Sega “considering” next mature Wii game
Sega is BFF with Wii. At least that’s what one managing director for the company says, after releasing three core titles on Wii (Overkill, MadWorld, and Conduit). “House of the Dead: Overkill was a profitable title for us,” revealed Gary Dunn, MD of European development for Sega, speaking exclusively to GamesIndustry.biz. “Whilst MadWorld commercially didn’t sell what...
Happy Birthday Sonic, How old are you Now?
Has it really been a year already Sonic? Today marks your 18th Birthday, bringing you closer to what would seem like a great opportunity for Sega to release a best of 20th anniversary collection. I know it’s been hard lately, you had a few rough years, but we still beleave in your speed.

Bad news, multiplayer fans: The Conduit plays like you’re walking on honey
Don’t believe the hype. I played The Conduit’s multiplayer mode this week at E3 and was underwhelmed to say the least. I don’t remember the single player mode moving this slow, but multiplayer plays as fast as Mario trudging through thick honey. Keep in mind, I cut my teeth on the ultra fast Unreal Tournament, but The Conduit moves noticeably slower than even Halo. It was a major...

Sega, PlatinumGames discover strange new formula for creating great 3rd party game on the Wii
Is this the beginning, or the end? Has Sega risen from the ashes of its hedgehog-on-human kissing scenes? Has PlatinumGames unlocked the much sought-after “mature third party game that works on the Wii?” Who knows. All I know is that the mags and rags are gushing over MadWorld right now. The art style works. The violence connects. A third party game has clicked. It’s not the firs...
New Conduit trailer looks good.
Told you.
SEGA’s MadWorld doesn’t support 480p
It would seem antithetical for a visually striking Wii game to settle for standard resolution. But according to Matt Casamassina, MadWorld is doing precisely that. The IGN Nintendo editor confirmed in his blog SEGA’s stylish MadWorld does not support 480p on Wii. “It runs in widescreen 480i,” wrote Casamassina. “Not 480p. I confirmed it today, and it’s unfortunate....
Virtua Tennis 2009 confirmed for Wii, might have MotionPlus controls
After being conspicuously absent from Sega’s big reveal earlier this month, a Wii version of Virtua Tennis 2009 was confirmed Saturday for the Wii. It will reportedly feature all the same modes and games as its beefy cousins on the Xbox 360 and PS3, as well as some lighter fare that was probably shoe-horned in at the last second the capitalize on the non-existent, but nevertheless pandered t...
