What up! After sitting at a few thousand views, UA-cam seems to be pushing this video to a lot of folks over 2 years later. The algorithm works in mysterious ways! You might have noticed that this was the last upload on my channel. After making this video, I decided to take a break from UA-cam to focus on school. Since then, my interests and hobbies have shifted a bit. I might go back to making videos one day (I have a few cool ideas), but even if I don’t, I just wanted to thank you all for checking this one out!
It's sad how much they milked Moorhuhn and made it into a throwaway joke on current gen. It really used to be HELLA popular around Germany, Czech, Poland. There was multiple installments, christmas, haloween editions, we LOVED it. Each one also had tons of easter eggs, urban legends we used to whisper around in school, like "Hey did you know that if you shoot the church bell 10 times and then shoot the Snowman's head, fireworks will start??". The OG games truly had heart in them.
In fact, Moorhuhn is so popular, there exists a series of animated shorts loosely based on the games, involving the chicken getting into lots of shenanigans.
I am from Germany and i can explain some of the Crazy Chicken Stuff. It is called Moorhuhn here and it was pretty popular as a game you sent to collegues on the job. It even has its own song( its called gimme gimme mohr huhn) . Its was very popular in germany and they still try to milk the franchise. Tbh the first games were simple but fun, since the have a lot of secrets
Also, the footage in the beginning of this video looks almost identical to the Moorhuhn Game i played on my dad's Computer 20 years ago. But I therefore wouldn't really call it shovelware, instead it's just a port of an old game.
@@Schlecknits It's actually from a remake of the original game. By this point that remake is also pretty old and it's the base for all modern ports of the first game.
@@vcdgamer it wasn't a demo, THAT WAS THE ENTIRE GAME dude. ALL their games are short timewasters with nothing to them. Moorhuhn Soccer is another one.
For what it's worth, there is actually a way to browse the Switch eShop by game genre, you just have to do a little searching. And by that I mean there's a section in the "Search/Browse" tab that lets you sort games by their tagged genre.
As a member of the trophy hunting community, I will say that the shovelware garbage with easy trophies is very controversial. Reasonably I don't care but some people get very angry about it
Whats really scummy about data design interactive platformers is that originally it was gonna be a reboot of the cult classic 16 bit platformer zool. but the rightsholders rejected the pitch because of quality concerns, instead of scrapping the game they literally split thier already made prototype into several other games so ninjabreadman was world 1 of zool prototype trixie in toyland was another world, ect. There are even files left over in the game that reference these other worlds that match up with other ddi platformers themes.
I knew that Ninjabread Man was spun off from Zool 3, but not the other bit. But now that you mention it, their themes do line up pretty well with the world themes of Zool (candy world = Ninjabread Man, music world = that Elvis game etc).
0:04, I have on switch, and 3DS "Crazy Chicken" also known as Morhun is a long running series since the pc of chicken games from (i believe? Germany) he even had his own cartoon- So one could argue Morhun is more quote "lisenced slop" but since the games came first technically speaking it's just a long running game series
How to solve the problem: allow us to 'hide' games from certain developers. EG: Highlight the game, press a button, choose "hide games from this developer". Done.
Just got this recommended and I gotta say I expected you to have more subscribers because of the effort in the editing and the good pace the video has. I think I found a gem, very good job you got a new sub!
moorhuhn kart 2 is a great game. it has cool items good level design and shortcuts. its a reamke btw they changed some iteams and the music. also the swithc verison has a online multiplayer
as a german HOW DARE YOU DISGRACE MOORHUHN LIKE THIS? ITS A DAMN NATIONAL ICON AND YOU CALL IT A "BAD GAME" anyway good vid and congrats on the algorithm pushing you
I saw that first game (Crazy Chicken Shooter Edition Wanted Remake) at a store here in Brazil and it was the cheapest game I found, but sitting between other masterpieces.
I could have sworn I played this game back in 2006 on my PC. The downside was the language was in german. How on earth did it find its way to the PS5!?!
Hell, I had a copy of a Crazy Chicken game (The Good, The Egg and the Ugly) where he runs through a jungle avoiding obstacles. Pretty decent platformer. Sad to see it's been reduced to just shovelware slop...
This video was really good. Like really good. The structure and the flow of the video and the quality of the video just made it a joy to watch and listen to while I was at work and not losing focus from the video not even once.
My sister bought Crazy Chicken X for the PS2 back in 2007 thinking it would be a 3D Platformer kind of game. Even at the age of 10 or so, she was disappointed in it. Didn’t learn her lesson though as she bought Ninjabread Man on the Wii less than a year later.
@ See my dad was with her both times - he even warned her that Ninjabread Man was going to be crap because of Crazy Chicken but didn’t manage to talk her out of buying it.
9:17 - Pancake Bar Tycoon, Death and Taxes, and Sudo Cats, all of which are shovelware. Might want to redo your hypothesis about trophies and the eShop being immune to shovelware, when it's right there when you open up the eShop.
It looked like you were going to refund Final Fantasy XIV and I raised an eyebrow. Jokes aside, another great video. Your editing is always very stylish, but never overwhelming, and I appreciate that. Great to see ya back making videos.
After Concord's failure, Sony became desperate to have more than minus one game on the PS5 PS: Love the Sex Pistols font and the editing style overall. +1 sub
Seeing the Crazy Chicken title takes me back to when I played Crazy Chicken’s Atlantis Quest on the DS. Definitely a rushed game, controls are hit or miss, but simply loved it cause it was mindless platforming with somewhat banger of a soundtrack.
crazy chicken shooter is one of my childhood games lol, i remember playin it for hours on my family computer alongside neighbors from hell games and insaniquarium
There are a good number of these games and they are fairly iconic. It certainly surprises me that they got released on current gen tho, they feel like a relic of when physical PC releases were still popular in the 2000s and early 2010s.
Both the WiiU and the 3DS eShops had curated lists, recommendations by users and a better sort function by game genres. It also tells you which games had a physical release and which ones are digital only. The Switch eShop is literally worst in every single way except maybe the starting load time.
the game was on pc in windows xp times (the chicken game of course) you could find the game in like those games magazines in 2015 and the games were good for 2000
Nice video, you really covered the most terrible aspect of shovelware/asset flip on the PlayStation Store which yeah, are the trophies, people still think that is an unnecesssry feature in gaming but they don't know that has a big market behind it thanks to the trophy hunters. Unfortunately thanks to those type of games I quited trophy hunting years ago (well that and also because I got bored). By the way at 12:15. You forgot one that also it should be included: make sure that every title has a demo version, can be either timed or a part of it so people can try it first and judge by themselves, I remember that the old Xbox 360 marketplace Microsoft had a policy that every digital game must have a demo version and the "unlock key".
I never see these games on my PS4 or Xbox Series X. Am I not looking in the right (or in this case wrong) place, or is this a problem unique to the PS5?
Takune: so what would be the perfect store front? Me: he hasn't mentioned the Xbox storefront yet. *One minute later* Me: oh come on Jokes aside, great video bud
11:50 - This might be a bit of a hot take but if a game takes less time to complete (without speedrunning) than the grace window for a refund, that game shouldn't be sold for money.
I come back to Moorhuhn every now and then for fun. On PC the first 3 games are German classics, short and fun. The Kart one was just a logical thing with its popularity here in Germany. Similar to Doom and installed on nearly every PC at work. I could it play when visiting my dad at work in his office. With the end of the PlayStation Moorhuhn X came out and the hype was over. Every now and then I spot a releaseand think to myself "that still exist?" You cant get the Moorhuhn killed regulardless of how bad the games are. It survived even its publisher that went into shady business.
I agree with your video pretty much entirely. I just want to carve out a space for something I've wanted for a long time. There is nothing inherently wrong with a developer who using the same engine and mechanics to deliver new content in a game. While this is a cost-saving measure that can be abused, it is also a opportunity to focus on that content and make a richer story, better art/sound, etc. I've often wanted more games like this and for them to be given more respect. Diablo 2 is my best example of this. That engine could have had dozens of additional acts where they just made new stories, added new areas and new loot and I would have bought them all. So good games can be identical in function, provided its used to deliver quality in the form.
Is this from the people who made chicken shoot?? I had that game on ds (it's on wii too) idk where it went, probobly for the best of it, but the gameplay is basically the same as this!!
GoG has the best refund policy and also they're very strict with quality control so there is no shovelware. Plus all the games are DRM free. The Galaxy launcher is also the best, you can boot up games from different launchers from there.
i remember when me and my boys used to play moorhuhn and now its considered shovelware just because they ported such a masterpiece to the ps5? honestly that just makes the game unfold its true potential you see 💀
A form of quality control really is required, especially with the growth and accessibility of AI, which many developers can use to put out games even faster. Then, you also have the UA-camrs who want to play these games just so they can get some views of them, so there is clearly a demand for these games, earning money to the storefront owners. For me, the Nintendo Switch eShop is the worst offender with its lack of filtering.
The eshop is horrible from the load times making you wait every time you move the screen to terrible category features They haven’t changed anything in like 5 yrs
Moorhuhn or crazy chicken games are not that bad. Except the mobile ports made recently (And the definitely used the mobile port for the ps5 version). The older games have a better quality in it

Yeah i thought it was just some old video that had 17k views
oh so it wasn't just me, also i love the editing of your intro
for some reason UA-cam started to recommend me lots of 2-3 year old videos from abandoned channels lol
great video bro gl with school
🔔 just in case
I wish crazy chicken shooter edition won game of the year back in 2022

…Sorry-you’re trolling, right?
yea
I got gifted pretty much the same game twice for my Wii. It was the Ninjabread one and the Elvis one. They haunt me til this day.
チョロ松 pfp 👏👏👏
Im sorry for your loss

I remember playing the game on my PC way back then. Although it was a demo, it was still pretty fun. Hard, but fun.
IT was a Advertisement Game. It was supposed To be an ad vor Johnny Walker Whiskey
@@vcdgamer it wasn't a demo, THAT WAS THE ENTIRE GAME dude. ALL their games are short timewasters with nothing to them. Moorhuhn Soccer is another one.
crazy chicken looks like something pre-fnaf scott cawthon would make
Crazy chicken/Moorhuhn are german artistic masterpieces.
sure

man crazy chicken 1999 was going crazy in german even the critic score was bad it is loved by many german people
Its because the 1999 copy forgot to include any sort of copy protection. So free copies of it quickly spread around the internet.
Whats really scummy about data design interactive platformers is that originally it was gonna be a reboot of the cult classic 16 bit platformer zool. but the rightsholders rejected the pitch because of quality concerns, instead of scrapping the game they literally split thier already made prototype into several other games so ninjabreadman was world 1 of zool prototype trixie in toyland was another world, ect.

return of the king
Ello valskibum
I was gifted Chicken shooter for the PS5 as a joke gift. Clucked in over 100 hours into it! Amazing game!
Heh, I get it.
How to solve the problem: allow us to 'hide' games from certain developers. EG: Highlight the game, press a button, choose "hide games from this developer". Done.
Just got this recommended and I gotta say I expected you to have more subscribers because of the effort in the editing and the good pace the video has. I think I found a gem, very good job you got a new sub!
my favourite fact about that chicken is that it has loose relations to Nintendo's Mario Kart series due to a prototype that was once found
moorhuhn kart 2 is a great game.
it has cool items
good level design and shortcuts.
its a reamke btw they changed some iteams and the music.
also the swithc verison has a online multiplayer
as a german HOW DARE YOU DISGRACE MOORHUHN LIKE THIS? ITS A DAMN NATIONAL ICON AND YOU CALL IT A "BAD GAME"
anyway good vid and congrats on the algorithm pushing you
I saw that first game (Crazy Chicken Shooter Edition Wanted Remake) at a store here in Brazil and it was the cheapest game I found, but sitting between other masterpieces.
I could have sworn I played this game back in 2006 on my PC. The downside was the language was in german.
How on earth did it find its way to the PS5!?!
Moorhuhn
Hell, I had a copy of a Crazy Chicken game (The Good, The Egg and the Ugly) where he runs through a jungle avoiding obstacles. Pretty decent platformer. Sad to see it's been reduced to just shovelware slop...
woahh back with the sick editing and the cool bg music?? love the new vid, i learn something new every time i watch a video of yours!!
There is a group of horse games on PS4 that are all basically exactly the same and even share the same map
There ARE SO MUCH
This video was really good. Like really good. The structure and the flow of the video and the quality of the video just made it a joy to watch and listen to while I was at work and not losing focus from the video not even once.
Dude. The effort you put in this video is just amazing! How this vid doesn't have at the very least 50k views is beyond me.
fun fact: shovelware is also a game studio name
My sister bought Crazy Chicken X for the PS2 back in 2007 thinking it would be a 3D Platformer kind of game. Even at the age of 10 or so, she was disappointed in it.
Didn’t learn her lesson though as she bought Ninjabread Man on the Wii less than a year later.
Moral of story
Dont let children buying stuff on their own
@ See my dad was with her both times - he even warned her that Ninjabread Man was going to be crap because of Crazy Chicken but didn’t manage to talk her out of buying it.
the old windows version was my favorite game when I was a child I remember getting scared as a kid of the red background of the main menu
Three friends, a lot of beer, bag of drugs, bag of random McDonalds food, two pizzas, and this game. Name something better.
I really like the Takune title card at the beginning, it give this analog/manual puppeteer feeling cause of the way they move.
This chicken made it into A doom called "byoc'
9:17 - Pancake Bar Tycoon, Death and Taxes, and Sudo Cats, all of which are shovelware. Might want to redo your hypothesis about trophies and the eShop being immune to shovelware, when it's right there when you open up the eShop.
Really liked the transitions and editing!! Great video :D
that black and white and the font kinda remind me of critters for sale... its a cool point and click game if you havent heard of it
I didn't expect a video with such little views to be so well-edited. Much respect!!
It looked like you were going to refund Final Fantasy XIV and I raised an eyebrow. Jokes aside, another great video. Your editing is always very stylish, but never overwhelming, and I appreciate that. Great to see ya back making videos.
HAHA, I’m probably well over the refund limit for Final Fantasy XIV by like…a lot of hours. Happy to be back!
I love the style of these videos. I'm looking foward to what you will share next :)
Please come back 🙏 SUCH good content!
After Concord's failure, Sony became desperate to have more than minus one game on the PS5
PS: Love the Sex Pistols font and the editing style overall. +1 sub
The series literally also *started* as shovelware on PC.
9:32 I was so confused thinking why was Drum 'n Fun in there until I realised this video was made 2 years ago
Seeing the Crazy Chicken title takes me back to when I played Crazy Chicken’s Atlantis Quest on the DS. Definitely a rushed game, controls are hit or miss, but simply loved it cause it was mindless platforming with somewhat banger of a soundtrack.
1:01 ain’t no way I got this exact same bs as a cd in some random gaming magazine I brought in a knack store like a decade ago ☠️
crazy chicken shooter is one of my childhood games lol, i remember playin it for hours on my family computer alongside neighbors from hell games and insaniquarium
There are a good number of these games and they are fairly iconic. It certainly surprises me that they got released on current gen tho, they feel like a relic of when physical PC releases were still popular in the 2000s and early 2010s.
The chicken shooter game is a remaster of Morhuhnjaghd from the 90s. Us post soviet east euros played it a lot.
This crazy chicken is supposedly returning beating mini moons up on the moon... You might have heard of it,made by the same pizza pals...
Great vid! You’re about to blow up I can feel it
Never ever trash talk Moorhuh again!
"Asset Flip" _COUGH_ _COUGH_ The Day Before!!!!
crazy chicken shooter eition sounds like an xbox 360 demo from 06
Their first game was made in 1999 so the ps5 was simply a remaster and newer port.
The one game i liked from Data Design Interactive was Austin Cooper S Racing (could also be nostalgia)
Seeing this video brings back memories of crazy chicken on the ds.
This video was beautifully edited. Big respects! 13.000 views is way too low!
goddamnit I already had to deal with shovelware games during the Nintendo Wii days
Missed you my guy, seriously underrated youtuber
3:31 words can't describe how angry this image makes me.
Moorhuhn kart is peak, let me tell you
Both the WiiU and the 3DS eShops had curated lists, recommendations by users and a better sort function by game genres.
It also tells you which games had a physical release and which ones are digital only.
The Switch eShop is literally worst in every single way except maybe the starting load time.
Nice,you finally uploaded!A good video suggestion is maybey fangames from popular rpg maker games?
Just stumbled on your channel just wanted to say that into was awesome 😊 I love the swinging letters and the music
the game was on pc in windows xp times (the chicken game of course) you could find the game in like those games magazines in 2015 and the games were good for 2000
The Switch does actually have a genre filter. It's on the search tab above Discover. Cool video and editing style btw.
ngl crazy chicken had some good games on ds
i remember one called jewel of darkness, its a puzzle platformer
Nice video, you really covered the most terrible aspect of shovelware/asset flip on the PlayStation Store which yeah, are the trophies, people still think that is an unnecesssry feature in gaming but they don't know that has a big market behind it thanks to the trophy hunters.
Unfortunately thanks to those type of games I quited trophy hunting years ago (well that and also because I got bored).
By the way at 12:15.
You forgot one that also it should be included: make sure that every title has a demo version, can be either timed or a part of it so people can try it first and judge by themselves, I remember that the old Xbox 360 marketplace Microsoft had a policy that every digital game must have a demo version and the "unlock key".
This is one of those games you would get off the rental shelves. Too bad video rental stores no longer exist
wasn’t there a chicken shoot game for the wii? i remember seeing something like this in a scott the woz video
I never see these games on my PS4 or Xbox Series X. Am I not looking in the right (or in this case wrong) place, or is this a problem unique to the PS5?
9:25
Stardew Valley purchased*
A man of culture I see :)
If I was gonna go and get a gag gift, I think Id make Big Chungus for PS5
Glad to see your back :)
I literally had the fucking chicken shooting game on my now abandoned pc like when I was 5 or something 😂😂
I remember playing this as a baby, what do you mean it's on PS5 now?!
Oh hey, he's not dead!
moorhuhn has been around since the ps1 (even if it is a mid 2000s ps1 game)
Takune: so what would be the perfect store front?
Me: he hasn't mentioned the Xbox storefront yet.
*One minute later*
Me: oh come on
Jokes aside, great video bud
6:02 feels a lot like what EA do with their sport games lol
11:50 - This might be a bit of a hot take but if a game takes less time to complete (without speedrunning) than the grace window for a refund, that game shouldn't be sold for money.
I come back to Moorhuhn every now and then for fun. On PC the first 3 games are German classics, short and fun. The Kart one was just a logical thing with its popularity here in Germany.

Also "Wanted" turned 20 this year
Amazing video as always!
crazy chicken sounds fire

Im not surprised its real i heard this series is very mainstream in Germany
When the PlayStation stars program comes out they are going to have to fix it someway
Is this from the people who made chicken shoot?? I had that game on ds (it's on wii too) idk where it went, probobly for the best of it, but the gameplay is basically the same as this!!
you need more subs man
I just got a switch, does mk8 ever go on sale? Or do I need to just bite the bullet and buy at full price?
Miss the videos :( Hope you're doing well!
I give Crazy Chicken the exception in shovel cause he looks funny. I like having him around.
AI Anime games can go to hell tho
Great editong, man. Subbed. Too bad you don't make videos anymore.
GoG has the best refund policy and also they're very strict with quality control so there is no shovelware. Plus all the games are DRM free. The Galaxy launcher is also the best, you can boot up games from different launchers from there.
i remember when me and my boys used to play moorhuhn and now its considered shovelware just because they ported such a masterpiece to the ps5?
honestly that just makes the game unfold its true potential you see 💀
A form of quality control really is required, especially with the growth and accessibility of AI, which many developers can use to put out games even faster.
Then, you also have the UA-camrs who want to play these games just so they can get some views of them, so there is clearly a demand for these games, earning money to the storefront owners.
For me, the Nintendo Switch eShop is the worst offender with its lack of filtering.
ive played chicken shoot for the wii
The eshop is horrible from the load times making you wait every time you move the screen to terrible category features
They haven’t changed anything in like 5 yrs
Also has just as much xxx shovelware as steam - yet no way to block it if you aren't interested
No way of refunding either which is one of the main reasons i dont buy digital games on Nintendo consoles. @eightcoins4401
I fail to see a reason why shovelware whose only purpose is to give people trophies deserves to exist.
Moorhuhn or crazy chicken games are not that bad. Except the mobile ports made recently (And the definitely used the mobile port for the ps5 version). The older games have a better quality in it
I checked the mobile version, it is now much closer to the original crazy chicken, why does the ps5 version still look like that
I see you Don't have Rain World...
Holy fuck, that one of the best channels that i ve see
not the GZDoom creator pfp game
Great video bro
