It wouldn’t be Monday without new games to download across Nintendo platforms. This week’s highlight is definitely Hudson’s first-person soaker, Water Warfare. It’s a neat concept, but we really think Hudson could’ve spent some time tightening up the graphics in level three.

Listen — not every game at E3 is a winner. The Joystiq heavyweights get to go play all the big games and interview all of the developer hotshots, and that’s the stuff you love reading about. But some of us are down in the trenches, doing all of the demos that no one else wants to do, checking out all the games whose names are read around the schedule planning table, and answered only with the silence of bloggers who have better games to play.
That’s not to say that Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympics is a bad game — its audience will probably enjoy it. Just like the previous Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, it offers multiple Olympic sports-based minigames featuring popular Nintendo and Sega characters, controlled by various Wii and DS motions. People who like buying that kind of thing (parents wandering a videogame store looking for wholesome family entertainment) will probably enjoy it. But even though most of the Joystiq staff passed on this demo (and your faithful blogger bravely attended it), it was one of the more surreal things we’ve seen this week. Our strange experiences, let us show you them.

What’s the real deal with the Aliens franchise, recently? Ask Sega — except don’t, because you’re pretty unlikely to get a straight answer from the company regarding the whereabouts of Aliens: Colonial Marines or the Obsidian-developed Aliens RPG. This new video, which can be seen after the break, is even more mysterious. It appears to be a 2D side-scrolling Aliens game developed by WayForward — the people making A Boy and His Blob — and Gearbox, developer of the console and PC version of Colonial Marines (if it still exists, that is).
Could this be a DS version of that same title, or is this something completely separate? Is it in development, or scrapped? The video description says it’s a canceled project that was completed and shelved due to financial trouble at Sega. We’ve reached out to Sega for comment, but we’re not counting on finding out much.

Sega also released images of the special edition boxes for both the UK and North America. Sega has yet to announce anything about the UK special edition, but we feel pretty confident in saying that there will be a hint book included.

This is the perfect week for Platinum Games and Sega to show off the first ship-to-ship battle footage from Infinite Space, visible after the post break. The Star Trek reboot movie comes out this week, and this game might as well be the JRPG take on Trek. The bottom screen shows the view from the captain’s chair, and the top screen is basically a feed of your ship’s viewscreen, providing a look at the enemy ship facing you down.
A few other quick battle clips are available in the “Star Ship” section of the official site. The game comes out next month in Japan, so we expect to start having more footage show up on screen soon!

Neither office has decided how it will give away the amazing swag yet, but we will let you know when they do. Right after we enter.
In other Let’s Tap news, the European release, like the Japanese release, will include two big boxes — as a “Limited Edition.” We’ve contacted Sega of America about the stateside packaging. We need boxes!

Sorry, split-screen fans, The Conduit is hanging you out to dry. According to lead designer Rob Nicholls, the upcoming shooter will exclude a split-screen multiplayer option in order to maintain the game’s visual punch. In an interview with HD Warriors, Nicholls said the main reason the feature isn’t included is because of concern the graphics quality would be reduced when “double-rendering” the game for the mode.
High Voltage’s top priority in developing The Conduit is making sure the title achieves the “best looking” graphics on the Nintendo Wii, said Nicholls. While the in-house tech team at High Voltage continues to squeeze power out of the console, The Conduit will ship without split-screen — but Nicholls said it is remains possibility for future titles.

Make no mistake, MadWorld is one of the most violent games we’ve ever seen but it’s all wrapped up into a big joke. It’s over the top, insane and pretty hilarious. Some of that hilarity is thanks to the one-two commentary punch of Greg Proops (Whose Line is It, Anyway?) and John DiMaggio (Bender from Futurama, among other things). Unfortunately, the latest trailer for MadWorld doesn’t include Proops & DiMaggio but a pair of actors trying desperately to pretend to be hilarious. Maybe we’re being overly harsh but you be the judge, check out the trailer after the break.

It feels like we just wrote a post about new The Conduit screens. Oh wait, that’s because we did. Yesterday. But, these are new screens, differing from those presented yesterday in almost every way possible. So, if you’re anxious to step into Mr. Ford’s shoes, then we suggest you step into our gallery below and satiate yourself on 13 brand new screens, some of which even depict real-life locations.
