He's a public figure so it's all fair game. Remember NBA Jam having multiple US presidents?

30 minutes of Shaq Fu DLC starring Barack Obama
- Thread starter Sander VF
- Start date
That's what I thought of
That wacky Obama and his wacky love of drone strikes
Wow, a game officially trashing Marine le pen... kinda strange.
The first Shaq Fu was made by Delphine Software, witch is french. But the new game, I have no idea who are the devs and were they come from.
But yeah, since le pen is like the (almost) official female Voldemort, I'm ok with this.

Pretty much everything about this game is great except for the actual gameplay, which is a shame.
I can see this being really creative to have Con-Ye be the second to last boss, but Trump is the final boss and his attacks range from golf swings to hateful tweets. But...the gameplay isn't doing anything for me. The opening cutscene was funny though.
Trump is already in the game. He is the first boss you encounter. It's pretty lazy and boring though. You can see it in the video below (at around the 27 minute mark)

Holy fucking shit, this is something. Almost makes me want to buy it.
That Clinton administration joke though... yikes.
EDIT - The drone strike special? Come on, Saber. That shit isn't right.

Oh, never saw the whole video. So I guess Con-Ye is the final boss here then.
So if someone can compile a list of cutscenes from this and the regular Shaq Fu, that'd be greaaaaat. They're easily the best things about the game and the writing staff should be proud

Oh yeah. Not sure what I was thinking there. Even by American standards, she is probably pretty far to the right.

Also, it seems Trump was parodied rather scathingly in the main game.
This game is crass and much of the humour is in poor taste, but some alt-right production it isn't.
His special ability being a drone strike caught me way off guard. Love it, though!
I wish more games did stuff like this. I loved seeing the Clintons and Michael Jackson in Ready 2 Rumble Boxing.

"I haven't played it but I've seen it. I gotta say folks, it's bad. It's not good. That's what the kids are saying too. Listen to the kids. It's really bad. The graphics aren't very good, if I'm being perfectly honest. There's a lot of bad stuff there. And the controls? Terrible. That's what I keep hearing. Really terrible. Hard to control. And you look at the way they make Obama look - he doesn't look like that. I think they made him look much better than in person, frankly. Not an insult folks but I don't think he looks that good. Maybe I'm biased, I don't know. I think if you put me in a game I'd look better. Let me tell you the sales would be much, much higher. You would run out of downloads the sales would be so high. Maybe we should tell Bill Gates or one of those computer guys to go ahead and make that game. Would make them a lot of money. People want to play me, they don't want to play Barrack Obama."
I think it's bizarre it exists at all, lol. But my apologies if I came off conspiratorial.
I didn't even know it was possible to parody people in this manner, in games, without their input.
It's a caricature for a parody and he's a public figure. I'm sure it's squarely covered under the First Amendment, at least until the Republicans finish gutting the Constitution.
I think this might technically be the longest we've ever gone from preview to publish!
Clearly worth the wait
If this game ever hits around $10 in an eShop sale, I may pick it up just to experience all the crazy.
I got Shaq Fu for free via the NBA Playgrounds patch debacle, but I would totally buy this DLC for the right price. The core game is dumb simplistic fun with some awful 90's humor. People are saying Barack Fu is only available with the physical version of the game though, and won't be made available to download for digital owners. Bummer, if true.
Was just watching a playthrough of part of the game, and I don't understand the praise for the writting. It's racist and even had a lame homophobic joke. I didn't understand what the joke was supposed to be at first. It's all very "anti-pc" I guess, but it's like the writers just stopped evolving in the late 90's eary 00's.
That said, there were some moments that got a chuckle out of me, and almost worked (like Chinatown in China) for example. I suppose they needed a skilled editor with a good sense of humour to lead the team. The crazier aspects would work much better, imo.
This new expansion seems a bit better in that it's lampooning current politicians, it's at least topical. I'm not sure I agree with the drone joke as being off limits, as it throws out there a real controversial problem with the Obama presidency that many of my fellow Americans and Obama fans don't like discussing, for example.
