The controls work REALLY WELL, and the game, despite being a bit on the unfair side with some nasty platforming bits (fortunately you can quicksave to get through them with minimal effort), is a welcome reminder of how they don't make 'em like they used to. I really have no single explanation for why it did so poorly. It is probably due to many different reasons, related to the choice of platform, the (terrible) timing of the release, next to no marketing, as well as Nintendo's usual single-mindedness. Add to that a niche game to begin with, unimpressive graphics even for WiiWare, and what seems to be some poor business decisions from the developer and you end up with a disaster. The part that really gets me, though, is that it really is a FUN game! I agree with everyone who said that is no guarantee for sales, but as a gamer who enjoyed it and would have liked to see more of these types of games on Nintendo's consoles, I can't help but feel a bit sad that this developer feels so burned out on Nintendo. |
THIS!!! All of it. Seems that you and I are the only ones who actually played the damn thing on WiiWare. I think it just didnt get any notice at all. MDK2 is probably better than 80 percent of the crap on the service. Thanks for bringing the game to my attention BTW, never would have known about it otherwise.
