Hackers have been a pretty big concern for regular online players in The Conduit. One of the first exploits allowed a user to obtain infinite health/ammo, and that occurred only a few days after the game launch. Unfortunately, things haven't gotten much better since then.
"We already have the most advanced Wii technology available. By incorporating some of the best PS3/360 technology, we are able to really push the envelope with our next wave of titles." said Kerry J. Ganofsky, founder of High Voltage Software.
High Voltage Software, creators of the recently released Wii Science-Fiction First-Person Shooter The Conduit, has announced the opening of a brand new online store. Available now at the official website, the High voltage Software online store is set to offer a variety of merchandise from the developers' titles.
As soon as The Conduit made its first appearance on IGN, the title seemed to have almost immediately garnered attention from major publishers. High Voltage slowed down the process though, and chose to collaborate with a company that would not hinder development of their title.
The August 2009 issue of Game Developer magazine, the sister print publication to Gamasutra and the leading U.S. trade publication for the video game industry, has shipped to print and digital subscribers and is available from the Game Developer Digital service in both subscription and single-issue formats.

Gamecca South Africa's Newest Video Gaming Magazine has release its second issue. This one is bigger and better than the previous issues and that one was great.
The Conduit has been on store shelves for a few weeks now and has received mostly a positive reaction. It's not the highest rated title rated for Wii nor is it the best-selling title on the platform, but most gamers probably wouldn't be opposed to seeing a sequel. High Voltage Software has expressed some interest in the past regarding more games for The Conduit's storyline, and, well, if you played the first game, you know that the ending leaves for the door wide open for another title. Fortunately, it looks like High Voltage still has plans for at least one sequel to The Conduit.
Sega revealed sales data for two of their titles, Virtua Tennis 2009 and The Conduit, in their quarterly earnings report.

The Conduit's performance in the market will almost surely be examined for the next few weeks. As has been reiterated time and time again, developers/publishers may be influenced based on how well the game sells.
SEGA stated last week that The Conduit saw "very strong week one sales." But how has it performed according to the June NPD sales data?

OfficialNintendoMagazine: High Voltage Producer Cameron Rains has told ONM that the company has been experimenting with Wii MotionPlus. Although MotionPlus isn't used the The Conduit, it would seem that High Voltage are big fans of Nintendo's new accessory.
An unlockables section in The Conduit's offers a look at achievements, cheats, and concept galleries. There is, however, one item in particular that is quite interesting.
In the latest edition of Official Nintendo Magazine, High Voltage Software's Eric Nofsinger talks about how worried they were with The Conduit after they saw Madworld sales.
Media outlets have a new reason to fear the ire of angry Nintendo fanboys, and this time it's not related to Mario, Zelda, or any other Nintendo properties. Rather, the problem stems from certain inaccuracies, or shall we say, disagreements that gaming publication GamePro posted in its recent review of the Wii's blockbuster FPS title, The Conduit. And it essentially has little to do with the score.
