While there are those that have argued that blood-soaked brawler MadWorld spoils the family image of the Wii, developer Platinum Games believes that its upcoming title feels "at home" on Nintendo's console. Well, different strokes for different folks, as they say.
Platinum Games' Atsushi Inaba believes that his game fits on the Wii thanks to its pick up and play style. "We're really interested in the Wii platform so we wanted to create a really cool and stylish game for that," he explains. "As you can see [from our Leipzig presentation] it's really easy to pick up and play so when we came up with the concept of Mad World the Wii felt like a good console for that. It feels like a game that is at home on Wii."
MadWorld may fit the console, but will it feel so natural to the console's users? The Wii could certainly do with more titles in the same vein as this unique looking brawler, I just don't know how successful it will be with things like Wii Music and Reggie Loves That Throttle hogging all the limelight.

Okay, that just turned this from a do want to a must f**king have it or people will get hurt!!
It's probably not going to sell great.
These games unfortunately don't.
Exactly! Its time for hardcore gamers to put their money where their mouth is. If games like MadWorld, The Conduit, HOTD: OverKill, est. don't sell on the Wii in early 2009 then we might as well just give up because it will be all over for hardcore gamers on the Wii. There is no reason why No More Heroes shouldn't be a million seller on the Wii right now it got good to great reviews yet the hardcore just basically ignored it.
Its a continuous cycle where people say they want hardcore games on the Wii, and then they just don't buy them. So more hardcore games don't get made for the Wii, and people start to complain even more when they see games like Carnival Games sells 2 million copies. The casual gamers buy the games that they like where as the hardcore gamers on Wii just don't, and that's the problem.
NOT A SALE.
Buying 10 copies.
