Battalion Wars II's US Release Date will be September 24. That's a day before Halo 3's release. Not a good sign.

RE: Battalion Wars II US Release Date September 24I think the online hype will be more apparent with Mario Strikers Charged, which if I remember correctly, would be the first NA Wii online game. Although soccer may not be that popular in the region, it is not too difficult to assume that it would be more accessible to more people than BWII, genre, characters, and all. An online-enabled strategy game is still a strategy game, with a relatively unknown franchise at that.
I have a feeling that Nintendo is just trying to fix its own release dates, Halo 3 be damned.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 288 ]bids

RE: Battalion Wars II US Release Date September 24The Halo 3 hype train will make successfully advertising any other game nearly impossible. WITH a good amount of publicity advertising BW II as one of the first online games on the Wii, this game could have gone places. But without, it seems like sales won't be able get that initial boost that it needs. Since the main draw of this game is being one of the first online Wii games, most of its sales will come early in its lifetime.[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 12 ]bids

RE: Battalion Wars II US Release Date September 24The two games are in different consoles, of different genres, and definitely catering to different audiences. BWII is a niche title to begin with. I don't think the proximity of Halo 3's release would affect the almost expectedly (relatively) low lifetime sales of this game.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 288 ]bids

BWII isn't a 'system seller', and Nintendites are going to buy the game regardless of Halo 3 coverage.
