Hudson just launched the official site for Wing Island, that Wii flight sim I was messing around with at the New York City event. The page is a little light on content, but there is a fact sheet and a group of screenshots. All the details are on the jump as well as more sexy pics. Brian Crecente

The Nintendo Wii is fast approaching and Hudson has claimed a stake in its launch titles with Wing Island! Clamored for at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo, Wing Island was nowhere to be found. Now, we bring you an exclusive preview of what is sure to be the one of the top flight simulators of the season, due in part to Nintendo's innovative Wii remote controller.

The Wii controller features an accelerometer (yes, that's a real word!) that senses motion, allowing users to control aircraft like real pilots. Forget the analog stick. The Wii controller acts as the yoke of a plane! Tilt it up and planes climbs in the air. Tilt it down and planes dive. Twist it left or right and planes performs barrel rolls.

In Wing Island, you're not always flying alone. Take command of an aircraft squadron and change formation with the press of a button. Flick your wrist and your squadron will perform special tasks specific to the formation they're in. With incredibly intuitive controls, anyone can pick this game up and have a blast. What's more, two players can go at it in a series of competitive tournaments!

The storyline revolves around conquering islands that each contains missions. Missions range from popping balloons to putting out fires to dropping cargo. Earn money by completing missions and upgrade your plane. Salivating? How about a mission where you must save an ocean liner in distress as a fire blankets its exterior hull? Too much excitement for you? How about a mission exploring the island in search of an elusive cow? As you progress in the game, the islands become increasingly difficult. With missions like these, however, there's always fun along the way!

Game Highlights:
Nintendo's Wii remote acts as the yoke of the plane! A motion sensor relays aircraft control, producing flight simulation like never before!
Multiplayer support! See who can pop the most balloons or have a sky racing derby!
Unlock more planes! Planes get faster, stronger, and even easier to control.
A variety of missions and environments await you and your team of sky workers. Do you have what it takes?
