Madworld is a brand new Wii game from Sega and Platinumgames (aka the heads of Clover Studios, Capcom's unique development studio that brought us Okami and Viewtiful Joe before its closure) that looks to push the Mature rating to its limits. The game's graphics are only three colors - black, white, and red. You can probably guess what is red - the blood, hearts ripped from your opponents, and items that can be used to slaughter your foes. With a Smash TV-like premise and its over-the-top violence, Madworld could be a mega-hit, and it certainly stands out from the glut of casual Wii titles.

Yeah, I heard about this being mentioned in the next Famitsu.
Since I liked No More Heroes, hopefully, I'll like this.

Well, this certainly looks interesting! A big surprise that it's landing on the Wii. I wonder if it will pass the censors  It's finally looking like Nintendo's aim to move developers away from muddy brown "realism" and to experiment with art direction are paying off. Many of the best games on the Wii have very striking styles. *stares at games* Time to do some trade-ins, methinks! |

Some info from MTV has revealed on where the "signpost stabbing" in the game comes from. “There’s a lot of those games out there where you use daggers to stab people,” he explained — cheerfully mind you. “But stabbing daggers through people is so normal and everyone does it. So we were thinking if we put a sign on it, an everyday signpost, it would be more fun and more creative.”  |

Wow, I'm surprised no one here posted in this thread since May. This should make you guys happy, the question of why Madworld was developed for the Wii in the first place from an interview on IGN. IGN AU: Why Wii? Atsushi Inaba: It has a huge install base and we’re really interested in the Wii platform so we wanted to create a really cool and stylish game for that. New "holiday" Madworld trailer. (you can even here some voice over effects from Greg Proops and John Dimaggio in the background). Offline mutliplayer has been confirmed to be in the game from the official website. Nintendo Power has said there's an attack in the game where "you shove a trumpet up a man’s butt, and he’ll stumble about in a daze, playing a tune for you." Finally SEGA sent out a Madworld holiday poem. Twas a night before DeathWatch, when all through downtown
Not a person was stirring, since being stomped to the ground.
The bodies were hung on the rosebushes with care,
In hopes that more enemies would soon appear.
Jack was nestled all snug in his bed,
While visions of beating hearts danced in his head;
Jack with a sign post, the Bull in a tire wrap,
Impaled and put down for a long winters nap.
When out at the train station there arose such a splatter,
Everyone ran to see what was the matter.
Towards the commotion, they flew like a flash,
A game show was announced, winners paid cash.
The moon in the breast of the newly-fallen blood-stained snow,
Gave the luster of mid-day to environmental weapons below.
When, what to my wondering dark eyes should sit
But a chainsaw, a spiked bat and daggers! OH S#!% |

Greg Proops = instant purchase. He's so awesome. I was already interested in the game, but his inclusion is pretty much all I needed to make this one of my most anticipated. ^_^

Hopefully this and the Conduit will be third party must-haves for the next semester. “stabbing daggers through people is so normal and everyone does it.” Speak for yourself! |

Pretty funny trailer.  (your hear why, I don't want to ruin it). “stabbing daggers through people is so normal and everyone does it.” Speak for yourself! It's so sad that I didn't say that, when someone on the dev team actually said it. |

Unlike Deadly Creatures, Madworld is getting a lot of advertising from SEGA, even going so far as to be mentioned at the end of a HotD:O trailer. Even SEGA has teamed up with GameStop to advertise the game. More info.IGN has also been doing a "Madworld Month" series of articles as well. Here's the lastes one, it's an interview with Greg Proops and John DiMaggio about their involvement with the game. |

I'm glad Sega is pulling out all the stops. The developers deserve such lavish attention, in my opinion. I'll be getting it ASAP as well.

With all that effort, I'll be damned if this bombs.

Eeheehee! I like It! I only like carnage games if they're supposed to be funny, and this has tickled my bones.
