In 1992, The Simpsons made their Super Nintendo debut with Bart’s Nightmare. The new 16-bit platform allowed for increased graphics, which was met with mixed reviews. The game follows Bart as he falls asleep doing homework and is transported to a dreamscape in which he must navigate to return home. Divided between a side-scrolling adventure and various shoot-em-up mini-games, Bart goes through his own variations include Bartzilla, Bartman, and Indiana Bart. Of all the previous video game adaptations, Bart’s Nightmare takes things to the strangest of places yet as he faces down TVs, pixies, and even Homer Kong.
Do we know if Hulu will be the only entity to have the dub, or if it will be on other platforms, too? The show in general is definitely going to be on multiple platforms.
