News Sega Not Giving Up On Mature Wii Titles Just Yet
Recent retail disappointments haven't dented Sega's confidence
As much as we loved Madworld and House of the Dead: Overkill, neither title sold particularly well, which has led many 'industry experts' to suggest that mature, hardcore games just can't find an audience on Nintendo's console. In the light of two high-profile commercial bombs you'd...

According to the official site, the game will feature full Mii support and will retail for 1000 Wii Points.
