Wing Island

Take to the skies and fly a bi-plane to complete simple missions and aerial challenges. The control of the biplane is rudimentary where the Wiimote and nunchuk are used to sway the plane from side to side, glide, and heave higher. To perform a swirling roll, rotate the Wiimote in a vigorous circle and it'll spin through the air like a trained seal. To sway, just rock the controller smoothly and it'll obey.
Depending on the mission, players control either a single bi-plane or a squadron of five planes that are seemingly tethered to each other and move as one through the skies in perfect formation. Objectives are given before each mission including one where the plane has sight targets on the ground. Simply descend close towards the target and a cursor will appear on the target to indicate that you've successfully spotted the objective. A similar mission requires that targets be sighted and then the bi-plane has to glide close to it in order to drop a net on each target on the landscape.
Other missions include popping balloons, engaging in delivery missions, racing against competing bi-planes, locating a lost child, and photographing flocks of birds. Each mission is allowed three minutes to complete which is more than enough time for most of the tasks.
