Did you know that NST (Wave Race: Blue Storm, Metroid Prime: Hunters) were once working on a motorcycle title for Wii? A patent discovered in the USPTO provides some insight about what the game could have been.

In terms of controls, players would have stood on the Wii Balance Board and made use of the Wii remote and nunchuck, which would act as virtual handlebars. To turn right or left, the Wiimote would simply need to be turned in the desired direction. Players could also pull the Wii controller backwards or forwards to accelerate the bike or put it in reverse. Sharp turns could be performed by learning left or right on the Wii Balance Board – this would have been optional, however.

Gameplay elements shown in the patent include ramps and jumps, a potential Wiimote-only control setup, and balancing air time to maintain velocity.

The status of this mystery title is unknown currently. I have a feeling that it’s been cancelled, though, based on the fact that Project H.A.M.M.E.R. and Wii Crush never saw the light of day.

Over the past few months, Famitsu has featured a few Wii games in every issue, though that number has been very small for the most part. I found it interesting that, apparently, this week’s edition does not cover any titles for the console – not even anything from Nintendo. I know this isn’t the biggest news in the world, but it is a shame that the situation with the Wii has been very quiet lately. I’m hoping we’ll hear something about Pandora’s Tower soon…

Wondering why Nintendo Power scored Conduit 2 a 7.5? A few points from the magazine’s review have been extracted, which you can read up on below.

– Mr. Ford/Prometheus relationship compared to Michael Knight and KITT from Knight Rider
– Ford’s voice acting isn’t great
– Ford’s delivery makes one-liners feel extracheesy
– Solid gameplay
– There are some great moments, such as the ending
– Reviewer would have liked the set pieces to be as thrilling as the ones in recent Wii first-person shooters
– Worth playing for the multiplayer
– Has some issues, but the team did take criticisms from the first title into account

It does seem as though the heart of the review didn’t focus on multiplayer. Nintendo Power didn’t have anything negative to say about that aspect, so I suppose that’s good thing.

Thanks to Jake for the tip!

Following a few delays, Conduit 2 will finally be hitting store shelves next month. Wondering how the game turned out? Well, it seems as though Nintendo Power enjoyed it… somewhat. The magazine awarded Conduit 2 a 7.5, which actually a half point lower than their rating for the original. Fans were probably expecting a higher score given the amount of time spent on the project as well as numerous improvements touted by the developer.

The review mentions that a better campaign would have benefited the title and moments that should be great – such as the Leviathan boss battle – simply aren’t. Multiplayer facts are also mentioned, but apparently weren’t criticized.

We’ll bring you more details from the review as soon as they become available.

Thanks to Jake for the tip!
