BWii and Mario Strikers Charged

[Reginald]

Only two new Wii games announced so far at GC2006.

BWii is a sequel to Battalion Wars.
Here's what to expect from the sequel to one of my favourite GC games:

# Assault, skirmish and co-op modes playable through the WiFi Connection.

# Land, sea and air combat with five new naval units and the ability to respawn units by capturing enemy buildings.

# More than twenty single player missions and over fifteen multiplayer missions.

# Six different races waging war across five environments

Looks like it has enhanced on the cartoon look well. Can't be bad. :E

Mario Strikers Charged is the sequel to Super Mario Strikers/Football.
"Mario Strikers Charged" will make use of the Nintendo WiFi Connection for online multiplayer tournaments

A HUGE screenshot here too. Sadly it shows off some of the poor anti-aliasing. (I hope that's the right word)

So not quite the Kid Icarus we were hoping for, but good news nonetheless. Especially BWii which has multiplayer, the one thing missing from the original.

Looks good. Any chance they'll show off some more games?

That was the stuff they showed at their conference. So maybe not. Although at E3 they showed one of their largest games out of the conference. (SSBB)

I don't think we're going to see anything of Kid Icarus for a while though. In fact, I'd rather they wait until later in the Wii's life to make it because they can squeeze more out of the console then.
