@gumby_trucker mayve, but in my defense i dont read Nintendo Power, im a mult console guy so i pick up and look at multiconsole sites and magazines,  but as we know they ignore WiiWare, hell they would probably ignore PSN too if most of the games were not muitiplat with XBL, should probably go on Ninty Life. Thanks for the info, it doesnt look better than the DC version but it doesnt look worse, just different. and no shadows doesnt bother me or missing music

@huaxiong90  my PC blows, my laptop could probably run it but its getting funky. and i do wanna support WiiWare maybe we'll get more stuff like this (not freaking likely)

No worries

I'll probably get it too as long as the review is ok.

Though if you're ever in need of advice on some interesting WiiWare games, you can always give me a holler.



Until you've played it, every game is a system seller!

First review is out:

http://www.gamepro.com/article/reviews/219385/review-mdk2-wiiware/

Good enough for me! Between this, Shinen's FAST, Motoheroz and awesome VC releases like Mega Man X, FF3 and Chrono-Trigger, I'm gonna have me a little spending spree on Nintendo Wifi Connection

You're an even stranger Wii owner than trestres.

Trestres is the saddest Nintendo fan on planet earth even though (or because?) he seems to know everything about Nintendo.

You, on the other hand, don't seem to know much about what's going on your "Ninty" systems, but at least you sound enthusiastic when something worthwile is released for them, which seems to happen rarely enough.

MDK 2 was announced by Interplay for WiiWare more than a year ago along with Descent and Stonekeep (Shiny Entertainment and Interplay are the companies to mention when it comes to the semi-legendary and financially disastrous MDK franchise, not Bioware which just happened to make the sequel).

I never cared for MDK. Descent and Stonekeep are the far more interesting and surprising WiiWare announcements in my opinion. Descent is the most promising one. I loved it though it drove me mad and introduced me and many others to motion sickness. Back then it was a technically groundbreaking and fascinating game.

BTW: Please don't ever say your PC or laptop couldn't handle a game from 2000, which is available for download since years, unless your PC and laptop are from 2000. Makes you sound a bit silly.



@gumby_trucker  preciate it, especially since my "trusted" sites and mags dont cover anything about WIIWare.

@trestres  thanks, i guess?? Like i said the usually visit IGN, 1UP, read EGM & GI and they dont really cover stuff on WIIWare, hell they barely do it for PSN. of course im happy about a good game coming to a system i own, why wouldnt I??

and i didnt say my laptop couldnt handle it, but it is messed up right now, it can barely hold a charge

you do now about Shinen's game FAST coming May 27th, right?

Just making sure since that game looks full of win.

"Trestres is the saddest Nintendo fan on planet earth even though (or because?) he seems to know everything about Nintendo."

Well Ecclesiastes 1:18 states "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow."



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

@gumby_trucker is that the one that looks like Wipeout??? Im sorry but it looks like a poor man's....Wipeout. and considering that i already have Wipeout HD im gonna pass, they look to similiar. thanks anway

@lordtheknight  i get it



having played MDK2 for about an hour and a half now I can confirm it is phenomenal and works wonderfully on Wii!

at this point I can recommend it to anybody who's interested, seeing as some of the guys on Nintendo Life can vouch for the quality in the later levels. It's pretty hard to believe the amount of content they managed to cram inside those measly 40 MB, but what's most important is just how well it plays! I forgot "crappy Dreamcast games" could be this much fun

In short, if you're in doubt GET IT!
