nintendo DS. In fact, they released both this and Frozen: Olaf's Quest together in a single cartridge the following year, in which that was the last DS cartridge (not game) ever made.
