[QUOTE="Koopaknight29"]

I don't think that Nintendo was really trying to compete with Halo on this one. They are just releasing BWii on their own time schedule, competition be damned. Could they have picked a better date? Sure, but it won't kill the game. I'm more worried on how online will play. Any news from the front on that? I heard rumors of Mii specific friend-codes. (Still annoying, but better if true.) Besides its a First-Person RTS not a shooter.

As for what they are smoking... certainly can't be worse than what the guys over at SONY are huffin'.

Edit'd: 'cause I suck at proofreading.

Battalion Wars is 3rd person, not 1st person, and its also a modern shooter/combat game. I loved the original BW game on the GC so I hope BW2 is just as fun and that the online is good. The game is kind of cheesey in character design, however its insanely fun to play and will no doubt be a great game. I also disliked the voice acting which was pretty lame as well, however the great gameplay makes up for that.

Ah, sorry about that... so third person RTS/shooter, right? Mmm, how's the controls/commands? Not too bulky I hope. I kinda missed out on the first one.

Eh I don't know about you but I'm picking up both. :)MoldOnHold
I'm thinking about doing that but I will buy Halo 3 first since my Brother already pre-ordered it, and I might still be playing Bioshock when BWii releases since I pre-ordered it.

Eh Bioshock doesn't interest me...but Mass Effect and Metroid Prime 3 sure do! I'll be playing those.

I don't really care-Halo fans will just buy Halo, and people interested in BWii will just buy BWii. And those who want both probably have both pre-ordered anyway. (If you want to know which one I'm more interested in, it's BWii. They screwed up Halo 2 BIG TIME, so I'm not holding my breath on the third iteration. That, and I like RTSs where I get to directly control my units.)

Batallion Wars isn't a shooter, and if you think it is, then that's your problem right there.

White Mage7117 is my Gamertag and Havoc1771 is my brothers and I just put my brothers gamertag in my Sig because he doesn't have a GS account he used to but not anymore he never posted he forgot his password aswell, so I just put his so if anybody wants to add him they can, but he uses the F word alot when he accidently kills his teamate in Call of Duty 3.

Halo is a lot more pouplar then BW. Even if BWii score higher, Halo 3 will sell more. But BWii still is going to be fun.

Batallion Wars :lol:

It doesnt matter if they reelase it on Halo 3 day. Wii owners who hate Xbox 360 wont have an Xbox 360, so they'll buy their precious Battallion Wars anyways.

The thing is that BWii is going to be like Viewtiful Joe, Killer 7, Psychonauts etc. It's going to be a good game, but Battalion Wars was DEFINITELY not a system seller. A good game, but it definitely didn't help sell any Gamecubes. Still, with luck, everyone will be too busy buying Halo 3 to notice the other good games around that time and I might not have to preorder MP3 and SSBB.

In case you didn't know, Battalion Wars is a good game. Of course, I guess anything on a Nintendo console automatically sucks so I'm not gonna bother arguing anymore.

What are you talking about, one is a FPS the other is a 3rd person strategy shooter, they are completly different games. Why are you comparing them in the first place?

Um well it doesnt really matter. ITs not one of the big 3 nintendo games going up against Halo. That didnt work well before. Remember MP2 launched around the same time as Halo 2. Halo 2 had monster sales, and MP2 was a great critical success but only got half the sales of MP1.BW1 didnt do that well. SO BWii wasnt all that special to begin with in terms of sales. But i bet it will still have solid sales. Will it be a million seller probably not. Will it be a good buy for wii owners, yes. Nintendo has done with its marketing, im sure BWii will get enough advertisment to get some buys. But Halo will own September.

The Halo series is a major gaming franchise it is a few levels above bwii, although bwii is a good game and spin off of advance wars it isn't on Halo 3 level.

I do not think the release date of BW will change the overall demand for BW.  Wii owners that dont have a 360 dont care if Halo is coming out, why would they?

They're two very different games tho.  I plan on getting both...im sure a lot of people do.  Bwii is a lot different than Halo 3, ya know?  Two different audiences, which is prolly wut nintendo realized.

Battalian Wars 2, they just make it BW and then instead of having capital letters in the Roman Numerals they just have them lower case so it looks like BWii, instead of BWII.

Okay, so if BWii is so different from Halo, what game can it be compared to? Ghost Recon? Lost Planet? Please don't tell me BWii is so revolutionary that it defies classification.... :roll:

I only have a Wii, and I'm looking forward to BWii, so I'm getting it, and not Halo 3, that's what they're banking on, people like me.

I agree with the TC.  It is just a bad business move to release this game alongside Halo 3.  It will get lost in the Halo 3 hype and forgotten.  This happened with a great game called "Beyond Good and Evil".  It released among other hyped titles, and got lost in the mix.  People didn't even know it existed, or didn't care.  This is just a bad, bad idea for BWII.  The game should release a few months after Halo 3 to give it a better probability of more sales.

 Halo 3 isn't going to undermine BW2. BW2 is going to undermine Halo 3. Specially after it flops.

TNT_Slug

Halo 3 could score a 1.2 and BWII a perfect 10...Halo 3 would obliterate it in sales anyway.  This is the sad truth.

I don't know they just call it that because instead of having it look like this BWII people just lower case the II's so it would look like Wii after the B so it is also listing the Console it is on aswell as the name of the game, that is what i think I don't really know why they call it that.

True. But this can be said about some Nintendo franchises also.

[QUOTE="cyprus646"]BW2 is a nintendo exclusive so how would it affect halo 3's saleS:? cyprus646

it won`t in the least. but millions of people buying and playing Halo 3 may affect BWii in a negitive way.

So your saying buyinG a xbox 360 exclusive game is going to affect a wii exclusives game sales? Yea that makes alot of sence :roll:

It does :| People who own a 360 and Wii who only have room in their budget for one game are likely going to choose Halo over Batallion Wars :| However, BW2 isn't going to sell much regardless of when it's released.

They're on different consoles, so Halo 3 won't have that big of a impact on BWii's sales. There are differen't people who own different consoles. Zelda releasing on the same week as BWii would have a much more bigger impact.
