New Wii shooter aims for 360 quality graphics |

The video above is a tech demo for the aspiring Wii title The Conduit. It’s being made by High Voltage Software and they’re determined to provide a great story as well as the best graphics ever seen on a Wii. Kerry Ganofsky, the CEO of High Voltage Software made a rather bold statement regarding Wii graphics in a recent interview, saying, “Most of the games on the Wii look like crap. We want to change that, so we’ve invested heavily in our Wii tech over the past year.”
The game doesn’t have a publisher yet, so it may be a while before it’s released. If it is, I expect some Wii Zapper action to be included in the gameplay.
I leave you now with another quote from Ganofsky about his take on Wii owners position on gameplay, “Of course they care about gameplay, but we believe if given the choice, they would want great graphics as well. It’s just a cop out. With Conduit, we are trying to make a Wii game that looks like a 360 title.”

Other than a handful of mostly 1st party games, you’d swear that the Wii wasn’t capable of the effects in this video.
Although not a powerhouse, it would be nice to see some games pushing the hardware a bit more.
Just for attempting this, I hope this game finds a publisher.

That was really impressive. I’ve always known the Wii could produce more and now I see it can. Bravo.

These graphics are the latest and greatest. From 2004 anyway.
