Crave: "Nothing like being a bit behind the curve"

Gosh! Napoleon Dynamite Explodes onto PSP® System and Nintendo DS(tm)

Crave Entertainment to Release Sweet Videogames Based on Cult-Classic Comedy

Newport Beach, Calif.- May 09, 2007 Crave Entertainment, a leading publisher of console videogames, announced today that it will publish the first videogame based on the wildly popular Fox Searchlight motion picture Napoleon Dynamite.

Napoleon Dynamite quickly gained cult-classic status with its quirky look at life in rural Idaho. Teens and adults alike love the movie's colorful characters and offbeat take on teenage awkwardness. Napoleon Dynamite catchphrases (Vote for Pedro!) have become pop-culture fixtures, with references to the movie popping up everywhere from T-shirts to ice- cream flavors.

Crave's upcoming release will feature favorite Napoleon Dynamite characters including Kip, Uncle Rico, Pedro, Tina the llama, and of course, Napoleon himself.
"Napoleon Dynamite is one of the great cult classics of the past decade," said Mark Burke, senior vice president of product planning and business development at Crave Entertainment. "It's one of those films that has great memorable lines and characters, and we expect that fans of the movie will really like the game."

Damnit. The universe is really making it hard for me to continue liking this movie.

Wario64 · May 9, 2007

What the fux. Why?!

PepsimanVsJoe · May 9, 2007

Wow it's like they missed the boat, waited for it to come back, and then missed it again.

Kevtones · May 9, 2007

I watched the film for the first time in a couple years last week, it holds up well. I look forward to some hilarious NPC interactions (hopefully) and maybe a structure similar to Bully.

Oldschoolgamer · May 9, 2007

How long ago did the shite movie come out? o.0 Its been like 2-3 years?

CoolTrick · May 9, 2007

One of the worst hit movies of the past few years.

bud · May 9, 2007

this will end up being way better than hotel dusk

davepoobond · May 9, 2007

side scroller?

intheinbetween · May 9, 2007

oO? this can't be serious. i don't really get the point of releasing a videogame for this movie, i liked it but i never thought about a game based on it. so annoying..

I AM JOHN! · May 9, 2007

What the hell?

sprocket · May 9, 2007

Its sad that it was the movie to push heder to the spotlight . He is actually a really talented guy.

Casual Gamera · May 9, 2007

Talon dodgin, Tupperware selling, Pigskin throwin FUN!

"Turn it off! It's a piece of crap and it doesn't work!" etc etc

Jim · May 9, 2007

I'm sure whoever got stuck developing it must be loving life right now.

What the heck? The movie was flippin awesome, GOSH

Xenon · May 9, 2007

At least they will be able to hide PSP load times in the awkward moments where nothing is going on.

rubso · May 9, 2007

You can't level up in this game

Napoleon is a retard

I'd assume so, since heroin money is probably the only reason they're developing it.

bud · May 9, 2007

maybe it comes with a free bucket of semen which would make this a killer-app

Forceatowulf · May 9, 2007

I cannot believe this movie is/was as popular as it is. It's one of those rare moments in life when I just don't get it...

Olivier · May 9, 2007

Crave is still in business? Wow.

NMC2006 · May 9, 2007

I can't wait to play Steak Football and Orange The Van.

So this is what they put the guys just out of college on.

White Man · May 9, 2007

Sadly, looking at the list of Crave's released games, this is probably one of the better sounding ones in recent memory.

Not much longer now.

Taker666 · May 9, 2007

Surely this should be a Wii dancing game.

Tobor · May 9, 2007

I hope these are as good as the Austin Powers Game Boy games.

FortNinety · May 9, 2007

Tips & Tricks once printed a fake box art for the game. Though it was for the GBA and by EA. But still...

RyuHayate · May 9, 2007

OMG, why?!

OtwoloBotawa · May 9, 2007

I thought he was already working for Blizzard and Bethesda as a freelance character designer.

Gosh, I hated this movie.

It could be an Ouendan/EBA Clone on the DS.

Are you kidding? Expect this game to be up to the quality of this...

Mr. Pointy · May 10, 2007

I imagine this will be a really shit mini-game collection with a shit-ton of repeated one liners.

Bet it won't be as bad as the movie.

Well...maybe.

But you wish I was still around so you could send that crap to me!

ghst · May 10, 2007

Que one 15 years out of date generic sidescroller with no correllation to the nature of the film whatsoever.

Or

Sub par scattershot point-and-click that violently misses the humor of the movie, with the three semi amusing lines getting pretty tired after the 19th time you've heard them.

Y2Kev · May 10, 2007

STRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS HOT
