MDK 2 dropping into WiiWare, 'HD' version targeting PC

by JC Fletcher on Jun 25th 2010 7:30PM

Interplay is continuing its bizarre WiiWare resurrection of classic franchises with BioWare's beloved MDK2. The action-shooter-puzzle-adventure game, a sequel to an equally well-remembered game by Shiny, is being planned for release on WiiWare sometime this winter.

Following that, a new version of the game, called MDK2 HD, will be released on PC via the Beamdog distribution service -- which happens to be have been founded by Trent Oster, formerly of BioWare. If you don't want to wait for whatever remastering will be done, you can get the original MDK2 (and its predecessor) at Steam or GoG.

Never played the 2nd MDK, but I loved the first one... What system did MDK2 drop for orginally, Dreamcast right?

@Yezzir1128 -
Dreamcast and PC I think. I've gone back to try to play it recently and...ehh...it doesn't really hold up as well as I'd have hoped. I absolutely loved it when it came out though.

Never played either of them. Thinking about getting the first one on Steam.

YEEEESSSS. I never beat MDK 2, that series is effing hard, but loved both games for their style and humor. Seems to be the season of dusting off old games and giving them a fresh coat of paint.

IT'S FINALLY AVAILABLE AGAIN FOR ME.

@Cerpin Taxt IT IS AVAILABLE FOR YOU RIGHT NOW ON GOG.COM AND HAS BEEN FOR A YEAR OR TWO.

@(Unverified) I tried to make my comment specific to me because I don't have Windows.

I never finished MDK2 (got stuck with Max at some jetpack section), but now the universe is giving me another chance!

I would be more enthusiastic about this if any of Interplay's previous WiiWare revivals had actually come to fruition. Whatever happened to Clay Fighter, Stonekeep and Descent??
