    A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away we made a claim that the rumored Pilotwings title coming to the Wii would be developed by Hudson. Well, we were wrong. Turns out, Hudson doesn't even need the Pilotwings name as they've come up with their own flight-based title in Wing Island. We aren't surprised in the least as Hudson has pledged to fully support Nintendo's console.Naturally, the Wiimote will act as a yoke for the plane, allowing a more realistic control scheme for navigating the skies. A variety of missions and unlockable content, the game will also feature multiplayer, however we're unsure as to whether multiplayer encompasses playing online or if it is strictly limited to local play. Does this mean that the rumored Bonk title is a no-go or being put on the back burner?The game's page at Hudson's site may be accessed here.

    A plethora of pictures depicting in-game action of the sort you're dying to experience have hit the interwubs running over at French gaming site Jeux-France. In Yoshi's Island 2, Yoshi must aid the likes of Baby Mario, Baby Donkey Kong, and Baby Peach in locating children who have gone missing from the island. This, of course, has nothing to do with the recent arrival of an equally-mysterious floating island in the skies above the already existing island full of Yoshis. Yoshi's Island 2 is currently set for a November release in the US and a January release in Europe.
