The following info comes from an interview with Eric Nofsinger, who was asked about the poster with a “2” on it we posted about earlier:

“We’re very excited about it, the first one was great, but this is something much better.”

If that’s not confirmation, I don’t know what is!

Just so everyone knows, this is pure speculation as of now, but you have to admit it’s pretty suspicious when I developer won’t even comment on whether a game is still in development or not. The following comes from a Kotaku article…

What’s less assuring is the fate of the Wii game. Dolan declined to comment on the status of that version, even when I pressed him to clarify whether it is or isn’t still in development. He stuck to discussing the version we could play at GDC, saying it was High Voltage’s best bet to expand into developing for next-gen consoles.

I don’t know… Something just feels very off about The Grinder these days!

At GDC, High Voltage Software’s main highlights were The Grinder and Tournament of Legends. But there was something in particular that caught the eyes of a G4TV employee. In High Voltage’s demo room, there was a poster on one of the walls that had text that looked like the same font used in The Conduit. When asked if the company was teasing a Conduit sequel, a designer from HVS only said “There’s more to come on that!” So it’s possible that that The Conduit 2 is real, but no one is ready to talk about it just yet.

At the Game Developer’s Conference last week, Metroid: Other M producer Yoshio Sakamoto gave a lecture and discussed the development of titles such as Tomodachi Collection and WarioWare: D.I.Y. But the topic that received the most attention was Sakamoto’s remark about Other M being on-rails at one point. His comment quickly caused a stir among Metroid fans, even though many of them hadn’t realized that Sakamoto was simply interpreted.

IGN’s Craig Harris had a chance to catch up with the cocreator of Metroid after his lecture and asked him about the idea of Other M being on-rails. Harris, roughly quoting Sakamoto, explained on the latest Nintendo Voice Chat podcast that “you can move back and forth within this area, but the camera would just follow along in the 3D world.” In other words, the game would have played similarly to Klonoa.

“…I asked him about the idea of being on-rails and how long into development did it change, and he was like, ‘Oh, I think people misinterpreted what I meant by on-rails. I meant that you can move back and forth within this area, but the camera would just follow along in the 3D world.’ And then I said, ‘Well, I didn’t misinterpret it. At least in my interpretation of what you were saying was a game like Klonoa, where you can move to the right or to the left and the camera would follow around dynamically, but you couldn’t hop off this rail that you were going on…’ It’s a side-scrolling game, but just done with a camera and 3D elements…It’s a fixed path. And when I brought up Klonoa, he was like, ‘Oh, yup, exactly, that’s exactly what I meant.’ And so that was pretty cool…”

“I’ve talked to people about it. I, personally, have not played ‘Zelda.’ I’ve played more of our content that’s closer in and that we’ve already announced. I look forward to my next trip to Kyoto to get my own hands on it.” – Reggie Fils-Aime

We were supposed to find out if Reggie has played Zelda Wii not on GameTrailers TV, but that question was never answered. Although, now it is clear Reggie hasn’t played it. I’m sure he’ll get a chance to before E3.
