Sadness is an ironic title for Nibris' vaporware Wii game, because its coverage thus far has been invariably humorous. Despite not having a publisher, Nintendo being unaware of its existence, and only a handful of concept art even suggesting it might exist one day, Nibris is still claiming that this game is getting made at some point, and has even gone so far as to state that the game will be arriving by Autumn 2009.
Our very own Nick Chester challenged Nibris to prove him wrong about Sadness when the company first confessed it was delayed until '09. Nibris never picked up Destructoid's thrown gauntlet, probably because they were too busy making more concept art.
So, let's have a show of hands -- who thinks Sadness will come out at some point, and who thinks that Nibris might as well just open a DeviantArt account and leave gamers alone?

*"soon" being applied in a cosmological sense.
you can't play concept art -_-

Maybe they should just lay low as of now. Releasing concept art after concept art is just pissing off the 30 people who like them out of the 150 people who know them.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for now, but I think Nibris might have bitten off more than they could chew with this game. >.>
Oh, that happened.
Oh, only big developers are allowed to push games back and break promised release schedules, right?
The problem is this game was originally going to be out like last year and yet all we've seen to this day is concept stuff. They don't have a good track record with their DS game either so there's precedent.
I'm all for supporting indie developers but by this point it feels like they're just dicking people around. All it takes is one clear screen shot to prove the game even exists but they seem to refuse to do that either.
I'm sick of hearing about this game and this developer.
Im willing to wait till 2009. Spore will keep me busy, so will Rock Band 2. Hell, the Lights In The Sky Tour DVD/The Slip album will keep my busy.
I just want the game. Im not angry, Nibris, I don't even care that much.
Just...alert me when your done.
Gifting me TF2 would be nice as well.
These ironic titles are destroying themselves.
Deviant Art this crap.
We don't even have gameplay details, and since this IS a Wii game, if we went by the track record of released games thus far, there's a 98% chance it's going to blow.
Honestly, if the "concept" is so good, it'd be picked up by a publisher by now.
Fuck it, I believe nothing until I see a gameplay video.
we might see it one day.
