Wing Island - Image 1 And so Konami and Hudson Entertainment finally decided to bring high-flying action flight adventure title Wing Island to Europe and North America. But before it arrives, we'll have to tell you some of the game's pertinent details. After all, nobody wants to be caught unprepared, right?

With that said, the game will revolve around the character of Junior and best friend Puffin. All they want to do, especially Junior, is fly high among the clouds and sweep above the island's glorious vistas. Well, it's perfectly understandable that Junior loves flying because, you see, Junior is actually a bird and a young one at that.

Anyway, Junior's grandpa owns a family-run aviation business but then decided to take a much needed vacation. The adventure begins when Junior is left to take care of their business. He takes to the skies, together with his friends, in order to take care of the needy islanders that inhabit the island.

Sounds interesting enough? We don't have to reiterate how all these will feel cool with a Wiimote. In case you want to know more, here are some of Wing Island's key features:
  • Story Mode: involves Junior running the aviation business across more than 25 original missions issued by the island's inhabitants. Successfully completed missions (such as dousing fires, delivering air freight, and spraying crops) lead to Junior securing cash rewards with which he can purchase and upgrade newly acquired aircraft.
  • Free Mode: players can re-play specific missions from Story Mode, taking a more relaxed, pressure free, route to obtaining high scores, or merely basking in the game's aerial beauty throughout any of Wing Island's six separate aircraft categories.
  • Trial Mode: two players can compete against each other across a selection of mini-games that thoroughly flex each pilot's amassed control skills. Players can use either the Wiimote or Nunchuk for extra multiplayer features.

Shame about the utter sh*te graphics that look like something from the N64.
