From APB Reloaded to Life of Black Tiger and beyond, we’ve covered some real stinkers on Digital Foundry – hell, the Ghost of Phoenix Past even left us a hot, steaming gift of twelve horribly bad Phoenix games a few years back. I knew bad games – or so I thought. You see, while the unearthing of ET cartridges buried deep in a landfill in 2014 may have made headlines at the time, it turns out that the Nintendo eShop is becoming the landfill of the digital age. Every week, the shop is flooded with a selection of low-budget rubbish that would make Steam blush. However, I was not prepared for the journey I would soon take with The Last Hope: Dead Zone Survival and other ‘games’ produced by the junk factory known as West Connection Limited.
If you’re looking for a suitable alternative to licking the toilet bowl, West Connection Limited has you covered. They’re bringing a veritable buffet of unfinished, barely functional smoking hot garbage to the table that makes LJN look like Nintendo. In building its catalogue of fetid bile, West Connection has mastered the art of the SEO game through a collection of vaguely assembled words designed explicitly to fool customers into wasting their money and time. Like Call of Duty or Battlefield? Try World War: Battle Heroes Field Armies Call of Prison Duty Simulator – or maybe Counter Bottle Shooter: Pro Aim Master Target Bottle Shoot 3D Game Strike Pistol.
These guys understand how to maximise results within the eShop’s horrific search system, but it’s The Last Hope: Dead Zone Survival that really put West Connection on the map for many of us when its “key art” went viral on social media, essentially featuring Ellie from The Last of Us with the serial number filed off. The tactic worked and the digital detritus spread like wildfire across the internet.
