I was wondering if anyone here was interested in the upcoming game, Battalion Wars 2, a game that spawned from the advance wars series, for the wii. It is said that this game will be the juggernaut on Wifi, and on the wii in general until Mario Star Galaxy is released. So, to prepare for the game, this thread will provide almost all the information that is currently known on the game.

STORY
In August of 2007, an issue of Nintendo Power revealed more details regarding the story
"Tricked into believing that the Solar Empire is developing a devastating super-weapon, Commander Pierce and Colonel Windsor of the Anglo Isles launch a pre-emptive strike. General Herman and Brigadier Betty of the Western Frontier are on garrison duty in the Solar Empire when the Anglos strike, and assist Empress Lei-Qo and Admiral A-Qira in repelling the invaders. But as the nations of the world, including the Tundran Territories, are once again propelled into all-out conflict, it becomes clear that a shadowy figure is pulling the strings from afar. Can it be that the power-hungry Kaiser Vlad of Xylvania has returned? And what does this have to do with the centuries-old conflict between the Iron Legion and the Solar Empire?"
