PetteriB Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Judging by the screenshots, that game looks like a slightly altered version of Habitrail Hamster Ball. Another 'gem' from Phoenix Games, "the only european super budget publisher": https://parasiitti.org/stuff/pinocchiobig.jpg Jiminy Cricket will stare into your soul.

Matri Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 There's a cricket the size of a housecat in the house and all you notice is the creepy stare?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Well, when the cricket is wearing a hat and clothes and has human looking fingers and eyes, it's hard to take it seriously. Any more bad Wii cover art? MobyGames has a list, but not many pics from what I see. Since Wii is a kid-ified platform (meaning a lot of the titles are intended for kids), there has to be tons of stupid cover art available. - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimli Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Not game cover art, but still worth checking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimli Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 @PetteriB: There is a bunny in that picture? I only see a lady there. Seriously, it took me about 10 seconds to even notice there was something else in that picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 What's the pet vet smiling like that for? Is she getting some sort of sick thrill out of the whole sordid business or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetteriB Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 BTW, that Pet Vet cover was featured at Photoshop Disasters blog a while ago. One of their readers even managed to track down the original stock photo they used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matri Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I question their decision to change her clothes to that eye-blindingly horrible shade of purple. Why not white for a doctor's overcoat, or green for scrubs? The only other person who wears that much purple goes by the name of Joker. First name, The.

PetteriB Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Gamesradar just recently made their picks for the worst box art of 2009. Pet Vet didn't make it to the list but here's something else: https://parasiitti.org/stuff/myballetstudio.jpg The overall crappy cut-n-paste look and the garish purple clothing makes me suspect this was made by the same person who did that Pet Vet cover. Also, there's something deeply disturbing about that little girl's face: https://parasiitti.org/stuff/balletgirl.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pet Vet didn't make it to the list but here's something else:Truly horrifying proving my point yet again that the Wii is the king of terrible cover art. Gross. (Coincidence that Wii is pronounced like "wee"). I sometimes wonder if Nintendo hires kids out of grade school to create cover art for their games. The obvious lack of skill in using Photoshop throws up all sorts of red flags. - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted December 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 I don't think any of those are actual Nintendo games, they're just titles some el cheapo third party decided to shovel onto the Wii for less than Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Possible I guess. So these games are just being whacked out assembly line style and are hoping to exploit the popularity of the Wii? - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetteriB Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 PS2 also has it's share of crappy shovelware games. Just look at the videos in this thread at SomethingAwful forums.

FullAuto Posted December 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Possible I guess. So these games are just being whacked out assembly line style and are hoping to exploit the popularity of the Wii? Yup, there's lots of stuff being ported to it, because it's the biggest current console user base (that isn't a handheld). It means some games get a well-deserved second chance to be seen (Broken Sword, for instance), and some horrors see the light of day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
