Wii Games Get Darker, Bloodier, Madder: Nintendo Fan Alliance's MadWorld Preview

Attention all of you sick and depraved gore hounds! Boy, do I have a game for you. Platinum Studios has announced their brand new ultra bloody action game, MadWorld exclusively for the Nintendo Wii console! The game has an heavily inspired Sin City theme and looks to be a throwback paying homage to such over the top classics such as Duke Nukem.

1 - Whoa
Thats pretty damn violent for a Wii game. Certainly there are many games just as gory out there, but being in black and white with the only color emphasis on the blood and gore itself, this sure looks like it will be getting an AO rating...

Little late there arent you kid? Did you forget NMH,Godfather, Manhunt2, nah nm you that clueless might as well stay that way. Before I go let me say this. The only people who think the Wii is just for kids and grandmas are also fanboy idiots who dont own one or know anything about its games...

Just curious, when did Nintendo advertise the Wii as being for kids and grandmas? The Wii commercials I've seen have ppl of all demographics and backgrounds.

resident evil 4 sold over 1 mill copies and that was an "old" game when it came to the wii. Do you think it was granpa and mommy who bought that game?

3 - Rip off
Who cares it is gonna suck anyways. But this game seems very "inspired" (ripped off) from Gears Of War. "Mad World" was the song that was the sound track to the famous GOW trailer. And the Chainsaw animation is almost spot on with GOW's. The game isn't gonna sell, its gonna suck, and it inst original at all...Boring...(and it definitely inst going to be the goriest game of all time...no freegin way...)and another the KN...it wont get AO, dumb comment bro. Violence alone in this day wont get a game AO.

real mature considering this team consists of the guy who lead the resident evil 4 team and the dino crisis games i doubt this game is gonna suck. Two the graphics are an art style just in case you didn't get it and if your read previews you would know despite the monochrome look everything is clearly defined. Just because one chainsaw attack happens to look the same as from another game does not make it a rip off. Mad world is simply a song that the gears trailer used so no game can use it as a title? That's just ridiculous. You have no idea how it is going to sell, if its advertised well just like re 4 and re :uc it will sell well over a million copies at the very least. Its very original because all the moves you have got according to rpeviews (so far) are melee attacks . I would love to see you point out another game that plays exactly like this and you will silence me. The game is very violent for a very good reason because you impale people with road signs and throw them against spikes and rip out their hearts does that seem very kid friendly or teen rated to you?

Mad World was off Donnie Darko way before Gears, don't say it like Gears owns that song.

well thanks for bringing my maturity into this. I'm just saying its gonna suck...Because the vast majority of games on the Wii that are any good are not third party, and it looks like there trying to hard. But we will see... and no it wont be AO because it def wont sell anything then. It will be Mature. The Wii isnt the market for this kinda game, it simply inst. And I just wish that the devs that are making this game wouldn't go the "Artsy" way. I'm sorry I offended you.

4.1 - no you haven't ofeended me
i brought your maturity into question for the way you typed you earlier comment. your second post makes you sound like different person ask anyone. More ature argument and more detailed too.It won't go Ao and i don't even comment on that. The wii is definitely a market for hardcore games like I said Resident evil 4 , resident evil umbrella chronicles they both sold million or more with next to no advertisements.Art trumps all and we may differ on that. Th wii isn't as powerful as the other two consoles so wouldn't it allow for interesting looking games that will come out since the wii can't do gritty realistic graphics as well as the other two. If third party devs actually tried hard I think more mature and quality games would sell one the wii far outdoing the 360 as the biggest software selling machine. unfortunately the system gets shovelware thrown in for a quick buck. There are hardcore gamers who own the wii. For instance me I owned an n64 a ps2 and now a wii. My 360 owning friend wanted to exchange consoles for a week so he could play smash bros when he was away. It sbeen about 2 months now and he got me to buy him mario kart while i got to play gta 4 which he does not care for. there are hardcore games , high profile ones that did not sell on the ps2. For instance okami and mgs 3 which sold about half the copies mgs 2 did . I would love to know why that happened not bullshit reason like there were many good games so it got overlooked because games don't go any more high profile than mgs , well except final fantasy perhaps.

This looks like Gears of War mixed in with Sin City artwork!

:( But they expect the release date to be around 2009 :(

This makes God of War look like Hello Kitty. And if the developers from RE and Devil May Cry are in it, its gonna kick some ass. This might be the RE4 for the wii, the game that will make the wii worth a getting.

P.S. why do people say their wii only sits their and eats dust. I play mine every week, there are great hardcore games out their, u just gotta look for them. Examples are No More Heroes, Medal of Honor Heroes 2 (32 player online), Ghost Squad (cool arcade rail shooter with online coop), Battalion Wars 2 (sequal to great GC game and online supported), RE: umbrella chronicles (great warm up for RE5), The Godfather (was givin better reviews than 360 or ps3 version).
