Discussion SOBADITSGOOD / VIDEOGAMES

Samurai Zombie Nation is a Zero Context Example

Cut these for being Sobad Its Horrible.

• Bad Street Brawler is designed to use the Power Glove, and is just as campy as a notorious scene promoting that peripheral. The game also was originally part of a plan by Mattell to produce a new Barbie-like plastic figure line; only for boys, featuring "Duke Davis, former punk-rocker and the world's coolest martial arts vigilante!" The result is not only one of the worst, but also one of the strangest Beat 'em Up games ever concieved. Despite intending to reach a male demographic, the protagonist was given an arguably metrosexual appearance with matching yellow hair and short-sleeve shirt. (Did Mattell ever research what actual punk rockers or vigilantes wear?) The game then gives him a repertoire of moves that often bear only a cursory resemblence to martial arts, a plot that apparently is about fighting circus performers, and one level centers entirely around giving tummy-rubs to dogs.
  • A Running Gag about this game among certain circles: "At least its title is honest: It is a bad street-brawler!"

• Kasumi Ninja is a hilariously-terrible Mortal Kombat ripoff made for the Atari Jaguar, with many an Ethnic Scrappy in its character roster and incredibly backfired attempts at using photo-capture graphics. The general consensus as to its Crowning Moment Of Funny is the character Angus, a steretypical Scottsman with the ability to shoot fireballs from his groin.

"In Soviet Russia, YOU'RE WINNER!"

That doesn't make any sense. Is the video game normally the winner? Not to mention that Russian Reversal is a bit overdone.

Who added this?

• Shenmue. It's what you get when you combine horrible voice acting with lots of Ho Yay in a Press X to Not Die adventure game with horrible "action" scenes right out of a 1970s B movie. This vid should tell you all you need to know about the series.
  • Do you know where I can find some sailors?
  • WHAAAAAAT DIIIIIID YOOOOOOUUU SAAAAAYYY?!?!?

The only so bad its good part is the voice acting.

I'm starting to think we should give Capcom's translations their own section in the article, since there's so many of them.
