Time after time we constantly hear developers that are brave enough to work on the Wii that they think/believe/feel that the Wii hasn't been pushed, and that it still has more in its engine-that-could shell. Is it true? Yeah? Sweet, then do it!




Probably one of the first offenders of this was Factor 5. After taking their jabs at Wii and following that up with the poorly received Lair on PS3, they comment on the developers working on Wii projects. They mention how they say developers aren't focusing on graphics at all cause it is a Wii title. Of course they said they were up for a Wii title and then the rumors came in that they were doing a Kid Icarus title. But if it is true, does this concept art really look like it is pushing the Wii? No other information or imagery is out there and it is just concept art but it just seems they are talking a lot.


The most recent "offense" is by Activison and an interview about Call of Duty: World at War. In this Italian (I assume that it is), they talk about details like "Zapper support," 60FPS (30 online), CoD4 engine, and of course that they believe that the Wii hasn't been pushed to its limits yet. Are they someone that could actually do it? There is no real proof that they can do it. All images available now are for the Xbox 457 so I guess we will have to see.



There is one last big game that has been heard throwing around simple lines of "pushing Wii to the limit" and "360 graphics on the Wii!" This is probably one of the biggest Wii titles right now (next to MadWorld of course). So big that they are even pushing for voice chat in their online play. The only difference between High Voltage and this game is that unlike the others they actually have something to back up their claim. And if you missed it, here is the trailer to The Conduit.



Will The Conduit be the first game to actually do what they say all developers should do with the Wii? I don't know but it should and I can't wait.
