While cartoon elf boobs are always a good thing, the blonde Mario clone and the ape-like, shoeless, ring-shackled Sonic the fauxhog present fail, of biblical proportions.

Nokia missed the opportunity to turn the original, awful N-Gage gaming devices (modern gaming with portrait-oriented screens? seriously?) into a standard feature of N-Series devices years ago. Too little, too late. Let it die already...

But I guess they have billions to waste on it, and Anssi Vanjoki is not the type of person to admit mistakes.

This is to video games as Meet the Spartans is to movies.

A big "fack you, hahahaha, you actually paid money for this."

Well this game doesn't intend riffing on video game characters, it merely refers to the most known and loved characters. That's what this game is supposed to be, a sortof euphoric view on the past 20 years of games, hence the name Reset Generation, the people who played NES ect. and when things got bad they could simply reset the system. The game will be highly based apon the comunity effort. There will be a Reset arcade where users can submit there own versions of games and characters, also all the sounds voices (full voiced CS's) and characters will be royalty free (i think). So this game looks promising if you ask me.

I don't think people should judge the quality of the game simply cause it mentions N-Gage in it.

Two definitions of "parody" from the American Heritage Dictionary:

1.a. literary or artistic work that imitates the characteristic style of an author or a work for comic effect or ridicule.

2. Something so bad as to be equivalent to intentional mockery; a travesty: The trial was a parody of justice.

Which definition fits here?

@Balmut:
"The Simpsons" game that came out last October was a videogame about riffing on other videogames, too.

They should have licensed Code Monkeys characters cheap and made a game around that, would have been awesome for a low rez screen.

Picture 11 is meant to be a Sonic parody: the colors, rings, and spikes tip one off.

At least the gameplay doesn't seem like a ripoff (as far s I can tell with my incredibly limited sight). Anyone care to enlighten me so that I may properly poo-poo upon this piece of programming (and possibly pursue further progress in alliteration).
