You might be current on High Voltage Software's The Grinder, but just in case, here's a quick primer. The title was announced as a Wii-exclusive online-cooperative first-person shooter similar to Left 4 Dead. Then the studio went quiet for a year. When Grinder resurfaced, it was for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 -- as a top-down action title inspired by the developer's Hunter: The Reckoning series.
Some fans suspected that the Wii version got the axe in the interim, but that's not at all the case. In fact, High Voltage wants to ship Grinder for Nintendo's console as a first-person shooter.
We sit down with Eric Nofsinger and talk The Conduit, The Grinder, and much more in this exclusive interview.
Had such high hopes for the game. It makes more sense now than ever, especially in the digital marketplace.
Normally, the end of the year is a slow time for game releases. Everyone who’s anyone has already launched during the holiday season, and the stragglers don’t seem to get much attention. Then again, all those folks that picked up new consoles for Christmas need something to play, so maybe there’s some cleverness in a last-week release.
Who knows? Either way, these games are coming out just before the clock rolls over to 2013.
oh type 0, maybe one day i'll be able to play you in english. <3 the demo was so awesome. maybe once SE is done with their obsession with lightning we might finally get you, if is psp or vita port idc, JUST COME OVAH HERE!
I also downloaded and played the demo and it was so good. So good that I wish I never bothered downloading it in the first place because now I know how much of a good thing I am missing.
I can't find any US release for any of these on amazon or gamestop...I assumed they were for US because they all had ESRB ratings except for the iOS games.
Type-0 is listed as canceled on gamefaqs as well, and was released in October in Japan. POssession and the Humans is also listed as canceled. Author game is cancelled in the US it looks like. The Grinder is cancelled for Wii, and TBA for 360. Unchained blades looks to be a digital title releasing on the 1/3...
Is The Grinder still headed to Nintendo Wii? If this survey is correct, the answer is "yes"
It was promised this year.
So yeah i think they will ( sega will )
Conduit 3 is basically confirmed for Project cafe i think.
Im not surprised if they do the same with The grinder ( which looks tons better!)
Brilliant news.
they've got my cash back
I always understood this when they announced it for the X360 and PS3 but its good to know that they want to get the word out. And it indicates that the still have the Wii version in their hearts which is awesome.
I was feeling skeptical about HVS after the Conduit (I enjoyed it fine, don't get me wrong) but this show of dedication to the Wii despite developing on 360 and PS3 is nice (I just hope that the game can stay relevant when it finally comes out next Fall); and the news about the Conduit 2 sure is great also.
By the way: HVS where the hell is Animales de los Muertes??? I. Want. That.
