Adventure Flight Wii under development for Japan

Japan‘s weekly Famitsu magazine has just confirmed that a new game is currently under development for the Wii console, titled Adventure Flight (aka Puchi Copter Wii). In case you’re wondering, yes, this appears to be a Wii-fied port of Taito‘s Puchi Copter 2 originally on the PlayStation 2.

The game’s current publisher is Arc System Works (Guilty Gear, Hokuto No Ken arcade, Hooked! Real Motion Fishing), and is currently reported to be about 60% complete. As for the rest of the features Adventure Flight Wii is expected to carry:

• Gameplay: Players will take control of a mini-helicopter they can fly through parks, houses and other buildings. In-game tasks include learning to take off, land, and shooting at assigned targets.
• Controls: Tilting the Wiimote in certain direction causes game’s mini-helicopter to move the same way. Pressing the “B” Button causes the helo to climb, while letting go causes it to descend.
• Customizable Parts: The game enables players to swap out parts on their helo, which amounts to 54 different possible helicopter types.
• Multiplayer capability

No confirmed date has been reported for Adventure Flight’s release in Japan. Given that it appears to have a long way to go before completion, we’ll get back to you when we pick up more info in the near future.
