It's awfully poetic that the company responsible for establishing the "Nintendo Seal of Quality" is now allowing borderline unplayable browser quality games on their digital store. Obviously it's not Nintendo's fault for the quality of these games, but should they be held accountable for allowing them on their store? There are several underrated gems on the eShop, some of which have been made by GAF members, and it's upsetting to know that those games will be overlooked because the marketplace is saturated with garbage like The Letter. Sounds like the Atari 2600 all over again only in digital form. While it may be true that nobody has to buy these games, all they do is give the platform an even worse reputation than it already has. And you know that some little kid is going to be suckered into buying Meme Run.

NintendoWorldReport said:Flapp & Zegeta is the game nobody asked for. It tried to make Flappy Bird more complex, but it failed in every way possible. The terrible presentation and the broken physics are one thing, but losing what makes Flappy Bird fun is unforgivable. While it is unusual for me to mention a price, the developers felt it was necessary to charge $4.99 for this. Well, you get nothing. Good day sir!

NintendoLife said:Flapp & Zegeta is a cynical attempt to cash in on the success of Flappy Bird, and it doesn't even attempt to disguise its intentions. The presentation is beyond lazy, the graphics are atrocious, and the game would have had to make a concentrated effort to be less fun than it already is. If paying $4.99 — at launch — for the recycled remains of a fad sounds like your cup of tea, then you're probably a masochist — the only audience we can safely assume this was made for in the first place.

Cubed3 said:The cost of this game is $1.99, yet users on Miiverse still feel ripped off. Eli Brewer had originally promised free updates, but has since gone silent, leaving all his customers feeling very disgruntled. As to why Brewer would release the game in this state instead of completing it first, alludes to the possibility he has no intention of completing The Letter. The game is punctuated by an ending that completely betrays and grates on the audience, delivered in the clumsiest way since the movie Monster a Go-Go. The Indiegogo campaign for The Letter began on March 5th, 2014, but got closed March 20th, only earning $377 for its $5,000 goal. Judging by the pitch video that was first shown as early as March 5th, the final product looks identical to the pitch that was used for the Indiegogo campaign. Eli Brewer is a hack fraud, con artist and his game is a scam.

Nintendo Life said:The Letter isn’t just paper thin, it’s a half-formed thought scribbled almost illegibly across a post-it note. With a plot that never goes anywhere, gameplay that’s practically non-existent and cringe-worthy production values, we can’t help but wonder how this even made it onto the Wii U eShop. It functions, but it’s so disjointed, underdeveloped and brief that there’s no reason to give it your attention. Warn your friends, write it off, and then move on.

Nintendo Life said:With releases like Meme Run, Nintendo needs to start taking a hard look at its eShop policies on the Wii U. This is a game that simply should not have been released, and certainly not for its outlandish asking price. There is no reason to purchase Meme Run — not for a laugh, not for a good time, not for anything. Stay away from this miserable game and spend your hard-earned money and time elsewhere.
