Top 22 Video Game Fails of Each Year (2000 - 2021)

The video game industry is one of the most successful, but every year still sees a big fail.

Our countdown includes the Google Stadia in 2019, the PlayStation Network Hack in 2011, "Wii Music" in 2008, the Nokia N-Gage in 2003, and more! Let us know in the comments which you think is the most embarrassing.

Wii music wasn't a fail, it gave us a video that will forever cement itself as one of the most awkward displays of humanity we have. Truly a blessing

[@Vampocrat]

Dude, the 2021 Fail award should go to the whole Activision Blizzard fiasco.

Oh God I remember The N-Gage a mini version of a PSP where all your games came with Pop-up Ad's & Commercials. 🤮

Literally no one complained about Conker’s graphics. That was one of the high points. I mean look at that fur lol. The censorship in the campaign was weird though considering the online portion had f bombs in it.

The Dreamcast was amazing. The problem was that it was too amazing and ambitious for the time. It sucks so much since the original Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 are much better than their ports imo.

[@celebvillage]

Ahh Fallout, RIP. Where's Cyberpunk? Also, thanks for inspiring to start my celeb channel! Hope you're having a great 2022 everyone ❤!

#22: Shenmue (2000)

[@biancaarmstrong5097]

At least I’m happy Okami got more love in the future and when people saw Chuggaconroy’s let’s play of Okami, it was hidden gem that was now more loved and recognized. Plus it got a sequel for the DS and even Ammy was a fighting character in Marvel Vs Capcom 3/Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3. Heck it was even ported to some gaming systems as an HD remake so everyone can experience this beautiful amazing gem. Sure it sold poorly in the past but I’m glad people start to love Okami more.

[@ThunderBlake]

Everyone is mentioning Cyberpunk for 2020

[@wimberlytwins]

I'm surprised Cyberpunk 2077 wasn't the biggest fail of 2020, the initial release was terrible and deserved to have the 2020 spot

[@abigassteddybear7919]

Its nice to know people did not kill each other before video games, comic books and radio sho-

[@pakkubear1012]

No cyberpunk??? I would argue that is the biggest fail of the past decade.

[@Goldtiger142003]

On the Epic vs Apple thing; this was Epic throwing a hissy fit. Sure, the 30% cut was basically theft, but Epic's mistake was the fact that they WILLINGLY breached the contract that they WILLINGLY signed. I was hoping for Fortnite to be destroyed as a result of this stupid stint, but alas; Epic didn't get enough punishment at all for wasting everyone's time. At least Apple fixed their stupid money theft rule, right? ...Right?

[@MrMementoMori]

So the PS3 costing $600 dollars didn’t make the list but in its place Okami? It’s a great game though but that’s my opinion.

[@katiegrace6416]

CD Projekt RED destroying their reputation with Cyberpunk's disastrous release should be 2021.

[@devingiles6597]

WatchMojo, how about you do a list of the Top 20 Sega Genesis Soundtracks?

[@amotucalva]

2020: Watchmojo saying Cyberpunk 2077 is the best game of the year.

[@RisingBeast00]

I thought the Virtual Boy was the biggest failure in Nintendo's history.
