Every Wii owners knows about The Conduit by now. High Voltage first revealed the title to IGN in early April with an exclusive interview and then followed with the first trailer last month. Hyping a new engine said to have the Wii produce graphics on par with launch games of the 360 and PS3, High Voltage gained a lot of attention for such big statements.

We now have some concrete details surrounding this hotly anticipated and hyped FPS. The title will boast a competitive online multiplayer aspect and an intense single player campaign. Players will play as Secret Service Agent Ford, and must master a variety of guns as well as the secret "All Seeing Eye" device to kill enemies. Aside from shooting, the game will consist of puzzles that you must solve to discover all the mysteries hidden within the game.

As of now, The Conduit is scheduled for a Quarter 1 2009 release. Stay tuned.

High Voltage Software's The Conduit is a stunning first-person action shooter that promises to provide some of the best visuals seen to date on Nintendo's Wii gaming console.

Using their proprietary Quantum 3 Game Engine technology, the team at High Voltage Software is fusing fast and fluid gameplay with an advanced set of visuals intended to squarely establish the Wii as a true next-generation gaming platform. The first-person shooter boasts a competitive online multiplayer component and a thrilling single-player campaign. Advanced graphical features include dynamic environment mapping, interactive water with real-time reflection, and four-stage texture composition including gloss, diffuse, and bump mapping.

"Too many Wii owners have been told that the Wii is a casual platform with no room for serious games or top-tier graphics," said Eric Nofsinger, Chief Creative Officer at High Voltage Software. "With The Conduit, we intend to prove that theory wrong by providing gamers with the kind of title they imagined back when the platform was first announced."

Featuring terrifying alien creatures, an advanced Artificial Intelligence System, and a rich, conspiracy-laden story, The Conduit has more than a pretty face. "The Wii has tremendous potential," said Kerry J. Ganofsky, CEO and founder of High Voltage Software. "We've invested heavily in our technology to make certain that potential is realized with The Conduit."

The Conduit's control scheme was carefully designed from the ground up with the Wii in mind, as were each of the weapons in the extensive armory, providing gameplay not possible on other platforms. As Secret Service Agent Ford, you must learn to master each of these weapons as well as the special "All Seeing Eye" device to defeat enemies, solve puzzles, and unravel the game's mysteries.

"Conduit was especially designed for the Nintendo Wii" states Matt Corso, Creative Director at High Voltage Software. "From the weapons to armory and graphics, we tailored everything to the Wii which sets this game play apart from anything else on the market right now."

The Conduit is currently scheduled for Q1 2009 release.
