Wii takes flight with Wing Island

View image This is just an excuse to put up some screens of Hudson's forthcoming biplane stunt sim for Wii. Released in Japan last year (I think) and coming out here at the end of March, Wing Island allows players to garner intricate control over their craft via the controller's tilt and motion sensors. Thrusting backwards and forwards controls fast deccelaration and acceleration, while a quick turn can be achieved with a left or right wave. There are 27 missions, as well as a free flight mode, and success opens up tuning options.

I've put two more screens below. View image View image

The similarly stunt-based Pilot Wings remains one of my favourite ever flight games, with Konami's Dreamcast shooter, Deadly Skies, and X-wing vs Tie Fighter coming up close behind. How about you?
