Conduit 2, a game that's actually been in development for the Wii instead of talking about it, got a reminder of the pecking order for Nintendo shooters when Sega moved it to 2011 to stay out of GoldenEye's way. More »
November 2 was going to mark the release of not one, but two high-profile first person shooters on Wii: Conduit 2 and GoldenEye. It looks like Sega and High Voltage are taking a step back, telling Nintendojo that the Conduit sequel has been pushed back to Q1 2011.
There's no specified reason for the delay, but it's likely that Q1 offered a better release window for the Wii shooter. Sega famously released Resonance of Fate one week after Final Fantasy XIII. Presumably, Sega would want a better fate for Conduit 2.

Well, isn't this timely. The Conduit 2 begins with uncontrollable calamity out at sea on an oil rig. A coincidence, says High Voltage Software, but isn't that what their shadow government would want you to think? More »
* Mr Ford uses a wrench as a melee weapon to begin with
* artificial intelligence is a focus in Conduit 2. AI characters now feel different from each other; they will possess different weapons from each other, and how they behave will depend on which weapon they [...]
