Having once been the most fly pimps whoever beat their bitches, Nintendo very nearly ended up standing on a street corner for a six pack of Saki and some sushi roll, when the N64 and Gamecube respectively failing to bring in the Yen.
Had Pokemon not been so easy and supple, one could feasible argue it was looking like the wipe clean poly vinyl maids outfit was already in the post on rush order: feather duster and stain remover sold separately.

I have always been a Sega fanboy. My first console was the almighty Sega Mega Drive (Genesis for all you Yanks out there), and since then I have drooled over – if not owned – every Sega system that followed.
While I didn’t realize it at the time, I have always been fond of fantastical RPGs, despite my distaste for turn-based fighting systems. Sega was unable to provide me with enough role-playing fodder, and I wasn’t of legal age to start laboring for console-purchasing-cash. So, instead, I had to rely on relatives for my lengthy forays into the world of Nintendo RPGs. And it was there that I fell in love with a little developer known as Square.

It seems that as soon as The Conduit appeared on radar after being hyped up by IGN, that almost everyone knew about it. Initially bloggers and gamers alike touted it as the Wii’s Halo killer, but nothing could be confirmed. Rumor after rumor passed by, pairing up High Voltage with this or that publisher. Even Nintendo of America was one of the rumored contenders.
The Conduit finally landed in SEGA’s court, and they handled the publishing of the game. It was a somewhat surprising pairing, but no body really blinked an eye after it was confirmed. You might be wondering how SEGA’s interest in The Conduit began, and why they decided to publish the game.
It comes as no surprise that Wii Sports Resort is selling like hotcakes to the international gaming community. In Japan the original title sold almost one to one with the Wii, so strong numbers coming from the sequel should not be a surprise.
Japan has seen the game on store shelves the longest, followed by America and Europe. The combined numbers are somewhat staggering when you consider that Wii Sports Resort has been in North America and Europe less than a month. Read more… »
