The Conduit 2 is coming out for the Nintendo Wii on March 1, 2011. This new teaser showcases some of the locales from the game before exploding into fast-paced action.

The Conduit 2 will have a four player survival mode where players can team up locally to battle waves of enemies. Not incredibly original, but hey, take your co-op shooting when you can get it on the Wii. Be sure to watch the video all the way to the end. That's where the magic happens.
