9 Prolific Video Game Developers That Released Absolute Trash
8. Nintendo
Allowing Philips the opportunity to bastardize Zelda and Mario with its universally detested CD-i titles certainly ranks high on the list of Nintendo's worst decisions, but as bad as Hotel Mario's dreary door-closing gameplay was, it at least had substance.
Wii Music, on the other hand, does offer interactivity in the form of playing and performing music for ear stimulating entertainment, but the experience is so painfully shallow that no human beyond single-digit age could squeeze more than an hour or two of enjoyment from it.
A bafflingly small sampling of music - most of which was stripped from the public domain - coupled with zero opportunity for competitiveness or progression resulted in Wii Music becoming a financial black hole for Nintendo that provided none of the fun factor that prompted copies of Wii Sports to fly off the shelves in their millions.
It could have been so much more - Nintendo's answer to the rhythm-action genre fronted by Guitar Hero, for instance - but Nintendo wanted to do its own thing, much to Wii Music's detriment.
A+ for imagination; F for execution.
