Most HORRIBlE Fake Laughs EVER.

 

[ChaoticKraus]

I am now deeply amused while simultaneously being slightly uncomfortable.

I feel extremely sorry for those actors. You can hear by their luaghs that they're in pain.

Ubisoft Unveils a Sexy Wii Minigame Compilation for Adults

​

Is the phrase "sexy Wii minigame compilation" making your brain hurt? Just wait until you've seen the trailer.

As a games writer, every so often you come across something that simply defies description - for any number of reasons. It just makes your jaw hang open while the text box on the screen remains blank as words fail you.

This is one of those times.

The trailer you see here is for Ubisoft's We Dare, an adult-oriented minigame compilation for both the Wii and the PlayStation Move (though judging from the game's name it seems likely that it started life as a Wii title). To put it simply, it looks like Ubisoft is trying to make the point that minigames don't have to just be for kids anymore.

I'm going to reiterate: This is not a hoax, and you can stop checking your calendar wondering if April Fools' is a day early. According to the UK rating site PEGI, this is a real thing [http://www.pegi.info/en/index/global_id/505/?searchString=we+dare].

You may feel second-hand embarrassment at this trailer - that this is a real product that people worked on, and that this is a real commercial that some marketing team came up with. This is also what Ubisoft thinks most male gamers look like, apparently. Also note the homoeroticism - both ways! - thrown in at one of the bonus scenes at the end.

At least they're using a Wii condom.

Mr. Croshaw, front and centre please. I think this very much deserves a good going over.

OT: Jesus Christ on a jet propelled pogo stick, what the hell was going through Nintendo's head.

I showed this 'game' to my wife and she just killed herself laughing and told me emphatically "NO!" (not that I even considered it).

I see this one getting a very limited release and very low sales although I have to give Ubi some credit for trying something new as opposed to the typical sequels drivel we generally get these days.

 

[Little Duck]

And thus motion games do what they were always meant to do.

I'm not sure if I'm angry or if I want to buy this.

Mr. Croshaw, front and centre please. I think this very much deserves a good going over.

Yes. YES. YES!!

Please say he'll do this. I'm sensing a new best episode ever.

My lord the prudishness is strong in this thread. All those poor innocent souls shocked by a bit of sexual innuendo...

Apart from the 12+ rating and the forced acting in the commercial, I can't see anything to be offended by. How is this more offensive than a game of Partnerlink or other "erotic games" that are sold all over Europe? I'm sure some people will buy this and get it out for a bit of "daring" fun once the alcohol kicks in.

Seriously people, accept that gaming isn't just for the hardcore gamers anymore and move on. The Wii has long become a piece of entertainment electronics in the living room.

I agree with you, except that I was disturbed by the acting and the laugh track that was obviously added in. If I get the Move (probably) and see this in the game bargain bin (doubtful since they disabled the youtube of it in the US), I might pick it up just to have a good laugh with a significant other.

Why... *cry*

 

[roguetrooper96]

Even stranger than the trailer is the rating: 12+ for "Mild Sexual References".
WHAT THE FUCK.

Your avatar looks just like my face while I was watching that um... monstrosity? Just wondering here but does anyone actually know a word that can describe how abysmal that trailer was?

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Well I am now officially horrified.

Spoiler: And then this happened

My thoughts exactly.

 

[The Hungry Samurai]

What's with all the prudish responses here? Is it really much worse than anything found in the back of your malls Spencers? Yes it's horrible but not all film, painting, and music was intended to be art, I don't think all of the gaming world needs to be either.. This isn't trying to be taken seriously so why should we judge it as if it was.

I don't see why we have to live in fear of everything we do because of a sensationalist media "might" get the wrong idea, when it's going to find something to whine about no matter what the industry comes up with. Just laugh it off and have fun already.

 

[Clockwork Scarecrow.]

I'd love to see Jedward try and market that!

Good call man!!

It's only a matter of time until the WiiXXX comes out now...

Edit: After watching the video I see one of two things.
An unusually censored porno foreplay scene.
and
A great way to completely ruin friendships.

 

[Oscar Jones]

And Japan is considered strange...

This is just cringeworthy.

Well said.

 

[Risingblade]

It's blocked in my country...seriously Ubisoft you're stopping me from watching a commercial for you product? really?

They just blocked it this morning.

You might want to view it through a proxy site

 

[dex-dex]

my god this is hilarious!

 

[Marik Bentusi]

Eh, it's like a cheap softcore movie. There are dozens of those out there. But it suddenly is a big surprise when it's about a game! Well, I guess it didn't exactly fit the Wii image, but then again this is only the natural expansion of the "party"-target group.

I wish I could have seen the dude that actually proposed this idea. And his face when he got the approval.
