According to
Game|Life and
Dengeki Online, Namco Bandai is bringing Ghost in the Shell director Mamoru Oshii's latest film, "The Sky Crawlers," to the Wii in the form of a flight combat sim. The genre (not to mention Namco's
Ace Combat team) makes for a perfect fit given the movie's focus on a group of fighter pilots, albeit in an alternate setting.
Though it won't be measured in Japan until fall, the success of
Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces will likely hinge on how well the controls are implemented -- the Wiimote functions as the throttle and the nunchuck acts as the control stick -- and how popular the film ends up being. At least the game will let us skip all the existential chatter, right?

This is similar to the controls I want for Star Fox. Move the plane with the analog stick, and the camera/aim with the IR Pointer, with a small bounding box, like Metroid Prime 3.
