Here’s something that I was pleasantly surprised to see and read about. While I was hopping around some usual websites for gaming-related news, I visited SEGA’s USA website. I’ve known about SEGA working closely with Nintendo in the past few years, so I decided to check out what SEGA had in store for the Wii. And while one of their projects isn’t “in stores”, so-to-speak, coming this summer, the Wii looks to be receiving a very well-rounded and polished first-person shooter (FPS) to its game lineup.

The game is called, The Conduit. The description of the game’s basic plotline is detailed on the SEGA website, but basically, the idea is that you are placed in a not-too-distant future where Washington D.C. has been subjected to “weird events” that have put the surrounding country in an alerted, chaotic state. The protagonist in this storyline appears to be, “Mr. Ford”, a Secret Service agent that is forced to assume the role of Mr. Nice-Guy.

Futuristic weapons? Check. Unique weapon and aiming system that only the Wii offers? Check. A bunch of crazy alien-like creatures in a freaky environment just waiting to destroy mankind? Apparently… check.

There are two short gameplay trailers available on the SEGA website that showcase the feel of the game. I must say, I’m fairly impressed with what I’ve seen thus far from this title. It seems like a very well-rounded game with impressive graphics, considering it’s a Wii title, after all. I’ll be looking forward to what this game will offer the Wii. I think it’s about time that the Wii received a worthy FPS game.
