MDK2 landing May 9 on WiiWare

After keeping a relatively low profile, IdeaSpark Labs port of the Bioware-developed madcap third-person shooter will hit the US WiiWare store in a couple of weeks.

Back in February IdeaSpark co-founder Trent Oster stated that “MDK 2 for WiiWare has entered the final stages of the certification process.” Little had been heard in the last couple of months but now a release date has been put up on the game’s WiiWare page.

MDK2 was originally released back in 2000 for PC and Dreamcast, with a PS2 port appearing a year later. The game was renowned for its punishing difficulty – which Oster stated was undergoing “some tuning” for the WiiWare remake – as well as for its ambiguous title, MDK. Clues from the original MDK and its sequel pointed to a full title of either: Murder, Death, Kill or Mission: Deliver Kindness.

Take your pick.

A HD remake of MDK2 for PC is also in development by IdeaSpark Labs, though no launch date has been announced.

Thanks, Destructoid.

On WiiWare? I’ll be surprised if it sells more than three copies.

In my optimistic mind I would very much like to see this on live and PSN. Preferably alongside KotOR… Yes, I would sleep softly that night.
