MDK 2 gets WiiWare release

BioWare wasn’t always famous only for Baldurs Gate or Mass Effect: it had also developed the sequel to one of the greatest third-person shooters in gaming history – MDK.

The sequel will make its appearance on WiiWare today, becoming the first TPS title from the developers to do so.

MDK saw you embark on a mission as Kurt Hectic – janitor of inventor Dr. Fluke Hawkins – to save planet Earth from from an alien invasion.

Bioware made the sequel for publisher Interplay back in 2000. Staying true to the formula, which made the first game a cult classic, they also added playable bits for Dr.Hawkins and his six armed robotic dog, Max.

MDK 2 was released for PC and Dreamcast in 2000, and a port for Playstation 2 was made in 2001.

You can experience it on the Wii  for 1,000 WiiWare points now.

Do what you like pat but if its that easy to “piss you off” I take it there will be an uprising in bans. I also hope that was a joke guided at me seeing how I’m one of your reasonable visitors.

Cool. I’ll probably check it out. This may be off subject, but I heard River City Ransom 2 is in production and aimed at a summer release for Live and PSN!!!!

I hope it comes out for xbla and psn too! :) and yeah, I heard about river city ransom sequel aswell! That would be awesome, but, is it a Nintendo exclusive? I can’t remeber who published the original? These days, you need to own all the major consoles, I need to pick up a Wii again although I’m tempted to wait cause of project cafe’s backwards compatiblity…

I believe it’s going to be released on all three consoles. That’s why I make sure I got all 3 systems. So I can play all of the exclusives. I just have to work on getting a computer. I just don’t have $2000 to spare LOL

@51 – yea that seemed quite unnecessary on Pat’s part. Lex has always been a reasonable commenter =/

Threatening him with a ban for asking questions is hardly reasonable. I wont argue with TEA’s ban ofcourse that was totally fair i believe.

@aha I generally don’t contribute to any sites. I grew to like vg247 a lot within the first 3-4 months I joined. But, within the last 2-3 mnths I have been losing a lot of respect for this site. I’m feeling awfully inclined to leave this site and just go to something like ign and no longer beapart of this community. I think this is the last site I will ever share my opinion with outside of political debates. Atleast they come off as douches from the beginning and don’t hit you with surprises

@58 – I have no time to listen to you complaining about warnings, and who did what first, and all the rest of it. Nor do I have time to sort out all these pathetic little squabbles among people that really should know better. Quite frankly, I don’t care if I’m being “reasonable” or not. If you want to go, go. If you want to stay here and talk about games and be a pleasant individual, you’re more than welcome. It’s entirely up to you. If you can’t see that whining about me banning someone as overtly offensive as tea is going to “piss me off,” then all the best. OK?

Indeed. The ban hammer was used and TEA failed to make his saving throw.

I have fallen deeply in love with Pat 2.0.

This new Pat is bold, empowered and distinctly old testament. Sweeping away the shite and spraying his musk on the forum. I can almost hear ‘you are mine now bitches’ when a page loads!

Yes, I’m easy. But power is sexy! ;D

As for MDK, boy that was a wacky game. As French as it gets. Enjoyed it on the Amiga as I remember. Please dont troll me for that Kerplunk, oh and leave OG alone. The guy is possibly the least offensive poster here and doesnt deserve the abuse you continually hurl at him.

For some reason MDK2 slipped under my radar. Would love to check it out though so fingers crossed for an XBLA release.

“Nobody likes a kiss arse”

I don’t know… maybe if I’m on the receiving end. :P

@63 Given that you’ve hurled expletives and abuse at me (and others) more than once for expressing an opinion that didn’t align with yours – I think I’ll just regard your suggestion on behaviour as merely another example of two-faced hypocrisy from someone who isn’t able to follow the rules that they expect others to follow.

You can grab MDK2 for peanuts from Good Old Games and it’ll fly on a moderately competent PC. No need to miss out on a good game.

My posting history has nothing to do with you constantly harassing OG. Please stop doing so.

No where near in my post was I “whining” pat. But, my given right to express how I don’t appreciate your miss guided anger is still a right I reserve. If all it took was a few question to “piss you off” then that shows little restraint in emotions on your part. Abuse your power in any way you feel but I will state my opinion regardless. I did not ask for your sympathy nor beg for it. I ask for your reasoning which is not a crime.

I don’t do kiss ass, I will simply state how I view and wish to view things. Your interpretation on what my objectives were was quite hilarious though. Tea is a big boy and can handle his battles. But, if I were to choose to stay in a community such as this one I reserve the right to understand exactly what kind of rules are to be implemented and I am to be subjected to. 1 liner rules such as don’t piss pat off leaves. A lot of the people on the site clueless and guessing seeing how we don’t think like pat in the first place
