Petit Copter flying over the Pacific

Posted Nov 28th 2007 1:30PM by JC Fletcher


Aksys appears to be the default U.S. publisher for Arc System Works's Japanese releases. In addition to the wonderful DS games they're localizing, they have picked up Sonic Powered's mini-flight sim, Petit Copter. The American release will be titled MiniCopter: Adventure Flight. This is the first American release for a game in the Petit Copter series, which has entries on the PS2, Xbox and other systems.

Now that we know we'll get to play it, we're somewhat more interested in the title than before. The graphics are pretty rough, yes, but flying around in an oversized world, manipulating objects and carrying out objectives with air missiles and suction cups at least sounds unique. Of course, we'll be a lot more "somewhat more interested"
in a budget-priced MiniCopter.

Petit Copter: medical aviation in action

The Wii is all about innovation and new gameplay experiences. Like swinging a controller like a tennis racket, or pantomiming cooking motions, or even standing on things. Sometimes, however, the innovation comes not in the interface, but in the content of the game, as in Petit Copter.

Petit Copter will allow you to experience something that you've hopefully never done: flying a tiny model helicopter around in a hospital. Of course, the tiny helicopter probably has an important mission to carry out in the hospital, so that's just fine. Only fly model aircraft in hospitals when you really need to.

Petit missions in Petit Copter

Famitsu's got some much clearer screens of Arc System Works and Sonic Powered's Petit Copter, and it looks great! But we love the aesthetic of Dreamcast games. Those of you expecting next-gen may be less enthused about the visuals. We're pretty sure, for example, that those rings are supposed to be ring-shaped.

As low-key as the graphics may be, we think the mission types are even more so. The article reveals three kinds of missions:
  1. Taking off, flying somewhere, and landing
  2. Picking up something with a suction cup and dropping it off
  3. Shooting at some targets with a puff of air
Combined, these three activities could make for some really interesting missions! Alone ... no. Outside of tutorial missions, we have to believe they'll mix it up. The article mentions shooting at switches to manipulate things in the level, which sounds like it opens up all kinds of missions around the house!
