@lordtheknight  well for the sake of the fans I hope FPS gamers can peel themselves away from their HD and PC platforms to give the games on Wii a fighting chance. I know I will

Well that's what I'm hoping from Goldeneye. Should this succeed, any following FPS would be helped, such as Conduit 2.

I was really hopeful for both titles until I actually played them.

GoldenEye was fairly decent however the maps availible at E3 were not classics. I asked the developer why in a remake we weren't playing classic levels. He told me that GoldenEye is actually not a remake rather a re-invisioning. He said their would be a large amount of new content and changes to old content. My heart dropped as I know we all wanted a remake not a re-invisioning. So I'm not sure the game will sell once people find out its not a direct remake. Though I've gotta say it was still pretty fun.

Conduit 2, The demo I played was glitchy as heck so bad that I don't think I could go 20-seconds without another glitch. That being said the developer told me that all the bugs had been worked out and I was playing the E3 demo. Even though he re-assured me the glitches have been fixed it still didn't appear to offer anything unique. It looked better visually then the origional Conduit but I will probubly pass this one and most likely many others will too.

I think developers have doomed the Wii for the FPS genre, by not offering consumers any quality products the FPS user base has all but abandoned the Wii.

There were legal reasons they couldn't use the old maps from Goldeneye. Yes, that is diappointing, but it also means this game will stand up on its own, not rely on nostalgia.

Conduit 2 doesn't have to be unique, just good. It's not as though FPS is a genre known for innovation. The last big one was Modern Warfare... and even that wasn't the first series to make the leap out of WWII, just the first to get attention for it. Oh, and Conduit 2 doesn't have to sell to Conduit 1 players, just the greater amount who didn't buy it.
