Battalion Wars WiiU (Fans only please)

I loved Battalion Wars Wii minus the fact it had no communication in battle mode. I would love to see one for the WiiU. I can see having on screen and audio communications and having the screen on the controller being a map where you can come up with your battle plan and command troops so the main screen can be left for the soldier you control and the interface you need.

What would you all think and what would you like if it happened?

***If you don't like Battalion Wars and/ or have never played it, please don't leave comments saying such. I would just like fans of the game to brainstorm on ideas for a new WiiU game. Thanks***

I loved both Battalion Wars games, especially BWii, but the only problem I always had was organizing my troops effectively to counter my enemy troops. Things were always way too hectic and most of the time I ended up just keeping everything in one giant blob because it was too hard to quickly and efficiently micro-manage every battalion.

If the WiiU controller can help fix this (I think a touch screen would be better than the previous options) then I'm sold. I never did get into the online for it that much though. It was always empty and I ended up playing (read, beating :P) the same people over and over again so it got pretty boring.

Sure I mean the fundements of Battalion Wars are pretty great. It's a tiny bit like Battlezone or that new Toybox game, and different still. And the Wii U controller would fit perfectly. You can have the map displayed on your Wii U controller and select/direct units on the map by using that touch screen.
It would make most frustrations from previous Battalion Wars games disappear.

What it needs though is proper online modes. I mean this is a kind of game concept that would work very well online cooperatively and competitively.

I'm not sure whether past Battalion Wars games have been succesful enough to allow for another attempt. If they could put an ace team on a Wii U Battalion Wars, I'm telling you as someone who has been gaming longer than most developer employers, that thing would sell bucketloads. If only they would not hold back as I felt they did on the Wii, on features and making it control smoothly, and have a smooth framerate and online play. It has to be the whole package, but then it would be absolutely brilliant and have no competition for years to come.

I would say the same for a Dungeon Keeper wii u game. It would fit and it wouldn't have any competition. The only thing wrong with it, is that it's not happening. And that really sucks. That would be a million selling Wii U hit that wouldn't be hard to make. It frustrates me so much I would almost do it myself.

I alway had my troops with me everywhere I went I could manage them effectively.

"please only post if it's to compliment the game, we don't want a forum thread to work as it should by stimulating discussion". just had to point it out. you can't ask people to say what people think about it and then say "but only say it if you agree with me".BrunoBRS

I loved the first 2 a lot and definently want sequals.

make it into a map style (Starcraft type)..they have enough factions to do it...Would be cool with the Wii Ultra controller. :)

I definitely loved the last two Battalion Wars. The only problems I really had was I wished they included a Co-Op mode for the story missions or redesign its multiplayer mode in general. Add split screen please....

I also would mistakenly send out the wrong troops to certain locations in the heat of battle. It was a bit difficult managing everything on the battlefield. Hopefully, the WiiU controller can make it more easier to manage everything....

It was games like this that I wished Nintendo tried out connectivity with the DS like they would with the GC and GBA. DS could have became a map, showing all available enemy troops. Sort of like a PDA. It could have also been a way to manage your troops using the touch screen I would think. Selecting a few troops to run to certain locations on the maps. Perhaps there can be some sort of connectivity with 3DS and WiiU. At least, that's what I'm hoping....

I definitely agree with co-op. Being able to divide up all the troops with one player getting all the infantry and a tank or two and the other player getting the artillery or airships would not only ease up some of the micro management but make missions just a lot better and intense by having to work together and save each other from certain counters.

They could easily add a mode where you take control of a small group of standard infantry and just go to war against another small group too. It'd be a bit too similar to a standard TPS, but it would only be one mode.

Well, they did have online Co-Op configured that way in BWii. Just not any missions from the story...

I love the series and personally cannot wait for another one to come out in general. For BWIII I want a longer and more robust campaign and two new factions! Multiplayer to be bigger and better then ever with new game modes like 2v2 skirmishs, maybe even a create your own faction option for multiplayer that would be awesome. they should also add in more things to make it like a rts so that people can build and create building and units that they want, but this feature should probably be just in multiplayer. Another amazing feature would be the ability to make your own squads. For example I have riflemen, bazookas, two light tanks, and a heavy tank. If I wanted to split those up into groups and do a command & conquer play style I could.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE BATTALION WARS 3 FOR THE WII U IT WOOD BE A VERY GOOD GAME.

Battalion Wars have fans......??:lol:AtariKidX

see? if you hadn't even brought it up in the first place, people wouldn't be posting that.BrunoBRS

Not unless they evolve the gameplay. It was overly simplistic and easy, and has UI issues. Giving the player the exact number of troops they need to win, and then marching them through a straight path of enemies isn't strategy.meetroid8
