Sweet looking Left 4 Dead knock-off coming to Wii

Three games in the works and not a single review score. Only a day after announcing Gladiator AD for Wii, developer High Voltage has announced another game for Wii, dubbed The Grinder, before releasing its first major Wii title next month (The Conduit). IGN has the story:

Today we’ve got a special treat that we think fans of the Left 4 Dead series are simply going to love. It’s called The Grinder and it’s a blood-drenched first-person shooter designed to accommodate four-player online cooperative action.

The game is expected next year, and looks pretty sweet. I’m gonna be bummed if we hyped High Voltage for nothing, but I suspect the developer can deliver.

  1. HUGE!

    Seriously, people ask me why I get excited about the softeare that High Voltage is pushing out ( The Conduit. The Grinder, and Gladiator A.D.) when they can be consider "generic fare". It's because its on the Wii man!

    And that means I get to experience what was once done before in a completely new way, ESPECIALLY with wm+.

    The features and stuff they wanna do with the game and what they can do now gets me sooo excited for this. I love left 4 dead and to have a unique wii game of the same experience is just awesome.

    It's like High Voltage is the only core developing company that is actually LISTENING to Nintendo fans. Through the interview at IGN it was like with every question they was saying EXACTLY whay I wanted outta that game.

  2. YES! I love blood-drenched first person shooters! Because I'm a gamer and VIOLENCE RULEZ!

  3. This reminds me of "The Last Man on Earth" with Vincent Price. A classic film where Price is living on an Earth inhabited solely by Vampires. I hope the online really works out for this one. It could be great fun.

  4. Sorry to double post

    but I must say I really really hope High Voltage rakes in some money from these. I mean, they must be pretty confident, churning out three titles and all but I'm worried the Nintendo fanbase might not pick up on these titles.

    Then again, Madworld and HotD:O are actually picking up in sales (Overkill nearing 300K and MadoWorld just over 200K)
