The Cartoon Network has a cavalcade of unique and fun cartoon characters under their umbrella – making us wonder why there aren’t more video games based on their properties. Cartoon Networks Punch Time Explosion XL is a console brawler/fighting game heavily influenced by Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros Melee (and/or Brawl) for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii. Gamers can play up to 26 characters from some of the Cartoon Network’s most popular franchises of all time including Johnny Bravo, Samurai Jack, Ben 10, The Powerpuff Girls and Dexter’s Laboratory.
Overall – Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion XL is a fun treat for the weekend fun – it comes at a discount price and often feels like it could have been released as a glorified DLC game. We’ve provided some sample gameplay for you to check out along with commentary by Andre Meadows aka Black Nerd Comedy – enjoy!

Sometimes the bargain bin is too lenient a punishment for achingly bad PlayStation games. Here’s the latest batch of gutter gaming, fit only for coaster duty, target practice or just plain throwing out of a car window at high speed, then reversing back over it.
I'm sure these games are aimed at little kids that still haven't begun to hate everything they look at yet,unlike OPM UK that hates everthing that isn't exclusive to PS3.
To be fair just because these games are aimed at kids doesn't mean they have to suck (which they do) I mean look at games like Ratchet & Clank,LittleBigPlanet and Mario.
All amazing games that aren't cheap cash ins and also appeal to adult gamers.
"Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion XL was released for the Wii on November 8, 2011, I believe with a MSRP of $29.99. It was also released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 the same day, both with a MSRP of $39.99. The game was developed by Papaya Studio and published by Crave Entertainment for its U.S. release, and it received an ESRB rating of "Everyone 10+" with "Animated Blood, Cartoon Violence, Crude Humor, Tobacco Reference" listed as content for gamers and parents to be aware of.
How many hours have U.S. Wii owners averaged brawling with cartoon characters in Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion XL since the game released? Brew yourself some coffee, and let's take a look!", writes CoffeeWithGames.
Johnny Bravo? Seriously this guy hasn't been relevant to CN for damn near a decade now.
Celebrating the successful launch of their home console beat-‘em-up title, Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion XL, O-Games has revealed a brand new trailer for the videogame. Featuring Samurai Jack, Johnny Bravo and Ben 10 in action, amongst many other classic Cartoon Network characters, the brand new trailer is available right here at Electronic Theatre.
Samurai Jack would be overpowered, simply being too awesome for the other characters.
He's not actually too bad. The whole thing is pretty well balanced, but there are too many of the Jigglypuff style characters that take a long time to learn.
Wheres the all the SSBM clone hate that the ps game is getting.
Powersuit Dexter would kick everyones ass.
I think the difference is that All-Stars refuses to admit it's a SSBM clone, whereas Punch Time out rightly says it - even on it's own website!
I like me some Samurai Jack.
