Topic: DESCENT FOR WiiWare ANNOUNCED

[Top Gun]

TopGun, the game, unfortunately, is not based on the fabulous cartoon 'Avatar, The Last Airbender', but is based on the movie 'Avatar, Which Has Great 3d Graphics But Is Otherwise Pretty Lame'. 

Oh...well, that explains it even more.  I heard that even the 360/PS3 game based on that movie was lousy.

[NUMBERZero]

I thought the movie was great, but I heard that the game was terrible. Infact, almost all games based off of a movie are bad...Except Spider Man 1 and 2. Those were some real good ones.

[D2Disciple]

There have been very few, but a few outstanding examples include Goldeneye 64, Alien Vs. Predator 2, and Transformers (the one based on the TV series, not the movie). Video games based off of movies or television series (and vice versa) tend to just cash in on the franchise's success. Unfortunately, it works.

[Sapphirus]

I agree.
Movies and Games should NOT be based on eachother.

Okay, we kinda went off-topic

[NUMBERZero]

The Transformers Armada game was the best!


Lol. Off topic. Oops, my bad. 

[-<WillyP>-]

I just came across this... The only compelling argument in favor of the wii:

[Matthew]

Heh... The DS girl is the best anyway

[NUMBERZero]

Yep, every 6 levels, you must destroy a boss robot and escape, but before that, you must destroy the reactors and escape. (In Descent 2)

lol
Darc! I am ashamed of you! It's every 4 levels!

[Ronin RedFox]

Oops.  

Fixted. 

[PyroJockey]

BUMP!

Ok, fall is officially over. Where's the Descent for my wii? 

[Scyphi]

Interplay recently changed the date to winter 2010, but beyond that, I can't tell you.

I DO know Descent for Wiiware exists, though. The maganize Nintendo Power did an article about it (I've seen it!). So it's actually being made. The questions that remain is when will it be released? I somehow doubt Interplay's going to meet the Winter 2010 deadline. 

[NUMBERZero]

How hard is it to port something that old and small? If you don't have all of the addons, I'm pretty sure that it'll fit in the Wii's little pea brain. My default D2 folder is only 234MB.


And that reminds me of the "CRAZY" installment option where you install an additional 64mb or something. XD

*2010*
"ArE YOu CRAZY!?!?!?1/1/1//1"
"YEA!"
*installs an additional 64MB on a computer that can handle 200GB*

They should have streamlined and ported D2X-XL to the Wii.

[-<WillyP>-]

I think that's a good idea.  Streamlined as in, remove remove most of the options?  ie, maybe have two modes, one for 'nostalgia' and another with all the bells and whistles you've added.

It takes longer now to go through all the options than it does to play through a level...    I don't think typical wii gamers have that long an attention span.  I'm just kidding of course.  Actually my kids love spending too much time customizing whatever they are playing.  On the wii, it's their mii character.

"Dad, wanna play wii bowling?"  "Ok"  "We gotta setup a mii for you... What color hair do you want?"  "I don't care let's just play the game."  "Ok, I'll give you brown hair... What color eyes do you want?"  "I don't care, just pick one and let's play!"  "Ok dad, I gave you green eyes."  "Fine, can we play now"  "I'm gonna change them to brown, ok?" " ARRRRgh.....

As I understand it from reading that Nintendo Power article (wish I could find a picture of it or something so to show you guys), Descent for the Wii is just a port of D1 with a few bug fixes, a few tweaks to work for the Wii, and a few bonus, fan-made (I presume, the article wasn't too clear) levels thrown in for a total of 60 some-odd levels, counting the original 27 of D1, nothing more than that, so I don't know what the delay is, other than Interplay possibly being the poor buisnessmen that they are as usual.
