So, 2 players cooperation is now confirmed...just not in the way you would expect it.
Basically, as a certain indication is displayed on the upper left side of the screen when you connect another Wiimote, a second player can take this Wiimote, and point at the screen to shot at the enemy, granted he is at gun's range (think : Super Mario Galaxy coop mode). In the game, it seems like it is translated by another plane joining you to fly in formation with your plane.
(2P mode in action)
Anyway, a few more details from
there :
- 12 playable planes in total, with the ability to customize each of them with 26 different parts [I imagine this remodeling would influence the plane's handling to an extent]
- 17 different missions [for comparison, AC6 had 15 missions. AC Zero had 18, AC5 had 27, and AC4 had 18]
