@Stof: True. But in a way, Conduit may have a lot to prove. A tide turning title is a little (much) exaggarated, but if it turns out to be a success, it propably gets more Wii-specific FPS titles to follow.

@yushire: Maybe we don't have that much Wii owning FPS fans here? Personally i don't care much about FPS:s, but it doesn't mean i would necessarily skip a good one. I have very little interest to CoD:WaW or QoS or MoH:H2, since they are gimped ports anyway, but much higher interest to Conduit and Redsteel 2, since they have a lot bigger potential of being good due to being made ground-up for Wii.
As for why not getting shooters earlier; I still need to buy Disaster, Wii Music, Super Paper Mario, No More Heroes, Eledees, Zack&Wiki, a number of WiiWare and Virtual Console titles, (to name a few) and even Animal Crossing comes before the gimped down shooters. If i make a guess, that Wii (only) owners in general aren't shooter fans, i believe i'm not that far off. We have a lot of time to wait for a shooter we see worth getting.

Wii core owners always crave for FPS even what its worth. Thats why they always bite gimped ports as long as it have decent gameplay. To tell it frankly, Im glad theres a game like QoS and COD WAW even we knew its just a gimped port of HD console versions. Atleast you dont need to empty a whole clip to make your opponent dead. And with COD WAW and QoS growing userbase  on the Wii I think this will be a wake up call for Activision to step up and realized that theres a audience for these kind of games on the Wii.

About Red Steel 2, its like Final Fantasy Crystal bearers we just dont know when will they released this or will released this at all...

And about The Conduit, it doesnt mean I dont like The Conduit but as for me, its not really that special. There are more games I want to buy than The Conduit. I dont even bought Sonic Unleashed or Tomb raider Underground yet... BTW theres already a patch for the lever glitch on Thailand. For me, I really dont trust the hype, anyone remember the hype sorrounding Star Wars FU? All versions? What if its the same as The Conduit?
