Nintendo’s Battalion Wars 2 is now available for Wii, complete with support of the Wi-Fi Connection for head-to-head and co-op action.
The online options include two adversarial modes in total, Skirmish and Assault, as well as an online co-op mode through the story.
Battalion Wars 2 lets players take command of soldiers and vehicles to help turn the tide of war during the course of 20 single-player missions. Using the motion-sensitive Wii Remote and Nunchuk, Battalion Wars 2 lets players target enemies precisely while moving their characters in a hybrid of third-person action and real-time strategy gameplay.
Players can command a variety of vehicles, from tanks and helicopter gunships to battleships and submarines, but the real key to the game lies in the tactics. Players can rally their troops to attack a specific target or switch to take control of a vehicle to shoot down an incoming plane. As players progress through the game, new troops and new equipment (e.g. tanks, bazookas and flame throwers) join the battalion.
