Wii News \ The Conduit Was Originally Meant For Casual Market

The Conduit an upcoming game from High Voltage Studios is one of the most anticipated FPS Games for the Nintendo Wii.

However this game wasn't at first intended for the hardcore market but rather the casual market which has been revealed by Micah Skaritka from High Voltage who said "The whole idea for the game was for the casual market. But as we went on, we realized that there weren’t any first-person shooters on the market with good graphics on the Wii. I think a lot of developers that make FPSs on the Wii say, ‘let’s do this so [the player] can use the Wii shooter’ And it doesn’t work. You lose half your control."

He then also revealed that Nintendo were actually impressed with what they were doing with The Conduit.

So if Nintendo are impressed with the game does that mean we should be to if not already?

The Conduit will be released sometime in 2009.

DaBomb12 said: wat about metroid 3 thats a awsome shooter with awsome graphics



Agreed. But while the 360 has like 50 good shooters, Metroid 3 and RE4 (a port) is all we got. Definitely cant wait for Conduit, especially after IGN and others got their hands on the playable demo and were extremely impressed.

I want it now!!!

but yeah, we do need more hardcore wii games, i dont think thre is any



2009 is only about 4 months away lol



And that's assuming it's 1stQ 2009

Not surprising though, I suspect the WiiSpeak inclusion announcement was made before they got the required SDKs



Yea well I believe Nintendo actually told them about it before developers and I suspect that Nintendo Will be the publishers coz Nintendo let High Voltage show off The Conduit in Nintendo's PAX Stall thing.
