Sheep - Why is Battalion Wars II not hyped?

I would make a proper thread for this, but I'm way to tired. But anyways, why is Battalion Wars II (BWii) not hyped? I barely hear anything from it besides a few people mentioning it. The online is going to be a lot of fun - the thing missing from the first was the multiplayer/online multiplayer. I'm definitely going to pick it up.

3 Online Multiplayer Modes
Assault: Instant Combat
Skirmish: Tactical depth
Co-op: Work with friends

3 Theatres of War
Combine land, sea and air combat

5 New Naval Units
Battleship, Frigate, Submarine, Dreadnought, Transport

6 Different Races, 5 Different Environments
With new vehicles for each side

Wii-Controller
Provides intuitive, all-action gameplay

Greater tactical depth
Capture facility buildings to re-spawn units (HQ, Barracks, Factories, Airfield, Docks)
Use Map Screen Commanding to order from afar

Bigger and Better
20+ single player missions AND 15+ mp missions
Increased replay value

I predict 8.5 - 9.

Maybe they don't want to hype it just yet?Shad0ki11

But why not? Wii online games are few and far between. And this looks to be a GOOD Wii online game that could be really addictive.

I never played the original. I heard the game involves RTS, but also let's you control and fight with individual units. I've been dreaming of a game like that. Is this true?Overthrow

Pretty much. It mixes RTS and 3rd person shooter genres.

That. Is awesome. Officially hyping BWii when opportunities arise.

Admittedly, I've never played the original, but it looks freaking awesome. And, yes, I'm fairly certain that is how it works. And they have added a lot more stuff with this one as well as a graphics update and online.

This looks interesting, but I'd hype it when it gets closer to the launch date. There are other, more anticipated things to be hyped at the moment though.

You must be mistaken, I'm hyping this. Though, I need more info, to say what hype... but I'll say from what I've seen... AA seems good. I mean, it has Multiplayer, which was needed in the last BW game... but I wanna know how online will work, especially communicating int he co-op sections. That is the game's crux. If Nintendo fails to deliver, it won't be much I'm afraid.yoshi_64

My only worry... no voice chat, which I'm pretty sure it won't have. :( And that will be a huge disappointment.

I never played the first one but am a huge fan of the Advance Wars series, are they similar?briguyb13

They're not that similar besides the art style. I'd prefer playing Batallion Wars to Advance Wars simply because Advance wars is more of astrategy game, while Battalion wars uses strategy, but you're actually part of the battle rather than observing it from above.

I really have no use for this "hype" you speak of.

What i really need is a copy of the game.

Who knows - Nintendo could pull something out of their sleeves... litterally. Although, I'm not getting too hopeful.

I'm hyping it, but post better screenshots XD

I'm hyping it AAA, and you can quote me on this, are you happy?

I looked at a video for this game and it looks awesome.

I rented the first one during the Wii drought and found it to be both addicting and fun, I recommend anyone to pick it up if you havent given it a shot. It doesn't take long to get through and provides a great variety of gameplay.

Plus, it's incredibly cheap these days.

its a bit to mature maybe?-MoOkS-

:roll:

Anyway, I think the game will be great. AA most likely, but there's AAA potential.

Dude, that game's been around for ages - it's called Battlezone, there's also a sequel there too that wasn't as recieved as well. Go look it up, great games, can run on any PC these days.

I'm waiting to see how it turns up at E3. If it turns up pretty well there, then I'm fully prepared to hype away.Hoffgod

We are hyping BWii as much as Lemmings are hyping Banjo-Threeie.

Dang, I'm hyping Banjo-Threeie an ultra high AAA.

Warhawk > Battalion Wars II.

Fanboys re-writing history at its best. What a horrible friggin game. Gamespot's score was dead on with that game.

I predict 8.5 - 9.

m_machine024

ditto. This is not a BIG Nintendo franchise and Nintendo are swimming in quality first party stuff. Super Paper Mario, Zelda TP, Warioware, Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, super Smash

this is just not as good unfortuantely

I actually agree with Bread_or_Decide! :o

Yeah, Mario Kart 64 is by far the worst mario kart. It deserved its score.

You may not have like the game and it's ok but that fanboy crap is just stupid.

i think LoZ:TP review has put a MASSIVE dent in their confidence of Nintendo's 1st party abilities and thats why theres less hype coming from the sheep-MoOkS-

No it hasn't. It put a massive dent in sheep's relationship with Gamespot, though.

I'm hyped for this game.
