Want to Grow Really Long Fingernails in a Game? Nah, Me Neither.

……..

I….

What….

Seriously, what the hell are they thinking? It’s almost too easy for people to make fun of the Wii these days when you’re getting games like this coming out for it.

Firstly, the game seems to be nothing more than a bunch of mini-games loosely based on world records (because shearing a sheep seems excellent fun…), but that’s the main aspect of any Wii or DS shovelware these days.

Secondly, they get the woman with the world’s longest fingernails to appear in the trailer promoting it. If that sight isn’t terrifying enough to put you off then you’ll be horrified to know that the game also includes a mini-game where you have to grow the world’s longest fingernails. I hope that kid got paid a lot to be in a trailer with the contender for world’s scariest woman.

Don’t get me wrong here, there are some excellent Wii and DS games out there, but the market is flooded with games like Guinness World Records: The Videogame and it kind of puts me off ever taking the Wii seriously over something that I’d just get out at a party.

I don’t even know if this game is coming to Europe but it’s supposed to be coming out within the next month. Don’t buy it, I beg of you!

    […] like to say that this is a completely original idea for the Wii, but after telling you about extremely long nails in Guinness World Records: The Video Game (which, strangely enough, I now own) it’s not […]
