November 2 was going to mark the release of not one, but two high-profile first person shooters on Wii:
Conduit 2 and
GoldenEye. It looks like Sega and High Voltage are taking a step back, telling
Nintendojo that the
Conduit sequel has been pushed back to Q1 2011.
There's no specified reason for the delay, but it's likely that Q1 offered a better release window for the Wii shooter. Sega famously released
Resonance of Fate one week after Final Fantasy XIII. Presumably, Sega would want a better fate for
Conduit 2.
Conduit 2's All Seeing Eye avoids GoldenEye, moves to 2011 originally appeared on Joystiq on Fri, 03 Sep 2010 19:00:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

The last time Namco Bandai released a
Museum collection on Wii with updated versions of its classics ... it
didn't really work out. Namco is trying again with
Namco Museum Megamix -- sort of. In fact, many of the remixed games in this collection are the same as in the previous collection, judging from the materials released. The
Galaga Remix seen in the screenshots is the same "defend Pac-Man" rail shooter seen in the 2007 game, and
Pac-Motos and
Pac-n-Roll Remix, described in the press release, was also present. That's right, Namco has now taken to re-releasing its remakes.
The Megamix adds at least one new rearrangement:
Grobda Remix, based on a
shmup you're forgiven for now knowing about. It'll also feature original (read:
good) versions of
Pac-Man, Mappy, Rally-X, Galaga, and more.
Megamix will be out in November.

The
IndieCade 2010 festival, an annual event held in Culver City, California which celebrates independently-created games, is doing a couple things differently for this year's awards presentation. The first is that all 32 of the finalists are nominated for every award category, such as "Technical Innovation," "World/Story," and the slightly more obscure "Sublime Experience." Check out the full list of categories and their lengthy list of contenders just past the jump.
Oh, the second difference for this year's show? It's going to be hosted by LeVar Burton. In short, it's shaping up to be the best awards show
ever.

A game based on
roller derby is something that never occurred to us, but it seems
incredibly obvious now that someone's doing it. Frozen Codebase announced
Jam City Rollergirls, a WiiWare game based on women's flat track roller derby and featuring real roller derby leagues. This is the second "official," licensed WiiWare game for an unconventional sport that we can think of, and it's far less disgusting than
its contemporary.
Frozen Codebase plans to release the circular skating and violence sim in the fourth quarter of this year.
Jam City Rollergirls will also be at PAX this weekend for the curious to give it a spin.
Jam City Rollergirls rolling out on WiiWare later this year originally appeared on Joystiq on Fri, 03 Sep 2010 07:00:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Shin'en, developer of the DS shmup
Nanostray and its sequel -- and, most recently, WiiWare platformer
Jett Rocket -- has
begun to tease its next project for Wii's digital platform:
FAST Racing League. Only a single piece of promotional art (pictured) has been revealed so far, but this image is worth at least a couple dozen words. Like, for example, the game looks to be a futuristic racer and the ship design bears an uncanny similarity to those of a
certain Sony racing franchise.
It's too soon to hope for an
F-Zero style racer on Wii (where is the Wii game in that series, anyway?) but at least those of us who like our racing fast and future-focused have something to put on our radar.

Activision today officially welcomed RZA to
the cast of
DJ Hero 2. The legendary Wu-Tang leader's inclusion as a playable character was first hinted at when RZA
shared a few images of his mocap costume for an unnamed Activision game back in April. RZA, who often performs as alter-ego Bobby Digital, said of his digitization, "Now, I actually exist in a digital world, yo."
Additionally, RZA mixed two tracks for the
DJ Hero 2 soundtrack. The first blends LL Cool J's "I Can't Live Without My Radio" with Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five's "The Message," and the second mixes Damian Marley's "Welcome To Jamrock" with Walter Murphy's "A Fifth of Beethoven." (RZA is also featured in the "Dollaz & Sense" Blackroc track licensed for the game;
see the complete track listing here.)
Catch RZA wax poetic on his journey from paperboy to
DJ Hero 2 in the video after the break. "Bong bong!"
