Wii - MadWorld -  Sega Working Closely With ESRB On Ultra Violent 'Mad World,' Japanese Release May Not Happen  MTV Multiplayer's Patrick Klepek reports:

""MadWorld" is one of the most anticipated third-party Wii games and perhaps the most violent. Though sporting a black-and-white aesthetic, there's plenty of blood.

At the first day of Nintendo's fall summit in San Francisco, a pair of Sega representatives showed me an updated build of "Mad World" and described how they're handling the game's violent nature."

Wii - MadWorld - MadWorld Concept "Really Suited Wii" Platinum Games chose Wii as the platform for its ultra-violent, black and white blood bath, MadWorld, because "it feels like a game that is at home" on Nintendo's console. Hmmm.

Speaking to CVG Platinum Games' Atsushi Inaba said the pick up and play nature of the controversial action game made it a good fit for Wii.

"We're really interested in the Wii platform so we wanted to create a really cool and stylish game for that," said Inaba.

Wii - MadWorld - Parents horrified as most violent video game ever to launch on 'family friendly' Wii via Eurogamer:

"SEGA Wii game MadWorld will "spoil the family fun image" of the console, according to Mediawatch-UK, a British organisation that campaigns for decency in television, games and films.

"I hope the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) will view this with concern and decide it should not be granted a classification," John Beyer, director of Mediawatch-UK, told the Mail Online.

"What the rest of world does is up to them. We need to ensure that modern and civilised values take priority rather than killing and maiming people.

"It seems a shame that the game's manufacturer have decided to exclusively release this game on the Wii," said Beyer. "I believe it will spoil the family fun image of the Wii.""

Wii - MadWorld - New blood-drenched MadWorld screens

Ripping people's hearts out, cutting blokes in half with a chainsaw - that's what's going down in these gory new MadWorld screens, and we like it.

That pretty much sums up the whole game. You play as Jack, the man with the chainsaw arm, and you brutalize people in the most horrific ways. Sega called it "comical violence" in a press unveiling, so somehow that makes it okay for Nintendo's family-friendly ...

Wii - MadWorld - MadWorld dev: Wii Director of upcoming gore-fest from SEGA and Platinum games details why such a game is a good fit for Wii.

At SEGA's showcase event for its four-game deal with Platinum Games (the studio formerly known as Seeds, created by ex-Clover Studio staff) Mad World director Shigenori Nishikawa revealed why the decision was made to develop such a violent game for Nintendo's family-oriented console.

"We felt that the Wii Marketplace had too many of the same type of games - there was something missing in the line-up," stated Nishikawa. "That's why we created such a game as Mad World."
