By all means, not the worst game ever, but the biggest let down for the 3DS. Having a title like Yoshi's Island and the power of the 3DS, I expected something big from it. Instead, we got a game with boring repetitive music, bad level design, horrible sound effects, eh graphics, and slow, broken gameplay that was insultingly easy. Quite possibly the worst Yoshi game yet.

Donkey Kong Country Returns.

Might just be me, but I find trying to relive my awesome childhood gaming on the SNES, it always ends in tears :cry:

I've probably put more hours into donkey kong country 2 than any other game. Pure and simple awesomeness.

Naruto shippuden the new era. I've played naruto sidescrollers before, but this is just stupidly repetitive and boring. Returned it within the hour lol

Yeah, I played this game for like an hour and just gave up on it. It seemed like the whole thing would be a slow, repetitive lag through a story-less maze.

It seemed more like they made it purely to cash in on the popularity of Yoshi.

I have to agree with CtG. I think Shovelware and other low budget titles know they are going to be bad. But when it comes to expectations and well know IPs, this one takes the cake. Full promise with an awful delivery.

YOUNG. JUSTICE. LEGACY.

No. Guys..
Guys.
Im fucking serious.

Its worse than Superman 64. Worse than ET.
Its THE.WORST.GAME.EVER.MADE.

Im 99% sure it was still in pre alpha and they just ran out of money/time and said fuck it.

Its practically unplayable. Its a disgrace it was ever allowed to be sold. "Nintendo seal of quality" my ass

Heres a review from nintendolife ....

Young Justice: Legacy doesn't try to do a whole lot, but what the game does attempt to do is pulled off with spectacular atrocity. Quite literally everything about the game is terrible, from its shocking technical incompetence to its vacant design. Friends, don't let anyone play, speak of, look at, or ponder the existence of Young Justice: Legacy. Shoot on sight. Bury deep. Curse its grave. Honestly, just thinking about this game makes our blood boil.

My personal pick: Blazblue Continuum Shift II

On consoles, this game is pretty good. But on the 3DS? Its controls just ruin the experience. You can't even re-configure them to use the circle pad if you wanted. You have to use the tiny D-pad which just isn't very good on the 3DS. This game is meant to be played fast and you just feel sluggish playing it.
And! It is not very well optimized either. Downgraded visuals and lag make it very un-enjoyable. And NO online play. It was a total botch job of a port in a time where the 3DS was just starting out.
Almost word for word my experience of Senran Kagura Burst.

The ads made it seem like a funny pick up, but I was disappointed in it having almost no depth and it's just button mashing till your thumbs are sore... :-/

Project X zone.

What is it supposed to be? A strategy RPG game with a collection of famous characters from games and anime

What is it actually? A collection of famous characters from games and anime.
You know its funny, I was so hype when this game came out but once I played it and got a few chapters in I just plain lost interest. Im glad they kept the Japanese voices though. That was a nice touch.

The Trash Pack is definitely deservant of its name. It is by far the worst title of the 50 or so that I've played. The Regular Show is pretty high on my list.

That's how I feel when writing papers for school.

That being said, I also didn't particularly like the Pushmo series. It just got to be really repetitive, pulling and pushing in blocks constantly. After a while, it was really just rinse-and-repeat. Rather mindless.

Well, yeah. I know there are far worse games on the 3DS, but I'm not going to pay $40 for something I don't enjoy. Pokemon Y is the one I like the least that I've played on 3DS. That doesn't mean it's bad, just that I only buy games that I'm sure I'll enjoy beforehand. Though, if we're considering demos, I'll throw the Sonic Boom Demo into the mix.

Its probably because developing that game still cost them money, so by releasing it anyway, they are trying to recoup at least something out of sales from uneducated consumers.


This is pretty relevant to your question I think.



ET for the Atari 2600. 'Nuff said.
