Topic: Worst eShop Game You Bought?

Any Treefall Studios game.

Just because they are 10 cents-a dollar in the sales, it is not worth it man.

Splatoon

Magical Whip. This game just drains your spirits with the same music and backgrounds and the unfair dificullity.

overal worst - Rock'n Roll Racing Off Road
money paid vs actual quality worst - Wooden Se'SeY
hype vs actual quality worst - Thomas Was Alone

I downloaded that one game that was recently put on sale for 1¢ following Iwata's passing. I think it's called "I've Got to Run!" I want my penny back...

I've Got to Run!

I've generally liked everything I've bought for the Wii U eShop, some humble bundle games withstanding. I hated Mighty Switch Force on the 3DS though, and I was really disappointed with both Gunvolt titles.

Tough call. I'd say either Pokémon Link! Battle (8€ for the worst puzzle game I've ever played, but that piece of crap got a sequel instead of the superb Pokémon Link! - screw you too, "Genius" Sonority) or Johnny Hotshot (words can't describe how awful this game is), but PierSolar HD is a close second because the insane price tag isn't nearly justified by the lackluster gameplay.

Freakyforms! Your Creations Alive I kept seeing positive reviews for this title, so I went ahead and bought it. That was a terrible mistake.

Chibi Robo, it's not even close...

Off the top of my head, I think it would have to be Gunman Clive or Mutant Mudds.

Oh that's easy. Abyss hands down. That game isn't even good with pre iPhone standards.

Chasing aurora sucks too, but at least that one had me playing the multiplayer once.

lol. it takes less time for me to name the indie games I love than to name the ones that were a waste of money. 'Knytt Underground', 'Witch & Hero' and 'Liberation Maiden' were good. Everything else... ugh.

Wii U seems to have quite a lot of really really bad indie games, or good games that are a tad over-priced (and unfortunately, Nintendo hates to have sales on anything good).

Kerploosh; it wasn't what I thought it was based on the eShop description. Plus, it had zero depth to it.

Bizarre concept for a game, too, regarding the back-story.

Bombing Bastards, it's not bad but it's very generic and it's only there to fill the Bomberman void.

I bought Sayonara Umihara Kawase based on solid reviews and really can't stand it. I like difficult games and consider myself a proficiently skilled at playing stuff - but this just rubs me up all the wrong ways. I dislike nearly everything about it - the handling - the sound - the design - the way the levels are divided up.

It's a shame because I can nearly always find something to like in a game when it's been admired by others - but I think I might be missing something with this one.

All is forgiven though - i wouldn't have bought Virtues Last Reward were it not for you guys.

Planet Crashers
In terms of Wii U eShop, Tabletop Gallery (Shut the Box, Poker Dice Solitaire Future and Toss 'n' Go). The only worthwhile game was Poker Dice, and that was only OK for a few rounds.

Puddle by a mile, good concept ruined by awful controls

@Noonch I kind of dug that game. I have some funny pictures from it, some of which I really should delete before my kids see them...

I bought all my eShop games based on good reviews.
So I would not state the games I regret buying as bad games, but I never really got into ChrimsonShroud (really tried to like it, but it is just so cliché and stiff) and ScramKitty (just don't get into the playstyle, jumping is really hard for me).
Tappingo was kind of a disappointment too. It was fun, but after all it was really short and too easy (not much thinking required for a puzzle).
I also regret buying ZEN pinball. I thought it was gonna be nice for little breaks, but apparently I don't get much fun out of pinball anymore.
There are some other games that I am still unsure about whether they are my cup of tea; and quite many that I did not play much but appreciate them for their mere existence anyway.
