Whatever happened to The Grinder? Think it will come to the Wii U?

Do you guys remember that pretty awesome looking shooter that was coming for the Wii from High Voltage?? Personally I was MORE than psyched about it but it became a weird pseudo-multi genre/platform creation then disappeared. Well I wonder if that was because they maybe ended up scrapping it for last gen to release it on the Wii U.

It was an amazing looking co op shooter featuring vampires and werewolves in the old west. It looked to play similarly to L4D. I gotta say...a game like that would be flipping AMAZING on the Wii U! They could do some amazing things with the GamePad. Anyhoo, just popped in my head so I wanted to get other people thinking about it again now that we have a next generation Nintendo console to drool over. I know not everybody has the highest opinion of HVS ( I personally do), but still, what do you guys think?

Darth-Samus

Yeah, that never happened

I do remember total crap that High Voltage tried to pass off to naive people though

Bet that game is cancelled

They went quiet after Conduit 2, that game flopped..so Im guessing they're out of console & do mobile/cell phone games now. :P

is that voice over guy the omnipresent voice in ZombiU?

Lol, oh Jaysonguy. You and your opinions. That's cute buddy. I've missed having you in my life.

Dude I thought the exact same thing! Who knows maybe it is?

I still feel the game may be coming. I'm hoping they've been given a bigger budget and more time to rebuild the game for the Wii U. It would be ah-mazing!

Probably not. Might be better off letting another developer make it.

The Conduit 2 happened, and now no one (understandably) is willing to take the risk of publishing their projects. meetroid8

A High Voltage employee mentioned this game and the Conduit in September.

The following is a status update from a High Voltage employee (HVSBob), done in the style of a faux interview.

Question: What about some original HVS games I've heard about, like The Grinder, Animales de la Muerte, and of course the Conduit series?

Answer: As usual, there are things we're not ready to talk about. The games I just mentioned in the last answer, for instance, are public knowledge for those who know where to look. But you may be pleased to know our strategy moving forward calls for a greater proportion of original IP games.

I'm excited about the projects we're working on now. I think they represent a new chapter for us: one that's more forward-thinking than before.

Question: OMG I love Conduit so much!

Answer: That's not a question, but thank you! And we haven't forgotten about Conduit over here, either. I would expect some new Conduit-related news before the year is out.GoNintendo

Outside of the Conduit series it sounds like The Grinder, and Animales de la Muerte may have been put on hold, or cancelled.

I wonder what they're planning for the Conduit? Conduit 3? Or maybe a Conduit HD collection for Wii U?

You're under the impression that a company that used the Wii audience for free pub and in return gave them repeated garbage titles can "fix up" anything?

[QUOTE="Michael0134567"] If there was a Conduit HD Collection, I might buy it if they fixed it up a lot.Michael0134567

I agree. I recognize the imperfection of both Conduit titles, but I still enjoyed them both all the same.

I would personally buy up eaither a Conduit HD collection (yes with improvements), The Grinder, or most of all The Conduit 3. Here's hoping!
