Yup, Conduit 2 still isn't out yet; however, things are still looking good for its newest release date, April 19th. This game has suffered a good number of delays, but if it's in the name of the multiplayer, that's fine by us. To tide us over, High Voltage has released a trailer of a bunch of the locations players will visit in the game. Whereas the first game had you mostly confined to the area of Washington D.C., its sequel will provide a large variety of locations to tickle your fancy.

In the latest batch of game delays, The Conduit 2 has experienced not one, but two delays in the past week. First we heard the game was to be released sometime in February. Then it was March. Finally the release has been pushed back to April 19th. That's okay though, the reason for the delay is good enough to help co-op.

The Conduit 2 is coming out for the Nintendo Wii on March 1, 2011.  This new teaser showcases some of the locales from the game before exploding into fast-paced action.  The graphics look dated, even for a Wii title, but shiny graphics are not the end all be all when it comes to gaming.  The Conduit 2 will have a four player survival mode where players can team up locally to battle waves of enemies.  Not incredibly original, but hey, take your co-op shooting when you can get it on the Wii.  Be sure to watch the video all the way to the end. That's where the magic happens.  

We promised you guys a preview of Conduit 2 from the SEGA vs. New York City event, and now we can finally deliver! The developers shared information about gameplay tweaks, new environments, new weapons, and finally some information about the co-op mode!

As Kat pointed out earlier in the week, The Conduit 2 is doing a lot for a sequel to a game that many considered the first succesful first-person shooter on the Wii.  Among these additions is the inclusion of a new co-op mode where up to four players will fight off waves of enemies, and is now confirmed as being playable either locally or online over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.  Nick and I had a chance to see a hands-off demo of the game at E3, and while the multiplayer/co-op modes weren't being discussed (a running theme for many of our appointments, it felt like), we did walk away with some pretty favorable overall impressions of what we saw.

Last years release of a Wii on-rails shooter sans co-op baffled us in The Conduit. It was the first time in ages a game with such co-op capabilities left us without a player 2. It would appear Sega learned from their mistake, unleashing The Conduit 2 complete with co-op, and a supposedly revolutionary online multiplayer system. This will be the first time a company has made such a claim for Wii's online capabilities, but we're certainly ready to hear more.

Sega and High Voltage Games have announced The Conduit 2 for the Nintendo Wii.  The game is the sequel to last year's successful, and mostly well received, FPS on the Wii.   While the sequel sports a single player campaign, the surprising focus seems to be on both online and local multiplayer.
