When Chad let us know about the upcoming Wii game Madworld last month, I was honestly pretty surprised. A violent, black and white game where you can paint the environment with the crimson red blood of your foes didn’t sound like something that would be coming to Nintendo’s little white waggle box. I’m certainly glad it is, though.
Sega has released some new screens today, along with a bit of new information. It turns out that Jack, the main character, is stuck in some sort of death game called Death Watch that is organized by a terrorist group know as the Organizers. The premise sort of reminds me of The Club.
During these Death Watch matches we can expect to execute plety of visceral finishing moves with the Wiimote and Nunchuk. Maybe Platinum Games is going for more of a No More Heroes style of fighting? There will also be several monstrous bosses to look forward to along with several minigames to keep you and your friends entertained after the main storyline is over.
Madworld is currently slated to come out sometime during Q1 of next year. [Update: Added the trailer after the jump.]

this looks fun.
for wii, you say?
It was nice to see this news item up after reading the depressing Nintendo conference. At least one core gamer game is coming....
that looks like the only game I saw for wii today that I'm really exited about :D
Wow. A main character named "Jack." Amazing!
Man, I hope this game is playable at E3 and deeper than No More Heroes.
This is pretty much the only Wii game I've seen that interests me.
I'm pumped for it, but I'm worried that staring at stark black and white for that long will make me go nuts. Also, it's hard to make out what's going on in the trailer because the art style.
This is what they should have been showing at the conference. I don't care if it's not family friendly.
Imagine what it would be like in HD!
it looks like the most interesting game of the show so far, the commentary during the game is awesome
is there a wii rental service? i wanna play this and no more heroes... but, i had a wii and all it did was collect dust so i sold it to a stripper
I'll drink THAT milkshake with my straw!
GREG PROOPS IS THE ANNOUNCER!
I love the style, I'm hoping the gameplay is as good though.
Yeah, is it bad that this game that I know so little about is the game I'm probably most looking forward to on the Wii now?
why for the wii? gay.
It looks like Godhand and No More Heroes meet Frank Miller. It looks good, and I plan to pick it up, but I'm more excited about seeing Bayonetta. Everything Hideki Kamiya touches is.. Platinum. ._.
This has me excited for my Wii!
The Black and White is a neat concept and it actually looks pretty good!
Reminds me of Comix Zone. Do want!
holy shit that does sound like greg proops. and is that joe "marcus fenix" dimaggio as well?
this looks neat.
wow that's awesome
@ fetusmilk
...Gay?
It's gay that the Wii is getting something that's not a minigame compilation? Whatever...
Look promising, but the music is horible. If the soundtrack is very different from this, it's probably the best Wii related material that E3 has showed.
Why, Nintendo, why did you had to crush my soul to pieces. Wishing that i had a 360 right now.
FUCK YES
Man the art style is freakin cool!
Oh my christ this game just keeps looking better and better...
