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.

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.
Sadness-wii.com still hasn't been updated.
DOES NOT EXIST!
Me thinks the Nibris probably hasn't been able to land a publisher to continue funding the project, so development is stalled.
I needs me some one-eyed, lamprey-mouthed survival horror goodness.
The question, however, remains as to WHY they would spend all this time fooling the world?
Even the Phantom eventually turned into something.
We'll hold you to your word, jim.

Get the camera and the lube Jim.....
Look it up... Jon Voight's there and everything.
