Nintendo announced Battalion Wars 2 (or BWii) for Wii at its conference at the Games Convention in Leipzig earlier today and we now have first information on the title.
Here's the scoop on BWii's plot: Commander Pierce and Colonel Windsor of the Anglo Isles are tricked into believing that the Solar Empire is developing a devastating super-weapon, and so they launch a pre-emptive strike on the Coral Atolls. War has broken out. Again.
In a bullet-point breakdown, Nintendo's informed that the tactical action game features over 20 single-player missions and 15-plus multiplayer missions, lets players drive tanks, command ships, pilot plans and direct troops, features five new naval units - battleship, frigate, submarine, dreadnought and transport - and provides "intuitive, all-action gameplay" thanks to the Wii controller.
In addition, we're told that the game's three multiplayer modes consist of Assault (described as "instant combat"), Skirmish ("tactical depth") and Co-op ("work with friends"), and that the Wii sequel boasts greater tactical depth courtesy of the ability to capture facility buildings to re-spawn units and to use Map Screen Commanding "to order from afar".
And that's your lot at the moment. Keep eyes peeled for first screenshots touching down shortly.
