DHGF: Nickelodeon Nicktoons MLB 3D is a surprisingly fun mashup of classic Nickelodeon cartoon characters and the MLB license. The engine is a very solid one and it plays like most arcade baseball titles. The graphics are a little weak, as it’s mostly a straight port of the DS version, and the commentary can get annoying, as there is very little voice acting recorded for it, but if you’re looking for a nice little baseball title for your 3DS, you’ve got one right here. Of course, it’s the only option for the system, so it’s a good thing the game is a decently made one. Baseball purists might be mad that you have to have Nicktoons on your team and that only about half of each MLB team’s roster is in the game, but then that’s not the target market here. I myself would have liked to had the ability to track stats and make lineup changes once the game is in session, but what’s here should sate baseball fans until something better finally comes along for the system
A gimmicky crossover that strikes out in both presentation and performance, with frustrating mechanics that make it difficult to recommend.

If you absolutely must have a kid-friendly arcade baseball game with Nickelodeon characters in it to play on the go, then maybe you’ll be interested in this game if you have the 3DS. Otherwise, stick with the home console version, it has much better production quality, a better pace, and trying to hit won’t make you want to swing your bat at inanimate objects out of spite.
"Without realizing it, 2K Play has taken after Disney by releasing a 3DS iteration of a DS game that made more mistakes than accomplishments. The similarly inattentive approaches seen in both this and Cars 2: The Video Game leaves me wondering if the respective development teams actually work in the same office. Unlike Cars 2, though, Nicktoons MLB 3D actually makes some changes to the original game, which is nice to see. However, the overall performance of this title sends a message about what happens when more concern isn't shown when developing a licensed game for a younger target." -- Wiiloveit.com
Heh, sort of silly art. Definitely not my kind of game - not in the least, but interesting art nonetheless.
