People, strap yourselves in and prepare for a rollercoaster of breaking news insanity. Sadness, a game that is about as real as talking puffins and imps with fairydust up their arseholes, has NOT been announced for release on the Nintendo Wii. What a shock, eh? We were all so certain that this pure fantasy was actually going to appear, but apparently Nintendo hasn't even sanctioned it:

At this time, Sadness has not been announced for release on the Wii console. Since this title would most likely come from one of our third-party licensees, I’d suggest contacting them for more information. 

In all seriousness, this is pretty damning evidence that developer Nibris has actually developed bugger-all and the recent tease of a Sadness-based holiday card floating about is just that -- a tease and nothing more. From the sound of the statement it made, Nintendo hasn't even heard of Sadness. We'll see Duke Nukem Forever before Sadness even gives us a gameplay video. At least we know what the bloody hell Duke Nukem is about.

If Sadness is ever released for the Wii, I will record myself masturbating to pictures of Hulk Hogan and put the video online for everybody to see. That's a personal guarantee, one more trustworthy than Nibris could ever make.

I thought you already posted that video.

This is what pisses me off about Nibris.

All this bad news and they don't even find the time to release a public statement.

All of the promises that the developer has made in 2007 have been broken. Nibris just needs to do something once in for all to prove whether or not the game exists.

Does anyone still take this game seriously? Nibris has been releasing concept art for this game for over a year and a half now, they have to have something. I doubt even the people making know what the hell it will be. You can only post some black and white photos for so long until people start losing faith, and Nibris missed the boat by a year.

I called these guys out a few months ago, and no one contact us to clear things up. Pfffft.

God I've never seen a game that doesn't exist get so much publicity for not existing.

If Sadness isn't an official Wii developer and the game has not been officially announced yet, then how in the hell did Nibris manage to get its Sadness live action concept trailer into Nintendo's 2006 trailer ?

Sadness-wii.com still hasn't been updated.

dtomek

Never heard of it, and what is a wii?

SniperFodder

Nibris removed both of the videos on the website...further proof Sadness doesn't exist.

DOES NOT EXIST!

I actually was more interested in the River Raid remake that also appears to be vaporware.

Me thinks the Nibris probably hasn't been able to land a publisher to continue funding the project, so development is stalled.

Aw man. No Licho for the Wii.



I needs me some one-eyed, lamprey-mouthed survival horror goodness.

AKK

This is surely one of the most elaborate hoaxes I've ever seen.

The question, however, remains as to WHY they would spend all this time fooling the world?

Even the Phantom eventually turned into something.

Oh my god. My stomach hurts from the laughter.

GuitarAtomik

I hat to say I told you so, but I told you so. I found it weird how people kept referring to this game as one they've been excited for when they've never even seen any screenshots...or even a gameplay description.

Get the camera and the lube Jim.....

ScottyG

I don't know what's more disturbing Jim. The fact that you would post a video of you masturbating to the Hulkster, or the fact that you are able to masturbate to him at all. :S

Bob Muir

Shame, I really liked the...um...live-action teaser?

Rockvillian

What Necros said. I don't understand why anyone cares about this.

Kyousuke Nanbu

Sadness look pretty interesting and original, of course it wasn't ever gonna come out, the Wii needs that shelf space for more minigame collections or titles based of their core franchises.
