Arcade flight simulator headed to the Wii...

Xseed Games has confirmed to IGN that they plan to release the arcade flight simulator, The Sky Crawlers, in the U.S. for the Wii. The game will be released until the title of The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces, and is due out in time for the holiday season.

"I'm extremely pleased to be able to confirm The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces for gamers in North America," said Jun Iwasaki, president of Xseed Games. "The innovative control scheme and gorgeous visuals just go to show what a top-notch development team can do when creating a new game from scratch specifically for Wii."

Sky Crawlers allows players to play as pilots in an alternate future in which peace and prosperity has finally arrived -- and yet, warmongering citizens of the world cannot accept it. To appease the people, the government allows private wars between giant corporations. "It is the battles fought by these war contracted corporations... and media reports on them... that satisfy and replace the basic human instinct to fight using the war as a show," stated Xseed Games of the story in an official release.
