This tentatively titled sky dogfighter is another promising addition to this year's E3 line-up. First information inside...
In DS Air, players must take their elite strike fighters to the skies and hunt down a mad dictator before he takes over the world. The title is Nintendo's first realistic flight shooter on Nintendo DS, and allows you to send wave after wave of enemy fighters to their doom in dogfights over land, sea and air.
The game will let players customize their fighters with a state-of-the-art weapon loadout, and even meet a wingman for co-op play over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Up to four players will be able to fight via local wireless play.
After being driven from his seat of power, a vicious dictator has fled to a remote, mountainous region to plan a military uprising. Mysteriously, the opposing army's forces have received reinforcements, leading to speculation that an unknown nation is lending military assistance to the uprising. An ace pilot in an elite strike-fighter wing has been tasked with crushing the opposition forces and returning peace to the troubled region.
