Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators behind the iconic South Park series, have revealed that their latest game was inspired by a number of Nintendo related titles. Parker says that EarthBound was a huge inspiration for their upcoming game South Park: The Stick of Truth. He also mentioned that The Legend of Zelda’s main protagonist Link and also the 2D and 3D visuals of the Paper Mario series were also big inspirations for the game.
“We’re big gamers and I think what was inspiring the game was a lot more lofty than what we could pull off,” Parker said. “I was a big fan of it and what I kept thinking in my mind was EarthBound.”
“I haven’t played it [EarthBound] again in forever, but I just remember something being about ‘Oh wow, I’m a little kid in a house and there’s my mom and I go outside my house and am fighting like an ant and a little mouse.’ It started out feeling so real,” Parker added. “I kept having in my head ‘do I really want [South Park: The Stick of Truth] to feel like that you are a little kid and you’re playing this game and bigger shit ends up happening.’ But I really loved that feeling that EarthBound had of I’m a cute little kid in my neighborhood and we’re running around playing a game.'”

So you are trying to act stupid but really you are a troll with a low self esteem so you try to make fun of ours by hiding little messages in your sentence thinking I wouldn’t notice. Please give it over okay, yeah I’m gay but it doesn’t mean I have “Aids” and to be honest love, you need to wise up and learn to live with yourself because deep down you are nothing more than sad, lonely little troll that needs some help.

And yet it isn’t coming to Wii U
Yet another game that without Nintendo wouldn’t exist. Tsk tsk, you would think these “hardcore” gamers would show some respect to their elders.
It is disrespectful when you think about it. I’m sure Sothpark would sell really well on Wiiu IF it was a good game and not some POS.
I wasn’t talking about the people making the game.
oh… Well still , Ubisoft choose to put franchises like Splinter cell and AC on Wiiu but not Southpark is beyond me.
Ubi like just got the game. Before it was with THQ.
true dat , just remembered.
Ubisoft has only had the game for a few months.
Mike your such a busy bee. Where r u on dkcr?
I’m currently at 186%. All I have left to do are the bosses and temples for worlds 4 through 8 and the final level of world 9 in mirror mode.
If that is the case… THEN RELEASE THE GAME ON WII U YOU LAZY BASTARDS. I mean if most of the elements are pretty much inspired by Nintendo games then why not release it on the console that was created by a Company who created those games that inspired this game.
Thank you!(: you said it perfectly!(:
This game was probably in development long before most devs and publishers were given the opportunity to get Wii U dev kits.
Remember, it has been delayed a few times already because of development issues, THQ’s financial problems, and then the transfer to Ubisoft after the sales of THQ’s assets.
Still, it doesn’t take devs long to make a port now a days on Modern Consoles such as the Wii U, PS4 and Xbox One
According to many, Wii U is more difficult for devs to work with than PS4/Xbox One. With that said, would you want a rushed and sloppy port of a game just so it gets released at the same time?
Ubisoft hasn’t had much time with the game. THQ obviously didn’t want it on Wii U before.
Any proof? Because I could have sworn that Frostbyte, they guys who made Trine 2 said it didn’t take them long to port the game over to the Wii U.
It took them exactly 2 days to have the game fully running the rest of the time was used to ad the pad features.
Yep, so really the reason he didn’t respond was because he knew he was wrong.
*according to people who never worked on the console. No developer that has made a wiiu game have never said that.

(That’s cool how Nintendo continues to inspire people to create games ⚡ )
are you having an identity crisis?
No it’s just fun to do
And yet it’s not releasing on any Nintendo platforms
Apparently you because you took the time to find that video :)
YET AND OTHER NEWS IS NOT COMING TO WII U LMAO
For those of us who don’t want to buy another console just to play this game, that’s who cares.
For those of us who would not like to buy another console just to play this game, that’s who cares.
Well you for posting twice under a different profile pic ;)
This game is trashy anyway. Southpark humor sucks
This is my first though after reading the tweet:
“then why the hell didn’t you released the game on Wii U?”
im 99% sure that Kenny is dressed as Zelda…

(So what he is trying to say is that Nintendo inspired him to make this game fir other systems ⚡ )
When ever you here American publisher just don’t even think about them bringing it to the wiiU. Nintendo has destroyed their beloved xbox generation after generation. Now the WiiU is on the rise with real games. Every one rejoice and laugh as EA crumbles. They closed another studio.
EA isnt publishing this game, Ubisoft is
The game is being published by Ubisoft now. It was originally a THQ game.
Lol good old Ubisoft dont you dare put it on the console later then complain about sales fuck it , its too late for me to want it
If Ubisoft decides to put it on the Wii U, thank them; because the game was in development long before Ubisoft purchased the publishing rights from the sales of THQ assets. They had no say on the game until some months ago.
Props to you Gaymer! Pride!
Well then, FUCK YOU for not releasing it on a Nintendo Platform! (Not that I would have bought the game anyway, but we should complain as a matter of principle :p)
Oh, Parker and Stone like Earthbound? That’s pretty damn cool !
Then why is it not on the freaking Wii U?!
It will be on PC anyway so who really cares..
Man, I nearly forgot about this game. Been a long time since I’ve heard anything about it. I Hope it eventually comes to Wii U. Even if it’s much later than other versions.
then release it on wii u
