The Conduit is shaping up to be the total third-party Wii package. The graphics, gameplay, and controls are all nailed down. Oh, and don’t forget online play. High Voltage Software is doing its best to deliver the best online experience, but is also interested in adding LAN play in the game. Speaking with 4 color rebellion, High Voltage Software’s Eric Nofsinger explained, “Our plan is to deliver a solid multiplayer experience both online and LAN.” You might also be interested in knowing that The Conduit was influenced by the likes of Halo and Golden Eye – two very huge and revered games!

“Well it’s funny, I was at LucasArts a lot during E3 and it was the forefront of what we were talking about. I mean obviously this year we can’t, since the device isn’t coming out yet, and Force and Clone are both hitting by thanksgiving, so that’s out of the question. With the other stuff we’re working on now though, we’re definitely looking to incorporate it, so… I think next year it’s going to be really, really cool. You’re right though. The 1:1 control is on everybody’s lips now, and yeah, not this year, but for next year we’re definitely working on something. I’ll leave it at that.”

“Well… We’re doing at least two more Wii titles for next year; maybe three. You know, we did Spyro already on Wii, we’ve got Force as our second one, and Clone as number three, so we’ve actually done three this year as well. It’s a great console, it has performed really well in the marketplace, and Nintendo has created a device that people really want to play. They didn’t necessarily go after “bigger and better” in every way – the power of the system, for example – but they made something people want to play, and it’s paying off.”

– Robert Walsh, Krome CEO

Down the line, I’m sure Krome (or at least a different company), will attempt for 1:1 controlling options for Star Wars titles. Meanwhile, Clone Wars and The Force Unleashed seem like two very respectable titles.

Bionic Commando Rearmed recently released on the PSN, PC, and XBLA, but the prospect of a WiiWare – or even Wii retail – version edition was never truly discussed. However, Capcom’s Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development was approached with a question regarding a possible Wii disc release and provided a lucid answer. “No plans at this time. Sorry.”

Nothing is ruled out for the future, it seems. Nonetheless, it’s worth noting that Bionic Commando Rearmed is a spectacular game; Moreover, it would be a wise purchase on XBLA, PC, or PSN.

The newest iteration in the Harry Potter series was set to debut on all major video game platforms this Fall, but Warner Bros. announced yesterday that the movie would be pushed back – all the way to next summer, in fact. Now EA is faced with a predicament: Should they delay the release of the games to coincide with the launch of the movie, or should the company stay on schedule and release it this November? EA is obviously struggling with the decision and can be seen through the words of one of the company’s representatives. “We are making a great game that Harry Potter fans will really enjoy — we are evaluating the impact of the movie date change.” Usually, video game movie titles are released before the movie counterparts, but never this far in advance. Eleven or so months might be pushing things!
