Was the GBA the king of shovelware? or was it the PS2?
>>
>>12473853
GBA's shovelware was international, PS2's shovelware was mostly the PAL region.

It's a near statistical impossibility for ps2 to have fewer shitty games than the gba

PS2 Garfield brutally mogs the GBA Garfield, and both are bad games, but the GBA is just shockingly worse, and that goes generally for all the GBA VS PS2 shovelware.
>>
>>12473923
I think GBA got more shovelware because developers viewed it as a weaker system not worth putting a lot of effort into
Both were my primary systems back in the day and I definitely felt like GBA got more stinkers thrown at it
>>
>>12473693
I THINK THIS GAME SUCKS!

*sigh*
I hate that this is true. Same goes for DS shovelware. Yes, there's a Biker Mice from Mars DS game. And a PS2 game and that's right. The PS2 game despite not being good, is far better than the DS game.

Even the shovelware on PlayStation is better. My god.
>>
>>12473932
It is a weaker system, so devs just pumped out so many mediocre platformers based on movies and cartoons.
>>
>>12473878
They are, Retard.

Make a wii thread then.

Uh oh

Is the Scooby Doo title on GBA any good though? I always liked isometric GBA titles.

All it really does is unlock the true ending, which is just the ending of the second film. They wanted to make sure you watched the film as well, as to not spoil it by playing the game.
It's really weird like that.

>>12473693
Holy KINO. DSzoomers will never understand.
>>
>>12473923
The GBA was out for half as long and had lower development costs than the PS2, the PS2 probably had more shovelware overall, but the GBA had a higher percentage of shovelware in its library and got more shovelware per year when it was being supported.
>>
>>12476805
Yeah that's pretty much all it is and it doesn't really follow the film. It's playable, it's not horrible but it's not good either. Literally what you would expect from a budget movie tie-in game.
>>
>>12473853
The PS2 and Wii are the kings of shovelware crap and a good chunk of the PS2's later era shovelware is just repurposed shovelware Wii games ported over to make an extra buck.

The GBA is pretty bad with it's slop too. It was basically a portable SNES in an era where everyone had moved on to 3D so lots of developers would throw low effort 2D crap onto it.
