Technically speaking, most would argue that The Conduit is one of the Wii’s most impressive games. While many third-parties have not considered putting in a ton of effort into their titles or simply claimed the Wii was underpowered, High Voltage chose to create their own engine and worked around some of the system’s limitations. Now that all is said and done, the company is speaking out on the Wii’s behalf. According to Rob Nicholls, Lead Game Designer at HVS, the company is “showing that it was underestimated.”

“We wanted to make the game for the Wii that we just weren’t seeing out on the shelves. The motion controls of the Wii are perfect for FPS games, yet really good shooters on the Wii were few and far between. Also, the graphics we saw on the Wii were much less than what we knew was possible. Developers and publishers kept saying the Wii was underpowered. We’re showing that it was underestimated.”
