Put Fish X in tank. Game crashes. How lazy do you have to be when playing a fish tank simulator to not test it with all the fish? And seriously… how hard is it to catch this particular bug?

Put Fish X in tank.
Game crashes.

How lazy do you have to be when playing a fish tank simulator to not test it with all the fish?

Glitches like these shouldn't be allowed to be shipped with the game when the product is already suppose to be finished, and as gamers we really deserve better. If I'm going to be paying $50 and higher for video games, especially for the expensive cost of importing games from Japan, I'd certainly expect a polished title bug free. It seems with this seventh generation of consoles, game developers are getting lazier and lazier by letting bugs like this one in Forever Blue slip through the cracks just to meet the game's deadline. With game patches becoming a industry standard, I can't help but get the feeling more publishers may choose to ship their games in any kind of fashion just to make a quick buck only to end up releasing a game fix when frequent glitches and complaints begin to pop up. Unfortunately for the Wii, there's currently no options for bug fixes meaning developers should be extra careful to make sure glitches don't make it into the final development phases.

When SNK botched their game, they announced a reprint and recall. Nintendo? Nope. (Don't try and put all the blame on Arika for this. Sure, it's their bug, but Nintendo's the one selling you the product.) Thanks for the fantastic solution there, Nintendo.
