I did, but only after Segata pointed out how stupid we all were.
What I mean by read is, actually clicked the link and looked at the picture.

The highpoint of that game for me was using the machinegun to shoot the mutant taxi-driver's head off.
I actually thought that was more screwed up than what happened to that guy in the movie.

Do any PAL'ers have any of those games? It'd be like the BK games here?
weird, I just skipped past spike tv and some halo 3 thing is on and some guy with a NEOGAF sign around his neck asked how much some armor weighed.

What's the taxi game look like?
Why exactly is it a bad thing that they let people develop that stuff? If it's not a good game, don't buy it.
Do you really want Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft choosing what games you're allowed to play?

My mistake. They've expressed these sorts of complaints in the past on 1UP/EGM podcasts. It was entirely plausible that it finally made its way from an ill-conceived idea into an ill-conceived article.Grecco said:

This thread is amusing me for what I suppose are all the wrong reasons.

Yeah, I find it odd how gamers and the press complain about these companies censoring AO-rated games like Manhunt since they're not allowed on their systems, yet they want them to choose which games should be released. The more creative freedom developers have, the better. Good developers will take advantage of that, but with that freedom comes opportunistic publishers releasing pure crap for a quick buck. Blame the publishers, complain about Phoenix games and IMAGINE DOLPHYNZ like we're doing. The EGMs and IGNs should do what they do and criticize these crappy games and the buying public should ignore them.

Microsoft and Sony wish they had this content. Like it or not, shovelware sells systems. Just ask the PS2.

I read your post as "this article is a joke, its an insult to Nintendo", not as "this article is a joke, I actually know whats going on". Let me excuse myself then.

I always hear this brought up on 1Up Yours, and I can't help but shake my head. Does no one remember how much shit was released for the NES? Hell, 1UY even had a segment on it a while back. Jeopardy 25th, the buggiest freaking game I've ever played, has it. The Nintendo Seal of Quality never meant anything, get over it.
No they don't. The mountain of utter crapola headed to Wii and DS is amazing. Very little of it would pass certification at SCEA, and certainly not at Microsoft.DeaconKnowledge said:
This should be an interesting article. I think Nintendo will hurt its brand in the long run by exercising zero quality control.
The article is a joke for many reasons, not the least of which is that the question cited in the title of this topic has been asked ever since the NES days. Remember shit like Chubby Cherub? There were more garbage games on the NES than there are on the Wii. Does EGM think they are clever asking something that every game fan has asked sometime over the course of the past two decades?

I'm still laughing here.
Anyway, in all seriousness, if you want to crap on Hannah Montana 2 DS, you're going through me first.

Okay, as much as I'm getting a good chuckle out of this, I'm going to try and put out the fire a bit.
The article is a Seanbaby "Rest of the Crap" style piece. For those familiar with Seanbaby, you ought to know the appropriate response. For those who are not, taking Seanbaby seriously would be like getting your Iraq war coverage from Bozo the Clown.

I think the point is that, in this day and age, SCEA and Microsoft enforce meaningful certification standards, whereas Nintendo has apparently chosen not to.White Man said:
My guess is that they are not very interested in discouraging the perception that third party titles on their platforms are generally crap.

Don't confuse the economic infeasibility to low-budget crap developers of making and releasing high-def shovelware as "meaningful certification standards".

Yeah... why not a black van?Red Scarlet said:
yeah, why talk about Wii crap and not from other systems? Because Wii appears to be the market leader and as such, hardcore gamers like the guys at EGM demand good quality content in what appears to be the console of people´s choice. In my own personal impression, the tie ratio from big budget, good games to crappy shovelware is like 20 to 1whereas with PS2, it felt like it was 10 to 1. I know you'll say " taken out from your ass" but it really feels that way. 3rd parties aren't trying, at all.
I for one approve EGM being outspoken about Wii getting too much crap. 3rd parties need some kind of wake up call so that they bring decent content to the platform, they have been, for the most part, a complete disaster.
I don't need to remind anyone here of the atrocities we've seen in Wii screenshots threads. It's o.k to have shovelware, every system has it but it comes to a point that 3rd parties are treating the wii like a garbage dump.
If this is a " 3rd parties, measure up or get the fuck out of here " kind of article, I am all for it, seriously.

Oh yes, it is, Ive seen it for £5 many times, never sells I bet.
Also, how many times do people need to say it, the Nintendo Seal was created to counter the causes of the 1983 video games crash, clones, unlicensed interopability of consoles and piracy, NOT "All games must be as good as Mario Galaxy"
Also, EGM, get a fucking clue, shovelware follows a successful system, PS1/2 had shedloads for it, GC...not so much, now Wii does, and will receive much more, you work it out.

Ok, that video made me choke, not out of laughter mind you, out of horror, that was on PS2? My god Pheonix games, what the hell were you thinking, it puts the "Car Vault" pics into perspective, at least that has some texture work, haha.
