Title: Lazy Town: Can the Wii hook this Killer App?
Post by: Kairon on April 20, 2007, 07:00:20 AM
I read a post touching on this at NeoGAF, and I wanted to share it all with you guys! Evidently... LazyTown is in "talks" for a Wii game!
Quote Toys, costumes and books already bear the LazyTown name in many countries. Live tours have been franchised in Britain and Latin America. Talks are under way with Nintendo to create a video game for its Wii console, which features a motion-sensitive controller. Internet projects are also being mulled.
Not only would this totally pwn Europe, not only would it pwn the young child demographic and use it as a trojan horse to get parents and other non-gamers into the Wii, not only would it completely pwn pedobears the world over...
BUT IT WOULD PWN CRAZY INTERNET OBSESSED HYPER COLLEGE STUDENTS!
Serious, I know a guy who's all like:
"Yar har diddly dee! If you like to sail the seas YOU.ARE.A.PIRATE!"
And then I'm all like:
"You gotta do the cooking by the BOOK! You know you can't be LAAAaaaAAAZY!!!"
Bing bang DIGGA.RIGGA.DONG.
... ohhh yeah.
So... uh... that's all. This would be a neat game to see come out, and though I don't watch the show, I am VERY tempted to buy the soundtrack.

Oh yeah, this is DEFINITELY one major guilty pleasure for many 20 somethings.
Its hard to deny the show does have a weird charm and appeal to it. Its like you want to look away but can't.

Why I think that could be fun it makes no real sense. From the Wiki I thought that Lazy Town was all about getting the kids away from Video Games and TV, and having them go out and play.

Unless the game is going to be about moving all around. Kinda like Wii Sports for toddlers and pre-schoolers.

The Wii is the only console this makes sense for because it could be used to actually get kids to move around a bit.
When it came to a LT game, the Wii is the ONLY choice.

I don't see how a video game that tells you to turn off the TV and go outside is so much weirder than a TV show that tells you to turn off the TV and go outside.

The game takes longer.
In the Wii case you can't even take IT outside and play it their because the Sun would mess with the Wiimote.

Cool a game based off a show for toddlers and NeoGAF pedophiles that'll probably be PAL exclusive with crap distribution! Killer APP!

Good idea.
All that damn yellow glowing ball does is make it harder to drive. Why didn't we get rid of it years ago?

Maybe it's because I'm away at college and haven't been around the little ones in my family for a while, or maybe it's because I'm not as well-versed on what's 4Chan popular on the intarwebs these days, but I had no idea that Lazy Town was becoming some sort of craze. I saw the commercials, thought it was the most ridiculous thing I had ever seen, and forgot about it. Oh well...
In any case, if this show really is that popular it would be a good game to have anyway, even if it turned out to be cash-grab license crap (which is usually the case with these things). I'll most likely avoid it, but knowing how these things go my mother will probably buy it for my younger family members...only she won't buy them their own Wii and will be content to just let a house full of brats monopolize mine...

To speak seriously about Lazytown, Robbie Rotten is a hilarious villain. I mean LOL-moments ahoy type stuff. He just moves around so oddly and speaks with a lot of strange enunciation, focusing on different words in an overly-serious kind of way.
Yes, I have watched it a few times. Shut up.

My little brother watched Teletubbies in Middle School, my Older Sister watched Sesame Street in High School, and I watch Saturday morning cartoons. So I can't really judge their Strell.

Youtube has failed me. I can't find a video of the english Lazy Town opening sequence for that song. You're hearing the full song as a "single" version, and with specifically editted clips instead of hearing and seeing the piece as milllions of childrens and pedobears do everyday.

I can understand watching this for nostalgia if you grew up with it. Since it's a new show, there is something very, very wrong with 20-somethings that watch it voluntarily.

once in the morning(between 9am and 3pm) i was flippin through channels, and the pirate one was on. my thoughts were 'this is the greatest new childrens show ever with their advocation of piracy' till i learned that it was only that episode, and it is scandinavian, then i was dissapointed it wasn't a viking episode...
also icelandic people scare me(look like elves )

Oh no... I think I just sealed my fate. My niece loves Lazy Town and I just introduced her to the Wii and well...this won't turn out well.
