Sega’s launched the official site for Platinum Wii actioner, Mad World.

The site design mirror’s the game’s graphical style – black and white with red the only colour used – and there’s some shots, wallpapers, videos and the like.

Platinum Games confirmed at Game Convention that online Mad World features are being considered.

Project head Atsushi Inaba said that the “game is for single-player, just for single-player,” but the firm is “still in discussions and may have [online] features to announce.”

The comments came at the end of a lengthy presentation of the Wii game at the German show, which showed the game looking distinctly distinct in all its black and white goriness.

Mad World’s out early next year.

Mad World creator Platinum Games has said to CVG that Mad World was developed for Wii because “it feels like a game that is at home.”

“We’re really interested in the Wii platform so we wanted to create a really cool and stylish game for that,” said Platinum’s Atsushi Inaba.

“As you can see [from our Leipzig presentation] it’s really easy to pick up and play so when we came up with the concept of Mad World the Wii felt like a good console for that. It feels like a game that is at home on Wii.”

Sega has said during a presentation at Games Convention earlier today that the company is “working with ratings boards” making sure Wii slasher, Mad World, makes it through adjudication process.

“Yes, it’s violent,” admitted Sega marketing man David Corless.

“We don’t try to hide that, but as publishers, we see it as a fantasy game – it’s fantasy violence. It’s over the top. It’s cartoony.”

“We also take the violence very seriously,” he went on. “We are working with the age rating boards, with PEGI and with BBFC. We’re not at the end of the game’s development, but we’re working with them now to make sure that we don’t go over the top.

“The game has been banned in Germany; there’s no getting around that unfortunately. But we are taking it seriously and we’re going to make sure that this game is rated for the appropriate audience,” he said.

Thanks, CVG.

German site Nintedo-online reports that neither Wii slasher Mad World, nor the recently announced House of the Dead: Overkill, will be seeing the light of day in Germany.

However, both games will be shown this week at Games Convention in Leipzig…Germany.

Don’t ask us.

Thanks, Nintendoeverything.

Cubed3 has them. This Platinum Games venture is something we would have liked to have seen more of at Nintendo’s press conference yesterday but as it appears no-one smiles in this game, it’s no surprise it got left out.
