High Voltage Software's Wii-exclusive first-person shooter sequel delayed, Classic Controller support to be included.
Between Call of Duty: Black Ops, GoldenEye 007, and The Conduit 2, this coming holiday season was shaping up to be a busy one for Wii-owning first-person shooter fans. However, Sega is leaving it to one of Activision's titles to claim the system's FPS sales crown this holiday season, as High Voltage Software's The Conduit 2 has been pushed to next year. Sega confirmed for GameSpot today that it "is looking into" a first-quarter 2011 release for the title.
High Voltage won't be discharging The Conduit 2 until early next year.

The delay was originally reported by console-specific site Nintendojo, which also reported new control options for the sequel. Gamers who don't enjoy motion controls in their first-person shooters will be able to use both the Classic Controller and Classic Controller Pro with The Conduit 2. High Voltage had previously confirmed support for the Wii MotionPlus peripheral as well.

The single-player mode of The Conduit 2 will pick up the original game's alien invasion storyline, with Sega promising dynamic environments, player customization options, and giant boss enemies. As for multiplayer, Sega will introduce new co-op modes for online play, or offline with up to four players sharing a split-screen. The publisher is also promising "increased multiplayer security" for the game, in light of the cheating that undermined the online play of the original game.

Don't really care that much for Conduit 2, played the first one, besides the ball thingy used to solve puzzles and the amazing controls and really good graphics for a Wii title, the game was generic as hell and the gameplay quickly got very boring. Unless they drastically change the 2nd game, i'm not that interested.

Yes it is a generic shooter. They are uninteresting on other consoles; same rule applies here.

[Chibi Kitsune]

maybe, maybe not, there's a lot of failed shooter on the 360 and PS3.

you just don't here about them because...they failed...on consoles where well over half the user base has 2 or more FPS games.

Sega narrows launch window on High Voltage Software's Wii-exclusive first-person shooter sequel, cites fan feedback as reason for prior delay.

Last month, Sega confirmed a delay of the Wii-exclusive first-person shooter Conduit 2, saying only that it was now "looking into" a first quarter 2011 launch. Today, the publisher narrowed that release window to February 2011 and offered an explanation for the previous delay.


Gamers might be able to celebrate Valentine's Day with a few rounds of Conduit 2.
"With the overwhelming positive response at both E3 and PAX, High Voltage Software came up with new ideas and took in fan feedback," Sega said in announcing the launch month. "Because of this, the game is extending its development a few more months in order to bring players the most complete shooter on Wii."

The single-player mode of The Conduit 2 will pick up the original game's alien invasion storyline, with Sega promising dynamic environments, player customization options, and giant boss enemies. As for multiplayer, Sega will introduce new co-op modes for online play or offline with up to four players sharing a split-screen. The publisher is also promising "increased multiplayer security" for the game, in light of the cheating that undermined the online play of the original Conduit.

Sega's Wii-exclusive first-person shooter sequel delayed once again; developer High Voltage given extra time to balance multiplayer.

Sega's Conduit 2 has been delayed again. The Wii-exclusive first-person shooter received its fifth release window today, as the publisher pegged it with an April 19 launch date.


Sega is nearly ready to Conduit 2 it.
According to Sega, the slip will give the development team at High Voltage Software more time "to continue to balance and enhance the game's multiplayer." Sega had said one of the previous delays to the game was intended to give High Voltage time to incorporate fan feedback from showings at the Penny Arcade Expo and Electronic Entertainment Expo. Conduit 2 was originally announced with a fall 2010 window, was pushed into 2011, narrowed down as a February release, and then slid to March 22.

The single-player mode of Conduit 2 will pick up the original game's alien invasion storyline, with Sega promising dynamic environments, player customization options, and giant boss enemies. As for multiplayer, Sega will introduce new co-op modes for online play, or offline with up to four players sharing a split-screen. The publisher is also promising "increased multiplayer security" for the game, in light of the cheating that undermined the online play of the original game.

FYI this game was released this week, and no one is talking about it.... Another "core" wii title doomed to failure

It's hard to care about a crap FPS on an HD console, never mind Wii.

Besides, Portal 2 came out this week.

Thom has a point, this would've bombed on possibly any system.

ask anyone who loves shooters and some of them are still debating on which of major FPS titles should they buy next (seeing as people aren't made of money). This game isn't on your rador unless you were a fan of the 1st, or you only own a wii and loves games with number behind them.

[PirateThom]

If you only have a Wii, I can't believe I'm saying this, any of the CoD games would be a better choice.
