For obvious looking reasons, it seems that BigN is going to be The Conduit's Publisher.
1) High Voltage still hasn't released the publisher's name....
2) WiiSpeak seems to have been approved for a while before E3 since HV jumped at it @ E3 while both Wii motion plus and WiiSpeak were announced at the same time.
3)Wii Friend codes are most probably going to stay, coming from the horse's mouth.
4) No DLC... since Nintendo hasn't come out with a storage solution and The Conduit's release is pretty soon.
5) Nintendo needs this game, first to appease the hardcore gamers and to increase their library, and also the xbox price drop might actually put a small dent on their plans...
I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo release a price reduced black Wii, including a Counduit and Wiispeak bundle.... that would be sweet....huh?
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
nintendo really need games of higher quality than what 3rd party developers present. as I can remember the last good game on wii -other than 1st party games- is no more heroes & recently de blob.
The Conduit is looking really good, I hope that nintendo will do something.
update: WM+ has been added to The Conduit...
HVS got those development kits pretty quick...:)
point 4 is flawed, doesn't GH or RB have DLC even for wii?
"Nintendo needs this game, first to appease the hardcore gamers and to increase their library"
increasing their library is already happening.
Now that the big N has given a storage solution maybe there will be DLC. Only sucky thing will be friend codes though. If Nintendo is the Publisher than maybe Mr.Ford could appear as a assit trophy or playable character in the new SSB!
I can only see Nintendo being the eventual publisher, tbh it's been looking likely for a while as I thought if the Conduit looked promising it would be pretty unwise of Ninty not to support a dev that decided to build for Wii alone from the ground up. Lets be straight here-The Conduit is starting to look the most likely candidate to become the game that finally nails what we all expected when we first saw the motion controls all that time ago-and that's a truly great FPS with(hopefully) online performance to match.
IDK about the bundle idea. this hasn't seemed a Nintendo tactic of late and is the Conduit well known enough outside this type of circle to yet be a great console shifting game? I hope it becomes a franchise capable of doing that but , for me, it's still waay too early. Does look really good though.
