Look at this Switch game

[Robin64]

Look at it.

It's called "Basketball"

How? How do you make something that looks that bad? Even using one of many free engines or whatever out there doesn't give you something looking like this. Had a good laugh at this for a few minutes, for sure.

I don't normally like to poke fun at amateur devs or whatever, but in this case they got approved to make games for Switch, which was apparently once hard, then delivered this.

More shots here!

And they're asking £7.20 for it, too. Out tomorrow!

Nice, we finally got a sequel to Life of a Black Tiger!

 

[toythatkills]

I couldn't make that no matter what engine you gave me.

 

[Renna Hazel]

Day1.

 

[Gifmaker]

The download size is roughly 1GB, too. It's really something.

 

[RobFox64tm]

Wow.

I managed to forget that abomination and now is back on my mind ffs.

 

[Velocity:Design:Comfort]

The default workspace plane in unity has better graphics than this, and it's just the floor.

Looks like a "My first project" unity tutorial example game.

It's not exactly an engine issue. Those assets would look just as bad in any engine.

Okay but what I really meant by that was that an amateur dev would usually grab something already created and free or cheap to begin with.

1 GB? Loooool. There are Wii/Gamecube games that need less space and actually have textures and look 1000000x better.

 

[FormatCompatible]

Wait, so you are telling this is not a port of some obscure PS1 european basketball game?

Dafuq did I just watch?

 

[AcridMeat]

Takes me back to NBA Live 95 on the Gameboy.

 

[Soundtrack2chaos]

Looks like a phone game from 2006. Typical nonsense you expect to find on steam or the eshop. No class at all these companies.

 

[Putosaure]

Looks almost too real

Posted on the official PlayStation page too, lol.

At least it doesn't have microtransactions like 2k

Dreamcast graphics on a PS4.

 

[7threst]

Somehow I need this. I guess it fills a hole in my soul I normally fill by having sex with people whos name I can't remember the moment I meet them.

Tl;dr: bought

 

[OnanieBomb]

Who could ever forget The Letter on Wii U


Edit: Me failing to properly embed an image just about does The Letter justice

 

[Fosko]

Travis Strikes Agains doesn't look much better and still gets lots of attention.

 

[tolkir]

Look the other games of the developer (Sabec), they are similar. It's the LJN of Switch. Pool, Air Hockey, etc. Truly they think the titles.

 

[Link_enfant]

It'd be fun if the game actually looked amazing docked then instantly turns into this in portable mode.

 

[Deleted member 7572]

Ugh, why did I waste my eShop money for the week on R-Type Dimensions EX and Horizon Chase?

:(

 

[SergioFerrazJr]

[Doggg]

Some kind of mutant pod people basketball?

 

[BAN PUNCHER]

NBA Live 20 sure looks promising.

A nice reminder that it's not just Steam that gets shovelware. Contrary to popular belief.
The seal of quality sure gets thrown around these days :p

 

[Deleted member 5491]

Well, that company has spit out several "games" this year. 3 of em during one week in Feburary.
NIntendo please, curate your shop better, like what the fuck!?

Probably this title is going to get more attention on Resetera now that all these games that release too this week.

This War of Mine, Football Manager 2019 Touch, Spintirer, Nairi, Cattails, ABZÛ, Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP and more

 

[Herb Alpert]

So bad it's so bad

 

[Jackano]

Apparently this is their website?

[timvasion]

A prime example of shovelware...

 

[Dyle]

Despite being a crappy shovelware game it's still probably the best basketball game released this year

Sad but true.

 

[Robdraggoo]

I like the title, short simple and to the point. Combined with that image, it's the Nintendo black box basketball game we never got.

 

[LordOcidax]

Take my money.

 

[Deleted member 48897]

Not sure what OP is complaining about, that certainly looks like a basketball game to me

You underestimate the Dreamcast

 

[Xun]

We laugh but watch this become game of the year.

 

[maximumzero]

Oof, Nintendo really needs to get some sort of quality standards in place for the eShop or it'll be flooded with this sort of low-effort nonsense.

 

[Psychonaut]

This looks like it took one guy two years to make.

Games are hard.
