Graphics in The Conduit “just the tip of the iceberg”
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 3 Comments
“This is just the tip of the iceberg, there are new graphical technologies we’ve already developed that came along too late to include in The Conduit.” – Matt Corso, High Voltage Software
What we’ve seen thus far in Super Mario Galaxy and The Conduit have already impressed me, but this is really great news for Wii owners searching for games with more higher-quality graphical effects. If more can be squeezed out of the system, there will probably be less complaint’s about how titles look – that is, if developers take advantage of everything the system has to offer.

Wii storage solution causes sales of Strongbad games to double
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
An official notice from Telltale Games puts to rest any doubt that gamers were holding back on purchasing WiiWare/VC titles due to a lack of space. The company claims that sales of the Strong Bad series have doubled since the Wii storage solution was released.
SAN RAFAEL, April 9, 2009 – Telltale has announced that WiiWare™ sales of Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People, the first monthly episodic series on a console, have more than doubled since Nintendo’s new storage solution was unveiled at the Game Developer’s Conference in March. The Strong Bad series began releasing episodically on WiiWare in August 2008.
“Nintendo’s new solution really opens the door for players to add to their collection of downloadable games, which is critical for a series with multiple installments,” says Telltale CEO Dan Connors. “This is a major step forward for episodic gaming. We’re looking forward to even greater success on WiiWare with Strong Bad, as well as other projects.”
