We brought you the first trailer for MDK2 WiiWare earlier this morning, but now we have a bunch of screenshots and new details thanks to a listing on Nintendo’s site. Check out the first images of the game as well as the new information below.
3 Unlikely Heroes, 1 Ultimate Goal.
Kurt Hectic must save the universe. He is teamed with the genius Dr. Hawkins and the 6-legged gun-toting robotic dog, Max. Together they must out-sneak, out-blast and out-think their enemies as they attempt to reclaim earth from a vile alien menace.

If you’ve been following Nintendo Everything for a decent amount of time, then you’re probably aware of the fact that we’re huge fans of Shin’en. The company pushes Nintendo hardware to their limit – in spite of the fact that they have a limited amount of resources and manpower.
Jett Rocket, for instance, is one of the best-looking titles on the Wii even though it is a downloadable release and weighs in at less than 40 megabytes. Again, that’s because the developers over at Shin’en truly work their magic on Nintendo platforms.
Shin’en’s next WiiWare title, FAST – Racing League, is looking equally as impressive. The game has finally been pinned for a May release in Europe and it should hit the North American Wii Shop Channel around the same timeframe. To celebrate the upcoming release of FAST, Shin’en has sent us some new screenshots of the title. You can check those out above. Company CEO Manfred Linzner has also explained why fans should be excited about the game.
Update: Toys “R” Us are also temporarily dropping the price of the Wii.
The rumored Wii price drop won’t be put into effect on May 15 (if the speculation is to be believed), but Best Buy is now offering the console for $30 less. Consumers can purchase the black or white Wii bundles with Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, and Wii Remote Plus for just $169.99.
Keep in mind that this isn’t Engadget’s alleged price cut. Earlier this week, the site reported that the Wii’s price will be dropped to $149.99 next month, though Nintendo has yet to confirm the rumor. At the moment, Best Buy appears to be the only major retailer selling the console for less than $199.99.
Is Maximilian and the Rise of the Mutant Mudds seeing a revival? Well, if the game’s newly opened site and Twitter account are any indication, the answer to that question is a resounding yes.
The title appeared to be all but cancelled due to Renegade Kid not receiving enough positive responses on their blog. But the new site shows a 2D Max character in sprite form, along with the following message:
“Hi, this is Max. I found a mysterious website. Please check it out here: http://www.mutantmudds.com. It seems as though I have been reduced to my purest form: pixels. I find this to be somewhat alarming while also refreshing.”
Perhaps Renegade Kid is planning on giving Maximilian and the Rise of the Mutant Mudds another shot, albeit in another style. It isn’t even entirely clear if we’ll still see Max in a game, but the chances are stronger than they were a few months ago. Hopefully we’ll receive some answers sooner rather than later.
This information comes from Capcom’s Masachika Kawata…
“It might take some time to be honest…This time, the amount of script increased significantly and it will be a lot of work. We’ll make it so it will be a real horror experience. Don’t miss it!”
Resident Evil: Revelations definitely won’t be released this year, and I doubt we’ll see it in early 2012. If I had to guess, I’d say the title will be released Fall 2012.
