High Voltage Requesting Control Schemes for The Conduit

High Voltage recently announced fan-created control schemes for their Wii-exclusive shooter, The Conduit.

Given the praise for the studio's willingness to explore different ways of using the Wii remote and nunchuck, the team's Lead Programmer, Ed Federmeyer has suggested a contest to allow players to submit their ideal schemes, and the best of the best be included as presets.

From the start of the project our primary goal has been to make the definitive first person shooter for the Wii, and specifically for core gamers. Asking core gamers for their input is just a logical extension of that rationale.

Kerry J. Ganofsky, Chief Executive Officer.

1. Move Forward/Back
