Shitpost Games

games that feel made up for shitposting purposes, but sure aren't

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
A Mario and Rabbids crossover sounded so dumb that people thought it was fake when it got leaked. Well, it's real, it's XCOM, and it's good apparently
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE

Enjoy your crossover (it's an idol game)
Shaq-Fu
Shaq-Fu
Trying to avoid using simply bad video games. Sure, Big Rigs is fun to mock, but where's the actual joke?

Now, a Shaquille O'Neal fighting game? That's a shitpost.
Metroid Prime Pinball
Metroid Prime Pinball
The title says it all. Uses the "series + non video game" technique.
Peggle Extreme
Peggle Extreme
Just look at it
Shadow the Hedgehog
Shadow the Hedgehog
Such an iconic mess that I can say "Where's that" and you all know where that is going.
Mega Man Soccer
Mega Man Soccer
I don't really see Mega Man as the spinoff type.
Palworld
Palworld
Pokemon with guns (it will be better than gen 8)
If you didnt laugh at the part where the grass pokemons were building assault rifles in an assembly line are you even human
Klonoa Beach Volleyball
Klonoa Beach Volleyball
If Mega Man was kinda weird for having a sports game, Klonoa must just be allergic to money for making one.

Which I guess isn't entirely false. Until the remake anyways.
The Typing of the Dead
The Typing of the Dead
clears mario teaches typing because it also has zombies.
Sonic and the Black Knight
Sonic and the Black Knight
"Ooh it's good actually I love the part where Sonic tells Merlina where everyone dies some day"

Fair enough I guess but Sonic Wii waggling through Arthurian legend is still funny.
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
Crazy how normalized it is that Mario and Sonic just, go to the Olympics.
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
Car games are funny now that I think about it, especially when they troll Scrimblo fans epic style
Epic Mickey
Epic Mickey
A very epic and edgy Mickey Mouse game for the Nintendo Wii where your choices mattr.
Maybe this shouldn't be here but the title is pretty funny so whatever
Disney Sports Soccer
Disney Sports Soccer
Maybe putting Mickey Mouse in a slightly intense video game is just a recipe for comedy.

There's a whole bunch of these but I don't really care.
Streets of Fury EX
Streets of Fury EX
You can play as the Nostalgia Critic
Link's Crossbow Training
Link's Crossbow Training
I mean, what can I really say about this?
Smarties: Meltdown
Smarties: Meltdown
It's a game about Smarties.

The UK brand, not the US one. Why is this name such a hot commodity in the realm of sweets?
Skatebird
Skatebird
I feel like there's a lot of indie games that are kinda tryhards with their whole "having a goofy concept to market" shtick. Out of them, Skatebird is probably the most shitposty, so I'll keep it here as a rep.

I suppose part of it is that they don't have recognizable names to market with, so if they want to get attention for doing something silly it kinda falls into that camp. Even the bigger names can't really afford the risk that'd go into some stupid shit like Undertale Superstars Tennis (even though it would be the greatest video game ever made).
Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back
Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back
I don't know if you'd call this a shitpost, but Bubsy coming back in a super bland platformer definitely channels the meme energy of a recruiter sending you a Grumpy Cat photo to convince you to die for oil.
Fire Emblem Engage

Toothpaste in real life

Looney Tunes World of Mayhem
Looney Tunes World of Mayhem
A gacha game with Big Chungus

Tax Avoiders

Cool Spot

I would not have known the dot in the 7 Up logo was a mascot without this game. Seems okay too.
Radical Heights
Radical Heights
Okay, this is more to do with the business side of the game, but "company shelves mediocre hero shooter no one plays to rush out shitty battle royale no one plays" feels like a skit. Especially when one of the guys who ran the company left Epic Games, who would go on to make the game this is ripping off.
Urban Yeti!

Your guess is as good as mine. Don't want to just include extremely random and obscure stuff but this definitely feels surreal enough

Elf Bowling 7 1/7: The Last Insult

why are there so many
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

They made a game starring Standing Here I Realize guy

I'd like to posit Urban Yeti for the Game Boy Advance

1 year ago

Suggestions:
Fire Emblem: Engage (people literally thought the leak was a shitpost before it was confirmed)
Looney Tunes: World of Mayhem (a.k.a. the gacha with Big Chungus in it)
The 2009 Bionic Commando reboot (for the iconic "His arm was actually his wife" plot twist)
Socks the Cat Rocks the Hill (game based on a president's cat, of all things)

1 year ago

Oh, and also Tax Avoiders for the Atari 2600
