Cammie Dunaway, executive VP of Sales and Marketing at Nintendo was recently interviewed by MTV Multiplayer and had some nice things to say about both The Conduit and Madworld.  When speaking on games for the Wii that would appeal to the ‘Halo’ gamer, she said the following:

“Well, certainly, I feel there are titles that should make that group stand up and pay attention next year. If you look at something like [Sega-published first-person shooter] “The Conduit,” that’s really pushing the edge of graphic capabilities on the Wii and doing things that people didn’t think were possible. And I think, one, that makes other developers stand up and take notice. And two, that makes consumers say, “Huh. Maybe there’s something to this.” Or if you look at [Sega-published brawler] “Madworld“[you can see] just the sheer creativity of that graphic style and the impact of the black and the white and the red.

I think that next year you’re going to see the tide turn a little bit, in terms of people realizing that the Wii can have something of interest for everybody.”

The SEGA of America and SEGA Europe community teams have a special surprise for all you Sonic fans -  an exclusive audio podcast with the SOA producer for Sonic Unleashed, Patrick Riley!

We sat down with Patrick to talk about Unleashed, a look at his job as the producer, and his favorite – and likewise the most challenging – parts of his job producing the game. We’ve also included a number of the awesome music tracks from Unleashed, which you can listen to in the background! Check it out here, and let us know what you thought!

( There are a couple parts where we refer to the game as ‘upcoming’ – this was all recorded before Wii/PS2 launch, but for clarity’s sake, we’re also talking about the 360 and PS3 versions. )

We’ll soon have an official SEGA Podcast feed live through Itunes, so keep your eyes peeled for even more SEGA goodness coming your way in the near future. All feedback is appreciated, and we’d love to hear what you guys want to hear and see in future episodes!
