    Internet memes have been a waste of time, ruining our lives. But this is one of, if not, the first game starring internet memes on a Nintendo console, even if the visuals and sounds are obnoxious to look at and listen to. This game features extensive use of Internet memes; for example, the player character is a stick figure with a Trollface for a head, and the levels are made up of "Lenny faces". It feels more like a mobile game that somebody greenlit for a console release. The controls are slippery, because the screen scrolls too fast and you fall at a slow speed. Because of this, you will often get pushed offscreen by walls. The graphics are godawful, consisting of random images slapped over a poor green screen. There are also many outdated and stale memes, despite the fact that this was made in 2014. The gameplay is boring and repetitive in that is only fun for a few minutes. No objectives, goal, or anything. You just run endlessly and score points until you die. The sound effects and background voices, as said before, are obnoxious. Most of them are so loud that this would make you want to mute the game over time. And it NEVER SHUTS UP. On the Steam Greenlight of the game, it says "The 5th Best Selling Digital Game on the eShop", which is extremely obnoxious and false to say since it wasn't well received by most people, and it is definitely false reception-wise as the game has very low ratings on critic sites. The Steam release of the game has been planned with the Greenlight system, but due to the latter being discontinued in 2017, the game never was released on the platform. The game was pulled from the Wii U eShop not too long after release because Ninja Pig Studios used the Trollface for their game as its main character, which they were unauthorized to use. Ramirez (the creator and copyright holder of Trollface) claimed he had sent a DMCA notice to Nintendo to take down Meme Run. Just do yourself a favor and skip this! Why? Because it sucks BIG TIME!
