The Nintendo Wii released in 2006 and was immediately considered one of the best consoles ever made. But recently I decided to take a look at the Wii's catalogue of games, and more specifically, the worst games ever made - And that brings us to todays video. For as many amazing Mario games released for the Wii, there are just as many games like Family feud: 2012 and all of this got me wondering, what is the worst Wii game ever made? But in trying to answer that question Dagger found himself playing terrible games like monkey mischief, the worst party game ever made, and who can forget, M&M kart racing. But then the worst game developers of time appeared to torment us all: Digital design interactive, responsible for games like: rock and roll adventures, The ninja bread man, and Anubis 2. Digital design interactive, or DDI for short were know for their "shovelware" game development, reusing all of their assets to create as many games as possible, resulting in 4 of the ten worst Wii games ever made. These games were virtually identical, with similar controls, graphics, and sound design, even sharing the music throughout each game driving dagger insane. That brings us to the video finale, Sukeban Shachou Rena, a Japanese exclusive game that sold 100 copies total making it one of the rarest games ever made, but how bad is it, Well not that bad at all, But unfortunately playing the game without speaking Japanese is impossible.

imagine being a kid seeing your friends play Twilight Princess or Mario Kart and you just pull up with a Data Design Interactive game 💀
I’ll never buy these shovelware games, I’m just gonna buy Wii games that I feel interest with. I just got Twilight Princess a few months ago, and I need to buy a copy of Mario Kart Wii.
@@traviscunningham7062 you should grab a copy of mario galaxy while you're at it yes yes
I had a friend like that growing up, we had all the Mario games, Smash, Zelda etc., meanwhile they had the most bizarre European shovelware (I’m from the UK) I’ve ever seen and never seen since, although I grew up with it on the DS, I always liked pet/veterinary games as a kid and there was A LOT of animal shovelware on the DS 😂
@@lumulubro think he tom nook
😂 if that kid got data design interactive games they better off playing outside with imaginary friends.
This is the most peculiar way to disguise a pipe bomb making tutorial on TH-cam I've ever seen.
Dude i read this comment before watching the video and thought “haha what a funny comment” then this dude cuts to him in a fucking hazmat suit 😭😭
Worrying behavior honestly like another Mr anime kinda Case on our hands

The story behind
Sukeban Shachou Rena
Is actually kind of heartwarming and sad. The game was developed and published by Jorudan, who had some awesome experiments such as the fighting game/basketball game, 1-On-1, a basketball game with Tekken's limb-based button control scheme and the horror/pinball game Paranoiascape, both for the PlayStation 1. Sukeban Shachou Rena was developed with them pretty much knowing it would be their last game, so they made a tribute to their recently deceased office-cat, Rena. Of course, they knew it was more of a labor of love than the next big hit, so it doesn't handle the best, but it's full of heart, soul and character. The game would barely sell 100 copies and they would bow out of game development I believe just a week after publishing it (that's how sure they were about their impending doom). Sad, but honestly a great farewell to a really out of the box developer.
Jorudan still exists these days, but they seem to run a Japanese transportation website. Kind of one of those "you can get from here to here if you take this train, then take this taxi, then take this bus, and we'll help you book the tickets" type deals.
I was looking for a comment like this, that game didn't look lazy like the other ones and from the short gameplay shown seemed pretty charming
I had a feeling this had to be a real cat, but I didn't know what her significance was and had thought she was just some cat that everyone in Japan knows but she's unheard of elsewhere. Knowing she was their cat that died is a little sad, but it's sweet that a tribute to her was their last oorah, even if it didn't sell that well.
@sem_aki yeah it seems like the lack of reviews is just from it being so obscure
Lol, so we're going with "Jorudan's Best Title" for the game that sold 100 copies.

How did you arrive to that conclusion?
Anubis II isn't a sequel. It's Anubis, the 2nd. As in, Anubis Jr. Not making the game itself any better, nor is it any less stupid, but still.
“They made a sequel without making an original. You can’t make this stuff up folks”.
Turns out you totally can.
@@Valentinexyz__ Makes me think of a New Hope LOL
sounds more stupid now
@@luisrosado7050 Yes, but not a stupid that had to be (understandably) misconstrued!
Random fact: the pc production of Ninjabread man was so rushed that you can find the gingerbread biscuit from Shrek as Save files
As quoted from Rerez:
"Somebody call DreamWorks, I SMELL A LAWSUIT!"
@@GmacAttack "IT'S. JUST. BAD."
The irony is that NinjaBreadman is the failed result of DDI's failed prototype to a ZOOL remake
In the PS2 version also appear as Gingerbread Man
lmao
Jesus Christ, as a divorced parents kid who's favorite console was a wii, that opener hit different
I had to say that it isn't accurate because my parents aren't technically divorced yet, but they may as well be so it hits different lol.
Same
No literally bro like wtf😭
My favorite console is also the Wii. I’m only buying games that I feel interested in buying, shovelware garbage is not included.
I feel called out
as we say in the TOTALLY LEGAL PART OF THE GAMING COMMUNITY, wear an internet condom when you do shady stuff
Arrr
Mullvad be our ticket to the high seas. (seriously Mullvad is the best VPN, you can even pay with cash, is super cheap and works extremely well, guess they spend their money on the vpn and not marketing)
And also, scan files with your antivirus ad some might claim it is 'clean', when in fact it's the opposite.

@@Mario583a windows is pretty decent at detecting so i wouldnt suggest using external AV applications, its usually just bloat and adware. Malwarebytes is the only i'd download
And there are sites you can use to check your files before downloading.
As long as you are using common sense and not using TPB you should be a ok.
Fun fact, the 3 games you played (if briefly) Ninja Breadman, Anubis 2, and the rock & roll one? There's a 4th version of that same game. Meaning there are FOUR reskins of a prototype Zool game which the IP holders canceled out there. And they were sold on the PS2 originally, then ported with broken motion controls to the Wii.
Actually, there was a FIFTH Ninjabread Man clone - Casper the Friendly Ghost - but was the only one not released in North America (it was European-exclusive).
You talking about that Trixie in Toyland game or whatever it was called?
Sending a pipebomb filled with chocolate cake is indeed very dark.
That cat game just looks amazing for a Wii game. It has no business having graphics that good
I was thinking that cat is the MOST convincing video game cat I've seen. I dunno why but games have a really hard time getting common animals like cats and dogs "right", even still today
@@Neogeddon looks about on par with that STRAY game (I think that’s what it’s called?)
@@scottoleson1997 Oh, I forgot about that game! Definitely an exception; they got the cat very right in that

Holy shit did not expect anarchists cookbook content at the end
He really pulled a breaking bad cuz of how shitty those games were
When i was a kid, I had buyers remorse from getting Wreck It Ralph. Years later, a crack grew on my disc and it stopped working, so a friend and I smashed it up. Its remains are taped up to my wall

When I was a kid, me and my friend would smash discs with a pair of those old 3rd party ps2 controllers, and say we're "playing the PS12" or "playing the Xbox720" sarcastically
I had a hard plastic CD slip case that was meant for homemade CDs, and how it worked was you slipped the CD inside and pushed a lever that would eject the CD. A friend and I discovered that if you pushed the lever hard enough, it would eject the CD across the room like a frisbee, and then we spent like twenty minutes launching my PS2 copy of Spyro Enter the Dragonfly at each other. I still have that CD case around here somewhere.
@@Sergio-nb4hjI had a liscensed broken guitar hero guitar. I shit you not, when I tried to break this desk to destroy the guitar. The desk broke, yet the guitars whammy bar just popped out of place LOL.

Oh my god, I did not expect to see the Japan only cat game that sold less than 200 copies total on this list. No one knows about that game lol. It's a holy grail item for the Wii, and I would adore having a copy at some point. It is absolutely not a good financial decision but I want it!
25:56 Not sure how much you care, but this minigame is actually based around yojijukugo (四字熟語), or kanji idioms that are each made up of 4 kanji. There are over a thousand of these, and each time you lost in the game, it reset to a different one. The game wants you to pick the second kanji in the idiom displayed in the box. So for example, one round had 千客万来 (which apparently mean "roaring business"), and the second kanji is 客, meaning you'd choose option A.
A kinda sorta English equivalent would be, say, "What ____ around comes around" and the game wanting you to pick "goes" as the missing word.
As someone who speaks a good deal of Japanese, kanji are the bane of my existence. They all have multiple readings too (depending on the context they're used in), one which is based on old Chinese pronunciations and one which is just something made up by Japan. Most kanji have 2 readings, but some have 3 or 4.
I think it's a cool writing system and I do appreciate the logic to it... but I have a dumb English-based brain so I can't actually figure out what that logic *is*.
Enjoyed the video a lot! Why are bad video games so fascinating?
I’ve always felt the difficulty English speakers have with kanji and other ideographic scripts must be similar to foreigners learning English. English at least provides you a rough guide to pronunciation in the written form, but English words also depend on context, tone and body language to correctly interpret their meaning. They’re still quite different, but it’s easy to forget English is similarly arbitrary in many contexts, we’re just used to it.
Yeah lol, if I had a dollar for every reading of 行 I feel like I'd be a millionaire 😅.
My speech is pretty fluent but I really have gotten rusty on my kanji reading... and writing without a keyboard with auto suggestions? An absolute struggle for me because I'm so out of practice lol. My handwriting is at least neater in Japanese than my native English, though 😅.
The commitment to the bit at the end was intense.
I swear out of all the console, Wii probably has the most shovelware and terrible games on the console alone
gotta be the switch for me. the amount of 10€< shovelwares games i found on the eshop is insane
DS also got a lot
@@ninjanimsmakes using the store impossible
The Xbox 360 marketplace had a lot of awful indie titles(thanks MrFecalFunny)
Didn't you know, Nintendo and Shovelware are synonyms
It's crazy that you have to worry more about Nintendo emulation than making a pipe bomb.
i had to click on this because i was really hoping i’d see m&ms kart racing. it was genuinely unplayable, and as a kid (and still today) i was scarred by the stupid fucking sound it made when you crashed into the wall. every time i played it i ALWAYS got stuck on a wall and couldn’t move, and the screeching sound wouldn’t stop, it was traumatizing
You: mom can we have mario kart......
Your mom: no you already have M&M kart racing at home go play that instead.
You: but mom that game..... make me have nightmare at night, bc every time i hit wall, it make me shit myself
Your mom: just get gud scrub......... not knowing she has been playing this game while you were at sleep and was actually good and enjoying it meanwhile you were shitting yourself in your bed bc of that screeching sound everytime you crash.
@@nicholasclermont7390 LMAO
APPROACHING SOUND BARRIER
Oh damn.
I uh. I thought the pipe bomb comment was. A joke.
Thats just a fucking pipe bomb.
Wth happens at the end? Wasn’t expecting breaking bad sequel here…
You forgot Major Minor's Majestic March. A game made by the same people who created legendarry games like PaRappa and Vib-Ribbon. The game was so bad, that the game sold a couple hundred copies in Japan in it''s first week.
Also the reason Anubis II is called that, is because it's supposed to be read as "Anubis the Second".
NanaOn-Sha really did fall off, huh
It makes me so sad how bad that game was, since I love all the character designs and aesthetics. Such a shame :(
... If I remember correctly, ddi made the same game FOUR times, Myth Makers: Trixie in Toyland was also one of them, so... Ninja bread man is rumored to be the "original" because of its similarities to an old platformer ddi got the rights of which were then recalled so Ninja Bread Man is the original which got quickly reskinned and released, and then the other three came after it
They were planning on making a Zool reboot but the demo they made was too trash to get the license. They reskinned that demo to Ninjabread man
Actually, there was a FIFTH Ninjabread Man clone - Casper the Friendly Ghost - but was the only one not released in North America (it was European-exclusive).
Thankfully this is just a bit the isn't actually how to make a pipe bomb (probably)
It seems it was actually closer to chocolate cake
@@brendanthedreamer hyper realistic pipe bomb cake lol
Oh God, Alvin and The Chipmunks Chipwrecked just unlocked some deeply hidden PTSD from when it was my kids' favourite movie for an entire summer holidays.
6 weeks of that damn movie, oh the horror!
There has been Family Feud games before the PlayStation. It was also on the NES, Super NES, Game Boy Advance, and Sega Genesis.
Damn I remember that AVGN episode where he's grandpa playing some lame far cry port for Wii. Funny, now it's really how things are viewed.
It's crazy that the Wii is older now than some of the old games he reviewed at the time he made that joke.
@@NottJoeyOfficialyeah the oldest games had to be about 19 years old from some of his first videos
What's very unserious about Japanese is I can only read Kanji because of mandarin classes😭😭
Y'all know Alvin and the Chipmunks existed for decades before those trash movies right??? Do yourself a favor and go watch Alvin and the Chipmunks Batmunk special.
Homeboy out here presenting a cake recipe as if it were a recipe for explosives 🤣
That reminded me of Rocky and Bullwinkle!
"Motion controls are the worst thing ever"
Meanwhile the intro shows motion control-based games as good examples for the Wii library. Nice.
I remember a 4chan post where someone pre-ordered the m&m kart racer and expected it to be a brawler lmao
I watched this while sleep deprived and got very confused when you were suddenly synthetizing meth
What-
It looks like Data Design Interactive game is the new version of LJN games
I actually had M&Ms Kart Racers as a kid that my dad surprised me with one day. I vividly remember how absolutely AWFUL the controls were, they were either too responsive or not responsible at all, there was no in between. I felt bad when i told my dad i didn't like it but i think he understood lmao
5:07 rip to the goat, you will be missed vimm
I’ve known about Alvin and the Chipmunks before the first movie was released, heck, I watched the Chipmunk Christmas special that spawned the 80s series that eventually got worked on by DiC, the company that brought us classics like The Super Mario Bros. Super Show and Sonic SatAM. I even knew a little about the 60s series that used the UPA style that was popular for TV cartoons back then.
I enjoyed the video but you might honestly legitimately have to be careful about the pipe bomb shit, like I feel like that might honestly have your YT channel taken down and the FBI potentially knock on your door even though it was a bit.
Saw a tik toker say “someone just blow up my school already because I’m sick of this shit” and got in genuine trouble and was threatened to be charged with felonies. If this dude gets any more popular this video is gonna bite him in the ass one day
RIP Vimms no more Nintendo titles, you gave the game away!
The fact that there are a bunch of Data Design Interactive games in here takes me back to classic Vinesauce Shovelware Showcase
What in the Columbine was that ending?
OH ANUBIS I REMEMBER THAT GAME!!!
Except I got it as a bonus to breakfast cereals as a kid, so it was a pc game. It was a decent, but I don't remember ever finishing it. Then again I was a young kid so idk
Where it should belong
I know I am three weeks later but...
Fun fact about SUKEBAN SHACHOU RENA
Despite it being such an obscure game, an Italian TH-camr called Fraws, who's main channel is called "Parliamo di videgiochi", literally "Let's talk about videogames" in Italian, this channel is one of the most known from the golden age of TH-cam Italy, talked about this particular game EIGHT years ago, almost one decade ago, and seeing this game after 8 years was...
Nostalgic
Thanks man, you indirectly made me remember about this masterpiece
Edit: I wasn't expected to edit this comment, but, ironically, Mr. Fraws, as a gag, always destroys the worst videogames he finds, like you did at the end of the video
This is a bizzare coincidence
Now I want a follow-up to this video with PS2 shovelware, and a third one surrounding DS shovelware. Well, the Wii wasn't alone; need I remind you about Data Design Interactive originally releasing their trash on the PlayStation 2 before terrorizing the Wii by porting them. The company even collaborated with the infamous Phoenix Games with Myth Makers Balls of Doom and GP!
Honestly a good video! I’m glad it was in my recommended. I’ve been on a kick lately watching footage of specifically bad or obscure video games. This featured some I had not heard of! Nice voice to listen to as well. I see this video is catching a lot of views so good luck!!
you know, the most surprising thing about this video was the ending, i was certain that after being shot the discs would have been nothing but shards, but they held together surprisingly well to have multiple bullet holes in them
holy shit am i glad i found this video. i love watching videos about video games but this video has something that no other video has had in probably the past 5-6 years or so. authentic, real, and unfiltered jokes and opinions. incredibly based. keep making shit like this dude. i’m gonna check out your other videos. this really brought me back to old youtube. i’m glad to see that this video dynamic is not fully dead
Wow I'm just in the intro and it's all Data Design Interactive.
I love how they made a racing game for the Wii that looks worse than most racing games for the N64 or DS
I'm surprised the game shops even had those four games. You'd think it would be like Mad Catz game controllers where game shops won't even accept them as trade ins and tell you to just trash them because no one will ever buy them.
That Vimm's Lair bit aged like fucking milk.
Good ending! I did the same thing with my copy of "Epic Movie" and after it was full of holes I covered it in thermite. Now it cant hurt anyone ever again!
Imagine being the Gamestop employee who was handed a list of ten of the worst video games ever made for a console and told, "I'll take the lot."
The cat game is really sad. If only they made it a life-simulation game instead of random minigame/trivia game...
you know the game is obscure when searching it on youtube doesnt give much and the wikipedia has "wii" in the game title
Not even 10 seconds on and I'm personally attacked (the wii is my favorite console and my parents are divorced)
I owned a wii. And my parents are still together.
as we all know, motion controls were innovative and add convenience to menus, fun in some games too but why does it have to be required though?
the release of the Wii is further from us now than the fall of the Soviet Union was from the release of the Wi.
Holy shit
Always good for the narrative to find a nemesis early!
Nice video!
did i just learn how to make a pipe present???
Vimms had to remove a ton of stuff. It’s over. Too much exposure I guess.
Another video getting a well deserved place in my „best TH-cam videos ever“ playlist.
That cat game looks legit good, ngl.
Anubis II isnt a sequel. The character is "Anubis the 2nd". Still doesnt make it any less confusing
5:38 to be fair, the US has definitely stolen a lot of ideas from the UK as well. Who wants to be a millionaire for example started out in the UK and then I guess about a year later it came to the US. Although the first ever person to win the million dollars was on the US edition and anybody who's familiar with him knows that he was totally baller with how he won the million dollars.
The motion control is 100% why i hated the wii. Being forced to use it in sine botw shrines sucked.
There's a family feud game for the Sega Genesis lol.
Actually, about the Ninjabread Man clones, there’s a fourth
Trixie in Toyland is ANOTHER NBM clone and I’m kinda sad you didn’t bring more awareness to it, although I’m surprised you covered RNRA since I didn’t even know about that one until today
I think anibus 2 is named that because it's anibus junior or anibus the second.
Hold on, go back. We had Family Feud back here in the UK for decades before a hiatus
I thought the first Family Feud game was the SNES one with the funny TAS Speedrun.
I got M&M's Kart Racing for charismas one year as a kid. it's just unplayable. but still, as a kid I would try to play it and just thought I was bad at the game
22:11 That is not very many tracks. I think when I got Burger King pocket bike racer for like $5 on the original Xbox that cheap $5 game had more tracks and it controlled actually pretty well.
The Nintendo store in general is filled with a ton of shovel ware same thing goes for the PlayStation store
So glad I grew up with home brew and hacked consoles😂 had every game so we didn’t have to deal with shovelware and shit like this.
That introduction is the first time I've EVER been targeted directly. Well done. Subscribed.
the only memory i have of alvin and the chipmunk is having it playing in the background while someone my parents REALLY wanted me to be friends with for some reason kept lobbing objects at my head in her room. thanks for inventing nightcore kings
M&M's kart racing was my first Wii game that wasn't the titles the system came with. Just as dreadful as I remember!
There was a family feud game for NES too so even earlier than PS1.
The worst part about the Family Feud game is that they didn’t build in the feature to respond “penis” to prompts and get Steve Harvey to make that face 😂
I am CRYING that you didn't bring up the SNES Family Feud game (which has an extremely broken parser and a TAS that has a blast with the answers ("Professional Beaver Butt Scratcher!" "NUMBER ONE ANSWER!").
"Mario Kart off an 8th" was pretty funny good job
I remember seeing Ninjabread Man on the cover of GameInformer once.
Also, if anyone wants to see gameplay for most of the garbage on display, I would recommend Vinesauce’s shovelware showcases
1:47 the dude's pure unbridled hatred also let to an instant archive. Dude just instant exodia'd any further discussion.
what's funny is that I had M&M racing as a kid, i don't remember playing it much lol
After this video I'm going to pretend that the only party games on the Wii are Wii Play, Wii Play Motion, and Wii Party.
That intro was a one-two punch ☠You don't have to go so hard, take it easy 😭🤣
Felt like I was watching an old mumkey jones video especially with the ending
I'm surprised Trixie in toyland didn't make the list. It was made by the same developers as 4 of the games here, DDI
Myrient and internet archive are so much faster than vimmslair
after watching im convinced that devs were payed extra if they used motion controls lmao
i actually had the fake elvis game growing up, i didn’t know how to play it really and didn’t ever get very far and would just go back to black ops 1 lmao
That opener hit me like a brick 😭
I legit have a copy of ninjabread man, it's so mid, I 100% the game in like a few hours
I couldn't believe the amount of shovelware on Wii and DS. Huge disappointment.
At least my DS works as a wireless MIDI controller.
that opening joke made me do an irl spit take
the ending is insane
Lego Rock Raiders was actually a cool RTS game that happened to be designed by DDI. Well before their Wii shovelware days.
