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!

Re: This is the Wii U Controller in All Its Glory
This beast looks like a re-painted Leapster 2. I'll just keep playing my with my wii.

@Zaphod: At least you still have your other head.
Re: Review: MDK2 (WiiWare)
@Ren: I only watch Netflix on the wii, I don't even have cable. And I barely have any disc games. I'm right there with you.
Re: Nintendo Download: 9th May 2011 (North America)
@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.
Re: Review: The Ignition Factor (Virtual Console / Super Nintendo)
If you buy this game, be sure to also buy Blades of Steel... So you recreate at least 80% of all Rescue Me episodes.
Re: Iwata Expresses Regrets About the Way the Wii was Marketed
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.
Re: Over 2 Million Players Bought Mario's 25th Anniversary Game
I can't wait for the wii to be dead for a couple years, so I can pick this and NSMBwii up at gamestop for less than $10.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Stream Coming Sooner Than We Think?
They should call it the Dolphin.

Re: MDK 2 Shoots for 1000 of Your Nintendo Points on 9th May
I loved this game and can't wait to get my classic controllered hands on it.
Re: Sega Teases Sonic Anniversary Announcement for 7th April
No love for wii.
Re: Chrono Trigger is Coming to Virtual Console in Japan
Am I the only person that didn't like Mega Man X? I owned it on the SNES and barely played it. Didn't even feel like a Mega Man game.

Re: Artist Brushes Up on 8-Bit History With Unique NES Paintings
So far they are looking great. Good luck getting through all those later games that were licensed from horrible movies.
Re: WiiWare Comes Under Heavy Fire: Black Arms on Monday
I'd pay 500 Nintendo Points for a game where you could shoot at the band 30th of July.
Re: WiiWare Comes Under Heavy Fire: Black Arms on Monday
"Best Selling Special Forces Shooter is back on Wiiware!"
B.S. Translator:
"The only Special Forces Shooter is back on Wiiware!"
Re: Jet Grind Radio
Had this. Played just like the ol Tony Hawk Pro skater GBA games. But, really if you want to play this, play the Dreamcast version.
Re: Nintendo Reveals New Kirby Platformer for Wii in 2011
It looks like Kirby 64. Maybe it's just the size of the video, but it looked exactly like Kirby 64. Hopefully they push the Wii harder than that.
Re: Iwata Asks About 3D Gaming on the Famicom Disk System
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
Take that Nintendo!
Re: Review: Raving Rabbids Travel in Time (Wii)
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.
Re: Review: Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary Edition (Wii)
Just wait a couple years and buy it used at Gamestop, cheap. Problem solved.
Re: Put Your Mario Party Hats On This Monday, North America
Do I have to wait till next Christmas for Yoshi's Island?
Re: Review: Metal Slug Anthology (Wii)
How many 2D games let you set zombies on fire? Not many, Not many...
A must purchase for anyone who ever had a good time playing Contra.
Re: Review: Metal Slug (Virtual Console / Neo Geo)
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.
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th December 2010 (North America)
@22: No, but the Detroit Lions won a game.
Re: Nintendo Shifts 1.5 Million Consoles During Black Friday Week
@TLink9: Do you really think if they waited this long to get a DSi, they will pick a 3DS right when it comes out?
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th November 2010 (North America)
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?

Re: Nintendo Download: 8th November 2010 (North America)
No Demos? No VC? The Wii is officially DEAD!
Re: ThruSpace
I might like this, if only they would let us try before you buy.
Re: WiiWare Demos Launch This Week with Four New Downloads
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.
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st November 2010 (North America)
I'm still busy with Flashlight... so I will pass on all of these.

Funniest thing I have read all day. Thank you.
Re: Nintendo Download: 25th October 2010 (North America)
No Nintendo Anniversary love?... Where is my Yoshi Island?
Re: We Celebrate 25 Years of NES
Where is our special VC to go along with this important date, Nintendo?
Re: Netflix Channel Now Available From Wii Shop
I've been waiting 6 months for this. I've probably worn out my disc, I use Netflix that much.
Re: Triple Jumping Sports
Pass. I'll wait for the eventual Special Edition Retail (Disc) Release that contains, shooting, throwing, jumping and eating events.
Re: Review: Triple Jumping Sports (WiiWare)
I had high hopes for this game... All the screen shots looked AWESOME.
NOT!

Finally! I wanted 1942 for like 20 years now!
Re: Sega Strikes Poor Sonic Games from Catalogue to "Increase Brand Value"
Doesn't Sega realize that once they stopped making their own consoles, they stopped making Good Sonic Games.
Re: Review: Wii Party (Wii)
The only party game I ever owned was Sonic Shuffle. And that was crap. And I have no friends to play with. Pass.
Re: Target Toss Pro: Lawn Darts T-Shirt Competition
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.
Re: You Can Stop Waiting for Worms: Battle Islands on WiiWare Now
Booooo.
This has ruined my day. I guess Grand Theft Retro will get my 1200 wii points I have been saving for 5 months.
Re: Nintendo Shows Who's Boss of the August Sales Chart
Who's buying Wipeout? Really, I can't sit through 5 minutes of the TV show! I couldn't imagine the game holding 10 seconds of my attention.
Re: Nintendo Rolls Out Logo For Mario's 25th Anniversary
Why not use the same game engine as Super Mario Wii and remake all the original SMB games? I'd buy that even though I already own the VC versions.
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th September (North America)
No Worms? Boooooooooooooooooooooooo!
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!

Re: Buy Ufouria If You Want More Quirky Virtual Console Titles
@MeloMan: For the record I was just kidding. I love the fact that they are pleading with us (the consumers)...
p.s. judging by your avatar, are you also a Michigander?
