Insane cat game becomes worst selling Wii title ever photo

Sukeban Shachou Rena Wii has broken a sales record, but not in any way that should be celebrated. The weird minigame compilation launched this recently in Japan and has swiftly claimed the title of worst selling Wii game in history. It sold one hundred copies.

The game is all about cats running companies, or something to that inane effect. It's the kind of typical Japanese strangeness that you'd expect to do well in Japan, but apparently not even our friends in the East could stomach this one. It now has a permanent residence at Hotel Bargain Bin, and there it shall stay until the end of time.

Yeah ... something tells me this won't be seeing a Western release anytime soon. Hit the jump for a thoroughly mental video.

This is going to be the biggest cult hit. Gotta import me a copy before it gets big.

I think this article is wrong. I didn't sell ONLY 100 copies, but it sold all BUT 100 copies. There's no way any human being couldn't eat this up.

I'm honestly a little disappointed. There are a lot of other terrible Wii game's that deserve to be worst selling Wii game ever more than this, at the very least it has an original concept, more than you can say for a lot of the shovelware that ends up on the Wii.

The 100 people who bought this...why?

This is probably the best PR the game could get. I expect sales to nearly DOUBLE in the coming months.

Isn't this getting a sequel or something?

If it is, can we see a console sequel to Okami? It sold well over half a million copies.

So much for that big effort to get it localized... Or maybe they will be forced to just to get rid of the extra discs! YAY! MEOW!

This is a fantastic game making a daring political statement on the subject of human animal relationships and i wholly support this message of love.

You know... I'm hoping this a ploy to make people go "Oh! Look at this crazy game! How is it possible that it's selling this badly?! I'm buying a copy now! Make it two!"

Most of the people here would have bought this game in a heartbeat, so I just refuse to believe only 100 people would buy this game!

But people love it on Twitter! That damn CEO cat have a twitter page.
Where did it goes round? Maybe they don't use enough real life cats to promote the game.

There should be cats instead of human at the sale counter of the game.

Might be worth buying for video game collectors 20 years from now and make a few bucks. Then again, I don't think anybody would want to collect Wii games.

I don't understand how Japanese people don't like this hilarious and awesome looking game but they like all sorts of the other crap that gets pushed out there. I would probably pay $20 for this.

I guess we all have our limits as to what is and isn't marketable. I want this for the concept, but chances are it's just a bad game with a cat pasted onto it.

not worthy of its fate. Those are the best cat graphics I've ever seen. Does it use the WiiFit Board?

Self-hurling cats! What's not to love?

I'm just waiting for the inevitable sequel with gerbils and a man that suspiciously looks like Richard Gere.

There will be legendary stories of this game in twenty years. There will be excited whispers on the internet when a copy turns up on eBay. This, ladies and gentlemen, is our Nintendo World Championship.

Holy shit dude. If they just stop pumping the disc out right now in like a week this thing would be going for hundreds I tell you. HUNDREDS!!!

And I'd probably be right there, regretably bidding.
