Look, there he is. That is what you're subjecting gaming to. We can literally hear Gunpei Yoki turning in his grave as his beloved GameBoy gets ready to play host to what can only be one of the most detestable creations ever: the Crazy Frog.
dtp, one of Germany's oldest and wisest publishers was given the rights today, allowing them to publish a range of Crazy Frog themed games on handheld systems, including the GBA.
"The Crazy Frog is one of the most popular licenses of today's entertainment market. It is an exciting project to apply all our developing and publishing experience", says dtp's CEO Thomas Baur.
It will be released during the 'Christmas period' and if it dares to get the Christmas No.1 we will seriously consider our love of gaming. Industry suicide is imminent, the Frog spares.
Oh no....
That'll probably be a best seller aswell. :-/

Sony could pay the development team to put the game on the DS. You use the microphone to make ker-azy noises while DS sales plummet and Sony's hold over the entire games industry skyrockets.
The Mcdonalds game I played on the Mega Drive was quality!

You'll get your head blasted off though.
That mean you can do the smallest amount of actual work - maybe even use the same code from one of a million other themed side-scrollers and change the main 'character' and the enemies a little bit.
But if I got the chance to play a game where you pressed buttons to make frog noises to music, reckon I'd get a small kick out it. :-)

It was only the remotest bit funny when it was a simple joke on a random website, you know...with the F1 car, way before they got some stupid frog and spammed it like hell. In my opinion Crazy Frog is little better than pestilance or famine.
It might be a good game though. Just because the majority of licensed games are rubbish, doesn't mean this one will be...
