Another minigame on display was also very simple. There's a crudely drawn old woman and a crudely drawn young man standing in an open field on either side of a stump. The young man has an axe poised over his head, and the woman is apparently in charge of placing logs upright on the stump for the boy to chop. All you need to do is press the button just as she puts down a log to neatly cut it in half and create some nice firewood. The trick to this game is that sometimes the old woman puts an object on the stump that's not a log. Like, say, a rabbit. Or a small dog. Or a dolphin. Hitting the chop button under these circumstances leads to a predictable sectioning of the unfortunate creature, a lot of fountaining blood, and an ended game. You'll want to pile up as much cruelty-free kindling as possible. Did we mention that the crude-looking characters are dressed kind of like Mario and Luigi? Yeah, pretty crazy.

Interesting, I don't like the looks on the faces of the guys with the axes though.

Nintendo sues, game developer goes bankrupt, other developers follow suit, the PSP becomes a treasure to find, Sony can't cover the losses and Samsung overtakes it in every other market...

Oh nothing, just daydreamin'.

Hmm, on closer expection:

It says "Ma" on the Mario-ish figure's hat and "Ki" on the Luigi-ish figure's hat.

I wouldn't condone such a trashy looking game.

Sort of. I took it for 3 years in high school. Forgot most of it. I can basically just read it now without understanding it. Know enough to navigate game sites, and what better reason to know it than that.

I'm sure you can all rest easy now.

I can rest easy. I just thought it was morbid and weird (not to mention a cheap and misleading tactic for increasing sales). If you read the article though, you can see they're ripping off an old NES baseball game.

I'll rest easy knowing Nintendo's a trend setter anyways.

Nintendo is my hero. Let's all find something they can sue next. I heard somebody's making a 2D version of Ocarina of Time.
