Ow before anyone mentions it... I doubt the wii fanbase will defend this game to be a console seller boosting Halo-Like sales. I'll be more in line with Metroid Prime 3 and CoD WAW meaning that it'll sell to the exisitng userbase slowly.

Back when the Wii was released, Red Steel sold so well because one of the first genres people thought could benefit from the Wiimote was First Person Shooters primarily because of the IR-pointing ... Since then few games/series in the genre have been handled in a way to actually attract customers.

Now, in relation to Call of Duty's performance ... One thing people have to remember is that the number of people who search for reviews on the internet prior to buying a game is actually very small. The most important factors that lead to people buying a game are prior experience with the series, word of mouth and marketing. Call of Duty 3 wasn't a particularly good game and when you factor in those that bought it new (or used), rented it, borrowed it from a friend, or stole it there are Millions of people out there who (potentially) have a lot of bad experiences with Call of Duty games on the Wii ... when you also add that the best game in the series (Call of Duty 4) didn't even get a third rate port to the Wii, and the marketing for the Wii version made it look like a light gun game, Activision has really screwed up with the Wii version which has probably cost them tens of millions of dollars.

Personally, I don't think anyone but Wii owners should care about the Conduit. But any Wii owner who enjoys FPS should pay Conduit special note because it looks very promising.

By the same token there's no reason for anyone but PS3 owners to care about Killzone 2 or 360 owners to care about Halo 3. Neither does anything to push the boundries of FPSs and are both very good but otherwise generic FPS for their systems. The same complaint that's been leveled at Conduit.

The only reason for non-Wii owners to care at all, is because HVS is doing some novel stuff like an insane amount of customization and the ASE. And yes proof of Wii controls but since they don't have a Wii what do they care?

Hmmm, my bad...  It sure didn't seem like it was released at the same time.  At least it wasn't pushed for preorder in any of the stores like PS3 and 360 versions were.

They won't. The Conduit is appealing to Wii owners because they haven't had a proper FPS built around the Wii's strengths yet. They have COD:WaW (watered down port) and MoH:Heroes 2(PSP port) for online enabled FPS games. Clearly any developer, however spotty their track record may be, who promises to take the Wii seriously is going to garner support amidst companies who give the Wii second-rate games at best.

Well while I guess that Wii controls are the only console controls that can be considered good by PC FPS gamer I'd be seriously hating Quake 3 era 480p style graphics on this. Now if this was on Wii HD that actually could be first console FPS I'd buy.

Of course; It's got all the ingredients for a generic FPS: Aliens, pro-american to the point of absurdity style, guns, and more guns. The retards (the frat-core) will eat it up.

What is "fratcore"? People who like shooters like halo?

Idk the game looks alright nothing amazing to me...BUT for a Wii game it looks pretty good not only that but if it does well alot of developers might start to make Wii FPS shooters...I really like the customizable HUD's and all that...Thats pretty cool and a first for me...I never seen that implemented in any other game

I have a Wii and a high end gaming PC. I'm still excited for The Conduit because of the immersive gameplay despite the fact I can play loads of AAA FPS's with incredible graphics and control already.
