Wii Warm Up: Top title for 2009?

Posted Nov 19th 2008 8:00AM by David Hinkle
Filed under: Wii Warm Up

So, yesterday we had some talk about 2009 and how there are plenty of great games releasing on the Wii. What we want to know this morning is what is the top 2009 title for you? What are you looking forward to most next year? We know it's a lot to ask, what with everything that is due to release.

Is it The Conduit? Is it MadWorld? Sin & Punishment 2? Well, out with it!

Nintendo confident core will be satisfied in 2009

Well, we would think, given that there are a bunch of really unique and fun-looking games coming down the pipe next year. MadWorld, Sin & Punishment 2, The Conduit, and Punch-Out!! are just a few of the games that the core are likely excited for. "I think that next year you're going to see the tide turn a little bit, in terms of people realizing that the Wii can have something of interest for everybody," said Cammie Dunaway in a MTV Multiplayer interview. "So, yeah, I think next year is going to be a pretty good year in terms of the breadth of offerings that are going to be out there for a bunch of folks."

The full interview with Cammie hasn't been published yet, but we'll let you know when it does. Frankly, we're interested in hearing more from her on these games, because, well, we're as excited for them as you are!

Wii Warm Up: Wii Plan to Speak

Posted Nov 17th 2008 8:00AM by JC Fletcher
Filed under: Wii Warm Up

The WiiSpeak microphone is ten bucks cheaper when purchased with Animal Crossing: City Folk. Obviously, it works with Animal Crossing, but it will also work with The Conduit, with the new version of the Opera browser, and on its own via the Wii Speak Channel. Of course, more compatible games will follow. We hope.

It occurs to us that even people who like Animal Crossing, but don't necessarily care about catching up with their friends while fishing or shaking trees may have interest in the WiiSpeak mic for other stuff. Are you in that group? Did you pick up the Animal Crossing WiiSpeak bundle with no intention of using the two items together?

High Voltage working on other Wii projects, promises announcements soon

Posted Nov 4th 2008 10:52AM by David Hinkle
Filed under: News

During a rather lengthy interview from their concluded Halloween wrap-up party, Eric Nofsinger from High Voltage took a chance to do what he does best: talk about the Wii and The Conduit. High Voltage is one of the most talked about developers in the Wii community, because The Conduit looks to be what everything else on the console isn't: a game for hardcore gamers. But, enough about The Conduit. Would the company work on more Wii titles or, even better, have some currently in development that we don't know about (aside from their upcoming WiiWare game, of course)?

When asked about creating an RPG, Nofsinger said that was "another area that can use a shot in the arm" and that we should all keep our eyes peeled "in the near future" as High Voltage will announce some other games the company already has "in development." One of which, we've all seen by now. But, does he mean retail games? Does it mean it's an RPG? Whatever it is, we want to see it!

"We feel that there are a number of genres that are poorly represented on the Wii for core gamers," he said. "We want to do games that are high quality. You know, that's what we are. I think it's a shame for what is our personal favorite system to be so underrepresented when it comes to core gamers." Amen, brother. Amen.

Rumor: Conduit listed for May release at Gamestop

Posted Nov 3rd 2008 11:49AM by Chris Greenhough
Filed under: Rumors

If the latest Gamestop listing for The Conduit is correct, we may have to spend next summer with our drapes drawn and a ready supply of Cheetos to hand, all to take down the evil Drudge (and you). It's not like you need to see daylight or feel the warm sun on your skin, right?

May 19th is the new release date displayed on the retailer's page, and while High Voltage or Sega are yet to comment on this, it is a couple of months out from High Voltage's original target of March.

Wii Warm Up: Can Sega 'duit?'

Posted Oct 31st 2008 8:00AM by Alisha Karabinus

It seems like it was only a few days before the announcement of The Conduit's publisher that we were talking possibilities. Oh! Probably because we were in fact doing that very thing. Sega came up only one, and it wasn't a positive, hopeful mention, either. How do you feel about it now? Can Sega promote The Conduit appropriately? Will their name push it into the forefront of the industry? And is Sega, with their upcoming titles, setting themselves up to be one of the biggest parts of your Wii library, or no?

It's official: Sega to publish The Conduit [update]

Filed under: News

Update: Oh, and look, the announcement comes with new screens! Check them out in the gallery below.

Turns out the rumor was true! Sega will in fact be publishing The Conduit, due to release on the Wii during spring of 2009. As one of the most highly-anticipated titles for the Wii, this is obviously a smart move for Sega. That is, if the game turns out to be good and, uh, sells a lot.

So ... should we expect a Hogan's Alley-like minigame where we're tasked with shooting Big the Cat?

Rumor: Sega to publish The Conduit

Posted Oct 28th 2008 8:15PM by Chris Greenhough
Filed under: Rumors

Even though we find it strange that High Voltage is reluctant to reveal The Conduit's publisher, one thing is certain: we can't stop talking about it. Maybe this was High Voltage's cunning plan all along: refuse to reveal some incredibly minor, trivial detail about your eagerly anticipated game, and drive bloggers crazy with curiosity. If so, it totally worked with us.

Now, new evidence in this long-running saga suggests Sega will publish the game. Specifically, evidence that ... no longer exists. NeoGAFfers claim to have seen an empty folder named "The Conduit" on Sega of America's press site, only the folder has now been removed. Adding further credibility to the NeoGAF sighting is Nintendo Everything, which screencapped the site before the file was taken down. As usual, no official confirmation means this is classed as rumor for now, but Sega publishing the game seems plausible.

The Conduit presents combat fail

If you woke up this morning thinking, "Man, I just want to watch a bunch of dudes and creatures fall over in a sanitary and blood-free way," you have come to the right place. The video above hardly deserves the name, but it's hilarious and so worth a play. What's fifty seconds, anyway? Especially when you get to watch the bouncing bloodless bodies of The Conduit. Nothing goes with coffee like animated corpses!

Wii Warm Up: The Conduit between High Voltage and stores

Posted Oct 15th 2008 8:00AM by JC Fletcher
Filed under: Wii Warm Up

Let's all lay out our guesses: who's publishing The Conduit? With a cast of voice actors whose names some people may actually know, it seems that High Voltage has come into a bit more money. We assume, then, that their publisher is someone big enough to hire some voice actors.

It's also someone whose name is big enough that spending months holding out in anticipation of a dramatic reveal makes sense. At this point, does anyone here think it's someone other than Nintendo? If so, who and why?

High Voltage enlists Hollywood voice talent for The Conduit

Posted Oct 14th 2008 5:22PM by David Hinkle
Filed under: News

High Voltage just shot over a press release informing us that they've got a couple of notable individuals lending their voice to the upcoming Wii FPS, The Conduit. The voice of the main character. Mr. Ford, will be done by Mark A. Sheppard. Not familiar? He defended Gaius Baltar!

Another Sheppard (father, to be exact) is also in on the project. William Morgan Sheppard will be voicing the character John Adams. William has done plenty of video game voice work before, as well as TV and film.

Third, but certainly not least, is none other than Hercules himself, Kevin Sorbo. He'll be voicing the bad guy/terrorist dude in all of this, Prometheus.

Joystiq goes hands-on with Nintendo's Media Summit line-up

Filed under: Features

The embargo on play sessions has lifted and Joystiq has let loose some write-ups for games that were present at Nintendo's big Media Summit last week. They've spent quality time with The Conduit, Animal Crossing: City Folk and even Call of Duty: World at War, to name a few. So we suggest you hit up this link and get to reading!

Spoil the first level of The Conduit for yourself

IGN has posted footage of the entire opening level of The Conduit, a generous fifteen minutes of action in which hero Mr. Ford takes down enemy marines, shoots up bipedal "Drudge" warriors, and charges down corridors. Then some more corridors. And then even more corridors. Seriously: there's a lot of corridors in this. A lot of conduits, even.

Navigating this entangled web of hallways (go past the break for the second half of the level) culminates in a showdown in front of the Lincoln Memorial, which the naughty Drudge have reportedly "defiled." Oo-er. Being really patriotic and everything, Mr. Ford isn't too pleased about this, and let's them know about it. It all looks very pretty and suitably packed with action. And corridors.

Six of our favorite Media Summit videos

You've already had the chance to examine scores of wonderful screens from new Wii games announced at the Nintendo Media Summit. This new post is dedicated to displaying thousands of more screens (squashed together to create videos) of some of the bigger titles that have been shown at the event.

We settled on placing Nintendo's official Punch-Out!! trailer at the top of this post, but could have easily led with some truly fantastic Sin & Punishment 2 footage, an impressive tech demo of The Conduit, or Yuji Naka's wacky-looking Let's Tap. Instead, all of those (and more) are past the break, and need to be viewed right now. Before you go, though, one final note: if any game released this year has a funkier soundtrack than Let's Tap, we'll be gobsmacked.
