Santa Claus Jr. Advance

Santa Claus Jr. Advance is a 2002 platformer published by JoWooD Entertainment and developed by Neon Studios for the Game Boy Advance. The game is a sequel of Santa Claus Junior, which was released for the Game Boy Color, and sees the titular character retrieve stolen Christmas presents from a wicked witch who has turned them into evil sentient beings.

While I couldn’t find much on the game’s reception or any general reviews, the longplay video (above) suggests this game didn’t do that well and looked kinda slow and boring, which is a shame. It also looks too similar to the GBC game despite having a bigger palette and faux-3D capabilities. But if you want an inoffensive Christmas game for your Game Boy Advance… maybe play it by other means *wink, wink*.
