More alleged details of The Conduit’s multiplayer functionality have been revealed at this year’s New York Comic Con. Apparently, Eric Nofsinger of High Voltage stated that the game will have a lobby system. Thanks to the lobby system, friends will be able to hook up their Wii Speak accessories and talk with each other. At the same time, gamers can continue to search for a battle with random people, whether it is local or worldwide play.

Nofsinger also said that the game will have 18 weapons and hinted at about ten maps (though he did not confirm this completely).

– Game has been in development for over 14 months
– On quality of Wii titles – High Voltage CEO and Founder, Kerry Ganofsky: “Everyone’s aware that a lot of the Wii product that’s been moved over is an afterthought. There’s the front line PS3/360 and then there’s a Wii port if you will or as publishers like to call them, ‘port pluses’. What we set out to do is actually create technology from the ground up and create a product from the ground up that’s Wii specific. We took the opposite approach and I think everything you’re seeing here shows it.”
– HV has talented engineers, have “rung out every ounce of power that they can” and Ganofsky believes “there’s still room from improvement”
– The Conduit appeals to the hardcore demographic but controls make it accessible to average Wii owner
– On The Conduit going over to the 360/PS3 – Ganofsky: “I wouldn’t rule anything out. There’s definitely a market there. There’s been companies doing PS3/360 shooters several revs deep now. There’s a time and a place for everything. If Nintendo, Sega and High Voltage come to an understanding, I think The Conduit could become the Halo for the Wii.”
