Kuju buoyant over Battalion Wars II success in Japan (News)

Jun 2, 2008

Totsugeki!!! Famicom Wars VS - known as Battalion Wars II outside of Japan - launched in the sixth position on the All-Formats chart and is behind only Mario Kart and Wii Fit on the Wii charts for the second week running.

That's an impressive showing in a generally quiet market in Japan after the recent "Golden Week" holiday. It is also impressive when you consider that US and European games haven't done particularly well in the territory - although recent high-status titles may be starting to shift public opinion.

"I have the impression that a certain Western exoticism plays a part in attracting attention to the title," Kuju London's creative director Tancred Dyke-Wells told GamesIndustry.biz.

Battalion Wars 2 (Review)

Nov 1, 2007

Nov 1, 2007 Like its predecessor, Battalion Wars 2 is an action/RTS hybrid, similar to PC titles such as Savage.

Controlling units, as well as performing other actions such as attacking, issuing orders and raising flags to assume control of mission objectives would require an elegant ...
