 You guys play the Mod Jenka's Nightmare?

 It's just... Oh jeez, its hard. Damn you, Monster X sequence!

Yeah, that Jenka's Nightmare... I've spent five minutes cussing it out. I think I'm stuck on Monster X also.

So. The Wii version is finally out. It's 1200 points on the Wii Shop channel, now go get it.

Spoiler: Changes I've noticed: WARNING! Rage inside! (click to show/hide)

Balrog no longer says Huzzah! Now, he says "Oh yeaaah!"
Controls are a bit more sluggish, but that may be the Wiimote doing that.
Top and bottom of screen are a bit cut off
Sounds are much louder than music
You can do Boss Rush and Sacred Ground Run modes before even reaching either
Curly Mode, which is basically playing the game with Quote's and Curly's roles switched.

I always thought it would've been out by now, btw nice avatar!

There's a Wii version of this out?! With more stuff?!

I must have an older version, since I got it a few years ago from what looked like(but might not have been) a ROM site. And it works in Vista.

For those of you who want to get the secret ending(there's three endings total) and don't mind me ruining for you:
Long spoiler alert!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

In the Labrynth, when you get to the part where Booster falls in, DON'T drop down to talk to him. Otherwise he dies, and you need him alive. You MUST jump across. In my version - because I dunno about yours - there's a red marker showing where to start the jump from in order to make it. Any before or after that and you'll fall, killing Booster.

Then, when you reach the core, BEFORE talking to Curly to start the fight the core, search at the ground in front of it, and you'll see something sparkling - the Tow Cable. If it's not there, then Booster died and you failed.

After the fight with the core, examine Curly once or twice to take you with her. When you reach the cabin in the waterway, the computer on the desk will tell you to sleep on the bed. Do so. Curly will be left on the bed. The PC will tell you to search the bookshelf. Do so, and you'll "learn how to treat flooded robots"(Curly). Then examine Curly to treat her. She'll wake up, and pass out again.

Examine her twice more to take her with you again. You won't be able to sleep on the bed anymore(it's too wet) but you won't be coming back anyway. You get seperated from her when you kill Ironhead(the fish boss).

Upon returning to Arthur's House, Booster shows up and hands a better jetpack than you'd get if you killed him. If you still have the Polar Star, you can return to the guy you stole it from to get the Spur(and doing that, return to the Labrynth  Shop to get the Whimsical Star). You'll find Curly again in the Plantation, along with Cthulu. He tells you about a mushroom that can restore memories.

Return to the Graveyard, use the Booster V2 to reach the hidden door. There you'll find Ma Pignon. Talk to him and answer his questions to get the Mushroom Badge. Examine it to see how useless it is, and talk to the mushroom again. Kill him. Take him back to Curly and cram it down her throat. She'll give you the Iron Bond. With it, you get a harder version of the Final Cave, and access to Hell after beating the Undead Core.

I mean, it's not like it was copyrighted.  If anything, that's encroaching on KoolAid territory, and were it any other situation that would be awesome.

But it's not.  It's wrooong!

[Duke 2.0]

 RAEG indeed.
 I hear that the experience crystal sound I heard and hated was just a placeholder. Good. That alone would have driven me off from playing it. The old sound was pleasant to listen to in massive numbers. That sound...

 Lets just say that the sound quality seems fine from whatever gameplay videos I could find.

[cowofdoom78963]

I dont think there is any reason to put the changes in spoilers. The main menu seems to spoil half the game anyway.

[KaelGotDwarves]

No more Huzzah!

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?

[dragnar]

So... nothing is changed... but now it cost 10$ and they took out huzzah?! Are they just hoping none of their customers can operate a computer?(not necessarily a bad assumption unfortunately)

...Oh good God.  The now "classic" PC version available for free, online, for years, will still be available for free online right?  Right?

Of course. They said so on their site.

How exactly would they expect to get rid of it anyway?

What.
THE.
FUCK.

DID THEY REALLY DO THAT? REALLY?

If that's really the case, I am no longer going to buy the game.  I consider it an excellent warning factor for a sucky translation/adaptation.

EDIT: I see people talking about it on the official forum... yeah.

[Duke 2.0]

 Of course, we need to look at the other side of the issue here. The original translations were made by fans who may not have known the intentions of Pixel in what he wanted to portray. This is closer to what Pixel wanted to say.

 This does not excuse what I hear is bad music remakes, and bad implementation of the old music that does not loop properly and is much too loud. And annoying sound effects.
