Shaq Fu
Shaq at one point was a cross media convergence king. He rapped in god-awful videos and songs. He had his own shoe line. He did god-awful movies. However, he also had one of the worst videogames in the world: Shaq Fu.
Let’s see what Shaq Fu is about (taken from Answers.com)
In the game's storyline, Shaquille O'Neal wanders into a kung fu dojo while heading to a charity basketball game in Tokyo, Japan and stumbles into another dimension, where he is forced to rescue a young boy named Nezu from the evil mummy Sett-Ra.
What in the heck does this have to do with Shaq knowing kung fu? Did Shaq call Tank and order the Kung Fu program? (Sorry, for the Matrix reference.)
This is a prime example of a poor cross marketing idea gone wild.
In the US, packaged with the Sega Genesis version of this game was the CD single "Shaq Diesel" from O'Neal's album of the same name.
Wow, more Shaq. Now, I can listen to his crappy song and play his crappy game at the same time. Sweet!!!
It is said that when a Shaq Fu cart is placed in a Sega Genesis, the machine explodes in flames.
