And then there are the bragging rights, "our system is backwards compatible with Xbox games the 360 can't run."

Tim Schafer better get working on an adventure game, not this platforming crap. I'm glad it sold horribly.

Psychonauts was great but don't expect games this big on the VC. If you really want to play it do as said above or just buy an xbox in a few months (or when Halo 3 comes out, you were gonna wait that long anyway) when it becomes dirt cheap.

I would like to see Psychonauts, but I really don't see this happening.

The difference is that I'm sad his adventure games sold horribly.
In my heart Grim Fandango is still the best-selling game ever.

My PC would never run that game, it would rather explode. And I heard the PS2 version was a POS compared to the Xbox version, which I could believe.
People already download the whole library of Xbox games using mod chips, why not download a current gen game on Wii?
"lol is this a GameFAQs thread." Is there a thread on this on gamefaqs too? collective conscious at work?

Not enough to make it a bad game. Some load times are annoying but often you spend 30 minutes or more in a section between loading screens. Textures are a bit blurry in some places, I've had minor slowdown once (in a sector without enemies) but no real problems pertaining to the system. Rather than starting threads on how you want a multiplatform game that can be played by 95% of the gaming population (but apparently that 95% didn't give a damn) to be ported on a console that has not even been released you can just go out and buy it. If your PC is so ancient that it can't play a PS2 port you might want to upgrade it.

No but your idea is stupid enough to fit on GameFAQs.
It's completely impossible for the Wii to emulate an Xbox accurately. There's also no reason the game needs a port or sequel. In fact I'd say that attempting either of those would waste money that could be better spent on a new idea. Psychonauts can be found in the clearance bin in large numbers. It just didn't sell.
Psychonauts has NO use for the remote. Look at Super Mario Galaxy, they had to add a new game element to make use of the motion sensing. Psychonauts is the same, there is no aiming at all in the game. Sometimes you lock on and fire a few shots but it's rare and not a major game element.

The gogglor level was absolute genius, so was the milkman level, now that I think about it they pretty much all were.

I can't believe the anti-Psychonauts sentiment on this board. I understand the game did not sell well, but I think that the game was extremely original and a blast to play. I think nemo's point to get it on the Wii is a valid one. People may get to appreciate the excellence that was Psychonauts if Nintendo really pushed the game(perhaps published it). Fanboys like us eat up pretty much anything Nintendo formally endorses and I don't see why a Psychonauts 2 would be any different. Although the likelihood of any of this is slim to none, it's still nice to dream.

That's what Lucas Arts wants you to believe. That rationale does not explain the increasing number of point & click adventures that are being released.
Are all the levels fairly linear?
Depends on the level. Some levels include exploration and backtracking while others are just obstacle parcourses. There are hidden items throughout the games that increase your ammo and life limits (kinda like Metroid) and you can replay any level later if you want to search through it again.
