Talk:Combat Wings: The Great Battles of WWII

I don't think this game was ever released on Wii. It was delayed multiple times and after 2011 the company reports don't mention targetting Wii anymore, only PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. Flacs (talk) 01:44, 22 August 2020 (CEST)

So...

• GameFaq indicates it was canceled in NA, but has release dates for EU/AUS: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/wii/994904-combat-wings-the-great-battles-of-wwii/data
• Nintendolife has screenshots, but no review so those may be questionable: https://www.nintendolife.com/games/wii/combat_wings_the_great_battles_of_wwii/screenshots
• Nintendo-insider seems to indicate those screenshots came directly from the publisher: https://www.nintendo-insider.com/combat-wings-the-great-battles-of-wwii-receives-wii-screenshots/
• It seems this was discussed on the forum page back in 2017: https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-wii-combat-wings-the-great-battles-of-wwii
• One questionable bit is that LordVador rated it a 4 back in 2013. And I thought they were a somewhat reliable contributor, but it's been a while so perhaps I'm misremembering.
• This Jeuxvideo.com page also has a review, but "I tried it at a friend's house" may not be reliable...: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jeuxvideo.com%2Fjeux%2Fwii%2F00037472-combat-wings-the-great-battles-of-world-war-ii.htm
• Meta-critic has 0 reviews: https://www.metacritic.com/game/wii/combat-wings-the-great-battles-of-wwii

I'm OK, with purging this, butit does seem like there may be some evidence for it, perhaps only in a pre-release form.

I'm guessing the review was written without looking at the platform. I think we should just introduce a message box like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Ambox to indicate that a game was likely never released. There are a few other games that probably don't exist either. Flacs (talk) 07:42, 22 August 2020 (CEST)
