The Wii sure is a happy little box, isn’t it?  With its plethora of family-friendly titles and a “pick up and play” mentality, Nintendo’s non-HD console is handily winning the console wars, as well as the hearts and minds of former non-gamers everywhere.

So what the hell is this game doing on the Wii?!?!



Nothing says family-friendly like pulling a man’s heart out and squishing it in your fist or stabbing him through the head with a friggin’ street sign.  MadWorld looks crazy as hell, and decidedly not representative of the Wii game library so far.  If this indicates a shift in Nintendo’s approach to adult gamers, I’m all for it.  Sure, it’s fun to play with happy plumbers in space, but once in a while, you just need to slam someone into a wall of spikes. 

No release date yet for this monster, but we can expect it some time in early 2009.  Until then, I guess you can play Manhunt 2 for your Wii violence fix, but why would you?
