High Voltage's Eric Nofsinger whets our apetite even more for the June convention...

Speaking with Destructoid, Chief Creative Ofiicer at High Voltage Software, Eric Nofsinger talked all things Conduit and more.

Amongst other things, Nofsinger reconfirmed the presence of Friend Codes for the online Wii shooter. However, the folks at High Voltage want the system to be "as elegant as possible" while still following Nintendo's boundaries for online play. Nofsinger stressed that he did not want the process to be a "pain in the butt".

The subject of downloadable content also came up. Unfortunately, The Conduit will not feature any DLC, but Nofsinger did have some promising words for the future:

"...that's something that's definitely on our radar. With the version 4 update to the Wii, it's incredible. I know for myself, I'm doing a lot more WiiWare right now, now that I have the space to put stuff on there. It's definitely something we are aware that first-person shooter fans like is being able to download maps, download weapons, download new skins. It's great for developers, as it's a steady, incremental revenue streams, and it's great for players, as it extends the gameplay in new and meaningful ways. All the way around, we are keenly aware, and it's definitely something to keep an eye out for what we have cooking in the future."

Finally, he teased gamers with what the company has in store for E3:

"...We're going to have some really cool announcements around E3 and we're really excited to show off some our new tech."

What else could HVS have cooking up? We know that the company has previously spoken of desires to make an RPG, and we would like to see more of what the Quantum3 engine can do for AAA Wii games.

Nintendo's own E3 press conference starts on June 2nd, so perhaps we will learn more around then. Don't forget to leave your comments below, and check out the full interview in the link...
