About SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom and Fairly OddParents:Breakin' Da Rules Game Boy Advance Double Pack:

In SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom, the evil Plankton has set in motion his most diabolical plot ever to take over the world. The fate of Bikini Bottom has been put in the hands (or small tentacles) of our unsuspecting heroes - SpongeBob, Patrick, Sandy Cheeks, Squidward, Mr. Krabs and Gary. Players will encounter familiar friends as they explore huge worlds, looking for hidden items to unlock bonus games, completing puzzles and mini-games, soaking up SpongeBob humor, and finally putting an end to Plankton's rotten scheme.

In The Fairly OddParents: Breakin' Da Rules, "Da Rules" book (the ultimate guide to having Fairy God Parents) has disappeared, leaving Cosmo and Wanda without their magical powers. The player, as Timmy, enters 12 levels in four diverse environments based on the TV series.

About Walt Disney Pictures presentations of Pixar Animation Studios' films Finding Nemo and Monsters, Inc. Game Boy Advance Double Pack:

Finding Nemo follows the exciting adventures of Nemo and all the beloved characters from the Academy Award®-winning film. Play as Nemo and join the tank gang in their plan to escape from the dentist office. Players also can dive in for the ultimate underwater adventure as Dory and Marlin navigate their way through the jellyfish forest, escape from Bruce the shark and ride the Eastern Australian current with the sea turtles. The search for Nemo is on!

In a Walt Disney Pictures presentation of a Pixar Animation Studios' film Monsters, Inc. players assume the role of Sulley, Monsters, Inc.'s top "Scarer." After Sulley accidentally lets a little girl (nick-named Boo) into the monster world, it's his mission to return her home safely. Using Sulley's laugh launcher to defend themselves, players will explore different monster world environments in more than 20 levels including restaurant buildings, the scream factory and the neighborhood streets of Monstropolis.

Whoa, dish out double the pain by giving your children the new bad game dual packs from THQ, the company that brought you ValuSoft.

Twice the suckage, twice the crap! The ideal gift for your hated ones. Coming soon: THQ's quad packs, enough sucking power to create a miniature black hole!

I haven't played it, but wasn't Finding Nemo a well liked game?

THQ's been doing this over here for well over a year now. And apart from the odd Pokemon title, they're the only GBA games that make the sales charts in Australia. ;__;
