Gameplay

edit

In the game, Rena is a cat who is the mascot of a blog named "Nekopunch" and the CEO of a fictional company named Cat Queen, Inc. It is the player's objective to appease Rena in order to be accepted as her employee.[1]

Sukeban Shachou Rena's gameplay involves several minigames where the player takes control of a cat or in other minigames, humans. Minigame examples include playing the piano, dodging pouncing cats, taking money from a cat while it is not looking, and dancing to appease Rena, using the Wii Remote. Some of the minigames also make use of the Nunchuk.

Reception

edit

The game was a commercial and critical failure. While there are claims of the game only selling 100 copies in the first week, these claims have no proof behind them and is a hoax that was spread by numerous publications.[2][3] Famitsu awarded the game a score of 22 out of 40 (5/6/6/5).[4] Critics praised the humor of the story, but criticized the lack of content and the quality of the minigames.
