An updated release list from Ignition Entertainment has yielded a surprising result: the heretofore Sony-exclusive puzzle series, Mercury, will be gracing Wii consoles with not one but two games come this Turkey Day. Mercury Meltdown and Mercury Type R are currently slated along with the previously announced Metal Slug Anthology to be released this November for the Wii. Mercury has received some critical acclaim for its inventive puzzle design and play mechanics, so with any luck, the Wii will have two excellent puzzle games before long. (Author's note: actual Mercury is a deadly, poisonous liquid metal that should not be handled under any circumstances without proper supervision and care. Then again, if you're dumb enough to kill yourself with a silver blob, consider yourself eligible for a Darwin Award.)

I'm glad they are bringing this to the Wii, it was the one PSP game that was really fun for me. The play mechanics could be interesting if you held the controller flat like the surface and twisted and turned it to navigate the course, like an old fashioned labyrinth.

This game was a terribly underrated puzzle game on the PSP. I can not tell you haw happy it makes me seeing this come to the Wii, but I can say I'll be picking this up the second it hits the shelves.
But two versions? That I do not understand.

This was a great game concept on the PSP, however, it was plagued by HORRIBLE load times. I stopped playing it because of them. They weren't WWE bad...but had me wondering WTF toook so long to load such small stages. I know, I know, it's a developer issue, so I hope they don't ruin the game's potential on the Wii.
Outside of that issue, what a perfect match for the system! Little pick-up-and-play games like this, to epic adventures like Zelda...the Wii is truly turning into a must own for every gamer. Man, am I ever gonna be broke come the holidays.
