Joshua Olson, producer of The Conduit on how SEGA/High Voltage feel about the reception of the game…

“Sega was very pleased, and we were very pleased. Like I said, with an original IP introduced into a market that is down, sales have been very good, so we’re very happy.”

Olson on whether High Voltage intends to enhance the art/character design if there was a sequel to The Conduit…

“I think that’s a very fair criticism. Looking at The Conduit, you’re not really sure that you’re in the world of The Conduit. Like you said, it’s kind of generic. You could be anywhere. I think that was driven a lot by our push to make The Conduit in D.C. in realistic-looking environments, we wanted to make the graphics look as real as possible. But on the flipside of that, it tended to make it look a little generic, a bit mundane. If you’re playing Halo, or look at a screenshot, you know you’re in Halo. I don’t think that’s the case with The Conduit. It’s a very valid criticism that we took to heart and we’re hoping to address in future games.”

This information comes from the Official Nintendo Magazine Twitter, providing live updates from the BAFTAs…

“ONM is at the BAFTAs! Miyamoto just told us Pikmin 3 development is ‘well under way.'”

This isn’t the biggest news, but that’s all I really needed to hear! We haven’t heard much about the game since last year, when Miyamoto said that the team had finished the basics of Pikmin 3. I wonder if we’ll see the title in a few months at E3.

“There’s tremendous support for Wii MotionPlus. First, what it would highlight is that ‘Wii Sports Resort’ continues to sell exceptionally well. In addition to that you’re seeing some fantastic third party support. ‘Red Steel 2’…about to come out. And from a first party perspective we showed ‘Fling Smash.’ There are more titles that are coming, it continues to be a core part of what we do. But I guess what’s unique with Nintendo is we don’t force our developers to stick to a particular type of control scheme, and you’ve seen that. Everything from the new ‘Metroid’ title to be single remote driven to ‘Fling Smash’ utilizing the Wii MotionPlus. So it’s all about what’s right for the game.” – Reggie Fils-Aime

There haven’t been a ton of games released that use MotionPlus, but then again, not a whole lot of titles have needed it. If a game works well with just the Wiimote, then it’d be silly to add MotionPlus support. We know of one big game coming out this month that uses it, though – Red Steel 2. That game is seeing a huge improvement in accuracy thanks to the peripheral.
