Here's something you might have totally forgotten. Last year, we mentioned that BioWare-developed cult classic MDK2 was receiving a WiiWare port. It was admittedly a strange announcement; as with most outlandish WiiWare news, I expected this title to disperse into the vapor.
Well, the game is ready, and according to its WiiWare page, it's set to come out on May 9 for 1000 Nintendo bucks. From the trailer and screens available, it doesn't look like MDK2 has received much in the way of visual upgrades, but that's to be expected given that this is friggin' WiiWare we're talking about.
I personally haven't played either MDK, but I've heard great things about the series. There's a six-legged dog with a gun and a dude wearing a massive penis helmet. That's gotta be worth consideration, right?
[Thanks for the heads up, Anthony!]

My cousins have been harping on about on how this game is all kinds of awesome, so a Wiiware release is welcome in my book, I'll be sure to check it out.
I'm confused now, then can fit a Dreamcast game on Wiiware, but they couldn't with Meat boy
That's what I was thinking. Limit for Wiiware games is something like 50mbs or something. MDK2 is much bigger than that.
I have the PC version, so it really wasn't difficult.
Dear Interplay: Please get together with BioWare and make another MDK game. The world definitely needs more MDK games.
Also - I'd keep that to myself from now on.
Also, because of Wiiware limit I'll wait for reviews first. I don't want a repeat of what happened to Tales of Monkey Island.
Interplay who released MDK 2 and was growing out of Shiny, was teasing a sequel, I guess it will depend on the succes of this port, so go get it even if you don't know a thing about it or hate. :)
Best,
-Trent
