VARRIGAN CITY TV: PLATINUM’S LATEST MADWORLD TRAILER

Like Hatsworth below, Sega/PlatinumGames’ Wii brawler MadWorld is another upcoming Nintendo-related game that instantly pushed itself to the top of my watchlist, not so much for the brutal ultraviolence, but for the deeply tongue-in-cheek ‘Running Man’ parody that lies underneath.

Platinum’s latest trailer captures most of that in style, with running Sports Night commentary accompanying the duo-tone madness behind, and director Shigenori Nishikawa (formerly part of Capcom’s Resident Evil and Dino Crisis team) recently talked at length on Platinum’s own blog about striking that balance, blithely quipping, “the first element that I put into the game was shoving a sign through an enemy’s head.”
