Princess Natasha is an Adobe Flash cartoon that premiered in 2003 on KOL, which was a section of the AOL program that later got a website. The show centers around the title character, who is a princess of a fictional country named Zoravia. A man named Lubek was in line to be the next king, but the citizens of Zoravia unanimously voted against him. Lubek traveled to the USA(specifically Illinois) to launch a series of attacks against Zoravia. Natasha is also a secret agent and is sent undercover to Illinois disguised as a foreign exchange student to stop Lubek’s attacks. The episodes required Adobe Flash to watch, but none of the pages that episodes are loaded off of are archived in the Wayback Machine. The show got a DVD release with 16 episodes, but there are still 28 episodes that weren’t released on dvd or viewable on YouTube. Something also worth mentioning is that the show was later broadcast on Cartoon Network.
As soon as I saw the art style of this show memories came back to me of seeing the Game Boy Advanced game at a local game store when I was a kid. I didn't look at the box much back then, but something about the art style was eye catching, I recall wondering if it was a cartoon tie-in game of something. I never saw the show back then (despite watching a lot of Cartoon Network at the time, never had KOL) or even played the game. I never thought about Princess Natasha again until seeing this thread, so thanks for unlocking some good memories.
Interestingly after looking at the back of GBA game box art now, there's also the Nintendo DS logo on it, so was there also a Princess Natasha game for DS or is the box just pointing out that you can play GBA on NDS? I'm thinking the latter.
I'm definitely interested in watching this show, it's short and apparently has a lot of nostalgic voice actors in it (Veronica Taylor, etc.) There is a playlist of episodes uploaded to youtube, the title says completed but certainly is this really all of the episodes? It seems odd to me that season 1 would have 10 episodes while season 2 would only have 6. www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaOLEUhoFPWW7mGICsFHpLfY2dDcf3NAn These episodes should be added to the Internet Archive asap. I hope we can find the rest of the show and more people join the search.

i believe those are the 16 episodes available on the DVD
Hopefully, the remaining 28 lost episodes can be released officially, it is possible that someone screen-recorded the episodes or saved them some other way, but I think the best way to get these released would be to contact the rights holders and encourage them to upload all of the episodes to youtube or another streaming service. It could be very persuasive to let them know that short animation like this could be quite successful in today's animation market, this new generation likes quick, short online animation like this and that could make Princess Natasha more successful than before on social media and video platforms.

OK I knew about this show and how watching the intro was like watching the full show, but I had no idea it was lost. I also didn't know it had a GBA game. I'm gonna have to get that and play it.

I'd recommend getting the DS version, if you have a DS. The DS version has save slots, but the GBA version only has passwords. They are pretty much the same besides that.
