Support NeoGAF

[GreatMightySymp]

Well, at least the Wii U's getting third party developers on board. (/s)

Jokes aside, I'll be amazed if that gets through considering how many copyright issues that has going for it.

 

[Ultimadrago]

"SWAEG"

 

[Neiteio]

The second vid was oddly hypnotic

 

[desmax]

 

[SenorArdilla]

Nintendo's really reaching for that XBox Indie Arcade market.

 

[Marcus]

welp we have nothing to look forward to for the next 5 years. game of the generation right here folks. you heard it from me first

 

[jmizzal]

The second vid was oddly hypnotic

Lol just looked at the 2nd video, haha he has snoop dog, no way this passes with all the copyright infringements

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

This makes The Letter look like Resident Evil 4 in comparison.

 

[Sylverstone14]

My biggest question to the developer... could you really look at YOUR game independently and honestly purchase it, based off its merits as a video game?

I can't even muster that kind of honesty for my own hobby projects yet.

This is not how I envisioned the Wii U eShop to be at all, especially considering how much of a far cry it is from the WiiWare days. And the sad thing is that there are great games there which people like you should notice, yet garbage like this gets the attention. Sickening.

 

[Starphoenix]

This is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Not to mention the game looks like pure garbage.

 

[Remark]

Game looks amazing. Will defiantly pick up when it drops.

Support the developer guys! A lot of hard work went into this project

Spoiler

swag game crazy

Wiiware was a mountain of gold compared to the turds coming out for the Wii U eShop.

 

[Reversed]

This is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Why? Are there perhaps copyrighted memes?

 

[BennyBlanco]

2nd vid was hilarious. No way this gets through QA though. X files theme, Sandstorm, snoop, etc. He even took those airhorn remixes straight from leddit.

 

[cafemomo]

Ayy lmao

 

[Sylverstone14]

Wiiware was a mountain of gold compared to the turds coming out for the Wii U eShop.

Like I said, crap games which take the spotlight away from better eShop games.

Obviously WiiWare had time to sort itself out (plus they had a ton of measures in place to mostly avoid shovelware titles), but the Nintendo eShop probably left the door a little bit too open and now we're slowly creeping to XBLIG levels of garbage which really should be stopped.

So yeah, no shit, Sherlock.

 

[J-Tier]

Will buy soundtrack.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Axe this shit

 

[Piercedveil]

Amazing. The second video sold me on it.

 

[Persona7]

all good memes are copyrighted

 

[kick51]

all good memes are copyrighted

>good memes
>greentexting outside of reddit Kappa

 

[Drkirby]

Isn't this thing breaking intellectual property rights with some of its sound effects?

 

[Kevyt]

This gif is very appropriate!

That's me right there after seeing what Meme Run is all about. And yes that's how I chew my food... don't judge :3

 

[machemachete]

Videogames as art

 

[SoulUnison]

Jeezus, it's like a game intended as a torture device.

"Are we sure this is a game and not some art film?"

Isn't this thing breaking intellectual property rights with some of its sound effects?

Yeah, somehow I doubt they licensed Sandstorm and the X-Files theme, just to start.

 

[Burt]

This is absolutely hilarious and makes an excellent case for games as art. I mean that with absolute sincerity.

Digital Foundry face off: Meme Run for Wii U vs GIF Keyboard for iOS

verdict: GIF keyboard runs at a higher framerate and resolution

 

[Beren the Empty-Handed]

Which circle of Hell is this, Virgil?

 

[kick51]

Which circle of Hell is this, Virgil?

the one just above DmC

 

[pinkurocket]

This almost feels like some kind of messed up social experiment.

actually meme runners been confirmed to be 60 FPS on Wii U.

 

[uncredited male]

There were no cats in those videos.

 

[KingJolly]

Nintendo going the way of the dodo

 

[PAULINK]

I'm going to buy this and there's nothing you can do about it.

 

[stilgar]

Jesus christ, ninty. Have some dignity.

Lol

What the hell

 

[Kevtones]

Will buy. Support indie devs!

 

[Fantastical]

Can't wait to see this during the next Tree House live stream.

 

[Death Metalist]

I'd play it. Seems like a fucked up version of Bit.Trip.Runner

 

[Takao]

i hope the credits sequence is set to rick astley

 

[DooD1234]

Umm, why is everyone giving Nintendo a hard time when Steam and the Apple App Store release just as much garbage. I can't help but feel bad for indie Gaf guy here (one who made that tower defense game call Zalcisa Last Stand I think?) gets WAAAYY less attention than these garbage games I prolly won't even care to notice before threads like these get made.

Anyways, if most indie games could get their game easily publish, I hope that Ghostsong guy(another Indie from Gaf) manage to get his game on the Wii U eShop. From what little of I've seen of that game, I think that deserves some attention.

 

[Glass Joe]

I'm not as offended as some that crap like this exists. It just needs to be hidden in the darker corners of the eShop and not featured all over the WaraWara Plaza like IQ Test and The Letter were. I suppose Ninty has to do a better job of showcasing which of the micro indies actually deserve representation.

 

[Loco4Coco]

What's with overreaction? It's only one game on the eshop.

 

[Jotamide]

GOTY 2014

Scholars will look back to this game as a postmodern critique of games. Move aside Journey, this if art.

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

Is it bad that I laughed when the wombo combo started?

EDIT: That gameover theme sounds familiar...

It's a pretty popular "sarcastic sadness" sound clip.

This looks like it was made in under an hour.

 

[Putosaure]

The game doesn't need the Seal of Quality to seem utterly bad...

 

[Darth_Caedus]

I...I think some of my brain cells committed suicide.

 

[gundalf]

Very discouraging when you are working on a quality Game and see others pumping out garbage and still making good money -.-

 

[MattPeters]

I dont see any fedora tipping or m'ladies. Bomba confirmed.

 

[frankie_baby]

As I said in the other thread I found it very amusing and will buy if it's cheap enough, I buy plenty of good indie games for my Wii U too so I can throw a quid at this

 

[frankie_baby]

What's with overreaction? It's only one game on the eshop.

Exactly, eshop games that could be considered terrible cash grabs currently number in single digits, even if the floodgates open we'll still be talking (as a personal guess) at say less than 100 games, it's not like there isn't countless quality titles for people to buy instead
