"We have no idea if these $20 games will be any good (Spoiler alert: They won't)"
lolz =O
Neon Jebus @ Dec 31st 2007 9:54AM
Mmmmm, it's a smorgasbord of shovelware! Get it while it's hot...but please excuse the smell.
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Dec 31st 2007 9:55AM
sigh,
it's depressing that developers are still doing this. come on now, I think you guys can put a little more effort into making these games. Maybe then you won't have to blame Nintendo for your games sucking.
Crono (NDF - Knight of the Old School) @ Dec 31st 2007 10:16AM
Developers will always do this. There's still shovelware being released for the PS2.
Fernando Rocker @ Dec 31st 2007 10:36AM
Dragon Ball Z is still and will always be fucking great.
mattclarkie @ Dec 31st 2007 12:39PM
With a console with appeal like the Wii it will happen alot. With consoles that are more expensive to develop for and niche like the 360 and PS3 there will be a few, but much fewer.
Rob Accomando @ Dec 31st 2007 9:55AM
thing is, people are probably buying these games. Clueless parents mostly, imo.
Patrick @ Dec 31st 2007 11:17AM
week after xmas? my kid wouldnt get anything until february
Jerk Face @ Dec 31st 2007 10:01AM
Kidz Sports - You know your children will love it because there is a fucking Z in it!
xFenixKnightx @ Dec 31st 2007 10:05AM
They should have named it the Nintendo Zii =)
Zee what I just did there?
FOXHOUND @ Dec 31st 2007 10:05AM
Worked for Dragon Ball. :x
Jerk Face @ Dec 31st 2007 10:07AM
The only thing good about Dragon Ball is that no one cares about it anymore.
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Dec 31st 2007 10:16AM
Oh yeah? Well no one cares about you.
Ya jerk.
*sobs in a corner*
Jerk Face @ Dec 31st 2007 10:19AM
Aww. I'm sorry, buddy. If it helps, I embarrassingly still like Ska.
Jerk Face @ Dec 31st 2007 10:19AM
And Oreos.
Tamer Brad @ Dec 31st 2007 10:28AM
Even Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, fucking hates Dragon Ball Z.
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Dec 31st 2007 10:29AM
Ok.
Now I won't have to blast you into the...NEXT DIMENSION!!!
danny. @ Dec 31st 2007 10:30AM
Liking ska is not embarassing.
Jerk Face @ Dec 31st 2007 10:31AM
@ Tamer Brad
I haven't laughed that hard in my entire life. You are the winner, sir. (+)
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Dec 31st 2007 10:34AM
@tamer
After the namek saga he hated Dragonballz. The show was supposed to end with Goku dying when Namek exploded. But thanks to the retarded fans, we got an extra 200 episodes. I mean I don't mind, but I can see why Akira would start to hate his own creation.
Fernando Rocker @ Dec 31st 2007 10:37AM
Dragon Ball Z is still and will always be fucking great.
=)
xFenixKnightx @ Dec 31st 2007 10:38AM

Dont Fret buddy, I and about a million bujillion others are still DBZ fans. GT not so much...
BPM - The 3rd Strike @ Dec 31st 2007 12:16PM
I only liked DBZ up until the Saiyan Saga.
The Frieza Saga last for TOO DAMN LONG.
Although, the show had two other worthwhile points to me beyond that:
1) Ginyu Force. AKA the Interplanetary Village People
2) Fat Majin Buu. Dude was hilarious.
Oh, and the Orbs of Doom are inert.
Brad Lee @ Dec 31st 2007 6:10PM
Vegeta,
I was a superfan of DBZ, like hardcore to the max... UNTIL the Cell Saga, that just destroyed everything for me.
What's sad is I actually liked Trunks, but everything else about it was terrible. Ok... when Tien went nuts with his triangle attack thingie, that was pretty cool. Other than that though, it was just bad.
Eventually I gave up and couldn't watch it anymore...
SoulBlade @ Dec 31st 2007 10:04AM
All of these games look fantastic. AAA quality indeed.
... sigh.
Burritoclock @ Dec 31st 2007 10:06AM
Not Just Rig Racer, it's the highly anticipated follow-up Rig Racer 2!!!!!!!
Anyone want to bet the first four game are almost identical but with different vehicles?
xFenixKnightx @ Dec 31st 2007 10:11AM
Fernando is gonna have a ball this week =)
Jerk Face @ Dec 31st 2007 10:21AM
Ha ha...
Poor Fernando.
Fernando Rocker @ Dec 31st 2007 10:38AM
=(
Raikage (Wii FC 5508 0487 4434 0992) @ Dec 31st 2007 3:28PM
JAJA I was drinkin' some soda and it almost came out my nose when I read that, sorry Fernando...XD
zelderman @ Dec 31st 2007 10:14AM
I work at a Circuit City in town and hate to see uninformed, stupid parents looking at these kinds of games. This and those stupid, stupid plastic Wiimote shells for Wii Sports. I try to tell them not to waste money on pieces of shit like that. Dumb parents, glad mine were smart and never got me shit like that for xmas, bday, etc.
Rocketboy @ Dec 31st 2007 10:20AM
I know the feeling. I was one of the 'lucky' ones who received the two pack of Ninjabread Man and Billy the Wizard. Yes, the person who bought the games for me thought that they were doing good (wow! two games for less then the price of one, what a deal), and after a trip to the returns counter, I've been able to reinvest into Super Swing Golf Season 2, so it's sort of a wash. Now I just have to pretend that I enjoyed the games.
playwhutyalike (hates games lists) @ Dec 31st 2007 10:58AM
Whenever I'm at my local whore store (pick any huge chain of shopping centers) I like to point parents out in the right direction. "Oh, you have a five year old? May I recommend San Andreas for the PS2 or PC? Yeah, don't mind that AO, it means Awesome Obligation."
Just kidding, I help them with Wii games, or urge them to check online or rent a game before they purchase. Does helping strangers out in a store make me a "casual" gamer?
Shagittarius @ Dec 31st 2007 11:02AM
If you buy a Wii you already can't be trusted.
Fernando Rocker @ Dec 31st 2007 11:05AM
If your nickname is Shagitarius you can't never be trusted.
roxxxo @ Dec 31st 2007 11:16AM
nice try fernando, but the double negatives...
BPM - The 3rd Strike @ Dec 31st 2007 12:19PM
I gave a plus to Fernando for effort. About time he made me laugh. Give the fella a break, English isn't his native tongue.
@Rocketboy:
Albatross18/SuperSwingGolf has caused me to shout "PangYa!!" with every golf swing I take in real life. Thanks a lot, Korea. :(
Night Elve @ Dec 31st 2007 1:44PM
Ouch Fernando you got owned right there! ROFL
vidGuy @ Dec 31st 2007 10:15AM
The funny thing is, these games will probably be profitable. Some high-profile games struggle at that.
The Wii's always on here, but I wouldn't shame it by popping one of these crappy games in.
N @ Dec 31st 2007 10:25AM
These games won't last a minute now that M&Ms Kart Racing is the current king of Wii racers.
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Dec 31st 2007 10:30AM
Oh my god. Did we just make a Joystiq meme? That's so sad.
Burritoclock @ Dec 31st 2007 11:31AM
approaching sound barrier!!!!!!!
WhatIsThatThing @ Dec 31st 2007 2:08PM
New and interesting!
WhatIsThatThing @ Dec 31st 2007 2:09PM
Oh crap I mean new and exciting!
