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 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.
Jorudan made a lot of underrated good games, but those that are brought outside Japan has them under the label of the publisher, as in they're almost uncredited outside of Japan.
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.
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 😂
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).
Iirc when a bunch of DDI hard drives resurfaced there might have been a prototype of that zool game included but I might be very wrong and I’m going off memory here
@@Mario583a windows is pretty decent at detecting so i wouldnt suggest using external AV applications, its usually just bloat and adware.

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!
@@Rexicojone lmao not sure why you're so upset that I want this one single game. I would absolutely buy it if I saw the game for sale and had the money. It's still more useful than something else like sealed games because I can actually use it lol.
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 😅.
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
Homebrew is legal. Not only that, emulation is legal (per Sony v Bleem!), and making disk backups is perfectly legal as long as you don't distribute them. Do this shit proudly 🗿
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!
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.
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".
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.
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.
... 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
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).
When I was a little kid, my uncle brought his Wii and his few games to a family gathering. I really wanted to play one game with promising cover art, but he refused - I cried and screamed, but he didn’t budge. That game was Ninjabread Man… I owe my uncle a great debt.
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
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
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 😂
Half way through watching this I was joking with my friend about how after a few vids of autoplay on a YT kids video, it would probably end up on how to make pipe bombs. I was NOT prepared for where this vid was going...
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.
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
Yeah I agree it has good vibes. Tbh there are still a lot of good UA-camrs and videos on here, their channels are just less well known and more obscure. But I enjoy supporting small creators much more
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'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.
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!!
This could be a start of an amazing series. I'd love an episode of playing worst ps2 and ps1 games, or even eyetoy and stuff like that would be amazing
Yeah I remember liking the PC version as a kid. Years later I learned it was made by DDI so I went back and replayed to see if it was as good as I remembered, and surprisingly it still holds up pretty good. I can't help but wonder if something changed internally in the company at the turn of the century that made them completely shift development strategies.
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!
so if this guy stops upploading we can all assume why that is. and im not talking about the fake pipe bomb, i mean nintendo got him for downloading the games
19:30 I remember getting the Anubis game as a kid and I thought that I was very stupid for not being good at it but it's so vindicating to know that it was just an ass game
LJN is like a cash grab company What ever cartoon that aired on tv the company will use it and turn it into a game in like a year or less , a lot of time , they would reuse the same level designs from their last game and re theme it for another cartoon to save time and money , or they even mix up the order of the levels they already use for another game so players won’t notice
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
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
Ugh this just reminds me of my childhood 😭 I remember having a copy of M&M beach party, which was essentially a mini game collection that barely functioned but you had this really creepy barren overworld and I just remember being a little M&M character running around on a beach going from one broken mini game to another. Time to do a deep dive 🥴
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

@@NottJoeyOfficialyeah the oldest games had to be about 19 years old from some of his first videos
The Vimm's lair joke made me sad.
Fuuuuck. The intro comment about the Wii being the favorite of kids with divorced parents simultaneously cut deep and made me crack up
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
What in the Columbine was that ending?
That Vimm's Lair bit aged like fucking milk.
I REMEMBER HATING MONKEY MISCHIEF SO MUCH it horrified me that the monkeys died via going down the toilet drain 💀
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
5:08 You did it. You killed Vimm’s Lair.
I am greening out so hard and the chemicals are reallyscaring me a lot
i was shocked to see someone even mention punch-out in 2024, thank you for that
It's always nice to see someone new discover Data Design Interactive
RIP vimm, you were awesome
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 😂
Half way through watching this I was joking with my friend about how after a few vids of autoplay on a YT kids video, it would probably end up on how to make pipe bombs.
I was NOT prepared for where this vid was going...
I like the Silent Hill 2 music during the "am I really going to use a pipe bomb?" bit towards the end.
DDI sends their regards and thanks you for playing the perfectly crafted games.
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.
Outta pocket for that Alvin scene 🤣🤣
Wow I'm just in the intro and it's all Data Design Interactive.
Bro I woke up to this and he's just casually making a pipe bomb!? I thought this a review on Wii games LMAO
RIP Vimms no more Nintendo titles, you gave the game away!
i thought i was the only to suffer the dreaded alvin and the chipmunks game
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
Yeah I agree it has good vibes. Tbh there are still a lot of good UA-camrs and videos on here, their channels are just less well known and more obscure. But I enjoy supporting small creators much more
That cat game looks legit good, ngl.
What's very unserious about Japanese is I can only read Kanji because of mandarin classes😭😭
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 love how they made a racing game for the Wii that looks worse than most racing games for the N64 or DS
Ah yes, my favourite bad kart racing game, *Eminem Kart Racing*
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.
I don't think I'll ever forget the "Mario kart on an 8th" line. I howled lmao
Not a single flinch at the smoke alarms, this man is dedicated to the video
BRO I DIDN'T EXPECT THE US CONSTITUTION TO MAKE A CAMEO IN THIS I LOVE THEIR CONTENT
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!!
This could be a start of an amazing series. I'd love an episode of playing worst ps2 and ps1 games, or even eyetoy and stuff like that would be amazing
Lego Rock Raiders was actually a cool RTS game that happened to be designed by DDI. Well before their Wii shovelware days.
Yeah I remember liking the PC version as a kid. Years later I learned it was made by DDI so I went back and replayed to see if it was as good as I remembered, and surprisingly it still holds up pretty good. I can't help but wonder if something changed internally in the company at the turn of the century that made them completely shift development strategies.
did i just learn how to make a pipe present???
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!
Ain’t no way this ends in a tutorial on how to make a pipebomb
Hey, DDI made rock raiders, and that game is absolutely legendary.
this guy should be put on a list he gives off potential mass shooter vibes
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!
Quite possibly the most unhinged video ive watched in a while, very nice
so if this guy stops upploading we can all assume why that is. and im not talking about the fake pipe bomb, i mean nintendo got him for downloading the games
8:07 “ghetto blaster”
you know the game is obscure when searching it on youtube doesnt give much and the wikipedia has "wii" in the game title
19:30 I remember getting the Anubis game as a kid and I thought that I was very stupid for not being good at it but it's so vindicating to know that it was just an ass game
Rip Vimms Lair 🫡
It's easier to use USB Loader GX, just open USB Loader GX, put in your game, click install, and you're done
It looks like Data Design Interactive game is the new version of LJN games
LJN is like a cash grab company
What ever cartoon that aired on tv the company will use it and turn it into a game in like a year or less , a lot of time , they would reuse the same level designs from their last game and re theme it for another cartoon to save time and money , or they even mix up the order of the levels they already use for another game so players won’t notice
I call them cash grab companies
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
Hey my parents weren‘t divorced!!!
The were never married in the first place.
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
Ugh this just reminds me of my childhood 😭 I remember having a copy of M&M beach party, which was essentially a mini game collection that barely functioned but you had this really creepy barren overworld and I just remember being a little M&M character running around on a beach going from one broken mini game to another. Time to do a deep dive 🥴
Another video getting a well deserved place in my „best UA-cam videos ever“ playlist.
Data Design Interactive must have been laundering money or something
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
