Admittedly, there is a lack of hardcore games on the Wii. SEGA, however, will partially fix that with MadWorld, The Conduit, and House of the Dead: Overkill. In a recent interview, SEGA expressed sentiments that with the amount of family friendly titles on the Wii, there is an opportunity for hardcore gaming to expand on Nintendo’s system.

“There have been some good hardcore Wii titles. Resident Evil 4 has done reasonable numbers; Red Steel has also performed really well. But since then, many publishers have migrated towards the more mass-market family titles, so perhaps there hasn’t been the array or depth of hardcore titles on Wii.” – Sega Europe North MD Alan Pritchard

“More family friendly titles are being released on PlayStation and 360 as this is a growth area for these formats. Maybe with Wii there’s a reverse opportunity.” – UK sales director John Clark

A few rumors regarding Factor 5 and Silicon Knights have popped up, mostly related to the Wii. First off, in spite of the well-known issues Factor 5 has been facing, apparently all projects are still being worked on. Additionally, an announcement is expected from the company in the next two weeks. Will we finally hear word on Kid Icarus?

Also noteworthy is Silicon Knights interest in the Nintendo’s console. Though nothing has been confirmed outright, the latest rumors state that the company might be creating a Wii game. Silicon Knights has expressed openness to the system before, and has had experience with a Nintendo system before (GameCube, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes/Eternal Darkness).

Lastly, there has been some talk about Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop and the zombie count yet again. Concerns about the number of zombies has been well-documented, but apparently there will be a sufficient amount. This statement is quite similar to what Nintendo Power said in a previous issue.
