IT HAS CO-OP! Revealed by this nice short new trailer. Man can Platinum Games be more amazing?!?!
EDIT: Here are some more important facts when IGN's Nintendo podcast had a segment about Madworld.
- Everyone in the office who sees it does a double take
- Artistic and way gory
- Game gets pretty tough
- There are some major boss fights in the game that are challenging
- Matt recently beat a boss with a sliver of life left
- Great beat-em-up
- Game of the year contender
- Matt more excited about playing MadWorld than Resident Evil 5
- Publishers are absolutely watching this game - If the game bombs, gamers are in trouble - Matt will hate you if you can afford to buy the game and you rent it instead
- A sequel is possible if it sells well - sequels not always possible, even if it does sell well
Guys I recently edited the blog with more important info such as publishers will be tracking the sales of Madworld so if Madworld is successful we could probably see more awesome and mature games on the Wii.
From what I've heard, the game's got a fair amount of pre-orders going so far. I'm pretty damn sure it will sell over 1 million globally. I mean, even god-damn The Force Unleashed sold over a million on the Wii, and the game was average at best.
It was also encouraging to see how people reacted to the game at the NY CC. The crowds around the game were pretty huge, and even people that weren't playing couldn't take their eyes off it.
Yeah a bunch of my friends on nintendoworldreport.com either have this preordered or are buying it day 1 or week 1. And the UK/Aussie part of that user base are happy that they are getting a soundtrack as a preorder bonus.
@Solgrim - I know that Sega advertised it pretty well in Japan but it bombed. I saw a bunch of internet ads and some magazine ads for Valkyria Chronicles but it's the combination of being lost in the shuffle and poor advertising that hurt it.

Still looked awesome though! I hope that there is a Vs mode as well.
