While some assumed that XS Games’ Rebel Raiders: Operation Nighthawk would be jetting its way onto the Nintendo Wii last month, the company has today confirmed that the futuristic flight sim in fact arrive in stores on September 16.

Already released on the PC and Sony PlayStation 2, Rebel Raiders: Operation Nighthawk sees players assuming the role of a group of rookie fighter pilots, on a mission to save the world from corruption and turmoil at the hands of the Union of World Nations. So, quite a lot responsibility, then.

Players use both the Wii Remote and Nunchuck to control 23 different craft through 34 dangerous missions, where explosions, dogfights and the use of sick bags are a guarantee.
