MadWorld director leaves Platinum Games

Shigenori Nishikawa, director for the Wii exclusive MadWorld has left Platinum Games. The reason for his departure is unknown.

Though, he did not go that far away, he joined TANGO, Shinji Mikami’s studio. Seems that Platinum Games staff might be split with TANGO in the future? Who knows, but SEGA should try to work a publishing deal with them as well.

Sega Australia reveals ‘Welcome to Violence’

One year after the excellent ‘Bang Bang Box’ edition of The House of the Dead: Overkill, the good people at Sega Australia have revealed another excellent bundle for the Wii. ‘Welcome to Violence’ contains the games Madworld, The House of the Dead: Overkill and The Conduit. All three games have recieved a warm reception from critics and will satisfy any Wii owner suffering from a bit of the old bloodlust. It all comes presented in a nifty Drive in Cinema/Grindhouse case too!

The price for the compilation is only AUD $109.95, a very nice price considering that major retailers are selling the individual games for between $50 and $80 each! If you don’t have these games yet, now is a great time to check them out!
