Olsen Twins sue Acclaim for shoddy Olsen Twins Video Game

And then there's the irreparable damage done to their brand name; according to the suit, Acclaim's mishandling of the videogame line has created "the single dark spot on the otherwise unblemished success story of the Mary-Kate and Ashley brand across myriad media and territories."

Which is, like, so lame.

Ha ha hah...."Unblemeshed success story of the Mary-Kate and Ashley brand" Those lawyers are too much!

Umm... "game forum" maybe?

Or Entertainment?

Well, to be fair, the game prolly does suck.

slaus · 04-25-2004, 07:47 PM

What would be the point of that game?

look_ma · 04-25-2004, 08:36 PM

maybe they should of cleared the games before they got released.

gear02 · 04-25-2004, 08:51 PM

nah...they were busy counting the money...only went it stopped flowing did they start suing.

Um... this certainly isn't the first Olsen twins video game... thus I imagine this can't possibly be the first crappy Olsen twins video game. It's a wonder to me the game publishers never stopped putting out this trash. I can't stand those twins anyway. How many stupid movies do they have to make before America gets sick of them?

Nah dude that's just gross. They're funny-looking, just like they were on Full House.

That actually made me laugh. I wouldnt be surprised if theres a pr0n movie already titled as such.

Not that it's hurt them financially. Thanks to their tremendous marketing empire, Dualstar Entertainment, the twin Trumplettes are worth a reported $150 million--each. By the time they turn 21, it's estimated that they'll be billionaires.

craziness.

Jihforce · 04-26-2004, 02:26 PM

When is the last time Acclaim made a good game? I can't remember...

cheapchinese · 04-26-2004, 03:04 PM

dude.. why are they so rich???
did they make that much money from the show???

cause...i don't really see a line of merchandise with their name or something....

kei2 · 04-26-2004, 03:08 PM

They've made several movies (including one coming soon I think)... they probably licensed a line of dolls or something... there's the aforementioned string of video games... probably more too. I am surprised that they have $150M each though, that's much higher than I would have thought.

The twins have a huge line of stuff... every thing from video games to clothing, makeup, movies, and an assortment of figures and posters

Bires · 04-26-2004, 04:51 PM

The rich keep gettin richer...
thanks to stupid teenagers with tons of disposable cash-Anyone else seen Josie and the Pussycats?

gear02 · 04-26-2004, 05:06 PM

wait...i just realized something...

I hope they sue the crap out acclaim. They would be doing us gamers a favor. Acclaim is the crap of the game industry. May they die a horrific death.

What's wrong with Josie and the Pussycats? Rachel Leigh Cook and the Enter Sandman reference saved it for me.

Nothing. Great movie. I love how it paints teenagers as sheep. (Good music too)

I think you were kidding but they launched a line of close through wal-mart. Think they got a co0l 500 million for the deal. They had fool house, Then like 10 strait to video movies, plus some TV movies. If you think about it, they have been working for 17 years solid in the entertainment business.

Whoops I was wrong did a google search:

First introduced to the public on the enormously successful television series "Full House," Mary-Kate and Ashley's career includes two primetime network series, five primetime network telefilms, one primetime and one morning network television special, two direct-to-video movies, one major studio feature film, twenty-five direct-to-video episodes, ninety-three books, six record albums, sixty two national television talk show appearances and tens of thousands of magazine and newspaper feature stories.

You will never guess where I got the info. ACCAILM.COM!!! lol oh the irony.

As you can see they are pretty damn successful, and had an excellent manager that didn’t screw them... screw them over, screw them over, get your mind out of the gutter.
