Last I heard it was still being made, it was suppose to be made into some top down shooter on the HD consoles and remain a FPS on the WIi. I don't know if that is still the case or if this is being made at all. Its been quite since last E3.

I'm hoping it gets delayed to be made on Wii-U and 3DS instead.

That would be cook. I too am eagerly awaiting The Grinder as it was slated for Halloween release this year.

I would say the smart move is to move the game to Wii U. Many of their original IPs on Wii have been geared toward attempting features that were not really meant for Wii. However those tools appear to be more prevalent on Wii U.

That would be actually the best move. I prefer to wait for a Wii U cooperative online version with 8 players or so and more variety on the monsters

They can't find a publisher, and honestly I'm not surprised.

Considering Conduit 2 scored lower than tue first and has only sold 47,000 copies in the first seven weeks at launch.... WHY would anyone publish Grinder??? HVS is a bust and considering that there are much better shooters on the market now for the Wii, no one is desperate enough for HVS's s.crap.s

I hope they don't make it a Wii U title. That'll upset the people that followed it. It lloks cool though.

and i hope grinder comes out on Wii. It would be nice if it had a year before Wii U just for sales. But i can see Nintendo pushing it back into a launch exclusive for the Wii U. Conduit 2 and even 1 are decent shooters....so im sure Grinder will be good. and for the record, i enjoyed the hunter reckoning game back on GC and i think that was HVS. so the grinder ports might even be good.

Why would (or how would) nintendo push back a game they are not making or publishing?

Yeah, the wiiware version was cancelled, but weren't they prepping a retail disc version of the game with more content than the wiiware version?

HVS made a great engine for The Conduit, but it just does not have a huge selling point with Nintendo's current market.

Conduit doesn't have quality, which is why it didn't sell. :? Several shooters have already sold multi-millions with Black-ops about to be the next to do so, HVS doesn't have an excuse, so stop making excuses for them

Yeah, It seemed interesting, but nothing that I wouldn't want to try on a HD console. I'm guessing it's in limbo.

Nothing that seemed too special to make it a must have by anymeans. One game at a time HVS, one game at a time.

The conduit franchise is a no name franchise that is fighting to recieve some recognitionwhileBO is a well known franchise thatcan easily receive great reviews(even if we don't know if these reviews are telling the truth about the game's quality).

Is that a joke? Even with all its flaws Black Ops is far and away a superior experience :? The notion that only well known franchises score high is a joke. Look at Duke Nukem Forever, and now look at Little Kings Story. Maybe if they wanted recognition they should have done what every franchise started as (nothing) and worked on the quality of their game rather than spending that time talking about how good they were going to make it.

The difference between BlackOps and DukeNukemForever is thatDuke game was in development world for literally1 and a half decades while Black Ops just seen a game released a year before it came out.There was also a lot of hype for that duke game,but the reallylow reviews will eventually kill the sales for it.I agree aquality gamesells more, but the name has an affect on how much sales a game can acheive as seen through your example of Little King Story.

I'm surprised it didn't do better. Its a good game really. The MP is fun and the game overall is an improvement in every way over the first. I guess FPSes just don't do well on the Wii if you don't have CoD in the name.

Wish it was continued because Hunter: The Reckoning was a beastly game. A ton of fun.

Well for what HVS did for The Conduit is pretty impressive. They have far less resources. But I do admit, I was very hyped up on the game, and was extremely disappointed with how it turned out. Call of Duty will be the top shooter for quite a while.

Goldeneye needs way more credit on these boards :P It's far outselling Black Ops and is about to pass Modern Warfare :P
