Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - on Wii

Soul79 | September 18, 2007 | News | Wii 
Star Wars fans have for a long time been dying for one of these. Yes, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed with lightsaber motion control is being released on the Wii.
LucasArts has revealed that Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will is coming to Wii next spring and it'll allow you to wield the Wii Remote as a Lightsaber. Now that's what we're talking about.

You can wield the Wii Remote as a lightsaber while using the Nunchuk controller to torment others with Force powers.

The game's story is set during the era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV A New Hope.

The Wii version, in development by Krome Studios, will also feature an exclusive duel mode in which players can compete head-to-head with their friends. Whether this si online remains to be seen, but we doubt it.

"Wii is a great platform for The Force Unleashed, because the console's motion-oriented controllers really bring the game to life," said Jim Ward, President of LucasArts. "We've worked hard to make the Wii version of the game unique in order to truly let you unleash the Force."

    Frankly, I'm surprised they didn't do this from the start. Fans have been clamouring for a Star Wars game on the Wii. More specifically, a light saber game. This definitely does look interesting. I'm not a Star Wars fan, I just never got into it although I did watch a movie, but if this is done properly it could be an excellent game. I'll even purchase it if it is really good, and I am not normally interested in the Star Wars franchise.

      Don't worry, they probably know that unlike the others which can just be kitted out with slightly different physics and graphics from each other the Wii is best suited for an individual design level wise as well as the control scheme. I want places that have to be cut up right.
