9-Volt must be my video game counterpart.
Okay, this thread sounds weird because it is. I am a person who likes shovelware so don't be suprised if a game on this list is a very terrible game. Please note that im saying that the games themselves are good but that I personally like them.
Here is a list of shovelware I own and like
Furu Furu Park(Wii)
This is a minigame collection by taito. Some of the minigames are based on their franchises, some are just traditional games you might see in a japanese arcade or something and some are original games. This game is not really a bad because of its minigames, controls or anything. It's basically because of it's linear gameplay. The minigames only go on for about a minute or two. I personally like it because of it's quirkiness and charm. I also like it because I like japanese games like this.
Family Party 90 Great Games Party Pack (Wii)
This is basically a compilation of three minigame compilations in the family party series. I'll go over each game for everyone's convenience. If you don't know what the family party series is, it's a series of games consisting of 4-player minigames. Each family party falls into a certain theme. The minigames in each game are split into areas. I basically like this series because it's humorous.
Family Party 30 Great Games
This is the first one in the series. It falls into no type of theme. Most of the minigames have something to do with acrobatics and puzzle solving. I basically liked this one because it's more balanced.
Family Party 30 Great Games Outdoor Fun
This family party takes place outdoors most of the time. Most of the minigames are sports. I liked this one because I never got the chance to any of things in this game.
Family Party 30 Great Games Winter Fun
This family party has a winter them to it.
Almost all of the minigames are based on winter sports. I liked this one because again I never got the chance to any of the stuff in real life.
101 in 1 Party Megamix(Wii)
This game is basically self explanatory, I did enjoy playing it but I can agree that it is kind of mediocre.
Myth Makers Orbs of Doom(Wii)
This is basically a rip off of super monkey ball. Since banana blitz rubbed me the wrong way, I picked up this game. It's not better than banana blitz but it is ok.
Okay, here are some shovelware games I plan on getting.
Ninja Bread Man, Anubis II, Myth Makers Trixie in Toyland and Rock & Roll Adventures(Wii)
Now I don't see whats so bad about these games plus, they are very cheap at gamestop ($2 actually. LOL!) so there's no reason for me to not buy them. They can't be that bad.
Billy the Wizard: Rocket Broomstick Racing(Wii)
This game is deemed to be super man 64 and mario kart put together. I don't know if this is true or not, so I might as well find out myself. Plus, the game looks fun to me.
Mini Desktop Racing (Wii)
This game seems like a very creative idea so I might as well get it.
Turn it Around (DS)
This is the predecessor to Furu Furu Park. It is the same thing except you have to spin the stylus in circles, hence the name "turn it around". People hate on this game because of it being linear and it feels like you just bought an arcade cabinet of one of those games like " Sonic X Man" instead of a real game.
Family Party Fitness Fun (Wii)
I basically like the family party series and from screenshots and the trailer I watched, it shouldn't disappoint me.
Family Party 30 Great Games Obstacle Arcade (WiiU)
I don't care what the people on miiverse says, IM GETTING THIS GAME!
This is basically another installment in the family party series. Surprisingly, this is first one to be released in Japan but only thanks to the SIMPLE series. It basically has a more amusement park theme to it.
Okay, that's about it. All I can say is if you plan on getting some kind of shovelware, list it.
