Spending $100+ On The WORST Switch eShop Games...AGAIN!

You'd think I'd have learned better than to do this again, but of course not! One year later, and the amount of shenanigans remains the same, if not worse. Today, AntDude spends over $100 AGAIN on some of the worst games you can find on the Nintendo Switch eShop.

I think the Membrane price was a drastic error in the system, cause I just checked the price to see if it was still $250, and it dropped, from $250... to $2.50 XD

[@B_r_i_a_n_Y]

I personally don't think it's an error, but more of a smart way to get people to want to buy it when it's on sale.

Out of morbid curiosity, I checked the 3DS eShop recently in late October. Nintendo itself doesn’t seem to have even touched the 3DS eShop and its UI since they stopped making games for it, yet shovelware is apparently still being pumped out for the 3DS on an almost hourly basis in the “New Games” section. I’d love to see AntDude somehow find a way to spend $100+ on the 3DS eShop in 2022.

[@GoldenPickaxe]

i had no idea the 3ds was still getting releases makes me wonder if i could get a version of unity that still has 3ds export and make a game before the service dies you know, just to say i made a nintendo game

I can explain the Brutus thing. For a few decades, King's Features thought Bluto was an original character made for the Paramount films, and thus thought Paramount owns him. So, they created their own knockoff of Bluto called Brutus. Literally the same character but slightly different. By the 90s it was sorted out to where King's Features found out he debuted in the comics. But yeah, the original Nintendo game was made during this legal detour. So I guess Sabec didn't do basic research.

[@GameAW1]

The Popeye remake led to an amazing Giant Bombcast segment in which a young person expressed their bewilderment at the game while an older person who knows and loves the original discovered live just how bad it is. Remaking a great game like Popeye is understandable. Remaking it as a fully 3D game, though, makes no sense without overhauling the gameplay loop.

[@1080Frostbite]

Okay, so in terms of Popeye lore, the witch is most likely the Sea Hag, who Popeye faces off semi-regularly in the comics. The vulture is most likely supposed to be Benard, the Sea Hag's pet. As for the "Brutus or Bluno" thing, Bluno was the name of a very strong sailor who made a one-off appearance in one story arc. The cartoon needed someone for Popeye to face off against, so they created a similar character that they named Brutus. They are also brothers.

[@creativeusername7951]

Here in the US, the cartoon version was actually named Bluto. I think the name change is pretty much a localization thing.

[@1080Frostbite]

@@creativeusername7951 You are correct, that was a typo on my part.

[@MrToyguy32]

I thought the vulture was a reference to Popeye Meets Sinbad the Sailor.

[@seanmyster6]

The story I've heard about Bluto/Brutus was that there was a dispute over whether it was King Features or Paramount who owned the rights to Bluto, so King Features created Brutus as an expy for Bluto when it seemed like Paramount owned the rights. (it would later turn out that King Features were the true owners of Bluto all along, since he technically originated from the comics)

[@seanmyster6]

@@MrToyguy32 That vulture was gigantic, though, so it's more likely that the vulture in this game is the normal-sized Bernard. Would be awesome to see the giant vulture from Popeye Meets Sinbad the Sailor as a boss fight in a much better Popeye game, though.

7:27 Brutus is one of the few alternate aliases Bluto was referred to as after Paramount's Famous shorts, over the misconception of them being the originator of the character, this holding the copyright to his name. To my recollection, his only other alternate alias was Bruto, but that's about it.

[@jhosk92]

I'm not sure about the vulture, but yes, there is a witch in the Popeye comic strip lore. And Bluto was renamed "Brutus" in the 1960s when Paramount Pictures (who owned the film rights and distributed/produced the theatrical shorts) barred King Features Syndicate from using the name in their animated TV series, believing they had created the character in their shorts. (They hadn't.)

Popeye for the nintendo switch fells more like a bootleg mobile game than an actual license nintendo game

[@NguyenCaoThang1504]

11:30 I like that this game is using the second most sinful word font out there, only losing to Comic Sans

[@virgiebabie6903]

I wanna see one of those independent game devs redo the Popeye idea in a much cleaner way

[@legendofhayden]

I found Deer God enjoyable, but I totally get how it difficult to get into at first. only reason I played it was because it was a Game for Gold on Xbox

I'm gonna have to be the defender of Wrestling Empire here. The game's jank and silly but MDickie games are a special breed of jank and silly in that they're some of the most genuinely entertaining games you can watch and play (if you don't take them seriously of course). Wrestling Empire's career mode goes endlessly, you can make all sorts of friends and enemies, go to different wrestling companies and do a whole lot of customization and have fun that the only other real wrestling game on the switch, WWE 2K18, can't possibly bring. (seriously, WWE 2K18 on the switch was for a good while THE WORST switch game.) Add to that the fact that MDickie is also teasing a major update that adds an open world aspect to the game, and that there was already a major update that added in a company management mode, as well as the fact that the game is also on PC and Mobile - AND is pretty cheap all things considered, it is absolutely one of the few games from this video that is worth checking out.

The thing at 18:59 is a turtle from a Unity Asset Pack that came with a few bipedal animals, one of the others being that owl carries the arrow around. "Elva, the Eco Dragon" could have easily been some Unity game that someone slapped together for a quick buck.

Wii: Good Shovelware, 5% anime, 40% overpriced, 55% Wiiware Switch :Bad Shovelware, 40% anime, 60% overpriced

[@sackfu7952]

Oh my god, i can't believe that Popeye game isn't a bootleg, i cannot, nay, REFUSE to believe this is officially licensed.

[@bigcheese6417]

It's these videos that I hope shows Nintendo that the quality control needs be a focus on the next console's eShop... And ADD MUSIC WHY IS THERE NO MUSIC PLEASE NINTENDO

[@quartzossie]

Cow Catcher looks like a joke video game my friends and I would create for a school project.

[@just-mees]

I do remember reading a popeye comic in one of these giant bundles, and there *was* a witch in that. It was a pretty fun comic too.

[@DE-GEN-ART]

You helped me avoid some buyers remorse from that calculator app.

[@jumbawumba1692]

Nice

[@012345678920855]

@antdude the witch is the seahag, in later cartoons she was an antagonist who wanted to marry Popeye and rule the seven seas. As for the Bluto/Brutus debacle another animation studio took over and thought Parmount owned the rights to Bluto’s name but they didn’t and when they found out they still kept him as Brutus

[@lakenzie4924]

That bit about a game using X as a pause button is funny to me (and me alone) because it's somehow not alone in that regard. Of all games, DELTARUNE does that exact same thing. I don't think the start button even does anything.

[@ZenoDLC]

Certain games on DS does so too, and if it's just placement, there are numerous Playstation titles that uses the top face button to open pause menu too

[@alwaysasn]

I'm sure someone has posted this already. But Popeye is now in the public domain. Some charachters, though, were created more recently in history. But Popeye as a character is public. So my guess is Bluto is probably not public domain yet.

[@Lar_me]

Whose idea was it to give Elva gigantic mammal ears? It looks more like a weird spiky goat than a dragon.

[@uiinpui]

You know I needed this sequel

[@classiccustoms2010]

Cow Catchers looks absolutely insane, in all the best possible ways.

[@Gez125]

Hey Ant, i enjoy your work. Keep it up and Happy holidays

[@NPOCrushader]

Almost offended that you put Wrestling Empires on here. Honestly an amazing game. Made by 1 person, new modes and moves added frequently. And makes for some really funny moments!

[@Dreadjaws]

Cow Catcher looks to be one of those "purposely bad" games, like Goat Simulator or Surgeon Simulator. Perhaps if they had named it "Cow Catcher Simulator" the joke would have been more obvious. Then again, it gets pretty obvious the moment you take a look at the gameplay. A wingsuit? To catch cows? That's the sort of thing only satire comes up with. Not gonna lie, I added it to the wishlist the moment I saw this video and as soon as I add some funds to my account I'm buying it.

[@Michael-Gaming-6009]

The Baby Poop thing from the last time you did this is back with a sequel!
