BWii Gameplay Videos
Gaming journalists got their hands – literally – on a playable demo of Nintendo’s upcoming Wii title Battalion Wars 2 when the company decided to show the game off behind closed doors at the 2006 Games Convention. Last time, we presented you with screenshots of the units from the game. Now we present two gameplay videos from IGN showing BWii in all its no-guts, no-glory motion-sensing action.
It’s easy to infer via the gameplay video and running commentary that controlling the game is easy to learn and quite intuitive (especially for anyone who’s played a light-gun game or a PC FPS). The Wiimote controls an on-screen cursor that can be used to lock on to or designate enemy targets, and select friendly units to control. Tapping the side of the screen with the cursor pans the screen in that direction. Character movement is controlled from the Nunchuck’s analog stick, while flicking the unit makes the character jump up or to the side. Finally, aside from controlling any of your units, you can also command them to follow you with the A button, or to attack an enemy by locking on to the target and pressing the A button.
Just watching these videos, we suddenly have this urge to get our own hands on BWii when it finally comes out. We just don’t know when that will be. (And everywhere else we checked was TBA.)
