Namco are developing a very nice looking combat flight sim for the Wii - Sky Crawlers, taking full advantage of the unique Wii remote as the control system.

There’s not a great deal of information available, and it looks like it may be a Japanese only release, but it’s certainly worth watching the video. The first half is an interview and the second half contains some in-game shots.

Okay, it’s radio controlled flight, but it still looks like fun

MiniCopter Adventure Flight is a radio controlled aircraft simulator for the Nintendo Wii, due to be released any time now.
