With high-quality titles such as The Conduit, MadWorld, and House of the Dead: Overkill, there’s no doubt that SEGA is one of the standout third-party publishers on the Wii. The company has provided the system with undeniable support. SEGA of America President Simon Jeffrey is claiming, however, that SEGA was the first third-party publisher to believe in the Wii.

“Sega was the first third-party publisher to believe in the Wii. (We) tap into the same market that Nintendo opened. We understood Nintendo’s premise of attracting casual gamers. [We estimate that] 70 to 80 percent of Wii owners are young males, and there hasn’t been much fodder for them on the Wii.” – SEGA of America President Simon Jeffery

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – Mar. 10, 2009 – Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today announced that Yu-Gi-Oh!™ 5D’s Wheelie Breakers for the Nintendo Wii™ and Yu-Gi-Oh!™ 5D’s Stardust Accelerator: World Championship 2009 for the Nintendo DS™ are currently in development and set to launch in May 2009. The latest iterations in the popular franchise are based on the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s series on the 4Kids Network, which takes place in the future and features Yusei Fudo and Jack Atlus, the hottest duelists in Neo Domino City.

Based on “Riding Duel” in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s animated series, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s Wheelie Breakers introduces players to a fast-paced twist on a racing game. Yusei and Jack duel in a new motor sport called “Wheelie Breakers” that combines card dueling with duel wheel racing. As they race around the track in their Duel Runner motorcycles, players call upon monsters from their decks to battle their opponents and prevent them from finishing the race.

Update: I noted that Rockstar was the company involved in this quote, but Take-Two actually said the words (Rockstar is under Take-Two control though). My apologies!

Even though the Wii and DS have seen a few mature titles, there hasn’t exactly been a wide array of content to choose from. Rockstar is providing the DS with M-rated content in GTA: Chinatown Wars and SEGA recently released the ultra-violent MadWorld. Other than that though, there hasn’t been much to choose from. However, according to company chairman Strauss Zelnick, Take-Two “is the right company” for mature games on both the Wii and DS.

“I do believe there is an opportunity for M-rated titles on Nintendo — on the DS and on the Wii. I believe we’re the right company to be delivering that content.”

The latest OFLC updates have brought on the discovery of an interesting goodie – Rock n’ Roll Climber. The game’s rating popped up today and shows that, interestingly, Nintendo is the publisher. The “Climber” in “Rock n’ Roll Climber” may also ring a bell with old-school gamers for those who have played Ice Climbers.

It’s not exactly clear right now what this game is about, but again, the name does have some people buzzing. Vitei is supposedly at the helm of the project and has worked on titles such as 1080 Snowboarding.
