Fun fact: Hamtaro actually is not a Video Game Character. He originated from a manga/anime series. Lots of people know Hamtaro, but only because of his video games
Anyone here old enough to have heard of this show?

Hamtaro was very popular show among kids in my country. When I was young most people in my school know Hamtaro. This reminds me of the viral story in my country about a guy asking is it that strange that his gf humming Hamtaro theme song when they have sex.

20 years ago is a long time, most people here won't touch anything older then 5 years, let alone 10.
Matthew Lewis
Does he still get games or something?
I remember talking about it in Gradeschool, its old user.
I can't remember what I was trying to watch when I had to sit through Hamtaro though, it might have been Zoids Chaotic Century.

I used to watch it with my sister. I remember it was fun. Pic related was my favorite.

I used to watch and dance to the ending credits as a kid

I'm pretty sure he is way more popular as a anime character than a videogame character.
I would believe something like people beliving that SEGA created Miku, but the Hamtaro anime was popular enough to be remembered.
Adam Jackson
The games were more remembered.
Charles Taylor
Hamtoro had games?
Joseph Cruz
It bothered me how they made their heads bigger and bigger. They were cuter before.

Modern newfags were barely born then, if even that.
Austin Wilson
I didn't know there is a videogame. I used to watch the anime on tv.

Wow I didn't realize people didn't know about the anime, or the games. I always loved both.
Ham-Ham Heartbreak is legitimately a great game, everyone should check it out. It's made by AlphaDream, the studio behind the Mario & Luigi games. They recently closed down tho, RIP.
Parker Jenkins
Thats Rainbow Rescue, Ham-Ham Heartbreak is from Pax Softnica.
Andrew Howard
Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite is the best game.

Really? I thought it was the other way around. Anyway, I loved the show as a kid. I would get comfy and watch it before school without a single worry in the world. Fuck, those were the days.
Wyatt Long
Except for maybe Pokemon, they don't have mainstream cute animal series anymore, do they?

Do you people only know of mobile gacha games? Because the Hamtaro games were pretty big back in their day.

>He originated from a manga/anime series.
It's pretty debatable if Hamtaro was even a manga. It's more akin to a children's storybook than a comic, so I've seen it classified as both.
Jayden Perry
Most people just call it a manga, especially later on in the book's run where it's panels resemble more of that to a manga.
Luke Parker
The exact opposite is true. Toonami ensured that the show was known in relevant land (USA), the games are cult classics at most.
Ethan Gonzalez
Wait. There's video games? I used to watch the show every morning before going to college
Lucas Gonzalez
What the fuck are you on about? I watched Hamtaro every day before school on Cartoon Network.
Isaac Hall
I remember watching it on Cartoon Network, I never knew it was anime until much later

IIRC there were three manga published (in English) by Viz Media. The page you posted comes from the second manga, and if you take a look at the entire thing as well as the first manga they do resemble something more of a children's story. The third manga (pic related) does resemble more of that to a manga but all three have elements of a manga desu. I take it there was Western influence involved.
Isaac Bailey
If anything by Zig Forums's words the show is a cult classic at best while the games ensured that the IP was kept relevant outside of Japan.
