Meme Run is a horrid looking endless runner that is eying a Wii U eShop release.
"Yesterday, all traces of Meme Run vanished from the eShop and Miiverse. We presumed that it was due to some sort of copyright situation, as most of the game's assets do not belong to the developer. Today, the creator of "troll face" released a statement claiming responsibility for the take down of the endless-runner" -- Nintendo Enthusiast.
Hah!
Knew it had something to do with the rights to use the memes with intents of gaining profit.
* Game is trash.
Stealing other people's ideas...placing them all in one game so you can personally make money off of it ?
Trash Dev.
* Not to mention he STOLE a bunch of annoying crap too.
Troll face and memes are trademarks now??
I always thought it was just something that showed up in a forums post and stuck ever since. Who knew there was an owner...
Hardcore Gamer: Meme Run remains a surreal work in video gaming. An endless runner based around internet memes, the game became notorious as an in-your-face title filled with airhorns, Illuminati imagery, and wumbo combos. But now it’s disappeared from the Wii U eShop.
DAMN I should of picked this up while I could. I had it on my wish list, just because it looked over the top absurd. And kind of funny. O well.
This is a good game to play when u drunk is a stupid game but it got it moments
A software update for Meme Run is now available, adding the infamous Bigley meme from Miiverse as a playable character on a new secret stage.
This shouldn't be approved by Nintendo.
That air horn lol.
isn't the thing that makes these sort games fun, or more accurately addictive, is the fact that the only reason you failed was because you messed up and the only person you could blame is yourself? This game seems to throw that out the window and instead puts a bunch of moving images and loud noises over your character to add a lazy increase in difficulty. That coupled with the fact that the game looks pre-alpha, sorry, this just seems like strait up shovelware capitalizing on Nintendo's incredibly lessened quality control
Many of those memes actually have copyright attached to them so this could quite easily turn into "Infringement: The Game". The Trollface artist in particular is pretty litigious.
