I dunno, seems kinda wasteful. Sure the games were shit, but who knows? In a hundred years maybe they'll be collectors items.

His hip-hop career actually had a few good songs, not many, but a few.

Honestly, I'd rather be a part of the "Save Shaq Fu" movement. All this does is make this shitty game even rarer. :(

I have shaq fu for the snes still in box 5 dollars

If this drives prices of the game up I'm going to be super pissed

Shitty game or not, that is just plain unacceptable. I imagine people who bought Panzer Dragoon Saga thought it was a shit game and threw it into the trash. This is that but on a bigger scale.

Yeah... There are bad games. But someone probably enjoys it. Not to mention these games aren't in production anymore, and while they suck, they still belong to one of the finest era's in gaming history.

Preserve the legacy!

Waste.

That's RACEIST!!!
Had to say it...

Wow, I totally forgot about Steel...thanks.
But I'm sure Shaq is proud of it, he has a Supes tatoo after all.

You know, I never played Shaq-Fu (I know, shocking right), but I did enjoy my short few minutes playing that Michael Jordan in the Windy City game, which was actually kinda fun, doing slam dunks n all.

@Everyone complaining: lolwut? Pretty sure this game is not anywhere near the top of the rarity, price or even demand ladder, especially used copies. I think there's a difference between preserving rare gems that had limited production and shovelware sellout garbage. This was a far more entertaining use for them.

Not gonna lie, I loved this game when I was like 9.

I'm not ashamed to admit - I used to play Shaq-Fu heavily.

I mained Sett and Beast. I can't make this up!

"I couldn't think of a better target to shoot at."

How about your stupid ass haircut, bro? I'd put a few bullets through that.

As much as i enjoyed guns and shaq fu destruction i kept wanting to ask the kid what scene band he was in.

wow I didn't knew this game was hated that much. Btw destructoid it would be fun to see you compete against Screwattack tournament thing, no?!

I do not approve destroying a game, no matter how crappy it is. And Im sure there's lot more worst fighting games. Double Dragon V for example.

Unless its a copy of Ethnic Cleansing. Feel free to mutilate that game anyway you wish.

If it was worth anything, it would have been worth something by now.

You don't need to worry about this game getting rare. You can buy it for a quarter.

Y'know, this game was developed by Delphine Software, who made Flashback. Isn't that weird?

People defending Shaq-Fu?

Jesus, people. Faith in humanity dwindling.

@tim333
It's pretty evident, they animation is very flashback-ish.

Nerds shooting guns.

Lovely.

Nothing was better than the episode of Psych where Shawn tried to scare someone about to beat him up by saying that he beat all of the levels in Shaq-Fu.

I wouldn't have spent whatever this dude spent to buy tons of copies of one game I hated so much just to shoot them. Make a throne out of them, sure. But shooting them? Why not just throw your money down a hole?

@Kaoslyon

Hey, there were people defending AMY and Duke Nukem Forever when people called them terrible games (mostly the developers for the former) and those were WAY worse than Shaq-Fu.

Shaq is sitting in a dark room with the light of his monitor on his face watching this video... he will make his return for SHAQFU2!

I really wish that they would put shaq into a new fighting game... lik the new SFxT or SC5. He'd be awesome as fuck, and everyone would be hype for it.

Typical Americans: always thinking the easiest way to correct a mistake is to blow it up or bury it in concrete.

It's not going to be rare or valuable until it is hunted to near extinction. So hold on to your copy and hold out for 15 years or so.

@CountZio

He didn't pay a dime. He says in the first ten seconds that people gave him copies of Shaq Fu at MAGFest.

I'd much rather play Shaq-Fu than watch an emo kid shoot his daddy's guns. Shaq-Fu wasn't too bad back in the day. sure, it wasn't Link to the Past, but it was fun for what it was.

My copy of Shaq Fu is one of my prized video game possessions. What a shame.

The Shaq Fu destruction is one of the best things all year round at screwattack. Thanks for pointing it out!

People are now saying Shaq Fu is good. Amazing.

I can honestly say that shaq fu is not that terrible. is it the best game ever? no. is it even good? not really but do i have fun playing it every so often fuck yeah!

@Johnny Luchador That terrible hair cut always reminds me of someone trying to hide a receding hair line.

So yeah, Shaq Fu isn't good. At all. It's fun, like Child's Play 4 is fun. Fun. Not good. An important difference.

Never played Shaq-Fu, never cared to. This was entertaining even though that kid looks like a total asshat.

this makes me want to get into marksmanship :3

Pssh, we all know that its ALL about Michael Jordan: Chaos in the Windy City and Charles Barkley's Shut up and Jam.

I always laugh at the hate some of the screwattack personalities get. Theyve been one of my favorite sites for years, and one of the few sites that i feel are made up by actual gamers, and not just writers/journalists/tech guys who just happen to write about games, and Chad here gets the worst of it because of his haircut, Despite the fact that he's like the nicest person ever. I met him about 3 years ago at a Chicago Con and he was nothing but incredibly friendly, and the only one of the group that attended that I thought to be generally excited to meet with the site's fans. Also, everyone saying Emo kid, he's like 26, Married, and with a kid on the way. Not very emo kid if you ask me.

As for the video itself. I thought it was great. Also for those saying shaqfu destruction, its become a yearly MAGFest Tradition of their to destroy/defile Shaqfu carts, starting when they put one in a urinal about 4 or 5 years ago. Also, there are undoubtably over 100,000 copied of this game. destroying about 50 of them hardly is making a dent in its rarity

What a waste. I got my copy of the game for like a buck.

I got mine signed by Daigo.

The only thing that could make this video better is an R. Lee Ermey cameo.

I'm really shocked at Dtoid's reaction to this. I would have thought there'd be a lot more praise.

And by that, I mean the community's reaction. Tony's was expected.

Wow, this isn't racist at all. White people and their hatred for blacks love of guns.

Man, why blow them up when you can make them GOLDEN?



(This was a prize I made for my own local tourney.)

@CountingConflict I don't think that's a very efficient way to cut hair

@Johnny Luchadore He is in the Backstreet Fighters and has a solo career as Guitar Hiro

What the shit?

You guys didnt like SHAQ-FU? Kaori FTW

In this article, proof that people will respect the dead, no matter HOW shitty the deceased was.

But damn, dem guns.

I never played the game, but I think its a great example of crappy fighting game storys.

Shaq goes asia and fights all kinds of monsters?
How can u hate on stuff like this?

I think people should preserve bad games.

To remind ourselves never to make more games like this again.

The bandwagon of blind hate towards the game is even more sad, I bet the majority of people who talk bad about it haven't even played the game and decided for themselves they didn't like the game. Its just 'cool' to act like you fit the opinions of others who actually have one for a reason. I don't approve of destroying any gaming relic. It's irresponsible

Shaq Fu is more of a running joke on screwattack. You're not supposed to actually take offense by this video lol..
