MadWorld dated for the US News

Wii News by Robert Purchese

3 February, 2009

SEGA has smacked a US date of 10th March on brutal Wii action game MadWorld.

Europe, however, has nothing more concrete than "March" to go by. We're pestering the publisher for something more specific.

Strangely, MadWorld has yet to be rated by the ESRB for sale in the US. The BBFC cleared the game for sale here with no cuts, stamping an 18 rating on the box.

MadWorld has caused a censor-y stir, mostly because an over-the-top fighting game where signs can be thrust through squidgy heads is not the sort of thing the expanded Wii audience usually sees.

That said, Nintendo US almost-boss Cammie Dunaway believes MadWorld will be crucial to sating the hunger of the core Wii crowd.

Plus, with developer PlatinumGames - made up of former Clover Studio employees (God Hand, Okami, Viewtiful Joe) - at the helm, the pedigree should be more than apparent.

Head over to our MadWorld gamepage for our coverage so far and look out for our hands-on impressions later today.

Why am I not interested in this game??! Oh well. Guess it can only surprise me, then.

God I hope this sells well, not just so that Nintendo realise there is still demand for core games on the Wii, but also because those poor ex-Clover guys deserve one of their games to do well considering how good their back catalogue is.

Well done to SEGA for backing mature games on the Wii. I'm more interested in the Conduit than this as aside from the 'attitude' & distinctive art style, I've not seen much in gameplay terms thus far to convince me that this will be great, but I hope it is.

I'll be interested to see what advertising Sega will do in regards to their hardcore Wii games. I'm not expecting either House of the Dead Overkill or THQ's Deadly Creatures to do much business next week if they don't get a strong tv advertising campaign/instore promotion. Same with Madworld.
