I aced WiiWare, Party Time, and Generic DS Fantasy, but bombed all the rest.

There's really a game called Madagascar Kartz? Really?

I got 7, and that's only because all these games are almost too absurd to not be real.

Like the rising sun and the setting moon, the shitware cycle continues unabated.

What the hell is Buck Fever? I thought that was the fake one......I stopped when I got the warmup wrong. = (

I have a Wii, but don't consider myself a Wii owner because it never gets played. Sometimes, I forget I have it.

Who wants to buy a Wii with four Wiimotes, two nunchucks, and six games? $100?

You could get $200 easily with that.

Sold!

That is a binding contract, sir! ; )

Hell, I sold mine with 2 wiimotes/nunchucks and a plus and classic controller for $250.

I sold mine with extra Wiimote/Nunchuck and gamecube controller after being used for 9 months for $240.

I want to sell mine and maybe put the money towards my new Xbox I want to get, but I just can't part with it. I haven't played it in quite a while, but I feel like I want to keep it just so I'll have it later on in life. Maybe it will be seen as a failed experiment for a motion-controlled console in 15 years. Maybe it will end up reaching some extraordinary potential by the end of it's lifecycle and people will kill to have one in 20-30 years. Either way, I just want to hold onto it :)

I should sell it....$200 (or $250) would cover my video game costs for about two years at the slow rate I buy games.

Thanks, guys!

I've been trying to figure out how to sell my Wii, but it's modded and no auction sites allow that. I guess it'll continue to collect dust.

If you're actually willing to go for 100, I would buy it. I don't own one, I want one, I would buy it. Seriously. I want to buy it.

Ill buy that $hit of you! u got an ebay!1

I don't have an ebay....

I will probably list it on Craigslist. I am in the Washington, D.C. area if you are close

Goodness Gracious! O.O

"Alien Monster Bowling League"??? -.-

I just don't know, man....

Oops, I Nintendidit again.

That final round really fucked with my head.

There is no hope. The industry's over. I'm going home.

We Wish You a Merry Christmas: The Game

I just lost the game.

EFF YOU, TRON!

The first game of this had my favorite moment ever in the podcast, Justin laughing at Chris and Ludwig's guesses. I actually tried to make an audio bump out of it for the 'cast:

http://shoestringtheory.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/totw.mp3

This news topic can do nothing but give Ubisoft more terrible game ideas.. way to go... :P

Because Nintendo published most or all of these games. Or moneyhatted the publishers to get them on their platforms

Aww man, I was really hoping that Dino Party: Velociraptorz was real. :(

Just wait, we'll probably see it by next Christmas along with Velociraptorz Babiez

I did NintendOK...

The sad part is that there is so much shoveware where the most effort went into choosing the name that we can make this sort of game.

I NINTENDIDIT AGAIN!

Last time I got 13/17, this time I got 13/15!

I knew to expect that the last five were all real this time!

YES!

Might want to take out the trademark and copyright symbols when you copy and paste because they're give-aways for real games.

See, this is the reason why i bought an Xbox 360, shovelware games like these is ruining the Wii.

I know, I mean, My God. Everytime one of these shovelware crap appears, I HAVE TO BUY IT, then I'm like "F***! My Wii's ruined forever!"

We use to do this thing as kids where we would swap the first letters of multi-word obscenities to "clean them up" such as 'fother mucker' and 'bon of a sitch'. Well, I did that with "Buck Fever"...

That kind of letter-swapping is known as a Spoonerism

So we can get our.. Satisfashion!

I don't have an ebay....

I will probably list it on Craigslist. I am in the Washington, D.C. area if you are close.

Great game!! I got 8 right.

Let's play ... Spot the Real Wii or DS Game 2!
