Murder Death Kill Reborn on WiiWare on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

The popular third person shooter Murder Death Kill 2 will be seeing a ported version on WiiWare this year.

Interplay has confirmed plans to revive the franchise with the second entry heading to Wii and an HD version for PC. The original Murder Death Kill 2 was released back in 2000 on SEGA's Dreamcast and PC, with a port on PlayStation 2 the following year.

The WiiWare remake will follow the same format, with protagonist Kurt Hectic joined by Dr. Hawkins and the 6-legged gun-toting robotic dog Max.

An idea of what the original MDK2 looked like:

Are you a fan of Murder Death Kill? Are you excited for the HD pc and WiiWare releases?

How can they fit the entire title into the 40MB limit of WiiWare games?! Nintendo has plans to high this limit? Naaaaa... I suppose MDK2 will be sliced into many chapters... At least, I hope they will be cheap.

You would be surprised how small some Playstation games actually are without FMV's.
The original Ridge Racer in 1995 could fit entirely in the 4MB playstation RAM!

I played one of these games on the Dreamcast. It was really fun but too difficult for me.

Interesting. Either they go with the episode approach or I don't see how they can fit a Dreamcast game into 40 MB.

Woops thought this was the first one, how there getting a DC game on is kind of a mystery

A lot of games back then weren't actually very large, and many a time the ample disc space offered was used by FMVs and so forth. The actual game files were often that sort of size. Look at many multi-platform games that were on both PSone and N64. PSone discs could hold up to 700MB, the absolute biggest N64 cartridge was 64MB, denoted as 512Mb by Nintendo (RE2, Pokémon Stadium 2).

This bigger cart came very late in the N64's cycle, and was used by only a few games. My point is that N64 versions of multiplat games only suffered loss of FMV and many times lost some audio (particularly things like voice acting). Other than that, all the content of the PSone version was there.

So yeah, I reckon they could get MDK2 down under 40MB.

I remember playing the demo of MDK1. It used a lot of sprites (even for the main character) and that way it looked better than any other game on our PC...

This, actually, is MDK2, as noted in the news. MDK1 was even more difficult then this one, but had some of the coolest moves, ideas and such and was far beyond it's time on PC. I own both titles, it were masterpieces, but where overlooked.
I'm curious how they make the pullover from past PC to thisgen gameplay.
I am looking forward for this!

I find your lack of faith disturbing!
