Speaking to MCV, SEGA has revealed that it believes many publishers have moved away from the hardcore Wii gamer market in favour of creating mass market casual games and now hopes to fill this gap with upcoming titles, MadWorld and The Conduit.
“There have been some good hardcore Wii titles,” said MD of SEGA Europe North Alan Pritchard. “Resident Evil 4 has done reasonable numbers; Red Steel has also performed really well. But since then, many publishers have migrated towards the more mass-market family titles, so perhaps there hasn’t been the array or depth of hardcore titles on Wii. So there is definitely opportunity here.”
UK sales director John Clark added: “More family friendly titles are being released on PlayStation and 360 as this is a growth area for these formats. Maybe with Wii there’s a reverse opportunity.”
MadWorld and The Conduit have certainly been generating a buzz among the hardcore gaming community, one looking truly unique while the other appears to push the Wii’s graphical limits.
