Is Rage of the Gladiator even close to the same thing as MDK2? No... From what I understand from the demo, you stand there and fight things that are in front of you. That sounds nothing like MDK2, MDK2 has worlds to explore, puzzles to solve and guns to shoot. I think these games shouldn't be compared.
I like the "Wii would like to play" commercials. Nintendo just needs to do more like PS3 does. Sell themselves and games at the same time... even if they didn't make the game.
I am going to buy myself a points card for it this week, just to be ready. I've owned the Dreamcast version and the PC. This was one of the toughest Dreamcast games I owned.
Now if only they would bring Ooga Booga to Wiiware, with online multiplayer (already has it thanks to Seganet).
@longtimegamer: Yes, it's copyright infringment, but Nintendo will probably ignore him until he starts trying t-shirts and coffee mugs. He's not stealing enough money from them yet to make a law suit worth it.
The Sega Master System has 3D goggles... They had 8 3D games: Blade Eagle 3-D Line of Fire Maze Hunter Missile Defense 3-D Out Run 3-D Poseidon Wars 3-D Space Harrier 3-D Zaxxon 3-D
I want a new Rayman game instead. I recently had to throw out my Rayman 2 shirt that came free with my Dreamcast Disc... That shirt was not made for 8 years of wear and tear.
Flicking the wiimote helps conserve your grenades. And really just buy the Anthology. If anything just for the later Slug games' ZOMBIE stages. Those are the best 2D action stages ever.
It would be pretty easy to make most people happy. Less Shovelware, more VC! How many people would buy Derby Duds if Mario Party 2 came out at the same time?.. better yet, how many people are actually going to buy Derby Dogs? And is anyone besides Carl Lewis interested in a Running sports title?
Fox: you have to admit that the Wii also gets hit with a ton of crap on Disc too... I guess that is what happens when you take the family friendly role in the videogame wars.
So, you download them to the your SD card to play them forever?.. I miss the days of gaming when you could buy a magazine with a demo disc each month that had like 10 games on it.
I had lawn jarts as a child and must say that all other outdoor sports suck by comparison. Frisbees? Crap! Horse Shoes? Junk! Nothing compared to taking those heavy spiked jarts and throwing them as high and far as you could!
@2: I'm not sure if they were made illegal, just too dangerous for kids. and guns aren't marketed as a children's toy... lawn jarts was.
Hopefully, now that Labor Day marks the end of summer, we can expect the flood gates to open and we'll have a VC and GOOD WiiWare game each and every MONDAY!

@65 Can you use the Classic Controller? I might not buy it if there is only wiimote and nunchuck support.
But, really I do love this game. I've owned it on the dreamcast and the PC and would love to have it on the Wii.
