The Conduit developer High Voltage Software confirms booth at E3 2009, plans to unveil new IP
Hoffman Estates, IL – May 15, 2009 – High Voltage Software, Inc., the independent developer behind the upcoming Wii first-person shooter The Conduit, today announced that it will host a booth at next month’s Electronics Entertainment Expo (E3), where visitors will have a chance to play the studio’s latest title. The company has chosen E3 as the venue to debut a previously unannounced IP behind closed doors to select media representatives.
“2009 is already shaping up to be a groundbreaking year for this studio,” said Kerry J. Ganofsky, CEO and founder of High Voltage Software. “The release of The Conduit is just around the corner and there is more to come. We feel that E3 is the perfect opportunity to show off our hard work and give a taste of our very latest project.”
“Technically, sure. I’m not confirming anything though, just to be clear.” – Christian Svensson
Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development
I don’t think we’ll be seeing Phoenix Wright on Wii anytime soon, but it’s nice to know that the door isn’t completely shut on the idea.
“We have only now been able to get the Wii in stock on a regular basis. Our focus is how do we keep bringing great software experiences to the consumer on a system that is outselling all of its competitors.” – Reggie Fils-Aime
It would be pretty silly for Nintendo to discuss “Wii 2” right now. The company definitely has some ideas for their next console…You can be sure of that. But, there simply is no reason why Nintendo would begin discussing a successor at the present time.

A rumor is abound that in an issue of Nintendo Power, there is a confirmation that Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is heading to North America. Now, I have the issue right in front of me, and nowhere in the game index is there even a mention of the title. It’s possible that a portion of the upcoming edition of the magazine was leaked, but for now, be wary of the speculation. Capcom’s Christian Svensson did say, however, that some news regarding the title may be released in the coming weeks.
