@dib8rman: After posting the post i adressed to you, i thought you were meaning the "fanboy" comment. She's new in the industry and apparently not familiar with the "slang" yet.

@trestres: Well i'm pretty sure that's not the full list. You'll need to understand Nintendos strategy first; Nintendo isn't doing as it expected in Japan, so they announce a few games, so that they can sell systems "in advance". In Americas, the supply have been heavily ramped up, so they propably are doing the same, in order to keep the demand high (while until now, Nintendo's been holding back due to supply issues). In others, Wii already is the best-selling Nintendo home console, exceeding SNES by nearly 50%, so it doesn't need similar promotion to keep things "as is". Nintendo will have other games coming, if you noticed, there wasn't a single strategically important 1st party game (although, S&P2 is debatable).
Wii starts its 3rd year, which basically means, that it's time for the 3rd parties to out games for it, 3rd parties have been a part of Nintendos strategy since the beginning. This isn't the first time Nintendo mentiones Madworld and Conduit in their PR, this is Nintendo sending out a message, that this is what Nintendo wants 3rd parties to do. Right from the release of Wii, Nintendo has said that they're leaving some type of games for 3rd parties to do, which without a doubt, are the "violent" games.
Considering that, it's quite a possibility that Conduit had a little help from Nintendo to get Sega as a publisher and Madworld may as well be "inspired" by Nintendos "lobbying".
This may not make sense at a first glance, but considering financially not-so-well doing Sega is currently playing as a part in Nintendos strategy, it seems likely that "something", along the lines i mentioned, has happened behind closed curtains and that if Conduit and Madworld will be successes, the birdmen will follow.

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.
