Conduit 2 delayed to Q1 2011, will support the Classic Controller

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 4 Comments

Even though Conduit 2 was on track to be released on November 2, coverage of the game has been rather light recently. Perhaps we know the reason for that now. SEGA and High Voltage Software have quietly confirmed that Conduit 2 has been pushed back to 2011. The two companies also revealed that the title will support the Classic Controller/Classic Controller Pro when it arrives in the first quarter of next year.

– Ctombine Color abilities to find secrets
– Same speed in co-op as in single-player
– Pulley systems require both players to air dash into each other over and over to move upward
– Covert battles to collect more rings than the other player
– Some sections encourage/require cooperative use of powers such as the laser or drill abilities

– Other combinations as well

Activision explains why they’re putting GoldenEye 007 on Wii

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 3 Comments

This information comes from Julian Widdows, Executive Producer at Activision Blizzard UK…

“Because the console and its audience deserves a cutting edge shooter, because Eurocom and ATVI have something to prove — that Nintendo’s machine is underestimated in terms of its ability to deliver serious, credible, mature experiences — and because it feels so natural to bring GoldenEye home to Nintendo.”

The Wii has some decent shooters available, but I wouldn’t say there are a whole lot of games to choose from if you’re looking for a high-quality product. It’s great to hear that Activision has such strong a passion to deliver an enjoyable experience for Nintendo’s console and that they believe GoldenEye is a perfect match for the Wii.
