• Battleship details for Wii, 3DS and DS emerge

  Activision has revealed the first details of the Wii, Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DS versions of the forthcoming videogame adaptation of the movie Battleship.

  While Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 owners will receive a story-driven shooter developed by Double Helix, Nintendo fans will instead be treated to a more strategy-oriented experience, inspired by the classic board game on which the film is based.

  Taking control of their own naval fleets, players will be challenged to fend off an alien invasion by tactically deploying submarines, destroyers, patrol boats and other vessels in turn-based battles.

  Developer Magic Pockets' version of Battleship will include a number of navy personnel characters to play as, each of whom has unique abilities that can turn the tide of conflicts.

  A wide variety of unlockable content and customisation options are also promised.

  All versions of Battleship will be released in April 2012 to coincide with the release of the blockbuster film starring Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgard, Rihanna and Liam Neeson.

• Battleship movie to receive videogame tie-in

  Activision is teaming up with toymaker Hasbro to release a videogame version of Battleship, the upcoming blockbuster film adaptation of the classic naval strategy game.

  Inspired by Universal Pictures' new action-adventure film starring Taylor Kitsch, Rihanna and Liam Neeson, the game combines the traditional strategic command elements of the board game with intense first-person combat.

  It follows the exploits of an elite demolitions specialist who must simultaneously orchestrate land and sea-based strategies against a ferocious extraterrestrial menace that has been hiding beneath the ocean waves near the coast of Hawaii.

  Battleship will be released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in April 2012, with unique versions for Wii, Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS also on the way.

  David Oxford of Activision said: "The game is next-gen naval warfare that thrusts players into the middle of humanity's last stand against an unfamiliar menace."

  Activision has previously enjoyed success with its movie tie-in games for Hasbro's Transformers franchise, including last year's popular Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
