It's the DS obviously

I would argue the PS2. Mind blowing what kind of stuff got released for it.

It's among them, for me it's the NES, GB, PS1, PS2, GBA, DS and Wii, the unholy 7 deadly sins of shovelware. All of them have a genuinely amazing library though, I guess it just goes to show that being popular and having tons of good titles comes at a cost of shovelware being released for it quite often, you have to really pay attention and filter it out.

>>11801610 (OP)
It’s between the PSX and the Wii, no doubt. NES doesn’t count because that’s just how the industry was at the time.

I'd play Lost World over the average modern game.

>These 9 games totally invalidate the 10 years of releases this system got in multiple regions
>two of which are not PS2 games
To be fair, these were end-of-life releases only sold in supermarkets at budget prices. This publisher released these exact same games on the PS1 when that was end-of-life too.

>>11801617
The very best PAL exclusives, everyone.

>>11801610 (OP)
The Wii was the king of shovelware but if we're talking just retro then probably the PS2.

Phoenix put out nearly a hundred games, they ended up being one of the biggest publishers on PS2 when measured purely by the amount of titles
Their business model also validates PS2 as the shovelware champion.
Midas Interactive was a bargain bin publisher of anything for PC they could get their hands on back in the late 90's. Everything from localized korean DOS titles to one-man projects and the kind of shit you'd find in 5-in-1 value packs.
They were a fairly successful company and as the company grew they expanded to releasing console titles for the then end-of-life PS1 and the brand new PS2. Among their usual shovelware Midas actually managed to find some success publishing decent quality for a change by localizing Japanese titles to the European market such as Xtreme Express and they gained a bit of a reputation.
Inspired by this the people behind Midas founded another company Phoenix Games. Where as Midas would start focusing on japanese localizations from then on, Phoenix would focus on publishing trash.
They figured the PS2 was such a large market that literally anything put on a PS2 disc could make a profit. They were right.
PC games continued under the Midas line as there was no reputation left to ruin among PC gamers, there's quite a few games that got a Midas release on PC or PS1 but a Phoenix release on PS2, alongside some interesting sharing of cover art for entirely different games.

you mean SOULvelware

>>11801610 (OP)
Yes.

>>11801921
In terms of total numbers, PS1 is even worse than Wii.

>>11801610 (OP)
the Wii, but the king of retro shovelware is either the atari 2600 or famicom. C64 might be a contender too

>>11801610 (OP)
PS5 and Switch are neck and neck in shit games.

>>11801610 (OP)
The true kings of Shovelware are mobile devs

>>11801617
Little known fact, Peter Pan is actually called Peter Prick. Then when some years passed he was Peter prick dick on several child's VHS tapes collection. Then Phoenix came along and then he was Peter Prickhole PS2 classic

DOS is the king of shovelware.
40+ different releases, clones, knock-offs, and variants of just about every card and board game you can think of, and a lot of classic arcade games as well. A popular dumping ground for just about any licensed trash you can think of, where even the Disney licensed games were of poor quality. Endless stream of sports games from multiple developers, most of which aren't even worth remembering. Swarms of flight sims that were rapidly made obsolete by the next flight sims to be released. Mounds of turn-based strategy wargames that aren't even remembered by turn-based strategy fans. Also the prime dumping ground for all the crappy FMV-driven 'multimedia' games of the 90's. Over 8,000 games listed on Mobygames(far from complete), and at best 200-300 of them are talked about or remembered.
That's the power of a platform with no barrier to entry. You don't know the meaning of shovelware playing through a console's library. Try playing your way down the A's of every DOS game ever made, and see for yourself how much more shit there is. Even from major developers.

C64 is truly an unheralded juggernaut of shovelware. Look at the shit they’re constantly uncovering on Lemon64 when they drop those 50 game categorizations every month, so much of it is utter irredeemable trash that they’re still dredging up from the 80s and 90s. The Wii was more visible but the c64 just has a monumental amount of trash from a number of titles perspective due to its open nature.

It's Atari 2600

Fuck off computers have better, mature games made by actual hobbyists.
NES and all nintendo sucks forevrr bye

>>11802663
Sure but like any pc, unlike a console, anyone can make shovel ware for it and sell it without a cost of manufacture.

>>11802670
I know the c64 has trash because I play the games retard. Everything for micros, DOS, and retro Nintendo consoles is instantly accessible today thanks to emulation, you are fighting an utterly pointless fight faggot.

>>11802535
I had a DOS Sesame Street game that I could never figure out. Also some game like battle tanks but with gorillas and you would throw banana’s at each other

PS2,DS, Wii are are all kings of Renderware shovelware

Doesn't Paccie not even exist?

>It's the DS obviously

The original 1989 brick GameBoy was the the OG of shovelware. The GBA had a lot of shovel ware too. The DS inherited that legacy.

>>11801610 (OP)
Wii and DS have that title
