Yoshio Sakamoto on Samus being a woman…
“Samus being a woman wasn’t really decided from the beginning. She had no sex at that moment. Someone said it could be a surprise for the player to discover Samus was a woman at the end of the adventure. In some way, I was going to ‘have a girl’ completely by chance.”
This information comes from High Voltage’s Keith Hladik…
“We’re committed to the Wii for Conduit 2. We like the platform and we like the controls. Our main focus at this point is delivering a kick-ass sequel. Where we go beyond that is still something to be figured out — we like what we’ve created in the series and would love to continue telling more stories in the Conduit universe. In regards to the 3DS, I was absolutely blown away by it at E3. It’s something special and I know that there is a lot of interest in it here at the company. We’ll see what happens.”
There’s no question that High Voltage is seriously interested in the 3DS. I’m just not sure about putting Conduit on the handheld. I feel like the series is better suited for consoles. Personally, I’d like to see the company try something completely new on the 3DS.
