I’m not sure I’ve heard anyone say that we’re pleased with its sales [Zack and Wiki] and alas, I can’t really comment on the prospects of a sequel. I think there was a lot learned from the title though. – Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development

Wondering if the Virtual Console will ever house classic Capcom titles such as DuckTales? Sadly, the chances are pretty slim. Capcom’s Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development Christian Svensson has given the news that licensing issues are preventing the releases of Capcom-developed games such as DuckTales, TaleSpin, Darkwing Duck. “Licensing issues abound. I think you’d be hard pressed to see them show up, but you never know.”

“Anything that comes out on WiiWare is going to sell a huge amount because it’s a WiiWare title, but comparably both of them are selling really well. We’re really happy with the numbers for both. The Wii just has a much bigger audience.” – Emily Morganti, PR for Telltale
Publisher announcement for The Conduit coming soon
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
“We’re not ready to officially announce anything, but things are in the works. Look for the word in the coming month. We’re going to ship with a full single player campaign and both offline and online multiplayer. We’re also working with Nintendo now on getting LAN play working [via system link].” – Rob Nicholls, The Conduit game designer
It was definitely smart for High Voltage to wait to work out a deal with a publisher. As has been said in the past, the company did not want to have a publisher interfere with the development process. If High Voltage pursued a publisher sooner, The Conduit could have turned out as a very different product.
