This style of FPS reminds me of Halo.

This game has been in development for a long damn time.  It was one of the first wii games i was truly interested in. I'm glad that they finally have a set release date for it. Hopefully there'll be something about it at E3.

I'm starting to respect High Voltage for what they're doing.
If you haven't been doing your research, The Conduit isn't their only game they are developing for the Wii.
They're also coming out with two new Wii games
1. Gladiator A.D., an arena fighting game
2. The Grinder, a online FPS game inspired by  Left 4 Dead and grindhouse horror films
Both game will use the Quantum 3 engine(also used for The Conduit)
High Voltage's goal is to, fill in the holes in the Wii Library
They're also developing Astro Boy for the Wii. Its good to see that someone is finally caring for the hardcore.

I probably need to fix my sensor bar if I want to get the full potential out of this game.

This really looks appealing to people? I know there's no real FPSes on the Wii, but why settle for this? DId you lower your expectations/standards or were they always this low?

This looks rather good. Even for a Wii game. The problem is the fact it won't sell a lot because Nintendos marketing department is god aweful, unless your catering to 4 and 40year olds. I hope it sells well.

All they have to do is the 360 marketing idea and cater to the stupid and the drones and be like BUY THIS BECAUSE ITS AWESOME? WHO SAID SO? AWESOME PEOPLE DID! YOU BUY THIS AND WOMEN WILL FUCK YOU RANCID!! YOU'LL BE COOL AS SHIT.

Just hope it sells well so they make a sequel, because there are a lack of fps games abit GOOD ones on the Wii which seams like a no brainer concidering the control scheme is closer to mouse control as opposed to duel joysticks.

Oh cool! Another N64 game ported to the virtual console!

Seriously, the game looked cool when it was first announced. But this shit looks like its running on the Goldeneye engine. The Wii is lucky that Punch Out!! is awesome because that might be all they have for the next year.

What the fuck are you talking about? It seems I can't view on comments section for anything on this site without seeing something retarded like this. What the fuck does what you just say even mean? There are no games marketed like that. Ever.

Apparently no one here has played Perfect Dark or TImesplitters 2/3. If you did, you'd be extremely excited to play this game.

Other than the pretty logo, none of that really caught my eye.

For a second there i thought i was watching a PS2/Xbox game footage when i realized he conduit is a Wii title. I don´t think the Wii is suited for FPS shooters because of the inferior graphical power compared to todays standards set by games like COD4 and Bioshock.

Here's what I don't get, if you want to play a FPS like the Conduit, why not just buy a 360? The 360 is cheaper, and has better shooters than the Wii.
