E3 08: Sega Blowout: Madworld photo

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.]

It was nice to see this news item up after reading the depressing Nintendo conference. At least one core gamer game is coming....

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.

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?

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. ._.

The Black and White is a neat concept and it actually looks pretty good!

...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.
