Wii U eShop Title Meme Run Seals Approval To Release This December

:'-(

One of the most obnoxious and distasteful videos I've ever seen. I would have to be paid to endure this garbage, not the other way around.

As if memes aren't bad enough on the internet.

Why would anyone actually develop this for a home console?It looks like a Flash game you'd play on Newgrounds.

No,nononononono, NOPE! NOPE! NIET! CEASE AND DESIST! HALT! STOP THIS SACRILEGE AT ONCE! I...I need a moment to question my beliefs...

@Tsurii897 Any Wii U owner who tragically happen to buy this game accidentally (because there is no other way of getting this... thing) has a duty to incinerate his/her console until it gets reduced to ashes, and then pour them into the W.C. To flush it away will be the only way to redeem the committed sin.

totes abomination

Memes are annoying enough as they are, don't need a full game dedicated to them.

Hopefully the fianl product looks better than this.

This is the worst thing I've seen in my life. Being myself a noob mobile developer, I can say I would never release anything like this.

Welp. http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/355/c/8/official_nintendo_seal_by_friedpants-d35dmkx.jpg People, Nintendo has finally fallen. We can all like JB now, for the world has imploded upon thyself. goes off to eat dirt In other words, NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHOHOOHOHOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....OOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ONE ONE ONE ONE ONE!!!!
Anyway, speaking of the eShop, since Slender was recently released, I wonder when Five Nights at Freddy's is going to be put on? The game pad could be the cameras and the screen could be your regular view. It could also work well with the 3DS as well.

Best platform game ever. The eshop just gained real respect with this classic

Tsk, Nintendo. Tsk.

I've made better games than this excremental typhoon when I was 12 (and those games sucked). Perhaps I should get into this "indie" scene that I've been hearing so much about.

Good God, kill it with fire.

"Everyone please support Game of the Year 2014 on the Wii U. It is called Meme Run and will be the most comical game you have ever played!"Is this idiot serious?

Nope, you have the wording wrong. It is not the most comical game. It is the most laughable game you have ever (not) played.

This...this is beautiful.

Maybe the studio made this as a satire of the internet as a whole just to make us contemplate life.

yes it's stupid, so what? not all indie games should be puzzle rpgs with anime 8-bit graphics. nobody is forced to buy it anyway.

@Tsurii897

I agree with what you said.
Nintendo, get a damn grip and see this is the type of garbage hindering the eShop.

dam no quality control..... ?

@minotaurgamer You insult Pikmin 3 yet you defend this game? How is that possible?!

Anyway, if we got flappy bird this shouldn't be a surprise

If its cheap I may get it. I got a kick out of the video.

This is pathetic.

Ew

How about we talk about the GOOD eShop games? Personally, I'm looking forward to Thomas Was Alone

Am I the only one here who sees how wonderful this is? Seriously, this is great! Just think of how many people are going to be inspired to start creating their own games when they see this on the eShop and realize, "If crud like this can get published, what's stopping me from creating and selling something decent?"

Mark my words: Meme Run may go up in flames, but a new generation of indie developers will emerge from the ashes.

"It is called Meme Run and will be the most comical game you have ever played!"

Sorry but it looks kind of dumb and the sounds are just annoying.

@PeppersGhost

or people might say "oh look, garbage sells on the Eshop, time to make more garbage that takes 5 minutes to make and sell it for a quick buck.

@Jahir if anything from RCMADIAX made it there then this shouldn't be a surprise.

WOMBO COMBOOOOOOOOOOO

I got a laugh out of it. It looks funny in a ridiculous way.
Will I buy it? No way. But it was funny.

Nope. I already have Both Bit.trip Runner 1 and 2 is discounted for 5$ this week. Don't need this.

If all you can see in the video shown above is the whole game it's an instant 1/10 (or lower). There are a few funny memes on the internet, but in this game it seems all random and annoying.

Yes, I will get Thomas Was Alone too. I like games with an interesting narrative and polished art styles.

/claps

Welp, this will obviously end well...

Worst thing I ever saw.

guys, it kind of looks like it would be fun in short bursts. It's obviously not a masterpiece, but it serves the purpose of being a short burst time killer. I might get it.

I don't understand why everyone thinks "USING A MEME = TERRIBLE NON-FUNNY GARBAGE". They're really no different from, say, quoting old episodes of SpongeBob. As long as it's done with context, or tastefully and intentionally without context, they are funny.

Y'all take groaning at puns to a whole new level.

dear god

this looks terrible and amazing at the same time, i might just get it to make my friends mad

@Tsurii897 "I wish this was a retail game...you can't burn digital titles after all :>"

yeeah... ill wait for a review

+1 for WOMBO COMBO

-infinity for existing

I just want the AVGN game to hit Wii U already!

It's not that I just don't like the game, I don't like Shultz. Despite being a verified user on Miiverse, he constantly trolls those who bought I.Q. Test. Instead of listening to feedback or taking all insults in stride, he simply deletes most comments to make room for the few positive newer ones.

Heck, Eli of The Letter fame deserves more respect than this douche.

@Phantom_R
Good point, but does this honestly look any fun to you? Maybe it's best just to watch reruns of Annoying Orange.

Also why does the trailer show the player losing at the same spot? Is it really that hard to jump?

@midnafanboy Or is he trolling? Oh god, I'm so confused.

Another 1/10 in the making. Yeah, always two sides to things. The fact that virtually anyone can make games nowadays will eventually come down to this. The same thing with music&internet. Having variety and quantity is great but the overall quality...well, you know. Not complaining, just need to be careful which ones we want to support.

Will people stop it with the quality control BS? Nintendo's old quality control methods meant we got less games not better games. Or do you want Nintendo to be like early Sony? No 2D games unless you are a popular brand kinda control?

This is the worst thing i ever saw, Nintendo don't do this!

I think I'm going to throw up.
The only circumstance I can see myself buying this game would be to have it for a practical joke on somebody...and I'm not THAT cruel.

@ToniK
Well said. Also...awesome profile pic. Love that game.

This'll be over-priced and will earn a 1/10

I wouldn't be surprised to find this in the US top-20 eShop list (just like The Letter did) while fantastic eShop games like Stealth Inc. 2 never reaches the top-20 list.

Jeez, folks. The game is trolling you. That's the entire reason for its existence. And you're already falling for it, before it's even out.
If you don't want stuff like this on the eShop, don't blame Nintendo. You now have the chance to NOT buy it, not even "to see how bad it is", and start showing what you want.

Besides, the humor might be extremely annoying to you, but when looking at how frequently memes are still used all around the internet, the appeal is definitely there. And the article was more painful than the video, already.
I'm more interested in how the actual gameplay works out.

Amuzing

Okay, the only part I found funny was the wombo combo.

I think it looks fun. ^^

i wasn't going to comment, but what the actual hell were nintendo thinking letting this through!? i expect a change.org petition to cancel it by the end of the night. if it does release, i expect activision to sue the dev the day after

What is going on? D:

Yuck.

This game will save the Wii U

How could Nintendo let this happen?! They must've had an off day or something.

December will be a dark month in gaming history no matter what else comes out, just because of this game alone.

I am saddened.

@swampertdude NO DO NOT ENCOURAGE THESE PEOPLE FOR GOD SAKES

The sound effect of the dude screaming when the player picks up the red item was really jarring and unpleasant.

This is something. Thatd actually do very well as a free android/iOS release with lrocesurally generated memes as compared to the same ordered crap over and over. Marketing this game has fallen very short. Wrong audience, wrong platform wrong approach

I think this is the Desert Bus of the Wii U.

@TeeJay NOBODY ENCOURAGE THESE SLOBS. NOBODY!

Is this the same guy, who made the IQ Test for Wii U?

@Jahir Because Pikmin 3 is boring, DUH. And yet, I wont tell people to not buy it. Jut because I don't like a game doesn't mean I will attack people for getting it.

By the way, I am not buying this game. Why should I? I'm not the demographic. But if anybody wants to buy, so be it. It's the arrogance in here that apparently some games should be made and others not based in elitist message.-forum BS ("eew memes they are so mainstream!" let's make a change.org petition!).

OMG this cant be happening -_-

It's clearly terrible* but still funny.

*Although maybe it does actually play really well for what it is

PS. There's too much water for my liking...and there isn't any

PPS. No one here knows, understands or comprehends, that if I had my way the original Wii would have had an in-built feature that would have basically been the equivalent of a free App Store and it would have been filled with Wii user created content just like this (created directly on the actual console itself; everything from artwork and videos to full video games), that could also be uploaded to the Internet for everyone else to appreciate too, with maybe a couple of genuine gems and potential Internet phenomenons to be found in among it all.

Just like the App Store, Steam and many general Internet sites that let users upload any manner of user created content, it could have been a genuine Revolution (pun intended).

I was so far ahead of the game that it's not even funny that I'm sitting here watching stuff like this skint

Although; that game is still kinda funny, as bad as it clearly is!

What a horrid monstrosity. Pictures stolen from the internet, humour that manages to make things that I feel have the capacity to be funny grating (I personally think that Illuminati Confirmed Videos, when done right, are funny) and gameplay more generic than most app store titles. The good news is that this game may not get released in Europe!

@minotaurgamer Well, I never said it shouldn't be on the eShop in the first place, you're right with that.

But you attacked Pikmin 3 because is "boring"? What does this game look to you? Oh yeah, it looks stupid, well, we are just stating our opinions I guess.

This game is so hype.

So hype.

So this is what happens when a person spend too much time on the bad side of the web. They go and create something like this out of crazed madness. Well I guess I can't blame a game who's very existence is to troll people. I'll just do like I do with trolls here; watch but don't feed.

I don't have a problem with a game based around memes personally. Heck it's actually a cute idea in some ways. It's just that THIS game looks unimaginative. A meme focused fighting game or even short RPG could be done well with the right team. It's just that this doesn't appear to be the case.

Hmm I wasn't sure if I was going to get a Wii U, but this game made me want one. Can't wait to get it lol rite guyzzz ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

this article made me make this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci8DkBYyJhw

Lol, I'm seriosuly getting it.

Needs Shrek.

Man, sure glad atm i don't have a wii U, but crap is ganna be comeing to the 3ds. (and the fan)

Looks like it was made with the same admiration and respect for gamers as Spikey Walls.

"Hey, you guys paid for crap before, so have some more."

I support indies as much as I can, but I will be staying far away from this mess.

"Leave us a comment with your thoughts below, or GET REKT"

who got rekt m8? fight me IRL or I'll r8 this 8/8. I swear on me mum I will kick ya fookin head in if ya say I got rekt m8. I'm an MLG player that has the xbox live gamer tag of SwagMcYolloCakes420. Fight me m8, I'll pick the D8.

Sure, I use memes a lot myself. Yes, they're a good way to fool around with friends and funny in the right context. But no way, NO WAY will I EVER play this RUBBISH. Just watching the video I have a hard time focusing on one thing and the guy yelling just irritates the hell out of me. I play games for FUN, not to be irritated!

@Kirk

@OdnetninAges
U wot m8!?

Run away?
