February 7, 200719 yr Today Rockstar Games announced Manhunt 2 for Nintendo's Wii console. The title will also be coming to PlayStation 2 and PSP. The newly-formed Rockstar London will be handling overall development of the game concept (as well as programming the PS2 version), while Rockstar Toronto is heading up the Wii incarnation and Rockstar Leeds is coding the PSP version. The original Manhunt was the ultra-violent action game that revolved around creative kills such as bashing faces with a crowbar and wire stranglings. The game attracted attention from media watch groups and was fairly well-received by consumers and the press. "With Manhunt 2 we have tried to create a game that stays close to the original concept of chilling suspense and stealth, whilst pushing the game design and storytelling forward," said Sam Houser, founder and executive producer of Rockstar Games. "We are also excited to have our newest development team, Rockstar London, working on the title alongside our two established UK studios, Rockstar North and Leeds." Manhunt 2 will be available this summer. We have yet to hear how or if Wii version is different over the PS2 and PSP versions, but having a unique development team dedicated to this version should help keep this from being just a straight port. IGN has posted the first-ever teaser trailer of Manhunt 2 in our media section. See it for yourself below. http://wii.ign.com/articles/761/761795p1.html yep, you read that right, the sequal to the ultra violent game "Manhunt" will be on the wii, the ps2 and the psp. and yes playstation TWO, not 3. this could be the game to dispell nintendo's "kiddy" image.... Sigs made by Runemetsa, Nuzza, Dark_Shadow, Kuroi and Me.liquid blobs attacking eachother American Anime... YAY!

February 7, 200719 yr Ninetendo's kiddy image? How many resident evil games and stuff did we have on the gamecube? ok maby not lots but if it doesn't look apealing someone wont buy it just because its for the wii
February 7, 200719 yr Resident Evil 5 is also slated for the Wii I think... Bah, I don't want to have to buy a PS2, or worse, a Wii, just to play Manhunt 2. :( Lame. The popularity of any given religion today depends on the victories of the wars they fought in the past. - Me!
February 8, 200719 yr Red Steel, one of the games that came out with the Wii isn't exactly a "Kiddy game" is it? ~^v^~Ex-Leader of the Divine Flames of Redemption~^v^~
February 8, 200719 yr Why is it that every time Nintendo has a new mature game announced everyone gets all excited about it? The fact that people feel the need to exclaim that Nintendo finally got a non-kiddy game makes it seem kiddy in the first place, as if it's an occasion to celebrate every time we get an M-rated game. Games are just meant to be fun - drop the whole notion of a game being kiddy, and drop the excitement over getting a mature game. Once people in general stop caring whether or not a game is mature, they'll stop caring over whether or not Nintendo is 'kiddy.' PS: The game looks fun. :P
February 8, 200719 yr Resident Evil 5 is also slated for the Wii I think... RE5 is PS3 and 360 only, but Wii gets Umbrella Chronicles. Not alot is known and all that has been shown of it is 3 seconds of video. The story is going to span from RE1 through all the other games, apart from that, nothing is really known story wise. Supposedly it's going to run on a modified RE4 engine with the Wii controls added in. Needless to say, I'll be picking it up. As for Manhunt, I just hope it doesn't get banned in Australia again for being too violent. Damn the rating board and their lack of an R18+ rating for games.

February 8, 200719 yr As for Manhunt, I just hope it doesn't get banned in Australia again for being too violent. Damn the rating board and their lack of an R18+ rating for games.It'll get banned. Our ratings board are [kitties]. Just slap an R18+ on the games and be done with it - it aint hard #-o

Resi on Wii was originally rumoured to be sections from re1 re2 re3 and re4 all with re4's controls, now it's meant to be between Code Veronica RE4 showing whats happened, nothing has officially been anounced though these are both rumours but i'd say the 2nd one sounds more likely Sig by me....

The land of games that involve kicking heads off and eating them. And it's perfectly okay!

February 11, 200719 yr Wii has call of duty 3 and some version of Farcry on it... PHUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY! Kiddy image??? Are you 'kidding' me? (sorry bad pun)
February 11, 200719 yr People who need a game like this to see that the Wii isn't kiddy need their heads checked. Anyway, yea, cool. I guess. Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!
February 11, 200719 yr I've never liked Play Station. I've had Nintendo systems since NES. I don't find the games kiddie, some games come from the movies that have just came out and they are usually lame. Solution: don't buy those games... I just get games like Mario, Zelda, SSB, and whatever looks good to me and has a good rating. Quit RuneScape :)
February 12, 200719 yr It really annoys me when I see threads like this. As my sig says, I come from NoE, and it really annoyed all of us there when we saw people labelling Ninty as "kiddy" as though it's a bad thing... What is sooo bad about Ninty being kiddy? Their kiddy games are their best by a mile... Super Mario, F-Zero, Mario Kart, LoZ (well, not as kiddy, but certainly a lot more kiddy than other adventure games)... 4 great series of games! | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules |
February 18, 200719 yr Well some games are directed to kids. I wish they didn't refer to their system as a toy though.
February 18, 200719 yr Holy sharts, I think nintendo needs to ease into the hardcore, mature gaming crowd. Not crash into it Manhunt + Wii remote = :shock: http://www.draynor.net/code/bar/Noobin\Please join my very new up and coming forumshttp://s3.freepowerboards.com/runeboards Feel free to AIM or MSNM me anytime
February 19, 200719 yr I play my Wii normally with my little sister as she enjoys jumping round the room while playing a game so i don't think i will buy that game because like you said the wii has got quite a kiddy image to it.
February 27, 200719 yr Resident Evil 5 is also slated for the Wii I think... Bah, I don't want to have to buy a PS2, or worse, a Wii, just to play Manhunt 2. :( Lame. whats wrong with a ps2 u can play DVDs ps1 games(yuck) and music CDs with the ps3 all u can do is play ps3(dont got one but if i did i would probley regrit this) let the flaiming begin DoD:S ownagewhat we have here is a ..um.. failur to communcate check out my steam ID page @ alpha company
