Summer Games Fest Reveals New Mario Game That Is Just A Cameraman Holding A Wii Remote And Screaming “Let’s-a Go!”
SEATTLE, WA — In what experts are calling the most brutally honest video game reveal of the decade, the Summer Games Fest livestream crashed for a solid 12 seconds before cutting to a single, grainy, unblinking shot of a man in a green plumber costume who is just standing there, pointlessly waggling a Wii Remote at a cardboard cutout of Princess Peach and aggressively shouting “WOO-HOO!” and “MAMA-MIA!” over and over.
The new title, “Super Mario Forever: But Actually Just The UI Lag From The Wii Menu,” immediately trended on Twitter as users collectively realized this was a perfect metaphor for the entire Summer Games Fest experience: a bloated, 90-minute advertisement where nothing happens, but everyone pretends to be excited while loudly complaining about it later. Nintendo later confirmed the game is a live-service title, meaning the cameraman will continue to shout in 4K resolution every three months until you buy the battle pass.
