SEGA “wants to crack core gaming on Wii,” says House of the Dead: Overkill has “performed really well”
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
“I go back to what I said about the entrepreneurial spirit of SEGA. We’re prepared to have a go and try to be innovative, and we want to crack core gaming. We’ve spent a lot of time thinking there must be a way to release mature, more adult content on the Wii format.
House of the Dead performed really well. Was that because it was mature or because it was an arcade title? You might lean towards the SEGA IP and the affiliation with Nintendo, but we matured that up by bringing out House of the Dead Overkill, and made it more of a core game.
At the same time we entered into an exciting partnership with Platinum Games, the first result of which was MadWorld – a fantastic, innovative, original game, no doubt about it.” – SEGA UK managing director John Clark
I certainly admire SEGA’s attempts to bring core gaming experiences to the Wii. And honestly, I thought that if titles such as MadWorld didn’t sell well, the company would stop with support of hardcore titles. That’s obviously not the case though, as SEGA explained that they will be persistent in going after that demographic.

DEWSBURY, ENGLAND – 12th October 2009 – The Code Monkeys, an independent videogame development studio, are proud to announce the arrival of everyone’s favourite cheeky primates on Nintendo WiiWare this autumn with Manic Monkey Mayhem, available through the Wii Shop Channel from October 30th.
Trained in the noble and ancient martial art of Banana Flinging, players control one of eight of these finely honed monkeys as together you do battle with up to seven other simians across eight different themed landscapes. Positioned on a small podium, separated from your opponents via a series of six floating breakable wooden crates which contain power-ups and ammunition, use your zen-like banana flinging skills to chip away at their number of lives by knocking them off their podiums, with the overall aim to be the last one standing and be crowned king or queen of all the monkeys!
