Topic: DESCENT FOR WiiWare ANNOUNCED

[NUMBERZero]

At a Tire place?! And they say that they didn't advertize XD

[Kaiaatzl]

The same copy was just sitting there for months... I'm not sure they ever actually sold it.  Of course if they had, I'd look pretty stupid asking them about it (I've considered it a few times).

I own descent for the playstation and maybe it's just me but i find it near impossible to play it with the PS1 controllers.  I much rather prefer the pc version.  And this is the first i ever heard about Descent on WiiWare, so hopefully whenever they get around to releasing it it'll be decent enough.  Either way, good or bad, I will end up getting it.

[Darkflamewolf]

I wonder how the Wii controls will work.

[Scyphi]

I DO know Descent for Wiiware exists, though. The maganize Nintendo Power did an article about it (I've seen it!).

And now I have proof of this article's existence! My little bro found a copy of said magazine with the article in it, so I quickly scanned it in.

[Kaiaatzl]

Coolness.
I saw this same page on the Interplay forums a month ago too.

[Scyphi]

Yeah, that's where I first saw it, too, but when I brought it up, I couldn't find it again.

Now I just need to get a Wii (seriously, there are a lot of Wii games apart from this I want to try as well... Sonic Colors for one...)
If this does get released I might start saving my money for one.

[Scyphi]

Oohoo, Sonic Colors...probably the best Sonic game since Sonic Adventure.

I'd get Descent for the Wii at the very least to try out the wiimote controls. Probably would have to relearn the game all over again, but if the game meets my expectations, it could be worth it.

This is making me want to D1...

You could also get Super Smash Bros Brawl since it had Sonic in it (ironic isn't it?) (and it also had Solid Snake from Metal Gear (Solid) in it)

Anyways back to the subject,
I did also see that scan on Interplay's forum but it's slightly in a different rotation

EDIT: one more post untill 100 replies in this thread!

There's going to be a trackmania game coming out later this year for the wii, too.

[Kaiaatzl]

Yep, I knew that (it may be already out in Canada, we got TM United in 2006 before the states.  I've been asking around about that but no response yet.)  I'm happy with TM United Forever right now though.

[Darkflamewolf]

it said it would include levels from its expansion packs, descent 1 had expansion packs?! I thought only D2 had Vertigo and Levels of the World does NOT count as a expansion pack imo. If they use levels from that, that is just sad. However, I wouldn't mind them using Vignettes. *grin*

[Scyphi]

Well, prepare to be disappointed, then, Darkflamewolf, because Levels of the World is the most obvious level set to include as a bonus to D1. In fact, alot of the pictures shown in that article are from Levels of the World levels (like Super Station in the top right pic, if I'm not mistaken).

I don't see what's to be disappointed about, though. Some of the best D1 levels ever are in Levels of the World. And I'm sure the makers of these levels would be very flattered to have their works included, by default, in Descent Wiiware.

[Foil]

LotW is random, but I certainly remember it being marketed as an add-on to D1, and Scy is right, some of those levels are pretty good!
