Yeah, seems to be just more of the same old, same old half-hearted promises.

so when they said release for December 2010, did they actually mean December 2011?

But if they release this and the next generation of "wii" comes out, that shouldn't matter right? Cuz I mean, it'll be downloadable on the "wii network" or whatever it's called, right?
I like to think I have a Descent taste of music.

Assuming it ever gets released, yes.  ::)

Once again, it's on that list, with "Battle Chess" before it.

That was a fun game. I remember playing that long ago.

according the the first page on here, that link, it says:

Descent is expected for initial release during Fall 2010 and is planned for electronic distribution through Nintendo's WiiWare™ service.

wow, a year ago. some of you are hearing from them though, right, about music or whatever; that they're still working on it, right?

I keep forgetting about it. I don't have a Wii, that may be part of it. Talk of the old D4 is another I guess.

If they start by saying:

"It's not about the quantity, but the quality..." that ought to say something.

D3 sure can be fun, especially online

I'm afraid my interest is still somewhere else.

Commercial:
"Now you can play the classic Descent games on your very own console!"

me:
"hm.. cool."

Commercial:
"Play all of the classic Descent maps, including fan favorites! Also! Descent 3 with Mercenary!"

me:
"I'm going to have to go and get that. sounds cool!"

next commercial:

"For free, get three wallpapers of your favorite Call of Duty game!"

me:
jumps out of bed, "oh my!!!!!! YAHOOOOOOOOOOO!!! C.O.D. BABY!"

sorry. Descent is good, and if I knew how and if they had it available; I'd buy it for the PS3 in a heartbeat. $60 bucks each? I'd do it.

Call of Duty and Descent have really been the top two games that I really like. Only problem is, some Descent games are harder to get going on my PC, and no new Descent games.
sad actually. It would be fun to play new maps.

Honestly vanguard it's really kind of your fault for refuse to use windows, which is after all what Descent was made for...

And COD? Bleh.

I could have Windows, but then I'd have to deal with a lot of the b.s. on it, and I don't think it's worth it. I have Descent I and II going, and may get D3 going if I can get the mac discs.

And COD? Bleh.

What about COD? It didn't take. I don't know why  :)

The multiplayer is fast and good and it takes quick reflexes and skill, but the campaign has gone the way of "press A to continue."
