Let's Muscle

Digital distribution is the future of Kusoge; if not the present.

For a while there, it was the minigame collection, which consistently delivered on the promise of giving you a whole bunch of mid to low quality games in a single package, but there was still the whole thing about manufacturing and shipping physical copies.

Now, I'm not an economist, but I saw one on TV, so let's take a moment here to talk shop. Video games cost money to make, physical commodities cost money to produce and distribute, and of course, liquor and prostitutes cost money to procure. Now, the cost of developing a video game depends on the amount of man hours (time X size of staff) spent on it. The bigger a game is, the more time is needed to finish everything; the better a game is, the more time is needed to make sure everything works properly.

Now, this being a kusoge discussion, let's go ahead and throw quality out the window. The game need only not crash or have crippling bugs in it to be considered complete, so the cost of your game scales up entirely based on how big it is, so the further you scale back on this, the cheaper it is to fart your game out onto the world... hence the minigame collection.

The Cat Game

Since I'm not generally on the down low when it comes to things going on the internet or around the world, it's perhaps no surprise that I missed this by a few months. But hey, this absolutely deserved canonization, as soon as possible, so we might all feel the feline love.

The game is called Sukeban Sachou Rena Wii, which, according to the description in some random Wii Now blog post, means President Rena. Rena, apparently, is some sort of mascot for something, and according to the game fiction, president of Cat Queen inc. Hence the game generally being referred to as "the Cat Game," sometimes modified as "that Japanese Cat Game," so as not to get it confused with all those other cat games currently available for the Wii
