While most preferred the Advance Wars turn-based strategy series on the GameBoy Advance and DS to the real-time strategy GameCube Battalion Wars spin-off, which sold rather poorly. Nintendo and Kuju still announced a sequel on the Wii titled Battalion Wars 2.

Nintendo of Europe has announced two new games for the Wii at the Leipzig Games Convention in Germany. Super Mario Strikers 2: Charged and Battalion Wars 2. Both feature much use of the Wii controller and even online modes via the Nintendo WiFi Connection!
