SEGA has confirmed that it has signed a deal with development studio Platinum Games Inc.,that will initially bring three brand new titles to Wii, DS and PS3.

The first title is MADWORLD a third-person action game exclusively for Wii set for release in quarter one 2009. Produced by Atsushi Inaba, MADWORLD will boast unique black and white style, depicting a sharp backdrop that straddles graphic novels and 3D worlds.

As players battle opponents, they must master the use of various weapons and items found within their environment, such as chainsaws and street signs, while entertaining sports commentary plays in the background. Humour and and over-the-top violence, should ensure that MADWORLD will deliver a unique gaming experience on Wii.

The game offers over 200 characters and the ability to control multiple spaceships at any one time.

Bayonetta is a cinematic action game, directed by creator Hideki Kamiya and set for release in 2009 on the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3. A witch with powers beyond the comprehension of mere mortals, Bayonetta faces-off against countless angelic enemies. We're promised outlandish finishing moves as Bayonetta flows from one fight to another. The action will be over-the-top and will take place in stages.
