The worst part about Nintendo eShop NSFW games is that they're not even the good ones from devs like AliceSoft or YuzuSoft. There are eroge that actually have love and care put into them like Dohna Dohna, so seeing that shovelware garbage is just insulting.

At Least Old Shovel Wares was unique : you Have Bratzs , Ninja Breadman , Shoot Chicken

Any reason why you spent 7 minutes talking about the history of shovelware rather than the title of the video

There's a shocking amount of scam games on the Playstation store that try their best to look like famous indie games that don't have a port yet, and judging by their review ratings on the store, they've succeeded quite a few times. Stuff like Raft, Lethal Company, etc. all have one. They use really similar names and art to fool kids, only for those kids to find out that PS customer support won't allow refunds for any game you've downloaded. The shovelware as well is bad, but these scams piss me off so much.

My cousins owned that WII game with the cookie, it was awful. There were also other games like that, which were only reskins... I also had one of them...

The Wii ads with the Japanese salesmen are so good that I had to rewind twice because it kept drawing me in and I wasn't paying attention to what you were saying.

Wow, what a gem of a video. Such a great balance of accurate information and research as well as a side of personal opinions and perspectives where they fit and explained in a very professional yet digest able manner. Easy subbed. I hope to see more where this came from!

there is only one of these simulator games i've played and actually enjoyed and that is supermarket together. sure it doesnt look the best but you can see that the dev team is trying to make the best of it and for free at that, the only thing you can but is their DLC to support the team but that's completly optional. the game looks way more fun than the original supermarket simulator too so thats a win win

Got the ai Coke ad at the beginning of the vid

Bro my friend has both supermarket simulator and TCG store simulator and unironically plays them daily

I rarely open the Nintendo eshop, however as of today i no longer wish to even dare hover over it because i'd rather not have my eyes be permanently damaged by the AI slop, i'm happy with just having splatoon 3, Minecraft and UA-cam

That woman with the kitty in her shoulder ❤

Red deer games when I catch you, when I catch you red deer games (they make most of the porn games that show up on the Nintendo Estore I find)

you're telling me browser shovelware games on FREE game sites have better restrictions over AI advertising and NSFW content than eshop does? 😭

dude thank you for making this video

I really believed the Vita was going to succeed. Cant believe how it turned out

People don’t even know what the term “shovelware” is any more. Try saying it to a zoomer and their brain will turn off

We all finna die

2k hour isaac player, i dont know how you got inside of my mind but the SAME EXACT THING happened to me, the first time i played i just thought “Huh, i guess this is fun.” But after finishing my first run, i stopped. Next day, i played again and i ended up quitting, thinking it was boring. 7 months later, i started to play again, and i was hooked.

Atari 2600 box-art WAS the masterpiece! With respect to covers, it's been all downhill from there.

"Shovelware" doesn't just mean "bad game." It specifically means games that are ment to be bundled together with a console. The problem with games these days is that everyone is copying the App/Play store model which let's almost anyone upload their games even if they're total frauds.

Can I rizz up your W gyatt

7 minutes of intro 🙏

god its wierd seeing retro footage of something i was alive for

You've made a lot of good points about the longevity of the Gamecube's popularity. I believe one of the biggest factors of this is that the audience that usually goes for the more realistic and visually impressive games will usually just go onto the next console for what they want. I may be incorrect, but my impression of people who play racing, sports and military FPS games (which all look their best on the PS2 rather than gamecube) will more typically move on to the bigger better games. If I want to have the best time playing Call of Duty, I'll probably pick the latest one. However, Nintendo games have a quality that makes them very easy to revisit. Simpler visuals don't feel as aged as more realistic ones do as time goes on. Pikmin could probably be released today and I don't think anyone would call it ugly. Metroid Prime still looks really good, and needed minimal input to make the remaster as good looking as it did. The Wind Waker remake felt kind of pointless to me as it still looks really good. There's also the fact that a lot of these Nintendo games are worth visiting because they still are pretty big today. If you like Zelda, you're probably going to pick up Wind Waker, which as I mentioned, has not really aged that much. In each series there's a continuity of games that do something different enough that they don't out-date the others. Despite people's frustration that there hasn't been a new F-Zero game, it's probably part of their approach to making sequels that they never want to make a game look or feel like 'the old one'. This is not to dunk on games that have tried to push the limits to present realism, as a lot of those games are still really fun regardless of the age, but Nintendo series Also this is the last of my multi-paragraph comments. I guess I just really like the gamecube.

Dude it’s not even just the games industry generative ai ruins it’s EVERY CREATIVE INDUSTRY. Film? Yep. Art? Yep. Voice acting? You betcha. I really REALLY want to see heavy restrictions placed on it but being completely honest I know it’s not coming. Before long every company and their parent companies will see green and adopt this kind of thing. Like vultures to a corpse

reason why I rarely browse the Nintendo Switch store

The reason Nintendo got stuck with the 'for kids' reputation is because Nintendo has always been that in comparison to whatever they're competing with. The Sega Genesis was marketed as more 'mature' than the NES, Sonic was supposed to be a little edgier than the Mickey Mouse adjacent Mario Bros. When I think of the PS1, I think Metal Gear Solid, FF7, Castlevania. When I think N64 or Gamecube, i think Mario, Zelda, Kirby, and a lot of great games that can totally be played by kids without a single thing to worry about for parents at the time. Although there are plenty of games on the Gamecube rated T or M, and even first party ones like Metroid and eventually Twilight Princess that have a not-so-cartoony tone, it's still the Mario console. You've got Sunshine, Mario Sports games, Mario Party, and Super Smash Bros, probably one of the least attached to reality fighting games. Also, this is when Pokemon was getting to be absolutely inescapable, and it probably spoke pretty loudly that the property that seemed to tower above all others happened to be for kids, and happened to be a Nintendo property. Nintendo will probably always be the one you get for your kids. None of this is to say that any of these games aren't good for an older audience, but it may be inescapable unless they decided to abandon appealing to younger children (which would be the dumbest thing they could possibly do).

I disagree that Nintendo's focus on power began with the Gamecube. Unless you count the NES (being one of the biggest gamechangers in video game history), it's been a pretty standard climb with not many gimmicks. Unless you're counting the N64's weird controller (which I have to love because it was my first game controller), I think Nintendo really only started gimmicks with the DS and the Wii. I was originally very scared of the Nintendo Switch, but I love it now. I do wish it was more powerful though. I shouldn't have to turn to emulating a console to get 60 FPS on a mario game.

The way this man at 1:24 grips the controller is fascinating

Generative AI only incentivizes people to be lazy and greedy AF. Trying to use it as "tool" for artistic matters only hinders the process as you can already get far better references from literally any other source and doing "paint-overs" takes way too much time and effort that often falls flat from your main idea. Ergojosh is a prime example of these two aspects with his crazy red haired chick pic that took over 100+ hours to make! Further proving this generative tech ain't worth your time as an artist.

I wonder how the PS Vita would have been received if it launched at $200 (LCD screen, no rear touchpad, no 4G) and used regular MicroSD cards.

Just a note for 5:47 , Roblox came out a decade before Fortnite. It has always had a playerbase but it did get a boom in popularity from 2016-2018 before it was (in my opinion) over shadowed by the Minecraft renaissance.

Yo Carnival on the Wii went pretty hard, don’t be dissing

video game crash of 2025

I saw them do exact copies of Games. Can't Developers just go for a Copyright strike against them? Or do Games like the tcg shop simulator doesnt have a copyright on them?

The entire mobile industry in a nutshell

Shovelware thrives off of platforms that cater to young kids. Take roblox for example, primarily inhabited by massive amounts of VERY young kids. Roblox consists ALMOST ENTIRELY of thousands of mass produced cashcrab shovelware garbage. Unfortunate that AI is causing such garbage to spread from roblox and the mobile market onto other platforms.

honestly so relatable lol

this generation is really good at talking about nothing for extended periods of time.

Blame yourselves You keep buying it, they'll keep selling it You ruined the gaming industry with microtransactions Ruined it with Pre orders Ruined it with super duper gold deluxe mega legendary consoomer editions Ruined it with buying games day one despite devs constant reputation for day one dlc and broken buggy games Shovelware should be just want you enjoy too Reap what you sow

Problem is this will not change because its not the miniscule amount of money they make from shovelware games that matter. Its the slightly more costly process of moderating their marketplace that’s the issue. Thats the same reason Amazon and Ebay is full of chinese knockoffs, junk or scams and only act when people have already gotten ripped off. They take the “fix it after it gets brought up” approach as opposed to “prevent it from happening at all” Sounds cliche but its why i hate capitalism so much, before it was a contest of “best product makes the most sales” now its a matter of managing to sell the most mediocre product and cutting the costs of it along the way to maximize profits thats the model.

This was the smoothest example of the e shop because I know the eshop lags hard af

9:25 saving this timestamp for.... Reasons

I got lucky… had an early model 360 and didn’t get the red ring for 5 years 😂

‘Physical games’ for the ps5? Gahahaha

1:36 why is there a kitten on that person’s shoulder!?

The Definition of Shovelware: Low effort, broken, and lazy games developed for the soul purpose of making money fast. "Oh... That's just AAA Gaming but with a $5.00 price tag."

most gamers are moving to PC anyways. They should drop the console and focus on PC gaming. sucks to see the xBox go out like this but I think it's a little to late. question is who will challenge Sony?
