Sorry, split-screen fans, The Conduit is hanging you out to dry. According to lead designer Rob Nicholls, the upcoming shooter will exclude a split-screen multiplayer option in order to maintain the game’s visual punch. In an interview with HD Warriors, Nicholls said the main reason the feature isn’t included is because of concern the graphics quality would be reduced when “double-rendering” the game for the mode.
High Voltage’s top priority in developing The Conduit is making sure the title achieves the “best looking” graphics on the Nintendo Wii, said Nicholls. While the in-house tech team at High Voltage continues to squeeze power out of the console, The Conduit will ship without split-screen — but Nicholls said it is remains possibility for future titles.

Click for more screens, you con-du-it
It feels like we just wrote a post about new The Conduit screens. Oh wait, that’s because we did. Yesterday. But, these are new screens, differing from those presented yesterday in almost every way possible. So, if you’re anxious to step into Mr. Ford’s shoes, then we suggest you step into our gallery below and satiate yourself on 13 brand new screens, some of which even depict real-life locations.

It generally doesn’t take much more than a “zombie” descriptor to pique our interest in a game, but High Voltage Software (the folks behind The Conduit) went even further than that for Animales de la Muerte. Not only are they making a WiiWare game about the undead, which they aim to release in September, but even better (or at least, different) — it’s about zombie animals in a Mexican zoo.
High Voltage summed up the premise of this cartoonishly zany game more cleverly than we could by saying, “Now, wandering freely through the zoo, the rotting beasts are no longer content with eating visitor scraps they get tossed into their cages — instead they prefer to eat the whole visitor.”
Not only do you have to kill the zombified animals, but you also have to save the poor creatures that have not yet succumbed to the outbreak. Funnily enough, the undead animals drop pesos when you kill them, which can be used to upgrade your weapons. As for the controls, the game is essentially a point-and-shoot action title, putting the Wiimote to good use. There’s also a co-op mode where you can play with up to four people, if you’re not shut-ins like us.
We posted some goodies after the break, including a hilarious trailer, so make sure to take a look.
